Multi-Gene

Reincarnation

Groaning, David lifted his body up from the cold glass tube feeling groggy and dizzy.

He could hear a ringing sound in his brain, it felt as it he had been hit by a hammer.

He couldn't think properly for a while, then suddenly, memory pieces he couldn't fathom flashed through his mind increasing the pain he felt.

It was like he was watching a crackedovie of someone else's llife. Not comprehending what they were Dav did what he does the best whenever he encountered something troublesome.

"let it be... Its very tiring trying to think."

Dav muttered. Sighing to himself he observed his surroundings to determine where he was, when...

"Eh? what's all this about?" Confused, Dav observed that he was in an underground laboratory, with countless numbers youths, both males and females no older than 16 years of age or younger than 16 years of age.

Their backs facing him, standing in a straight line side by side not moving a muscle

But amidst them, was a space meant for someone which was directly in front of him.

Not much thinking was needed to know that the space was meant for him but then, he realized something was wrong with the scene.

He cast a confused glance at the group

again and again then as if he thought of something he look down at himself and abruptly screamed.

"..." David inhaled sharply as he couldn't help but gasp. It was a normal thing to gasp in a normal environment but before the solemn atmosphere present in the underground Lab, it was almost no different from shouting.

The gasp tore through the solemn atmosphere like a sharp sword.

The groups of youths couldn't help but turn their heads towards his

location, glaring at him for daring to taint the sacred atmosphere.

Embarrassed, he quietened down quickly, moving forward to his position while blushing in shame and nervousness.

Coughing quietly to get rid of the awkward atmosphere.

Dav stood in his position, motionless similar to his peers.

Even though its an underground laboratory, the space it contained was enormous and sufficient to accommodate the thousands of people.

Clap clap clap!

A series of claps got Dav's and the other students attention.

A neat, straight and fit young man dressed in a casual outfit with an average face in his late twenties walked together with a group of scientists behind him.

Letting down his hands.

"My name is Mu Chen." Mu Chen said in a deep voice. "I guess I should congratulate each and everyone of you for surviving this round. Of the 1200 people in your group, 308 of them failed the implantation of the catalyst and that's considered very good considering the amount of failures we have had in the past..."

While Mu Chen was talking, Dav was Intently observing his surroundings curiously.

He noticed that the teens in the laboratory were of different races, black, white, brown etc. Since they were especially selected from different survivor Strongholds stationed in various sectors since the population of 15 - 16 years old kids, in the stronghold are much in numbers, although 15 - 16 years old kids are in abundance.

Some parents or guardians won't release their children just to court death because if the implantation fails, they will die and even if they pass, they still have to face life and death situations before they grow in strength at a regular speed... while some bet on the slim chances that when the kids become stronger, they could lead a good life.

The only advantage the rich have the poor is that they could pay a huge sum of money to the government to scan the probability of the child surviving the implantation.

But the implant is only successful with a catalyst. Without a catalyst, the implant would fail without a doubt and the subject genes and DNA will collapse, eventually leading to an inevitable death.

Owing to the threats confronting humanity, the government decided not to holdback on any newly developed catalysts, making them accessible to both the wealthy families and those families with nothing to their name.

The first Manufactured catalyst AA-00 was an earthshaking achievement produced a few.centuries ago constructed by a group of genetic engineers with the generic materials gotten from the government through the blood and sweat of soldiers fighting the Evolved lifeforms.

Moreover, the materials weren't easy to gather since the corpses and organsof RAPIDLY EVOLVED BEINGS (REB's) were difficult to collect.

Moreover killing a single REB's was not an easy feat as it involves several dozens of well equipped soldiers with heavy fire arms and cold arms just to shoot down one of those monsters slowly grinding them to death.

The first Test subjects experimented on by the government were the death sentence prisoners, that had committed heinous.crimes.

The result was.very disappointing considering the amount of prisoners being experimented on, not a single one of them survived the experimental process as the genetic load was too much for the human body's gene pool resulting to either genetic breakdown which is a small predicament that could be solved with genetic therapy or a big problem resulting to either mutations or death. Due to that reason, the catalyst implantation failed.

But then genetic engineers around the world came together forming the 'Generic Association'.

After several years of genetic coding, dismantling and experiments, a scout of the government suddenly found an unregistered underground laboratory at the border guarding and dividing the territories of humans and the rapidly evolved beings.

The laboratory was small but there were about 30 humans, connected to different kind and types of tubes stuck into their mouths and bodies lying on a set of tables with locks tying them down..It was a chilling sight.

But when the group of soldiers were stunned by the sight, a fast moving figure began killing off the soldiers one by one. its speed was very fast, not giving the squad a chanve to retaliate but after the whole squad of soldiers were almost wiped out without even injuring.the figure, the captain, an extremely brave man was seen pulling the pins of dozens of grenades attempting to die with the creature.

After that was nothing, by the time the reinforcements got there, the humanoid was gone.

But the humanoid face was captured by the combat cam built with the military suit.

Most of the things in the lab was seemingly destroyed by the grenades together with the humanoid. There was nothing to extract in there but luckily only one tube containing an unknown liquid was found under the body of a veteran soldier.

He was acclaimed to be the savior of humanity and according to the president of the Generic Association, 'the captain blasted humanity's hope at surviving but a single soldier saved it with his body'

The Generic Association were completely oblivious to the fact that the man with his experience of many years as a soldier, he comprehended that an unknown enemy is the most frightening.

You either have to take cover somewhere or retreat back to safe zone, the veteran was just running to take cover from the monster not even thinking about saving nothing when he was abruptly blasted from the back.

Therefore, owing to the explosion of the grenades, the kinetic energy forced him forward directly on top of the serum unknowingly protecting it from the scorching heat of the blasts

The unknown liquid was used as a reference to building upgrading and improving catalyst AA-00 to TY-13 throughout the years.
