Having attained the coveted status of Assassin Master, I found myself recruited by the federal government for a chilling purpose: the elimination of high-profile targets shielded from legal consequences. But make no mistake, this path was not of my choosing. Alongside peers of my age, I was thrust into an unforgiving world, subjected to relentless training and a job of utmost hostility. Criminals subjected us to torture, coercing us into executing tasks that pushed the boundaries of our physical and mental endurance. In this crucible, we honed skills beyond imagination-surveillance, assassination, close-quarters combat, weapons proficiency, the art of pinpointing ambush sites, calculating bullet trajectories, and planning secure exits. We even endured confinement underwater, tethered to rocks, enhancing our ability to remain submerged for an astonishing 30 minutes. Many perished along the way, but those who endured ascended to the zenith of our field, surpassing all expectations of human capability. From a pool of 600 children, only 47 of us remain after five grueling years. We became known as "The Apollyon," a group of elite, trusted, and highly skilled contract killers. Among the professional killers, we were referred to as the "Single Digits," evoking both dread and respect. We were the untamed beasts who left no trace, achieved a 100% kill rate, embodied ruthless efficiency, and displayed unwavering resolve. Yes, you read that correctly. The individual atop the "Single Digits" hierarchy appears to be no more than 14 years old. I stand at 5'9, a physical transformation brought about by the grueling daily regimen imposed upon us. My physique rivals that of Olympic athletes, and I possess their agility, along with a unique set of skills that earned me the code name "Zero." In our organization, where Rank 1 signifies the most skilled assassin, Rank 0 is reserved for those who transcend all expectations. These are individuals capable of eliminating high-value targets without weapons and in the direst of circumstances. They are the ones who navigate the most impregnable fortresses without specialized tools and emerge victorious from battles against a multitude of contract killers, bearing only a few scars as testament to their prowess. "Code Zero" is the tale of this enigmatic journey, a narrative that pushes the boundaries of what's possible. Within these pages, secrets will unravel, alliances will be tested, and the true essence of power and control will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. This is the story of an assassin like no other, a story of Zero-a legend in the making.
