One of the people present in the room, a little frightened, asked the doctor why he was treating the boy that way. The doctor responded with a cold smile: “It’s good that you ask. I’m doing it to activate the hidden power lying within him.”He began explaining while pressing additional buttons. A blue liquid started dripping onto Aiden, sliding slowly over his skin like oil.“You see,” the doctor continued in a calm but firm voice, “this boy appears to be the son of one of our previous experiments. Blood tests and preliminary analysis confirm it. We had to halt those experiments because we were being investigated. A reporter stuck her nose where it didn’t belong, but we managed to resolve the issue,” he added coldly, without a trace of remorse in his tone.The project was called Project Nebula. Its purpose was to combine humans with phenomena beyond our comprehension in order to prepare for potential external threats, granting subjects unique abilities. However, there were setbacks:

The three entered the dark cave, cautiously advancing along a path that soon forked. They wouldn’t separate, as Eliot thought that in movies, everyone dies if they do. While the agent hesitated about which path to take, one of his companions accidentally stepped on a hidden alarm in the cave.The artificial intelligence at the base of the black alien transmitted brain waves to its master, informing him that the creatures sent had been exterminated. This triggered a mental roar filled with fury from the creature inside the capsule. Surprised by how such a defeat was possible, he decided to intervene personally. However, the artificial intelligence named Xen reminded him that he had not yet fully recovered, being only at thirty percent due to the mortal wounds inflicted earlier. “Damn subject!” he shouted in his mind, consumed by rage. “Then send out the second group,” he ordered, to which Xen nodded, though adding, “Sir, there are intruders in the cave, and they are not forest animals

Marie’s team arrived in the town of Arnoldstein. They got out of their vehicles and began asking people if they had seen the boy from the image on the tablet. The locals paid them little attention, as they were busy preparing for the annual festival taking place that very day. Everyone was occupied finishing their harvests for the contest, decorating the town, setting up the stage, organizing the band, selecting the music, and preparing the animals, among other things.Marie instructed Lidia and Rino to take the right path to ask around, while she and the others would take the left. They split up, and each group set off in search of the boy.Frustrated because no one was paying attention, especially Rino, they sat for a while by one of the fountains in the center. Lidia was looking at her tablet with a smile, chatting with Tecro, the forensic artist she had met at the police station in Styria. They had been texting throughout the entire journey to get there. Apparently, neither his te

Already on the way, the kids were awestruck because it was their first time traveling through the air and also their first time leaving since they had been at the orphanage. When they were in the car, they could only look inside it to avoid being spotted by Lidia and Rino. But this time, they were included as part of the crew, thanks to Mr. Eduard. The ship began to vanish into thin air once they crossed the border, thanks to its camouflage.Inside the ship, Lidia, Rino, and the two children were asking Eduard questions about how he had ended up in that situation because of Agent B. Eduard simply looked at them with a serious expression until he commented that it was the result of a fight with some house protectors, extremely strong individuals. Ezequiel, lost in thought, wondered what those individuals were made of. He didn’t want to ask Eduard anything, but it seemed as if Eduard had read his mind, because he began explaining to everyone that those individuals were constructed with

Aiden opened his eyes and saw a blurry figure approaching as he rubbed his eyes with his hands. "Hello, I see you’re finally awake, boy. Aiden, that’s your name, right?" said a feminine voice."Where am I?" asked Aiden, looking at his clothes, which resembled hospital attire. The figure moved closer, revealing a middle-aged woman with a surprisingly youthful face."Hello again; it seems you didn’t hear me. You must be confused about where you are. My name is Doctor Brenda, Brenda Swang," she said with a smile. "You have such beautiful hair; I’ve always wanted it to be that long." She briefly digressed but returned to the matter at hand when she noticed Aiden’s bewildered expression."Well, Aiden, may I call you that?" The boy nodded. "You were selected by this person standing next to me." Aiden shifted to look at a man slightly shorter than himself. "This is Doctor Richard Laos, a magnate in his field and the one in charge of this experiment."Aiden’s face turned to panic as he wonder
