Chapter 1: Awaken

She opened her eyes to see the world in front of her that disgusted her. A faint disappointment lingered no longer than a minute instead of her. How could she have forgotten who she was and where she was. Her hazy mind slowly cleared as she realized where she was.The plain white room where all there was were technical devices, the constant beeping noise of those machines reminded her of the state she was in. Everything around her made her regret opening her eyes as she wished to have never opened them, wished to have slept longer.

Drowning inside of a huge glass tube she thought,"How long have I been like this, soaked in nutrients inside this glass tube?"

The glass tube was wide and tall enough to fit another four of those like her inside. It was just like those tubes used to preserve specimens in labs and she was being kept like a rare specimen.The liquid nutrient was for her body as a supplement to nurture her,to make sure she got everything she needed to keep her alive.

Her whole body was covered in bandages with no clothing,few strips of bandages floating in the nutrients. Each part of her body was connected with wires that she felt was drilling a deep hole inside of her. She could feel the energy fluctuating through those wires like the tides in the oceans, but of course they weren’t pretty like the tides,nothing was pretty in this hell hole of a place.

Especially….

That psychopath dressed in white who was standing in front of the glass tube staring at her holding a nasty grin on their face. How she wished to break through the glass wall that separated them and tear that grin off their face,tear every single part of them with her own hand.Anger flared inside of her as she thought,"I want….to see her breathe the last breath of her life. I….want to…break..free."

Suddenly a tingling sensation surged up inside of her, numbness followed with heart scattering pain feeling as if her skin was cut open and every nerve inside of her was forcefully taken out and thrown into a burning fire. 

Her mind scattered and all the feelings disappeared like it was never there. The disappointment,the anger,the haterade,the sadness,everything was gone leaving nothing behind except for the pain.

The grin of the psychopath standing outside became even wider,face screaming with satisfaction.

She looked at that psychopath silently with her light colored eyes which were like clouds in the sky but with no freedom. She stared into those disgusting eyes of that psychopath and suddenly grinned.

She closed her light colored eyes and thought,"So you found yet another way to control me."

……

He passed by multiple people in white as he walked down the hallway that he wished was longer, longer to the point where he would never reach the end. Those people in white greeted him but he turned a blind eye to them but he felt their stares,heard their gossips,saw the looks on their face as they whispered to one another.

"He is the one."

"Really, how could that be?"

"I wondered how professor Rin felt?"

Those words seemed like it never made it into his ears or maybe it did but he didn’t care as he reached the end of the hallway and stood in front of a huge iron door with a cold expression.

‘High Experimental lab’ was seen in bold red above the iron door and those words were like trash thrown out in the open that made him sick. He held back the urge to turn around and run away as far as he could from this place,this building.He pressed his finger prints on the lock pad and a blue light lit up from somewhere and scanned every part of him from the top to bottom. He looked at the door with no expression as it slowly opened.

The inside of the lab room was very big and spacious. There were multiple rooms on both sides of the lab and the inside of those rooms could be seen through a huge window. If you looked at the room on the right side you would be able to see that it held tiny embryos each with its own little compartment and if you turned your gaze on the left room you would be able to see that the room held fetuses of different stages soaked in nutrients and hooked with small pipes. Those in white could be seen checking the process and the conditions keeping a report of it. Various technical devices were on standby displaying the live data of the process.

Ignoring the chaos and the mess around him he walked ahead slowly making his way to the deepest part of the lab. He saw the man who was wearing a white lab coat looking at a mechanical report floating in front of him. The man was old of an age where he could be considered dead but age seemed to never hit him as his appearance was that of a 27 year old. His pure black hair and gray eyes paired with a monocle on his right eye gave him a clean and noble look. He sensed someone’s presence and looked up from the mechanical report. Seeing the opposite party he gave a gentle smile and spoke.

"You’re here,Axl"

Axl with an indifference expression nodded,"Father."

They both looked at each other and there seemed to be some awkwardness between them but the man didn't seem to mind it at all as he held his gentle smile. 

"Professor Rin, Subject 121 has woken up", a woman's voice rang out perfectly, saving the awkward atmosphere they had.

Axl’s father, Professor Rin’s eyes lit up at that sentence as he quickly walked in front of a platform. Axl followed his gaze and there he saw a young youth with beauty that seemed to be out of this world. His fair pale skin with light blue hair,the youth’s whole presence was a little blinding for Axl. The beautiful youth slowly opened his eyes and his light green emerald eyes directly met with Axl’s black obsidian eyes.

Axl’s already black eyes turned even more dark as he seemed to have figured out the reason why he was called here today. He averted his gaze from those green emerald eyes,not letting any of his emotions show on his face as he cursed at the old man in his heart.

"How is his response?" Professor Rin asked.

The woman with her hair in a bun holding a mechanical report replied,"His vitals are showing no abnormalities and his brain waves are balanced as of right now. His dopamine level is a little high which is probably due to his curiosity."

"That’s great",Professor Rin nodded with satisfaction as he turned to look at Axl.

"Axl, this is your gift.Do you like it?"

"Do I like it?" Axl sneered in his heart. He thought of how he would never like a thing like that. He even wished he would never come across a thing like that but his wish remained a wish as he saw that thing today.

He looked at that thing he hated the most and saw that thing was looking at him with its green emerald eyes as if it was looking at its prey. Axl felt his whole self being exposed to a beast as the beast studied him like how they would study their prey. Axl’s heart trembled a little but he showed no emotions on his face. He dared not to look at those emerald like eyes even for more than a second and downcasted his gaze.

"This is subject 121."

"He will be your power, your shield and your weapon from now on." Professor Rin said as he looked at Axl.

Axl stared at the old man with an icy gaze and said,"I don’t want him."

The atmosphere filled with silence as the father and son duo stared at each other. Professor Rin sighed and spoke.

"Axl I know you don’t want him but you need him."

"...."

"You know your situation. You….were born without power….anyways the world right now is chaotic. You need someone to protect you and he is the one I’ve been working on for years." Professor Rin said, trying to hide his disappointment in his words with a gentle smile on his face.

Axl could feel the disappointment even if the old man tried his best to hide it. His expression turned colder than ever as he listened to the old man’s explanation and thought,

"You have no right to be disappointed."

Professor Rin without waiting for Axl’s response continued,"He is the second best creation we have worked on and a successful one as well. We haven’t named him yet, you can choose a name for him. He will be by your side from now on. Although he is a successful creation and all that needed to be done has been done he still needs to come here once in a while for a checkup. If you feel like something is wrong with him, bring him here."

Axl with his dark eyes looked at the old man and said,"That thing itself is bound to have no good ending. Even I, without power, might be able to live longer than him and you expect him to protect me?"

Professor Rin looked helplessly as he opened his mouth and closed it again. He seemed to be finding the right words to say, but Axl knew his gaze wasn’t that of a father looking at his stubborn child but more of a scientist looking at an experiment gone wrong.

It took professor Rin a long time to speak again."Axl, I understand what you mean but all that happened in the past has its own reasons. Subject 121 is different. We have made adjustments from our mistakes. You don’t have to worry about it."

Worry my ass.

Axl, having had enough, turned without a word and headed to the lab door as quickly as he could. As he walked away he heard the old man say something followed by a short reply. He didn’t wait any longer and left the palace hoping he could never come back.

……

This world was a chaotic mess.

Only 7% of the population being normal human beings, 43% of the population being those who have mixed genes of both human and animal and the rest being wild hungry beasts.

The living were hungry for power. 

Except for normal humans the rest of the living creatures were born with powers. The more powerful you are, the easier it was to live in this world. How powerful one was could be figured out through ranking. The power level was divided into five ranks:D,C,B,A and S. S being the highest and D being the lowest. Although one could cultivate their power from low rank to high rank it was a difficult process, so those who jumped from low rank to high rank were rarely seen.

All those who were born with powers also possessed a certain special ability of their own. Those special abilities varied from person to person. If one had the ability of healing then the other would have the ability of invisibility but each only possessed one special ability. The special ability they had was their advantage since each had a different special ability.

The 43% of the population who possessed genes of both human and animal had three forms: a normal human form, half human and half animal form and an animal form. Some had genes of one animal whereas others had mixed genes of multiple animals.

Although they had power they were not powerful enough in front of those wild hungry beasts.As the living began to fight for their life with those wild hungry beasts they began to struggle for more power. As the beasts grew bigger in number fear began to rise up for the rest. Safety bases were built to live away from those beasts. Among those bases, base A12 was the largest base, residing more than ten thousand living creatures especially those who were powerful.
