Capítulo 4: Chapter 4

Syd knew it was risky to forcefully deploy the Dark Particles to destroy the mutant controller in an instant while the device's reaction was slow, then escape along the route he had observed during the day.

This could be dangerous, possibly resulting in capture, punishment, experimentation, and eventual death.

He had considered laying low for a while, gathering strength before destroying the research facility.

But staying could mean dying even sooner. He felt an imminent second experiment looming, which would put his body...

With only eighty-three days left of his lifespan displayed on the panel, Syd's expression darkened.

Dying by staying or possibly surviving by escaping—the choice was obvious, even to a fool. At that moment, he noticed something that made him pause.

Just now, using Dark Particles had slightly replenished his energy, something he hadn't observed without actively consuming energy before.

"Could it be from absorbing moonlight?" Syd speculated.

It seemed moonlight could indeed be absorbed, providing another source of energy points. With this thought, he shifted his position to expose himself more directly to the moonlight.

After nearly half an hour without hearing any "Light Energy +1" notifications, but feeling his internal energy continuously recovering, he mused, "It seems I can't collect light energy until my internal energy is fully replenished."

"Does the light energy prioritize my bodily needs first?"

Additionally, he noticed a peculiar thing; the total amount of light energy he could store seemed to have surpassed the previous limit. He guessed this was due to unlocking two new abilities, Dark Particles and Rebound Shield.

Previously, using Dark Particles consumed about one-tenth of his internal energy, meaning he could use the ability up to ten times. He had worried about running out of energy for using his abilities, but that concern seemed unnecessary now.

As more abilities unlocked, the energy stored in his body would increase, allowing for more frequent use. With everything figured out, despite the pain, Syd forcibly moved his bed into a position where the moonlight could reach him and lay down to rest.

"Wonder what ability I'll unlock tomorrow?"

With thoughts of anticipation and curiosity, he ignored the noise from other cells and quickly fell asleep.

The next day.

Syd was woken by a series of notifications as the sun rose.

[Light Energy +1]

[Light Energy +1]

He opened his eyes and focused on the panel.

[Name: Syd Castell]

[Age: 16 (Remaining Lifespan: 82 days)]

[Mutant Abilities: Mimicry, Energy Absorption]

[Current Mimic Target: Orochi (Title: Sun God, Will of the Earth)]

(Unlock Progress 23%)

[Abilities: Dark Particles (1/100) Level 1, Rebound Shield (0/100) Level 1 (Unlocked)]

[Energy Points: 44]

Seeing the number of energy points, Syd wasn't surprised.

The effects of moonlight were weak, and considering the movement of the moon, absorbing this much was already fortunate.

He first tried to add energy points to the experience bar of Dark Particles, but was disappointed when nothing happened.

"It seems that's not possible."

Feeling a bit regretful, he then focused on the unlock progress.

As the energy points reset to zero, the progress bar moved to 24%.

After a slight disappointment, he continued to wait.

Time passed...

[Light Energy +1]

[Light Energy +1]

[Light Energy +1]

After absorbing energy for a while, just as he was losing track of time, a familiar set of footsteps approached.

With a clang, a tray emitting a stale smell and a bowl of soup with a faint odor were placed on the ground.

Frowning at the soup, his gaze turned indifferent towards the white man, Gill, who smirked mockingly at him and leisurely turned away.

Syd held back for a moment, nearly releasing a Dark Particle to send the man away.

"Soon..." he murmured to himself.

Shortly after, as the energy points reset to zero, the unlock progress suddenly jumped.

[Unlock Progress 26%]

A notification sound followed.

[Ability: Spatial Transfer (Unlocked)]

Hearing the notification, Syd's mood lifted remarkably.

"Spatial Transfer, finally!"

With this ability, he felt more confident about his planned escape. If he hadn't experimented with Dark Particles, knowing how pitifully weak level one abilities were, he might have wished to teleport directly outside the facility right then.

After sensing he could only teleport about two meters, he felt it was somewhat underwhelming.

"Still, better to have it than not. It'll be useful for passing through walls and dodging attacks."

Soon, he noticed the upper limit of his stored light energy had increased slightly, enough for about thirteen uses of Dark Particles.

"That should be enough!"

Syd looked forward to the night's escape.

Time quickly passed.

As Syd absorbed light energy, he took the opportunity during yard time to check the escape route.

Soon, it was 7 PM, and the unlock progress had reached 34%. As he planned to escape between 11 PM and midnight, an unexpected event occurred.

The familiar footsteps sounded again—it was Gill!

What was this man doing here?

Watching Gill prepare to open the cell door, Syd frowned.

"Come out, we're going to the lab."

Gill's gaze was filled with malice and a hint of pity, as if looking at something pitiful.

Syd's heart sank, sensing what was coming.

This familiar procedure meant they were probably planning to take his life!

Taking a deep breath, he restrained his urge to react.

Not yet, he couldn't make a move now...

Quickly, he devised a plan.

The lab was closer to the main exit, and he could potentially take out the experimenters and seize some key cards. He had noticed during the day that several doors required a card to open.

Although he now had Spatial Transfer, he needed to conserve as much energy as possible, not knowing what might come next.

Deciding, he pretended to comply and walked out of the cell, then consciously towards the lab.

Watching his compliance, Gill sneered even more, looking down on the "freak" before him.

Indeed, mutants were nothing but trash!

After passing through several doors, they arrived at the experimental area.

Capítulo 5: Chapter 5

[P@treon will have till Chapter 30 and after that it will stop for awhile so I can upload the next fanfic and then we will make a poll to choose what will I pick]

[The poll will be free on P@treon, so everyone can participate.]

[The poll date will be around the end of next week (not decided yet)]

(And yes I'm aware this works has been mtl here)

As soon as he arrived, Syd Castell's gaze was drawn to a scene within a glass partition not far away.

A mutant, neck encircled by a control collar, was strapped to an operating table, undergoing a gruesome procedure. Organs were being removed, one by one.

Seeing this, Syd's face darkened.

Noticing his reaction, Gill, with an indifferent face, scoffed, "That one's about to die. This is just recycling waste."

He then turned his malicious gaze on Syd, "Don't worry, you'll soon be like him. He won't be alone; you'll join him."

"Ha ha…"

Gill laughed heartily, his voice filled with a brutal delight, showing his deep hatred for mutants.

Just then, footsteps approached, and a group of researchers in white coats walked over.

The lead middle-aged researcher examined Syd, noting his dark brown hair, pale complexion, and striking blue eyes.

"Is this Subject Thirty-Seven?" he asked blandly, glancing down at a stack of papers in his hand.

"Yes, it's this guy," Gill confirmed from behind Syd, then suddenly pushed him towards the researchers.

Unexpectedly, the supposed docile mutant dodged his hand.

"Hmm?"

"Daring to dodge?"

Surprised and irritated, Gill reached out to grab Syd, who evaded again.

The lead researcher, momentarily disgusted, frowned slightly, "Subject Thirty-Seven, what are you trying to do? I advise you not to resist, or else…"

He didn't believe the youth wearing the mutant controller could do much, but such defiance was a hassle and a waste of his experimental time.

"Kid, you're in for it now!"

Gill sneered viciously, his eyes flashing cruelly, ready to teach this defiant mutant a harsh lesson.

The nearby researchers all looked on eagerly; they were used to seeing such spectacles. Mutants always seemed to struggle futilely in the end.

They expected no different this time, all watching with anticipation.

But before they could see Gill overpower the youth, the seemingly docile young man calmly stated, "You're the ones who will suffer."

What?

Before anyone could react, Syd swiftly raised his right hand and aimed precisely at the core of the mutant controller.

[Dark Particle Experience +1]

A precise stream of Dark Particles shot from his finger, devouring the core of the mutant controller amidst the shocked expressions of the onlookers.

With a squelch, the adjacent metal wall was punctured, and the mutant controller was torn off.

"What?"

"Oh, my God!"

Shock and then panic filled Gill and the others.

"Stop!"

"What are you doing?!"

Both Gill and the middle-aged researcher were no longer composed, their faces filled with panic.

"I'm going to make you experience death, you scum."

Filled with murderous intent, Syd first pointed at Gill, then at the researcher.

[Dark Particle Experience +1]

[Dark Particle Experience +1]

Two streams of black particles shot out with a speed beyond human reaction, hitting both targets in succession.

"Aah…"

Screams echoed as the burly white man, Gill, clutched his pierced chest, his face a mix of panic and horror.

Then more screams; another particle struck both the middle-aged researcher and another person behind him.

Screams filled the air, and the remaining three researchers scrambled to escape, the experimental area quickly descending into chaos.

"It's impossible, how can you have such mutant abilities!"

Gill's face was covered in terror and confusion, and the researcher on the ground shared his disbelief.

They remembered Subject Thirty-Seven as a useless mutant, only capable of absorbing sunlight.

When did he acquire the ability to emit high-energy beams?

As another aimed at his head, Gill stammered in terror, "Don't do it…"

Syd stepped on his face, grinding down, and asked with a smirk, "Weren't you acting tough before?"

"I…" Gill was furious, teeth clenched in hatred but forced to beg, "Don't kill…"

Before he could finish his plea, the black particle wave hit his head.

[Dark Particle Experience +1]

With a squelch, the large man was instantly killed, his nostrils oozing vile fluid.

Syd felt a surge of relief from his depression, but there was no time to dwell on it. He needed to escape quickly.

He ran over to the fallen middle-aged researcher and began searching him.

"What are you doing?!" Yassen exclaimed in terror.

Syd ignored him, quickly taking his ID card, then paused.

A familiar notification sounded in his ear.

[You notice several documents scattered on the ground, seeming to contain some information about you…]

Glancing briefly, he was shocked by what he saw.

Subject Thirty-Seven, a failed genetic experiment using genes from 'Magneto, Max Eisenhardt' and 'Professor X, Charles Francis Xavier', delivered to a foster home years ago...

Reading the information, even Syd couldn't hide his shock.

What did this mean?

Was he a product of genetic manipulation using genes from Magneto and Professor X?

In some sense, could he be considered a child of Magneto and Professor X?!

Syd was utterly stunned, overwhelmed by the revelation.

Is this some sort of incredible Marvel technology?

With no time to dwell on the shock, as alarms blared throughout the facility, he quickly grabbed the ID card and the papers and ran towards the metal exit.

As for the middle-aged researcher and the other injured researcher lying on the ground, he did not continue his assault.

The wounds inflicted by his Dark Particles were severe—not mere gunshot wounds, but actual disappearances of flesh.

The ongoing blood loss and missing organs were enough to ensure they would suffer a slow, painful death.
