The teenager is relatively unassuming, as he's not the most popular student, nor the hardest working. The kids call him \"Nil,\" suggesting that he's a loser. But he has another name, the \"biggest cheat,\" which he's earned from using cheat codes and hacks in everything from games to grades.

The little orange character has his own personality and gets Nilay and his father into all sorts of trouble. That's not all--the device itself \u003cb\u003ebelongs to a super-secret group of people who can summon similar video game avatars called Ghosts\u003c\/b\u003e to battle over money, territory, and power. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Now that Nilay has it, he has officially become a \"player\" like them who can summon his own Ghost in Vyper Neo--and that's made other players very angry. \u003cb\u003eCan this lackluster teenager survive long enough to learn where his mother is and why she sent this device?\u003c\/b\u003e Vyper Neo and his only human buddy, Chess, have his back, but taking on this massive new world won't be easy.
