Deep underground, below a beautiful city, inside a white room with a steel table, bound a young boy by his limbs with thick leather straps.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
In this room were bloodcurdling screams coming from this young boy that should be enjoying his youth.
"Tch, Another failure."
Said an older man in a white lab coat who looked frustrated.
"Well, this one held up longer than most."
"Don't patronize me and bring in the next subject."
"Right away, sir."
Said the middle-aged man as he shuffled away.
...
Somewhere else in this horrid facility, there was a boy sleeping? or unconscious who just woke up in a place he wished he hadn't.
'...Where am I?'
Before this boy could comprehend what or where he was, there was a knock at his windowless steel door. Not even a second later, this seemingly impenetrable door opened to a man in a white lab coat with a white mask that covered his face.
"Oh, you're up; that makes this a lot easier let's go 0762."
"...Who are you."
"You'll find out if you succeed where the others have failed, so follow me or else."
Said the middle-aged man before walking off.
'Well, I guess that's the best I should expect from a kidnapper.'
After following this man for around 10 minutes, they arrived before an opened room with a steel table.
"Go in, and wait for further instructions."
"What do you want with me?"
"Are you disobeying me?"
Before the boy could answer back, this man pulled out a stun gun and aimed.
"Now I will count to 3,...1"
"I understand"
"Good boy"
After he walked into this all-white room with dark red spots under this lone table, the door closed.
'Well, no running away now, I guess.'
But before his thoughts could wander more, an intercom spoke.
"Hello 0762, I know this must all be strange what's happening to you, but please understand it's all for the greater good of humanity. Now, if you could answer some questions for me to make sure we have the correct data on you, what is your last name?."
'I guess I should answer unless I'm feeling ballsy.'
"Losttears"
"First name? "
"Cinder"
"Any middle name?"
"No"
"Age?"
"15"
"Height and weight?"
"5.9ft and 125 pounds"
"Ethnicity?"
"White Caucasian"
"Alright good so far, seems we have the correct files on you. Now that's been settled, please lay down on the steel table, and we will continue."
"What will we be continuing? I still don't know where I am or what you want with me."
"All in due time, now please lay down. I don't want to get physical with a child."
'Figures'
After he laid down on the cold steel table, four full-grown adults came in wearing white hazmat suits. After the doors shut, these four adults walked over to him, 1 of these individuals was carrying a big syringe in their hand. Before he could take a closer look at this syringe, the other three strapped and buckled him to the steel table. He could no longer move, let alone escape his unknown fate.
"Now let the test begin, Albert; you may begin."
One of the adults nodded before inserting the syringe into Cinder's arm. After making sure all of the unknown grey liquid was gone, he quickly removed it and backed away along with the others. But these people were no longer Cinder's concern because, before long, he was in excruciating pain, more pain than he has ever been, and this pain didn't stop for hours to come.
After an excruciating three-hour session, all of the pain went away like it was all an illusion. Ten minutes later, one of the doctors in the transparent glass room started jumping and screaming, but Cinder couldn't hear or make out what they were saying.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, OUR FIRST TRUE SUCCUSSES!"
"Sir, please calm down; we still need to continue with the next steps."
"The following steps are nothing compared to this; if he passed this, he is 100 percent going to pass the following stages; those are the enhancements this was the foundation. No one has been given the first injection while retaining so much awareness and bodily functions. He will be our crowning jewel; from now on, we finally have our perfect adam."
"Sir, still, please calm down."
"Yes, we must continue; take him to the next room for the enhancements."
"Right away, Sir."
"Now then time to congratulate our new star."
(Cinder) 'I wonder what that grey liquid was?'
(Intercom) " Congratulations, you passed the first and most challenging test. Now we will do a couple more tests, then someone will lead you to your new room, and they will answer any questions you may have. Now please follow my assistant to your next test after he releases you."
After another batch of tests took ten more hours, with some more syringes with unknown liquids and some with pools of novel liquid, he had to stay in for hours. He was finally done for today, at least now back to his new and more spacious room.
(Cinder) "Now, can I ask some questions?"
(Unknown Female Nurse) "Yes, of course, ask away."
"Finally, well, first of all, where am I?"
"We are located in a special facility, a place where nobody can find us."
"So you won't tell me."
"...."
"Fine, what do you want with me."
"We wish to make the first artificial gods or immortals; we wish to bring humanity to its next evolution before it's too late."
"Before it's too late for what?"
"...."
"....Figures, well why me?"
"No reason, you, Cinder, were chosen randomly."
"Ok then, what's next for me?"
"Lots of sleep; you may not know it yet, but you will feel quite different when you wake up from your slumber; also look in a mirror; I bet you will be surprised, to say the very least. Someone will bring you food shortly, and in 24 hours, we will resume with your tests to fully enhance you beyond human limitations."
"Then what will I become?"
"You will find out soon enough, but before that, I should probably tell you your new name."
"New name?"
"Yes, welcome to your new home Adam."
