Chapter 3 - Compound V

In a dark corner of the cell, I was mentally preparing myself to suffer, you know? I'm not the kind of guy who likes pain, damn it, I'm not a masochist. But if this makes me stronger, to hell with it. [I said mentally as I clenched my teeth and plunged the needle into my vein, emptying the entire Compound V into my body.] The first thing you imagine after injecting this crap is that the pain will come immediately. Believe me, I wasn't an exception. But after 10 seconds, I opened my eyes to look at myself because, given how strange the situation was, it seemed like something had happened. That's what I thought before I looked at my arm—more specifically, at a vein running through it and connecting to my heart.

I'd like to say I was thinking rationally at the moment, but watching Compound V being pumped through my body was something fascinating. How was I able to see Compound V inside me? It's not hard to notice something neon blue in the dark coursing through your body. Well, that's what I thought until it reached my heart. That's when the damn pain started. Damn it, the pain I felt was worse than anything I've ever felt or imagined. I could feel the adrenaline in my body trying to fool my brain into not focusing so much on the suffering I was feeling, but damn it, it felt like my bones were being scraped with a file while my nerves stayed attached.

I lasted 10 minutes clenching my teeth while my body produced cold sweat, terrified of dying. If my brain weren't being reinforced while I was agonizing, I probably would've fainted a long time ago. After another 5 minutes, the pain started to subside while, simultaneously, strength began flowing through my body. If I could explain the sensation I feel right now, it's as if I had been disconnected my entire life from all the strength my body could exert, only to suddenly be able to squeeze every ounce of it. The adrenaline surged through me like an uncontrolled torrent, something I clearly didn't express. Reality hit me like a cold bucket of water—I'm still a guinea pig in this shitty base.

After the pain disappeared, I began to readjust to my body, which didn't take long. Now the most exciting part of all this was trying to feel my latent power. How do I know it's not super strength or some crap like that? Because I haven't accidentally destroyed the wall. While I now have an enhanced physique and my strength has increased to unknown levels, It's not enough to break these walls made of reinforced metal.

So I stood up, turning my back to the bars, and raised my hand, pointing at a spot on the wall in front of me, trying to feel this sensation accumulating at my fingertips. As I focused, I began to feel a pulse of red light flickering, accumulating more and more in the tip of my finger. With every second I continued to stimulate this energy, it stacked up, giving the impression that, given enough charge time, it could devastate anything. And maybe I was right, because even I could feel the destructive energy building up. While it was accumulating, the charge time was slow; they could easily shoot me in that time. So I stopped gathering beams of energy at my fingertips and retracted it. I wasn't dumb enough to release it here, you know? Maybe I'll test the damage it does with 1 second of charging. So I gathered energy for a second time in my finger and released it toward the wall. Then, a tiny yet unstable mass of energy shot out. To my great surprise, it caused some damage to the metal. While it was only the size of half a fingernail, you need to understand that this metal is designed to contain mutants in case of a breach. So, with this discovery, things change.

Obviously, I did this in a blind spot where no guard could see me—I'm not an idiot. After seeing the results, I smiled slightly while starting my course of action to organize a damn massacre in this hellhole of a base. I still have this need to kill those bastard guards who hurt me. "I've never liked being crushed like I'm worthless. In my previous world, I always was, but in this one, it won't be the same." [I whispered as I sat in a corner and thought to myself,] [Open Status].
