"Who's your father?"Noah was baffled by Luna's abrupt change of heart, which occurred in such a brief space of time that she was suddenly referring to him as her father.He couldn't believe that this was the same girl who had been nearly enraged to insanity and was about to kill the him only minutes earlier."You.."She pointed at him, and spoke in her cute cheerful voice, it was such a sweet voice that could melt the heart of anyone who heard her."Why?"Noah's eyebrows twitched in bewilderment as he saw this shameless girl acting so lovey dovey to himself, and was literally clutching to his arms." Then, you.... really want to use me as a slave?"Luna, who had been calling Noah, father, with joy the moment before, was now back to her sorrowful expression and her eyes were once more filled with tears that were about to fall and trace her cheeks."Listen, I don't want to use you as a slave, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't use my powers as your master on you, if I had to.... so stop
"..!! Dragon Transformation?"Luna questioned inquisitively, raising an eyebrow, as though she wanted to know about how I knew the name of her transformation.Dragons were mythological creatures that went extinct long ago, even now, most people were not aware of their existence, and even in this Apocalypse they believed them to be only imaginary.Despite the fact that it was understandable to Luna, for me to be aware of her powers through someway, but her small brain at her age was unable to comprehend how I came to know the name of the creature, which only she was aware of after her transformation."Wasn't that a dragon's claw, that your hand just transformed into?""Ah!"Luna seemed to understand that I had recognized her transformation from earlier which made her a bit relax but still she was confused about many things, and I had still not provided a definitive response to her and had only hinted subtly that I was aware of her secrets.Which left her quite bewildered."That... its
General POV :"Will that actually work?"Luna asked skeptically."We must make it work. There isn't another option."The man in front of Luna spoke calmly but authoritatively. He exuded the same aura for a very long time; it was the aura of someone who was extremely powerful and vastly superior to everyone else. Looking down on everyone."Alright"She consequently made the decision to agree with him because she too desired for those horrible people to suffer as much as she had.She had a lovely life with her family, but all was shattered by those people, and Luna will never be able to forget them.It all started about 2 years ago when Luna was 4 years old. At that age, most children wouldn't even remember what happened, but Luna, who had always been brilliant, had a developed brain that made her a gifted child that most people would refer to as a genius of the century.A child with a promising future, who at the tender age of one could walk, run, speak, and write with ease. Her inte
She fainted during the experiments everytime after crying, screaming and suffering for hours.Days went by without her even realising how much time had passed. When she used to woke up, it would be a new day for her in this hellish place, where her perception of time was twisted by experiments and lack of natural light.Since that day, when she had last heard of test subjects other than herself, she had begun to see a glimmer of light in this hopeless predicament.'Could she communicate with them?''Would they be in despair like she is?''Could she share her sorrow with them?''Would they be able to find a way out of this place?'Each time Luna had a moment to herself to think clearly, these questions haunted her endlessly.And it wasn't until after another round of experiments, in which her bodily parts like skin, nails, muscle tissues were removed and replaced with fresh ones from which she somehow managed to survive, that she finally got to meet the other kids who had also been tak
Darkness enveloped the whole cell along with Luna's body that started changing her from inside out as soon as she made up her resolve.Everything happened in a split-second, and when the blackness vanished, Luna was nowhere to be seen.When the security guard outside Luna's cell noticed the darkness and hurried there to check in, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the empty cage. From the outside, every corner of the cell appeared to be empty, leaving him perplexed by the sight.Since the cage was reinforced with thick concrete & iron and he was certain that no one had entered or left through the main gates, he reasoned that there might be a backdoor or some component concealed inside that had assisted Luna in escaping."W-Where.... in the world did that bastard go?"Thump! Thump!Because he was well aware of what kind of test subject Luna was, the guard's voice trembled in terror and his chest pounded with nervousness.The Dragon genes, from thousands of other children had o
The energy emanating from the black beam possessed qualities of both stillness and sharpness, it was like an assassin's attack, where each move was concealed by obscurity and lethality.Luna exhaled loudly and felt a thrilling sensation travel throughout her entire body when she watched the guard's motionless body lying on the floor. There was no hesitation or guit in her, instead she was overjoyed and ecstatic to kill such a wicked person, and she knew that no matter how minor, she had begun exacting her vengeance seriously from this point.Nevertheless, because leaving this place was her main objective—which she had to accomplish at any cost—Luna didn't indulge herself too much in this small joy of her first kill.She was the one who was transported everyday from the cell to the lab, so she knew exactly what locks were placed on each door, what type of mechanism they had, as well as who the key-holders were.As a result, Luna wasted no time in severing the guard's right thumb, remo
The red-haired woman, Claudia, who served as both the group's leader and magician, was an A rank Slayer, she was also one of the child of the head of one of Capital City's prominent guilds [Autumn leaves].Though, the guild's reputation was suffering a little from the recent subjugation missions' failure but it was still a very strong Guild.Claudia was a quick-witted woman, and today with her party, she came to this area because of the strange mana signals and disturbance that were reported in her guild. But as soon as she arrived with the group, she noticed the smoke in the forest and moved swiftly towards it to find out the cause.But she didn't expect to run into this injured little girl while on her way. Claudia came up with her own theory about what was going on based on how the little girl tried to use mana and what her condition was.First of all, this girl who looked to be around 6 years old was an awakened child—or at the very least, a half-awakened being—who knew how to ma
The individuals in those rooms, who were just now speaking to take care of Luna, were now once more shouting insults at her as they looked at the contemptuous sneer on her face.At that very moment, the host spoke to Luna quietly. He murmured something and mockingly enquired as to whether Luna was happy with the situation at the moment.Due to all of these factors and her already high level of emotional sensitivity, Luna rapidly lost her cool and yelled at the host to "shut up".She urged her mana to move because she was furious, and to her great surprise, she was able to move mana and cause it to vibrate around her. However, regrettably, she who was staring at the host with bloodshot eyes couldn't properly feel to what extent her own mana was moving.Nevertheless, it was just the matter of sometime when she would forcibly be able to use her mana if she kept going on like this.As the time passed and the auction went on, fewer and fewer people tried to fight over her bid because when t
