You chose it!

"Huh… so I can see now?" Kanaru muttered.

After an unknown amount of time Kanaru fully regained all his senses. His ability 'Recovery' has greatly improved.

"This is boring..." Kanaru complained.

'Huh… seeing my own body in this state disgusts me a little.' Kanaru thought, observing the state of his body.'

His arms and legs were tied with chains, he could only move his neck. His body was malnourished, you could see how his ribs stood out. Some electrodes were attached to his body and reflected Kanaru's state in the vital sign machine, according to what he could see on the electrocardiogram, his health is very good despite his unfortunate appearance.

'I'm surprised that I survived all of that.' Kanaru thought. Lately he has had a lot of time to reflect because he has not heard from Souji for a long time to continue his 'precious' experiment.

Suddenly an LED screen turned on.

"Yo! Did you miss me Kanaru-kun? A lot of time has passed? I'm not sure about it, it depends on the time it took you to recover your senses, according to my calculations you would need at least 4 years; according to Tree Diagram, 2 years. I don't trust that machine that is constantly controlled by a old man from with terrifying eyes of my family, so… Happy 18 years! I really would have liked to give you a gift equivalent to the one I gave you when you turned 15, but well…" Souji spoke through the screen, he looked happy, but clearly it was all an act… besides being a recording.

'A recording huh... It's impossible for me to be 18 years old. Although I don't know the exact time I've spent here, I know it doesn't exceed 2 years.' Kanaru thought.

Souji continued to speak in a joyous tone of everything Kanaru experienced here, basically everything he suffered.

"Hey! It isn't my fault that you could resist 50,000 V. I had to increase the voltage to see your maximum recovery capacity, you know, also it seems that it helped you improve your ability. Although you stopped having the ability to feel because of it for a long time."

"Or maybe you are upset about putting extremely hot water in your eyes? It is not like this? But because of that we discovered that you can regenerate parts of your body! And so, then I cut…"

"..." Kanaru just shook his head upon hearing everything Souji said, after all, it was just a recording.

"Well, anyway... this message can only be activated when 2 situations occur at the same time" Souji said.

"Huh... what the hell is he talking about?" Kanaru reflected.

"First! Until you fully recover your senses. I exaggerated a bit with the experiments, but you know, I didn't want you to advance the game in hard mode with a character who may not even be able to overcome the tutorial."

"..." Kanaru just sighed.

"Second! They locked me in a dungeon because of my family's damn jealousy. You know, of all the projects to get a person to reach level 6, yours is the most likely to be successful. The level increase in your ability was incredibly fast, last time it was a level 4, now that you managed to regain your senses and adding to the fact that you can regenerate limbs at your whim, I'm 100% sure you are already a level 5 esper in their own right, so… congratulations on your new breakthrough!"

Kanaru was already getting fed up with seeing Souji's smile, if it wasn't because he is currently chained he would have already smashed the screen.

"Pfff... Amata-senpai knows perfectly well that Accelerator doesn't like to kill all those Railgun clones, at first everything was fine, but upon reaching unit # 2242 there was a small hint of doubt on the part of the albino in the experiment, Although Tree Diagram's calculations are never wrong, he has the same calculation capacity as that super computer, so all variables are possible with that type. Amata-senpai has already given up on the project and entrusted it to someone else, currently he is only in charge of supervising it.

Souji continued explaining with his particular nasty smile and then pointed his index finger at Kanaru who was directly in front of him.

"You have helped give hope to the Dark Matter Project. It is all thanks to you, you'll probably reach level 6 with the last steps, who knows, now... finishing this project depends only on you. You can just get out of here and enjoy a great life as a level 5 esper. Well, if you want to complete the experiment press the red button below this screen and if you want to get out of here just use the elevator. Since I'll not be able to enjoy my achievements that I deservedly earned with this project, I don't care what happens. I'll give the final instructions only if you press the button."

The screen went dark and the whole place fell silent. The chains holding Kanaru opened and released him. Kanaru slowly removed all the electrodes from his body and all the displays indicating his vital signs went out. Kanaru got up.

"So complete the project or get out of this dump huh..." Kanaru muttered.

"It's possible that I can live a life of luxury with my new level 5 status, but that will not help me, many people who hide in the darkness of this city know about me, what I need most is to gain all the strength possible to destroy them all." Kanaru stepped forward and stopped in front of the LED screen.

Kanaru pressed the red button.

"I'd even sell my soul to the devil to destroy them all!" Kanaru exclaimed.

The screen came back on showing Souji with a serious expression.

"So, then you decided to get all the power huh… I don't blame you; I'd have done the same. But trust me, the price to get all that power will destroy everything you currently have as a person, your morale."

As soon as Souji finished speaking, behind Kanaru, a silver capsule emerged from the ground. In that capsule you could see a blonde woman without any clothes, her well-developed body was completely exposed. She had an artificial respirator covering her mouth and seemed to be sleeping surrounded by a strange blue liquid.

"She is very beautiful, don't you think? Her name is Lyn, she was Teitoku Kakine's best friend at the research center where they were both raised to improve their abilities. She has a copy of Kakine's Dark Matter implanted by him voluntarily. Kakine's Dark Matter has teamed up with her own ability called 'Dark Corrosion', due to which she caused a mutation in the implanted Dark Matter and she can't control it unless she spends a long time in a state of cryogenics to slowly adapt to the change, unfortunately her talent is very poor to reach level 6, currently she is a level 4, what you should do with her is very easy."

Kanaru kept watching the girl while listening carefully to Souji, something in her caught his attention.

"She'll never wake up for at least a few more years, we have used any genetic material from her for the Dark Matter Project, unfortunately due to her 'Dark Corrosion' ability we haven't had good results with other implants, it would be easier if Teitoku Kakine will help us, but He will not give his ability to anyone but her. By now you must have guessed what to do with her... you must eat her!

Kanaru was surprised for a moment upon hearing those words, but he kept watching the girl closely until he finally realized the problem. Then Souji started saying things that ended Kanaru's patience.

"Will you cook her first?"

"If I were you, I would be sad for not having a condom"

*CRASH*

Kanaru smashed the screen with a bang and turned quickly to watch her.

"Stop playing sleeping beauty. Do you want me to kiss you? You heard what that asshole said. You have 2 options. Option 1, fight and die in pain. Option 2, do nothing and die with less pain, choose fast!

*CRASH*

The capsule was broken and a girl with golden hair with a pair of beautiful black wings and red eyes emerged from it. Lyn kept seeing Kanaru with eyes full of rage.

"Then option 1!"
