•The First One

With the bright sunlight touching his face Krev got up from his bed , it was a new day with infinite possibilities. But that didn't apply to his life , he knew what he was going to do today. There were no possibilities but just a single task for him , that was to study.

"Shut Up! Shut Up! Shut the f*ck Up! If you want to live here stay quite and hear what I..."

Instead of the motherly sunlight what woke him was his father shouting and verbally abusing his mother. He laid down again and looked at the white ceiling , it pained his heart to his family like this.

'They have already started eh.'

But he locked this pain away and looked up to the day coming.

'Hah , I wish I could just... die.'

Then the image of his crying mother flashed in his mind , making him ready for another sh*tty day. This was the nightmare Krev got when he was unconscious in the warehouse.

He didn't sleep the night he killed his parents , the reason was everytime he closed his eyes instead of relaxing he would just get more stressed by his nightmares. And at the end of the nightmare he would always think ,

'Was suicide a good option?'

Regret. Regret was what made him think that , instead of his parents lives he could've just took his own life and escape this world. But his greed didn't let him do that.

'Nah , that was never an option.'

Kneeling down Seven looked at Krev's smashed face with her eyes widened , he was still breathing and his wounds were healing right infront of Seven.

'Oh my , who would've thought that he would be an 'Original'.'

Original , a term given to a one of a kind mutant. Unlike common gifts like body enhancement , psychics , etc. Orginals were one of kind mutants. There was no Blood Mutant in the whole world which was why Krev could be called an Original , even if the future generations obtain the same mutation as him he would still be known as Original as he was the one who brought this gift into the world.

Seven was surprised by this revelation , this made her more intrested in the young man lying before her.

'Wait... If he is a original... Then can it be he's a Desired Mutation?'

Many of the Originals went under Desired Mutation which gave them one of a kind power , hence Seven thought that the young man could also be a product of Desired Mutation.

'He has to be a Tier 6 atleast , we've to get him on our side. This kind of gem is impossible to find and the gift to control his own blood! This makes me... Makes me want to dissect him and see if he can regenerate.'

Seven was quite a famous sinner in the mutant world , the experiments she performed boosted 'Grave Saints' growth.

'I want to experiment on him , of all the mutants I've seen he's the closest to 'The First One' , the concept of his healing powers are different but he can heal himself so testing him wouldn't be useless. The data I'll get will put us ahead of the Mutant Corp.'

'Hahahaha'

Forgetting her surrounding Seven started laughing like a mad scientist while still looking beautiful as ever.

Liok who was right beside her was captivated by her beauty and started staring at her without giving a blink. His eyes started watering at one point but he wanted to see her rare laughing face. This was the determination of the member of Seven fan club.

'Devoting myself to worship Archbishop Seven was the best decision I made , Amen.'

"Hey Liok , was it?"

"Ye-"

"What did Seil hit him with? To put this kid to be in such condition..."

Seven checked the back of Krev's head and saw the flattened part of his skull.

'That moron Seil didn't went easy on him , he must've hit him with a orange or yellow. Luckily his gift saved him '

"If I saw correctly it was red- no maybe purple , I didn't get to see it clearly. Even with my gift Archbishop Seil is just too fast to keep up with , but the colour was definitely dark. I don't even get how this kid is still breathing , even I-."

"That son of a b*tch! If this specimen had died I would've cut his head with my own hands , hitting him with a red is he crazy or what!?"

When mutants with physical mutated body reached a certain speed and power they would be able to create colours and one of those individuals was Seil. Krev wasn't able to see the color because if the speed at which the punch hit him.

"I also thought the same."

'It's better to agree with her , the Archbishop's not here anyways.'

"Hah... I looked at your friend there and it's just blood loss. His psychic gift saved him from dying this time , by the way how did he lose to this boy. Even though he has a good gift that doesn't mean he could just lose to a newbie."

'Controlling blood is better than just a good gift , but infront of an experienced sinner he couldn't have won.'

"Newbie?"

"Yeah I just checked his blood he got enlightened 3-4 days ago."

"I see , brother Vik was taking it easy and let his gaurd down. This brat took that opportunity and then defeated him."

Liok went ahead and told her the events that took place , Vik getting holes in feet , Vik losing blood he told Seven everything he saw.

'That was a decent play , although that kind of plan wouldn't work against someone as strong as Seil. Seil must've seen this boy alive after taking his punch , someone who could live after taking Seil's dark colour punch is atleast a Bishop. Fair offer I guess.'

"So he will be the new Bishop from today onwards."

"To be exact from tomorrow onwards , the condition he is in right now... even with his gift it'll take him more than a day to recover."

"Hmm... Bishop Liok you're wrong there , he'll be able to walk after 2-3 hours. Look at the broken facial bones they aren't just recovering they're also strengthening , his blood is acting like a glue to stick his bone back to the place."

"What!? Can such mutant exist!?"

Just then a sudden thought came in Liok's mind.

"Archbishop Seven..."

"Hmm?"

"... What if we remove all of his bones and give a lot of blood to make up for it?"

"What are you tal-"

"With his blood hardening can't he just form new bones which are flexible and strong at the same time?"

"!?"

Seven realised that the man who stood infront of her was a 'Bishop' , ruthless act like these didn't mean anything to him.

'Bishop Liok... only if you used your brain to strengthen yourself.'

As a Bishop , Liok was nominated to become a Archbishop many times but he declined all of them.

'But if what he said really works than this kid will be able to do some impossible things.'

"Bishop Liok , there are always some limitations to gifts. Like how you can't fly with your body enhancement there are things even he cannot do. But..."

'Yes , flying with just a physical mutation isn't possible. But the mutants enlightened by Desired Mutation are special and unpredictable.'

"But?"

"If he's able to reach higher tier's the 'move' you just mentioned might come true in future , and if it does it's better to be on his good side."

"If he's that dangerous why not just kill him? If Archbishop Seven wants to experiment on him just take his blood and kill him."

"Hah , don't you know what kind of mutant he is? 'Blood' mutant , even if we take his blood out this kid's gift will unconsciously keep him alive. Just like your friends did."

Seven looked at Liok's confused face and said ,

"Have you ever played any Role Playing Games?"

"Of course , that was my whole childhood."

"Then you'll be able to understand it quicker , think of gift as a skill which comes with your character. What are the 2 types of skills?"

"Umm... Passive skills and active- Oh I get it so our gift are both passive and active skills and keeping us alive is like a passive skill , right Archbishop Seven?"

"Yes , but this 'passive skill' is available for those who are powerful enough. Your friend Bishop Vik was a Tier 6 which is enough to have passive skill , you also have it... you just don't know about it. It triggers in life threatening situations."

"Oh , I see. I feel educated , it was interesting to hear it from Archbishop Seven."

"Anyways now that we are done let's move him to the nearby base , I found the Corps chip inside his spine while treating his back."

"Chip? Even I didn't have that , he must've been innocent in the past. That chip took many of my faction members lives."

"Which is why you've to stop chatting and get going."

Grave Saints Base , Sector 30 , City S.

His eyes fluttered because a big white light shining right infront of him , as he opened his eyes the blur white light started becoming more clearer.

'Huh? Where am... I?'
