The Attack

Ok, author here. So... uh... this story, unlike my main story, it's... uh...

Incomplete, in every way possible and some ways that shouldn't be possible. What I mean is that unlike my main story where I basically have it all already and just need the time to finish the middle portion and then WRITE the whole thing, this one... I got a vague idea of how to start it, which I have actually written already... but from here on out it's all going to be a chaotic, haphazard, barely kept together with spit and prayers kinda thing. Don't expect quality or even much effort into this book. I would really advise dropping this book until I'm done with my first one so I can put all my effort into this hazard, and maybe read a different book before reading this one even after finishing my main one.

Do not expect quality or even a well built story, this is basically my first book in a ways since I am making this one entirely from scratch, instead of from a story I have been building in my mind for literal years. So... Yeah. (My foot is also asleep so ooooooooooooooouuuch it burns the pins and needles eeesch...)

2699, Feb 2nd.

My life has finally stopped seeming all chaotic and doomed to be short, given what I am. As for what I am, I realize that some of the documents on my species are classified, and if people end up reading any records I leave behind and don't know what I actually am. It's a long, very hard task to actually tell everything, so I am going to just shorten it. I am a person that has been 'Cursed', specifically, I have a genetic disorder or disease or something called 'The Curse' that is one of the most if not the most fascinating and complex genetic problems out there. It only targets humans, and it causes a lot of problems, but also powers... if you survive. It adds an extra six, inhuman chromosomes to embryos somehow, and these six chromosomes have an extra DNA pair thingy with the tags of P and L. How, nobody knows.

This however causes multiple problems. First, after three months in the womb, all the embryos supplied 'air' has to be pure oxygen or they will die and be stillborn. After birth until we are ten years old, we have to use advanced equipment in order to breathe only pure oxygen, and we still use it after ten years old because it's super hard and still potentially dangerous to breathe without it. Anyways, once born if we stop receiving pure oxygen we rapidly and violently mutate into these nasty monsters that make the Flood look like docile kittens. The first time it happened over ten people died and it literally took an advanced Scorpion tank to put it down.

If we 'make it' as it is called, specifically if we survive up to three days after out sixteenth birthday, we will begin changing into a creature that while somewhat similar to the 'drakes' from lack of oxygen (AN: Think western mythology 'wyverns' or whatever they're called, basically standard western dragon with it's wings in the place of it's front legs and no front legs. Also dumber typically.) we will become what is essentially a humanoid western dragon from the Old Earth myths. Long story short after a year or in maybe ten percent of the time, half a year, we will become a completely different creature with various powers and other stuff that makes us incredibly powerful. Unless you're Yellow, but nobody talks about them (AN: legit a specific 'Breed' that exudes some pheremones that makes everything literally instinctively look down on and mock the 'Yellows', and they themselves are very shy and avoid everything other than other Yellows. Legit just a joke of sorts.).

It's super complicated, and what I just wrote hurt my hand and was essentially half a whole documentary in three (kinda big) paragraphs. So. Basically, the most important thing in my eyes is the 'breeds'. Specifically, your 'Color' as people can also see it, which is both determined by your personality and at the same time determines it? Basically, every one of 'The Cursed' has a future 'breed' or 'Color' like that of Old Earth dragon myths, like Black, Red, Blue, White, Green, Brown, etc... pretty standard type of stuff. For example, Black's are super rare and have various powers over 'Death', specifically they get almost perfectly desensitized to death, some enjoy it, and most of what they do that is intended to cause death is mysteriously seventy five percent chance to succeed. However, they are also orderly and militaristic, and ninety percent join the military, with the remaining ten percent near perfectly obeying the law, with less than one percent of the ten percent performing even slight infractions in the law, with most of it being on accident. Reds are often pyromaniacs, join the military often just so they can go to the front lines against the Flood with flame throwers burning it all. Blues are curious, and often enjoy science and exploration and will often try - if sometimes fail - to join various scientific or exploratory teams. Over ninety nine percent of Blue's have photographic memories. Whites like clean places and most will obsessively clean their houses and some become doctors, though that is much more common in Greens who love life and over half become enviromental activists while essentially the remaining ones become doctors. Browns are dwarves, simple and short. What I mean is they love mining and building and will often become physical construction or mining workers. Yellows are jokes, literally. It's to the point where very few people even talk about them.

(AN: please note that all of this is kinda based off of myth and also... yeah this chapter is part info dump. I also have no plan really so I'm also going to find ways to dump ALL of the info within the next two chapters [excluding this one] to let people maybe... Pick this story up in my place? Just nothing MATURE ADULT or along those lines and I am honestly cool if you pick this up for me. Literally like anyone could maybe do better than me.)

Anyways, a bunch of kind of worthless info written down, and it's about time I tell you what 'Color' I know I am. Given the color of the handful of scales that have grown already, I know I am a Black, but given the fact that I am most certainly not orderly or particularly militaristic, I might be a rare 'Hybrid', which is basically someone with two 'Colors' and also a mix of the personalities. Although I can't find any of the Colors that would match with black to form my personality. I even went onto a government site dedicated to my kind and figuring out our 'breeds' early on and even it couldn't figure it out. It literally stated 'Black + ???' and crashed. Very confusing.

Anyways, I have been mucking around with my friends a lot, saw a couple movies, stuff like that. It's been fun, although they kept poking fun at me saying "Oh HI YELLOW" despite the fact that we all know I am NOT a Yellow. Yellows are literally the only 'Color' that has never once been a Hybrid color, and we all know I am going to at least be black, and I suspect maybe a Hybrid. So yeah. Other than that and the pizza my family had tonight, nothing much has happened.

I might soon move on from a 'journal entry' type book to an actual BOOK soon, so yay...?
