Sometimes life gives you hard fights, this time is one of those times for me, I hope god is with me and helps me with this choice
"There are people in line sir, please tell me what you want, an omelet with cheese or eggs with bacon?"
God, why are you giving me your toughest battles?
"O-Omelet please..."
I said defeated, I then took my food and sat on a table alone, I started eating, it was very tasty
"Do you have room for another?"
Ambrose asked me as she sat down with her own food
"Aren't you supposed to eat in the VIP session?"
I asked ironically
"I wouldn't call that VIP but no, I can eat wherever I like and today I decided to sit next to you, our golden boy"
Ambrose said with a smile
"Stop calling me that, everyone calls me by this nickname and it's very annoying, just call me Johan"
Ambrose slightly laughed at what I said
"Okay I thought you would like that nickname but I guess not"
Ambrose said with a calm expression on her face
"What is it that you wanted to ask me? Do you have another mission for me?"
"Mission? No silly, I just wanted to eat with you, that's all, until you go to America so you can attend this meeting you won't be attending any other mission"
Ambrose said as she ate her eggs with bacon
"Well thank you!"
I said as I started eating my food too
For some time it was quite peaceful, we both ate silently, and as soon as I finished my food I asked her
"Can you explain the thing I saw banging on my room's window?"
This question caught Ambrose by surprise
"I told you whoever would knock on your window is crazy, well not exactly that, inside this facility we have people that we use as an experiment, we inject monster DNA that we never have experimented on inside of them and we wait to see the results, and the person you saw yesterday tried to escape, that's all, I hope he didn't scare you"
Ambrose told me with a smile
"Isn't that unethical?"
"They are death-row inmates Johan, they were bound to die anyway, we simply are using them for a better cause, that is, most of them also come from the soviet union and they are Nazis, prisoners"
Ambrose further explained
"I didn't know Nazis still existed today"
Ambrose left out a small laugh
"We have many pre-Nazis and Neo-Nazis allies you know! And also Nazis in Germany haven't completely disappeared"
I guess there are a lot of things I don't know of
"Since we are done now do you mind coming with me to my office? I have something I want to talk to you about, privately!"
Ambrose said as she got up, I couldn't refuse so I also got up and followed her
While I walked I noticed something odd... Almost everyone in the cafeteria at the time was eating eggs with bacon...
"Oh, one more thing! Did you paint the painting on the corridor?"
I asked Ambrose
"I'm surprised you noticed that, so what do you think? Did it look like a mirror?"
Her question was weird...
"Not really, to be honest, it kind of disturbed me, the angels and the blank background... it's just not my type of drawing but I can't deny the talent"
"You sure have your way with words"
Ambrose said as she smiled, I don't like this
This building's whole vibe is weird, is like I'm in a cage and that brainwashed thing Nicolas told me before is really starting to freak me out now, for some reason I always feel tense inside of here, it's like I could get attacked at any moment by anyone, sadly I can't get away because I belong to the OWF
"Here we go! This is my little office! Do you like it?"
Ambrose said as she did a rotation with her hands high up
"It looks fancy, too fancy for me"
I told her as I inspected another big painting she had behind her desk, looking at its description it said that it was "The number of the beast is 666" by William Blake, "to decide" that was the meaning of this painting
"That's the original painting! I spent a lot of money to buy it but it is one of the most interesting drawings I have ever seen, and I like the meaning of it very much so that's another reason I chose to buy it!"
Ambrose told me as she saw me staring intensely at it
"It appears you like creepy drawings..."
Ambrose laughed
"It's not creepy, it's just alarming..."
She said as she grabbed a bottle of wine that was inside a cabinet, she then poured two bottles of wine
"Have some! It's a very tasty wine made from the finest grapes from France"
Ambrose said as she shook her bottle the same way rich people do it
"Are you sure? I'm under-aged you know"
"Does anything else we do seem "legal" to you?"
Ambrose asked me with a smile, I guess she has a point
"Thank you!"
I said before drinking the wine...
It was not wine...
This shit was not wine!
I feel my throat closing up, I feel my stomach burning and my vision going red, I can't breathe now, I also see Ambrose looking at me as she sat on top of the desk
Did she poison me?
I can see blood coming out of my mouth, my eyes feel bloody too, I guess I'm dying...
…
"I can't believe it actually worked!"
I heard very faintly
"Look! He is up"
I heard another voice saying that, the voice was a bit clearer
"Shut the hell up!"
I said as I tried to get up, these voices were making my brain make a ringing noise so that's why I said that
Once I got up I saw that Nicolas and Ambrose were standing still, watching me get up
"You didn't kill me?"
I asked Ambrose
"Kill you? That was the complete opposite of dying! I gave you your REAL life to you, and now you are rebirthed as a superior human being, a DNA-mixed human"
Ambrose told me as she approached me
"What do you mean?"
"Why don't you go to the bathroom and look at yourself in the mirror?"
Ambrose told me as she guided me to her office's bathroom
Once I saw myself in the mirror I was left speechless, my hair had turned into a dark bluish color, it was almost indistinguishable from black hair, and my eyes were grey, the same grey color Ambrose's eyes are, OH, and one more thing, I now have fangs, not long like a vampire's but longer than normal
"What happened to me?"
"This "wine" you drank was monster's blood, I didn't tell you that since you would have drank it if I told you, plus this DNA is almost 100% pure monster DNA so many humans can't even handle it but thanks to your high-level monster sensitivity of yours you were able to handle the side effect of consuming the monster's DNA"
Ambrose explained to me as she exited the bathroom
"So that means I have an ability like the others, right? If yes then what can I do?"
Ambrose looked at Nicolas and thought for a second
"This is a top-tier secret but I don't mind sharing it with you two, I know that you two won't spoil the beans. Your powers come from a high-level monster that we managed to harm, this monster's ability is ERASE, this ability is very destructive but requires a lot of energy. How do we know that? When we fought the monster it didn't fight back for a length of time but once it did it wiped out almost all of the attack units..."
"Then why give this power to me? I could erase you right here, right now"
Nicolas quickly used a tentacle to choke me as soon as I said that
"Stop that Nicolas! His powers haven't developed yet so he can't do anything, yet..."
Nicolas stopped as soon as Ambrose told him that
"Even if you got this power kid, both I and Ambrose can take you out in a flash, so don't get your brain over your head because you learned you have a powerful ability, that's what the last person in my division did and what do you think happened to him?"
"Probably killed, I don't care..."
I said as I walked to the exit of the room
"He didn't die, I murdered him..."
Nicolas's words made my body shiver, I then left the room with no more words to be said
…
The day to go back to America quickly came, during this time me and Nicole spent time training in martial arts, mostly kick-boxing, in my opinion, the most useful skill to know when you are fighting monsters
As these days passed me and Nicole also were allowed to go out for tea and stuff and we did, we were close in age so we could easily relate and relax with each other
"Wait for a bit! I still haven't packed some clothes I want!"
Nicole told me from inside her room, she told me to come and get her before going to the airport so that's what I did
"All ready! We are good to go" Nicole said
The two of us then left the building, Nicolas was waiting for us outside
"You sure took your sweet time, a taxi should be coming for us in some minutes"
Nicolas said as he anxiously watched his watch, I'm not sure if he is certain about that taxi...
"There he is!"
Nicole said as she pointed at a lonely taxi, we went to them, and turns out Nicole was right
"To where?"
The driver asked
"The airport, and make it fast, I will tip you more if you do!" Nicolas said
Some taxis purposely delay or take extra turns to make people pay more so I assume that's why Nicolas told him that
The taxi ride was hasty and silent
"Are you scared?"
I asked Nicole
"Scared of what?"
"Americans, they looked trapped in their own world, more trapped than I or you, trapped in a world of fake and while in reality, they are in the same catastrophic position as the rest of the world is, I'm scared of becoming that, institutionalized like an ant"
"You will be fine! I will make sure you will"
Nicole said as she patted my head, she is like the big sister I never had...
"Here we are, as promised! Fast and I even took some extra shortcuts"
The driver said with a smile, Nicolas gave him 50 pounds and left
"The plane will be here in twenty minutes so make sure to move fast!"
Nicolas said as he walked fast, we followed him
Before we knew it we went through security and then entered the plane
"I will sit in the window seat!" Nicole said as she slid into the seat
"I don't care, I will probably sleep"
I said as I sat next to her, Nicolas sat next to me, and shortly after the plane departed
And we were officially headed to our important mission in America...
It didn't take long for us to reach the United States of America, it was our second time setting foot on this land and this time it was willful"So what exactly are we going to do there? Just simply join them? If that's the case then their protection is very inefficient"Nicole said as she dragged her traveling package"Why did you bring so many clothes? You know that we can finish our mission fast right?"I told her, Nicolas was quick to correct me"Not really, our mission is not to only spy on the enemy but also spy on a specific subject of Illuminati, the person we are looking for is rumored to have joined about 4 weeks before us""What makes that person so important that we have to risk our lives just to spy on them?""The ability they possess of course! You know how we collect monster DNA to gain power right? The stronger the monster extracting DNA is the stronger the ability or the user is going to be, and in the case of the person we are looking for the ability they got was fro
17/10/1989It was just a typical day in England, nothing out of the ordinary, I was simply walking home, I and my friends had a friendly game of football against our rival school, they out bested us so we lost, the reason for our loss wasn't only because they were better but because they also were in a better mood than us, well now I'm mostly speaking about myself, for some reason I didn't feel good, I felt like something isn't right but oh well, there isn't something I can do so might as well just head home, it looks like it's about to rain againDamn, I hate the rain, and it rains every day here, and all it does is prevent us from playing football, here in London we don't even have many plants so why rain here? Go shower the Sahara desert or something, they need water more than us"We have a report that today Jorge Barkonson, a 16 years old boy went missing! According to his family, he went outside with some friends, and after splitting with his friends he was nowhere to be seen, th
After what happened in the hospital I woke up inside a weird-looking room, the room had greasy yellow wallpaper, this room had the same annoying lights that the hospital had, this annoying ring of the lights just couldn't stop, I slowly got up and looked around me, this weird room extended to as far as the eye could see, it was a quite unsettling thing to see, the room just didn't endI took a walk around the rooms but there were no doors in sight, there was nothing at all, only an endless amount of similar empty rooms, the sent those rooms left felt dusty, it really reminded me of my attic, this place had a very similar sent but not quite, because these rooms also leave a sent of moist, as if the rooms were not well ventilated, well no windows were in sight so I guess this has to be the case, this place also reminded me of a book my mom used to read, it was called "The yellow wallpaper" it was about one woman forced to stay in a room just like that, the woman ended up insane, will I
When the monster created wings I felt kind of relieved and scared at the same time, if he could do that all the time then why didn't he do it when he chased me into the forest before, was that all planned by him? It doesn't matter now since he will probably be the one to save me"You did a good job finding him for us Johan, now leave him to me"the monster said, it then flew at it while transforming his hand into a big crab's claw"That's how you use a claw!"He said as he used his crab claw to chop the other monster in half, it then created kicked the remaining of its body at me, the monster girl's body was slowly regenerating but before it could fully heal the monster quickly stabbed it with a blade created by a swordfish's nose, and out of nowhere some people dressed in a hazard suit came and secured the monster girl with something like a cage"Now that this problem is resolved how about a walk? I bet that you are stunned and confused"the monster said as he offered me a hand to ge
After what happened I had no other option but to accept the embrace of the woman, she told me that her name was Ambrose Kicks, Ambrose introduced me to my own room, the room was relatively big and more than enough for two people, having such a room for myself feels crazy "This will be your room for as long as you want, I hope you stay safe, oh and if you hear banging from your window at night just ignore it, I'm telling you this for your own good" Ambrose told me with a sweet smile as she closed the door, after telling me that I feel a bit bothered but I'm sure I can make it, I mean how hard can it be to live here, if the banging isn't a big deal then I will simply close my ears and sleep and that's what I did, thankfully I didn't hear any banging at night 20/8/1989 When I woke up I walked up to the entrance and to my surprise, all of the church-like seats were full, with random people, everyone was listening to Ambrose talking, she was talking about something spiritual, her words
Apparently, I'm going to Wales so I can help with a group mission, I wasn't informed about this until now so I don't know how to feel but I'm pretty sure nothing will go wrong, at least not like before, I was dragged to an unknown place and fought for my life, at least this time I will have someone I can depend on"Your team is a new one but a promising one nonetheless, we call them "Ter" they are a team of two, and they are both ejected with monster DNA so both of them have an ability, Your mission is to find a clue of a monster inside a kindergartner, I assigned you too because you have a keen sense"Nicolas told me as he was staring at the street"And why did you send a such skilled team, to begin with?"I asked, I know that it isn't as simple of a mission as it sounds"Looks like you are worried but I can assure you that not many monsters will appear there and if they do then they will be weak and fragile, even you could kill them"Nicolas said as he looked at me from the front se
When the whale emerged from the water Jack started manically running away from it, he seemed like a lost child there, I wanted to run too but my legs were rooted, I couldn't move nor hear, and my thoughts are hard to process"Snap out of it Johan!"Nicole said as she was shaking my body"What do we do?"I asked confused, Nicole gave a look at the whale that was flying directly in our direction and then looked back at me"No matter what happens, I know we can survive this, just follow me and I will protect you"Nicole said as she grabbed my hand, she then started running across the beach but not leaving it, the whale seemed to not come at us but at Jack, who had already left the sandy part of the beachThe whale started falling and before I knew it the whale had crushed Jack like a human stepping over an ant, no it seemed so natural but yet so wrongAfter crushing Jack the whale turned its huge eyes at us and started to fly toward us"Don't look back, Johan! Just run!"Nicole said as s
After the night passed me and Nicole woke up in another land, after realizing that we were somewhere else we started walking on a road to somewhere, I tried to hitchhike but no car stopped to pick us up "Don't bother, people will not stop if I don't offer them something" Nicole said as she kept on walking "What can you offer them that I can't?" "Sex" She said without turning my way, I felt like an idiot for not thinking of that, but in a kind of way I was justified, I dated multiple girls while I was in London but I never did things like that because they always refused, they refused so many times that the concept of sex didn't come into my mind After some time a car stopped, it was a red truck that carried a ladder and some firewood "Do you need me to drop you somewhere?" The tough-looking man that drove the car asked us, surprisingly the man spoke English "Where are we right now?" Nicole asked "Well, America of course! We are close to Alabama, I have a farm not far from he

Sometimes life gives you hard fights, this time is one of those times for me, I hope god is with me and helps me with this choice"There are people in line sir, please tell me what you want, an omelet with cheese or eggs with bacon?"God, why are you giving me your toughest battles?"O-Omelet please..."I said defeated, I then took my food and sat on a table alone, I started eating, it was very tasty"Do you have room for another?"Ambrose asked me as she sat down with her own food"Aren't you supposed to eat in the VIP session?"I asked ironically"I wouldn't call that VIP but no, I can eat wherever I like and today I decided to sit next to you, our golden boy"Ambrose said with a smile"Stop calling me that, everyone calls me by this nickname and it's very annoying, just call me Johan"Ambrose slightly laughed at what I said"Okay I thought you would like that nickname but I guess not"Ambrose said with a calm expression on her face"What is it that you wanted to ask me?

After this weird night surprisingly we woke up safely, no harm was done to us, but the most surprising thing was that I was able to sleep even though I know someone that could hurt us was near usBoth of us were awakened by a familiar voice"Wake up sweeties, a friend for you came to pick you up"The woman said, and as soon as she said that Nicolas came through the farm's door"I'm surprised you managed to survive until here but I shouldn't expect low about the golden boy and our dream girl!"Nicolas said with a smile on his face, dream girl huh? Do both of us have stupid nicknames now?"It was about time you found us sir but I'm glad you did nonetheless!"Nicole said as she swiftly got up"No problem girl! But before we go I have to take care of a small problem..."Nicolas said, he then with a quick move turned around and punched the woman sending her meters away, Nicole and I quickly exited the farm to see better"You see kids this is a casual case of summoning back draw, I call thi
