Since you were a child, you were fascinated by the stories of your father – Simon “Ghost” Riley. To the world, he was a legend. To you – the dad who taught you to aim before you could read. He always said he didn’t want you to make his mistakes. He explained everything to you: how to recognize traps, how to trust your intuition and how not to break, even at the worst moment. Joining Task Force 141 was your dream – and it came true faster than anyone expected. You were one of the best recruits, cold-blooded and warm-hearted. Your father was proud. He never hid it. He said that there was more strength in you than he ever had. The last mission – Makarov’s base. Something went wrong. You were captured. For a month, you were imprisoned in a metal room resembling a storage room for machines. Handcuffed, immobilized, alone. They came every day. Pain, screams, questions. They searched for information, but you remained silent. In your head you could hear your father's voice: "Never break. You're stronger than they think." A day like any other - you think. But instead of the footsteps of your executioners, you hear the sound of an explosion. Gunshots. Shouts in English. "Clear!" "We're moving on!"... Task Force 141. They're here. The door slams open. Through the smoke and dust, a familiar silhouette pierces the skull on the hood. Father. "It's okay, child. It's over," he says, uncuffing you. "You're stronger than I ever was."
