"..." "That... that's good. Hmn... hmn.. Okay, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your mouth." Katarina's curious hums whispered through her clinic; the sound of her gloves, slapping in the air as she took them off after checking the color of Kyle's tongue. Kyle was currently scated topless on a stool; his body, being professionally checked by Katarina. Some changes, however, are less noticeable than others; some are even unnoticeable. Once the biood of a god that had remained dormant inside one's body awakens, there would usually be a slight change in one's body-increased muscle mass, a change of color, bone density, etc. "Do you see anything differently now? What did you say you were feeling again?" "Besides your eyes, I don't see anything different." Katarina then carefully placed the gloves that were wet with Kyle's saliva on the clean steel plate on the table beside her, "Nausea." Kyle sighed, "It feels like my body is being left behind and I am sensitive to everything around me, it's. making me want to puke whenever l move." "Sensitive how?" Katarina adjusted her glasses as she looked Kyle in the eyes, "It might just be a side-effect of the gravity shift." "l..can hear your heart beating, Dr. Lopez." "Wh- Katarina was about to raise her voice, but she saw a smile crawl on Kyle's face, causing her to stop her puffing chest. Kyle, throughout his six years of coming and going inside the clinic, has never smiled even once. Maybe even he himself didn't realize he was smiling...but for his first smile to be somewhat cheeky and a little teasing, it made Katarina think of what kind of cheerful person he could have been. "Seriously?" And so, Katarina could really only sigh as she shook her head, "Like how?" "Like this." And without even any slight pause, Kyle suddenly swung and stretched his arm to the side. And as he opened his hand, a small baby fly fell from it. "Interesting... That increase in senses is too drastic for someone who just awakened." Katarina once again adjusted her glasses. But then, all of a sudden, her hand blurred. And when it cleared, it was already right in front of Kyle's face. "You.. saw that?" Katarina could not help but blink a couple of times as Kyle seemed to instinctively lean his head back. "W-No?" As for Kyle, he could really only take in a small gulp as he saw the fist in front of him. "But you avoided it.. interesting." Katarina hummed as she placed her hand on her chin; her breasts, being pinned as they seemed to be seconds away from bursting through her buttoned shirt. "Aren't you.. a doctor?" Kyle squinted his eyes. "You don't think you're the only one in the world that exercises, right?" Katarina said as a smirk crawled on her face. This smirk, however, quickly turned into a genuine smile as her eyes which were blocked by her glasses started to moist. "Congratulations, Kyle Anders," Katarina then sniffled as she tried to stop the tears from her eyes from falling, "You finally Awakened." "Th- "I want you to be even happier, Kyle. I want you to be happy." ..A douse of weight suddenly bombarded Kyle's body as soon as he heard the voice in his head-a feeling of warmth that was enough to drown him completely. Katarina's desire.. was for him to be happy? "W..what?" Katarina's voice slightly hummed as she saw Kyle suddenly pause, "Are you gonna cry too? Come on, let it out. We're the only ones here." Kyle, however, only took in a deep breath as he shook his head, "Can you not tell them?" "Hm?" "Can you not tell them that I awakened?" Kyle then said as his lethargic voice became even lazier, "Even if they register me, I'm still a Lowborn-I can't go into a Gate..!" "But.. I'm legally obligated to tell the government and the school, Kyle." Katarina let out a short but deep breath, before looking at Kyle and nodding her head, "But if that is what you want, then-- "No, never mind. You could lose your job if they find out, right?" Katarina did not really say anything and just nodded her head again, "Let's.. finish checking your body, then." "Hm." Kyle nodded as he relaxed his shoulders, "Can I ask you something, Dr, Lopez?" "Ask away." Katarina shrugged as she lifted Kyle's arm. "I know I can be difficult to deal with.." Kyle then turned to look at the hearts above Katarina's head. "..So, why are you helping me, really?" "Because I can," Katarina answered without any hesitation. "Because.. you can?" Kyle mumbled as he looked at the remaining two gray hearts. And right there and then, he decided that he will never fill the two, at the very least, not with intent. He will never use Katarina-she is basically the closest thing he has to a family other than his half sister. The three red hearts above her head were probably purely platonic. "You said you have the blood of Eros? I've never heard that name before." Katarina then said as she continued checking Kyle's other arm, "What about the other gods, you should know their names too." "I.. don't know." Kyle shook his head, "Their blood is probably too weak?" "That's... weird, everyone should know what blood they have." Katarina sighed as she finally just focused on checking Kyle's body. She had seen Kyle's body evolve throughout the years, and she still couldn't believe he managed to sculpt a silhouette as he has. One could even encase him in cement and put him inside the Altar of the Gods, and no one would know. He always seemed to have power-but now he has a real one. And for a person that has been beaten, abused, and humiliated his entire life... this was dangerous. "Kyle." Katarina then held Kyle's hand and placed it on her forehead, "Promise me..." "...Promise me that you won't do anything rash with this." "I.. won't." Kyle slightly paused as he answered, his Silver eyes, just staring at Katarina's face, "I know where I stand, Dr. Lopez-I'm still weak, But... with my increased reflexes, maybe this is the last time you'll be seeing me in the clinic." "..l hope this is the last time I see you in my clinic." Katarina softly chuckled as she repeated Kyle's words, "You're graduating soon too. I hope the next time see you, it will be outside." "We can see each other during the graduation," a smile also formed on Kyle's face, "You are practically my school mother now." "How dare-I'm just a few years older than you!" Katarina's eyes widened; the smile on her face, widening as she tightened her grip on Kyle's hand. "!!!" However, as soon as she did so... several white, sticky strings of something suddenly shot out from Kyle's fingers.. ..and onto her face. "W.. what is this?"

"Kyle , what... is this sticky stuff?" Both Kyle and Katherine could really only stare at each other as some sort of white, sticky fluid now bridged his finger and Katherine's face. Kyle's silver eyes, completely blank as several thoughts entered his mind. Katherine also couldn't move, the only thing she could do was just hold Kyle's thick arm. "Wh-Heh?" And right when she finally decided to move, her face was once again showered by the white sticky fluid coming out of Kyle's fingers. If she wasn't wearing a pair of glasses, then her eyes would have surely been also covered by the sticky fluid. "Perhaps... you should let go of my arm, Dr. Halsey?" Kyle's thoughts finally stopped as he looked at his hand. "That's.. probably a good idea," a small awkward chuckle escaped Katherine's lips; her words muffled as she didn't really want the sticky white fluid to enter her mouth. But as she let go of Kyle's arm and started pulling away, a small wince whispered in the air. "A..ow...
Awakened Chapter 14: The PIU Incident
"Can you wait here for a while?" "...Okay" Without allowing him to rest, the people from the PIU, Portal Investigations Unit, brought and escorted Kyle to the city's local precinct; making him wait in front of a door that no one truly ever wanted to see in their lives. They did not even allow him to wear his hoodie, making him feel slightly vulnerable from all the surveillance cameras littered around the building. The local police didn't seem to heed him any mind, however, as they were also busy dealing with the aftermath of the Portals inside their city-something that never should have happened in the first place. Throughout the thousand years since humans have battled the monsters from the Underworld, they have learned to prevent and block them from coming up to the Surface by using a special resource from the Underworld itself, and some human engineering. This resource is limited, however. And the places that have bcen covered with this material in the past, in time, b

"Where... are you taking me?" "Did you really think we would fucking beat you up next to the police station!?" "..Right" Kyle was now inside a car, with Bob in the driver's seat while two of his friends accompanied Kyle at the back. He initially thought they were just going to drag him into a dark alley like they usually do, but no. They took him to a parking lot and pushed him inside a car. They have been driving around the city for almost an hour now-were they trying to find a spot to finally get rid of him? He wanted to test his abilities so he willingly let himself be dragged away.. but could he actually be dying here? Kyle then subtly turned to look at the thugs on each of his sides; the two of them, gripping his wrist and pinning him to the seat. If Kyle contracted the muscles on his arms right now, will webs shoot out of his fingers? And if it does, won't Bob and the others panic-ceasing them to crash and die? Kyle was fully aware of their strength as they have bee
Awakened Chapter 16: Revenge Or Justice? {Pt 2}
Kyle was completely dazed. His mind, fleeting in and out of consciousness as he tried to keep himself on his feet- he was used to this feeling, after all. For years, without stop, all he had known was pain. And throughout the years, he realized that he wasn't in pain because he was weak; he wasn't in pain because of his face; he wasn't in pain because he was a Lowborn. He was in pain because there are people out there who like inflicting it on other people, it just made it easier to hurt him because he was weak. Rex, as well as the three in front of him right now were some of those people. When Kyle was completely traumatized by the murder of his mother, he instinctively chose to just stick to himself from then on. Even as the gowernment threw him into Necrus High, he remained completcly stoic; his entire person, hidden from the world.. literally. But then, one time, Rex saw his face. And that was it. That was the entire reason why he has been bullied for 6 straight years
Awakened Chapter 17: A Weary Night
"They're still alive." "Oh. Kyle was now seated on the floor. His back, against the wall as the blood that drowned his entire silhouette started to dry up, "l... do not really know what to feel about that, Dr. Halsey." "Kyle, this..." Katherine could really only place her hand on her waist as she stared at Kyle; her breaths, slightly stuttered as several thoughts also circled in her mind-but for some reason, one prevails the most. "Look.." Katherine then started wearing a pair of gloves she had in her pocket, "I took the oath of Asclepius, I am obligated to save lives and do no harm intentionally." "..but if you wish to end them, I won't stop you." "..." Kyle quickly turned to look at Katherine as soon as she heard her words, only to see her eyes staring straight at his. "But there will be consequences to that, but I am willing to go down with you," Katherine said without breaking eye contact, "l can heal them right here, right now. But there wil also be consequences to

"Are you sure we're allowed here?" "..Yes." "Feels like we're breaking the rules, Kinda makes you nervous, no?" "You weren't allowed to bring people in your dorms, Ms. Samantha?" "Just call me Sam, and no-I have never been. I was in the Hunter Academy, but that's not really a school. By the way, is.. ...this all you have? Did you just move here or something?" Even with Samantha's presence adding to Kyle's room, it still felt completely bleak and empty. Throughout his six years in Necrus City High, this was probably the first time that someone else was inside his room-and an outsider, at that. Kyle wasn't really actually aware of the dorm rules. Even though he had lived here for years, he didn't consider it a home , it was just a place to sleep and whittle his time away, four walls and a roof. No, throughout his isolation, the only thing he considered his home was his sister.. was. "Yes.." Kyle's lazy and somewhat smooth breath whispered in the corners of his empty r
Awakened Chapter 19: Pleasure, Pleasure, Pleasure {R18}
"Nh!" The sound of Samantha's breaths moaned in the air as she pulled away from Kyle's lips, filling Kyle's once-empty room with a sort of sultry flavor. Samantha's tongue was slightly sticking out; a string of saliva, tempering the bond between the two. The temperature in the room seemed to rising with each second until it was almost unbearable. And yet.. it was weird, Kyle knew what they were about to do and what was about to happen, and yet he wasn't even feeling any sort of anxiety... he wasn't even excited. The only thing he focused on was how. How to give Samantha what she wanted and needed. 'I want to get to know you more.' And if she wants to know him, then Kyle will show who he is. "!!!" And then suddenly, like a wild beast unleashed, Kyle scooped Samantha into his arms and lifted her off the floor. She gasped in surprise but soon enough allowed herself to relax in his embrace, winding her arms around him; her warm breaths filling Kyle's neck as she started lic

"Oh. oh my god, I don't think.. I can stand now." The birds have already long stopped their songs, and yet it was only now that Lina was finally able to calm her heavy breaths. If it wasn't for the air conditioning in Kyle's room, then she would have definitely been drowned in her own sweat by now. "I think... I will need to visit my doctor later. I.. I don't think what we did was healthy." The sun outside was already harshly seeping through the cracks on the newspaper covering Kyle's windows as he lay on his soiled mattress... which he now definitely needed to replace. "I.. I'm.. tired, but I also feel refreshed for some reason." "..." Kyle turned to look at the woman who was resting on his chest, only to see her face completely red; the short strands of her hair, sticking onto her flushed checks. Lina also turned to look at him, before just leaning closer and casually placing her lips on his, "I... need to go, Kyle.. my phone's been vibrating like crazy for the past two

Kyle stood up straight and once again introduced himself."Kyle.. Kyle Anders, reporting for duty!" "Whoa! He even saluted too?" The little girl shricked as she pointed at Kyle, "What a freak.""Stop it, Cat. You are making the new boy uncomfortable."And as someone calm finally approached him, Kyle finally realized that their masks were not as plain as he had thought, no. They were carved differently, each perfectly portraying the face of an animal. And the person approaching him currently, had a mask with the face of wolf."My name is Wolfsbane, but call me Wolf."

The secondary base was in the Surface, while the primary one was here in the Defense, where there were tall walls and several buildings where the members were living.

Anyone actually from his batch?" "Two of them, Ma'am." Sergeant Andrew Tate was now back in the walled base, along with the new recruits who were currently sprawled down on the ground like lifeless puppets, with only their chests moving heavily as their breaths created an orchestra of gasps. "I'll.. I'll do it, I'll talk to the families." Kyle was also there, seated on the ground with his hair fully covering his face. He was also breathing heavily, but not because he was exhausted, no- he was still thinking of how Miranda just killed the red Orthros he painstakingly tried to keep alive, while killing almost a dozen dogs But the more he thought about it, the more he thought it didn't really matter. How was he going to be able to take care of the dog in the first place while he was in serv

And while the new recruits were fighting for their lives and being gnawed and chased by 2-headed dogs. Commander Miranda was inside their tent, leisurely examining their bags. This was not against the constitution, of course, as members of Defense Corps have already waived their rights as soon as they stepped inside the base. "Why are there so many beds here? Where is Kyle's bag?" Commander Miranda repeated her words as she dropped a bag full of erotic magazines. "The Lowborn, Ma'am?" "Do you want to be born again?" Commander Miranda snarled at the officer behind her. "No, Ma'am." The officer stood up straight, "The bed at the end of the tent, Ma'am."

"Every one, calm the fuck down! Panic will get you killed!" "Don't go there! Gods damn it!" "Kyle!" "...Kyle!?" Kyle knew he was being called by his superior, but the growling and howling of the orthros were loud and visceral. Drowning even the screams of the recruits who were sadly at the back of the line and being eaten alive. There was all sorts of noise, and yet that wasn't the reason why Kyle could not really hear any of it, no. It was the red orthros that had five Gray Hearts floating above its head. A dog. He could understand the arachnes having one as half of their body is human, but the beasts in front of them right now were literal dogs, 2-headed dogs. He hadn't really thought about it since he was busy training his Active Abilities and trying to find a way to become a Hunter.. ...but his abilities also work on literal beasts. But to what extent, exactly? Would it work on a literal spider too? Would he want it to? And while Kyle was stuck in his thought

Dregger. It has been a very long time since Kyle heard someone call him like that-it was what they used to call people like him in the past. The dregs of society, slaves. "Don't mind them, Kyle. Recruits are always like that. They see others as competition, not realizing that we really only have each other to rely on." "I remember you being one of those people, baldy." "Shut up, you perverted monkey. I am not a classist." "It's all.. just white noise to me at this point."

Chapter 36: Hellish Exercises
"Attention, recruits!" Rest. The new recruits have already forgotten what the word meant, and it hasn't even been a full day since they entered the Defense Corps. No, perhaps rest doesn't even exist in the Fourth Division. For the past 8 hours, they have been jumping up and down the Portal without pause. They were handed rations, but they had to eat them while falling. Some thought that by fainting during the fall, they would be able to rest; but they ended up even more exhausted than they already were. They haven't seen a bed, or even the rooms where they are supposed to be staying in if they even existed in the first place. And so, suffice it to say-most of them didn't even know what they were doing as they just instinctively gathered in front of a superior officer they hadn't seen before. And of course, this superior officer noticed how exhausted everyone was, it was a sight he has been used to for the past 10 years. "My name is Sergeant Andrew Tate! For the next 24 hour

"It all makes sense now." And as Kyle was surrounded by the other recruits that were either groveling on the floor or struggling to sit up, he continueded scanning his surroundings. When he was previously in the Underworld, he was inside some sort of cavern-but this time, he was outside. He had seen photos of it before, but seeing it in person truly makes one almost felt like they were drowning. No photo could do this place justice. The Surface world is a sphere, the horizons will always have an end. But in the Underworld, the horizons do not end, it loops. It almost made Kyle feel like he was in some sort of gigantic ball.. which he sort of actually was. Floating at the very center of the insides of this sphere, Tartarus. It was hard to see the distance, however, as a sort of fog seemed to blanket the endless horizon. And of course, perhaps the most noticeable of all was the 'sun' showering everything with its light. It is said that one of the gods, Hades, resided here

"Such flexibility, and you can also harden it by will." "...Yes." It was a completely different reaction than what Kyle was expecting. Although he already knew that Katherine and Miranda's personalities could not be any more different, he was still quite intrigued by how tuly different their responses were. Miranda's face was completely covered in Kyle's thick white web, and yet unlike Katherine who slightly panicked.. Miranda was playing with it. She was testing its flexibility, and is even rubbing it even more on her face to test how sticky it was. And even as Kyle hardened it, Miranda just casually snapped it in half like a biscuit. His webs had the strength to lift an entire human without breaking, and yet Miranda was just treating it like a toy. Just a testament to how strong Level 5 Rankers were. "Huh... this is extremely useful," Miranda hummed as she pulled a web that was on her lower lip, stretching it along with her lip, "But increased reflexes... and web shoote
