[Does the host want to absorb the mutagen?]
A notification appeared in Orion's vision as he held the core in his hand.
'Yes.'
He agreed, and a moment later, the core turned into red particles and disappeared from his hands.
[Upgrade requirements met…]
[Initiating the upgrade to Iron Rank…]
Two notifications popped up in his eyes as he agreed.
Almost instantly, his body began to twitch all over, and an intense pain overtook him.
After that, the thing Orion feared the most happened.
He looked at his hands as they began to melt slowly. First, the skin all over his hands started to peel off, followed by the muscles melting away, and then the bones. Horror and disbelief filled Orion's mind as he watched his own body disintegrate before his eyes.
The same thing happened with his other hand and then with all the parts of his body.
