315 Monstrous Being
The sound of buttons being tapped continuously could be heard in the enclosed laboratory.
A man with dark heavy eye bags stood in front of a machine which has a bottle of blood inside. The machine exuded a blinking light and beep every second.
‘I can do this. I’m already familiar with the formula. Hahaha, Fein would be surprised if succeeded with this configuration without him.’ Brick Norty laughed as he thought about how he would brag later.
He didn’t take Fein’s warning seriously, as he was confident with his scientific capabilities. Now Brick Norty was trying to make the perfect gene serum compatible with his body.
Brick refocused on the dark green substance under the microscope on the table. He was currently analyzing every component of the perfect gene serum and his blood.
‘Hmmm... I need to adjust the red blood cells and the concentration of dark matter in the formula a little.’ Brick Norty, with his lab coat, looks like a mad scientist. Furthermore, his transparent glasses and messy hair didn’t make it better.
Just like that, he worked for eight hours straight, trying to experiment. If the dark green substance didn’t react to his blood, then it just means that it was successful. Because if the dark green substance reacted, it just means that rejection occurred.
After all, the immune system is designed to counter or fight any foreign substance that enters the body, and the perfect gene serum is just like that. A foreign substance that has a drastic effect on the body.
People have different blood types and gene processes happening in their bodies. That’s why a perfect gene serum could work on one person but transform another person into a monster. It actually works in Fein and Brick’s favor.
.....
They didn’t need to guard the formula of the perfect gene serum because it’s ever-changing and requires changes for different persons who want to use it. Transforming into a perfect organism isn’t that easy.
...
BEEP!
The next day, Brick woke up. He raised his hand and slammed the noise alarm clock beside his head. He stood up from the soft white bed and stretched his stiff body parts.
Brick yawned for two seconds and stared dazedly at the empty space.
After a few moments, the sequela brought by waking up gradually faded. He rubbed his eyes for a moment before he walked towards the sink, which has a mirror in front.
He stared at his reflection before sighing. His face was so pale that he looked like a vampire. He lost quite a lot of muscle massas result of living a sedentary life, and he appeared quite thinner than before and his cheekbones bulged as a consequence.
Brick Norty swept his eyes to the room where he stayed for the past few months. It has a minimalistic style, as its purpose is only for rest.
A white bed with soft material, metal flooring, white walls with LED lights, and all sorts of books displayed, mainly about human and animal biology and chemistry that Fein and Brick could browse if they forgot some piece of knowledge they need for their experiment.
After he took care of the things he need to do such as taking a bath and eating breakfast. He went straight to the Laboratory which has a plain and monotonous atmosphere. ‘It’s another day for an experiment.’
Brick picked up the experimental materials strewn on the ground and started mixing his blood sample and the dark green substance.
He looked intently at it... After a few minutes of seeing no reaction. A wide grin finally appeared on his face.
“Hahaha! Finally success!”
It only took him two days to succeed with the configuration. Brick Norty couldn’t help but feel proud of his genius.
Brick clenched his fist in excitement and started to transfer the dark green substance to the potion glass, then took out a syringe with a long needle.
Then walked to the cabin and lay down. He connected the cables to the veins in different parts of his body.
‘Should I inject it now?’ A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
After all, what he was about to do could certainly bring his destruction and caused an uncontrollable mutation. ‘Well, it’s now or never!’
A light determination appeared in Brick’s pupils. Since he had already taken this step. Then he would follow it until the end! He still has confidence in his intelligence. And since the serum didn’t react with his blood, the risk wasn’t too high.
Brick aimed the needles in the veins on his shoulder and pushed. A prickling sensation woke him up. It was as if a large ant had bitten him.
Suddenly, an intense blue light emerged from the cabin. Brick felt a severe headache, and it made him lose consciousness.
His will wasn’t as strong as Fein, who had a talent for it and was a strong degu user himself who had struggled in his path for power. His will was tempered time and time again. He even tortured himself just to increase his electricity and poison resistance.
Brick’s body shook continuously, like someone who was experiencing epilepsy. His skin turned from purple to black and tentacles that were made of his flesh emerged from his back uncontrollably.
Brick was on his mind space. A large space inside his consciousness. Inside, Brick tilted his head left and right. His eyes shook as he saw a humanoid monster covered in black tentacles in front of him, and a strange gray fog concealed his face.
Brick felt that a huge amount of information flooded his head. He felt that his mind was overwhelmed and was about to explode.
He couldn’t fight it. Brick’s soul shivered and exploded into fragments. Then the tentacles of the monster extended and pulled out the soul fragments.
The sound of burping echoed into the mind-space as the strange monster feasted on Brick Norty’s soul.
On the Cabin, as the monster devoured Brick Norty’s soul. His eyes opened wide, blood filled his pupils, and the whites in his eyes turned yellow.
In his mouth, green mucus started to come out and his fingers grew eighteen centimeters long. What’s more terrifying was multiple eyeballs started to appear on the surface of his skin like a spider. Lastly, his body grew five meters more.
Roar!
A growl escaped from his mouth that didn’t sound human in the slightest. And it might even make a person with a weak heart feint.
