So it's true that I'm a mutant

Werewolf, a genetic mutation that allows a mutant to have great strength with physical changes resembling a wolf. The muscles became big and hard, accompanied by the growth of gray hair all over his body. Its eyes were bright red, its fangs and claws capable of tearing apart its prey. His thirst for blood makes him unable to let his prey escape alive. He would only return to his human form after being satisfied with the carnage he had committed. 

One of the advantages of a werewolf is that wounds on his body will heal much faster than humans in general. His biggest weakness is weapons made of silver. Wounds caused by weapons made of silver cannot heal quickly, and can even lead to death if they hit vital parts. 

The young man stepped away after returning to his human form. His heart felt satisfied after slaughtering several thugs earlier. As usual, he took all the valuables from his victims. He has a habit of collecting all of his victims' valuables in a hidden place. That evening, he made a promise to go to a cafe to meet someone. Someone who might change his life forever. 

"Hello Joe. So shall we meet tonight?" Someone contacted the young man on his cell phone. 

"Of course Max. I've been waiting a long time for that. Make sure he comes along too. I'm tired of all this." 

"Okay, let's hope he can help you solve your problem."

"Can you describe the look of the book so I can help you?" 

"As far as I remember, its cover was thick black, the book itself was not too thick, only about 50 sheets. It was the size of A5 paper. On the front cover it written 'A NEW HOPE' and it written in gold color" 

"Okay, I'll start from there." 

Yuri and Williams started looking for the book among Asada's belongings. Since Yuri's father died, all of his things have been kept in his workshop. Neither Yuri nor his mother wanted to throw it away but also didn't want to see it all the time because his mother always cried when she remember of her husband. In the end, Yuri decided to move it to the workshop. 

"Is this what you are looking for?" 

Yuri handed over a shabby black book as if it had been soaked by rainwater. On the cover written the words A NEW ERA, HOPEFULLY.

"Oh my God! This is the one we're looking for. Huh, why is it so crumpled? A book as important as this should be taken care properly. Oh, I hope the contents aren't damaged…" 

"But how come the title is different?" "Hehe, I seem to have remembered wrong. I only skimmed through it at the time. Your father always recorded detailed things in every research and experiment. He recorded them on some paper which he picked up at random. At the end of the research he would collect the notes, analyze them, and then conclude them . Then his analysis and conclusions are summarized in this book. Thank you, Yuri. I'll borrow it for a while. Anyway, for a while, you can just use the money on my debit card. After she recovers, we'll work on work problems." 

After handing over a piece of paper for the PIN of debit card, Williams immediately left the house.

In a cafe, Joe the werewolf was sitting while enjoying a cup of black coffee. He had been waiting for Max for almost an hour. Max says there is a friend of his who can cure mutants. 

Joe is basically a good person. He does seem to have a double personality. On the one hand, he is an ordinary human being who needs lovers, friends, partners, affection and so on. But on the other hand, he is a werewolf who is always thirsty for blood. 

He had lost a lover and friends before. His werewolf side is sometimes difficult for him to control. When his girlfriend makes him angry, his werewolf side appears and makes his lover scream in fear and spontaneously run as fast as she can. The werewolf instinct is a hunter, seeing his prey running makes him more excited. With just one strike, his lover's tiny body died miserably. Joe cried uncontrollably, realizing what he had done. 

Likewise, when his friends presented him with a surprise on his birthday. At that time, his friend wanted to throw him into a pool after saying happy birthday. Unfortunately, a friend of his who happened to hold the upper part of his body slipped so that Joe's head hit the floor. Joe became angry and in an instant the place turned into a place of mass slaughter. 

Until now, Joe did not dare to have a good relationship with friends or partners. He always kept his distance from other people. Hearing that Max has a friend who can heal his mutant soul is like finding a glimmer of hope. He really wished he could shake off his werewolf side. 

A thin young man and a well-built man approached Joe from behind. The skinny boy, Max, Joe's shoulder rest. 

"Hi Joe. Sorry for the long wait." 

Joe gasped in surprise and turned his head. 

"Oh no problem Max" 

"Introduce this Arthur, he is also a mutant. His power is to neutralize the power of other mutants." 

"Okay, so how are we going to start?" 

"Follow me!" Arthur said, then turned to leave the place.

Yuri took his mother to shop for monthly needs at a supermarket.

"Mom, let's buy all the needs for the next month. Let me pay for it later." 

His mother was shocked and said, "Oh my god Yuri, where did you get the money? Did you steal? Robbed? Or committed other crimes? You shouldn't eat for illegal money, son. It's better for you to die of hunger than to have to eat for a payment for crime." 

"No mom, someone lent me money. I will work for him to return the money. I don't know what his job is, but he seems like a good person." 

"Who is that person, Yuri? Do you know him?" 

"I don't know mom, maybe. He claims to be a friend of Dad. His name is Williams." 

"Hmmm... I don't know him. Maybe I know the person but don't know the name. Sometimes your father introduces his friends, but I don't really remember their names. I only remember a few." 

"He said they were both co-workers on the same project four years ago." 

"Hopefully he's not a bad person." 

The two of them began to take several groceries, such as rice, sugar, milk, salt, some instant spices, soap, detergent and cosmetics. After Yuri paid using a debit card, they went home using Yuri's favorite motorcycle. Motorcycle 18th birthday present from his father.

When he got home, there were two people waiting on the terrace. A man and a woman are sitting. The man is Williams, whereas the woman looks like a sick person.

Seeing Yuri's arrival, Williams rushed to him. "Yuri, I think you should help me. I don't understand what your father wrote. Look at her condition, it's getting worse."

"Mom, this is Williams, dad's friend I told you before."

"Oh yeah, I'm Yuri's mother. We'd better talk inside."

"Okay Mrs. Asada…"

They went inside. Yuri helped Williams support the woman.

Suddenly, when Yuri's hand touched her, it was like something was creeping and crawled through his hand and spreading all over Yuri's body. For a moment, Yuri looked like he had a seizure. His body was shaking violently. His eyes turned all black. Williams and Yuri's mother were shocked to see that scene. Five seconds later, Yuri and the woman fainted.

Williams asked Mrs. Asada, "What's wrong with Yuri? Is he often like this?"

"No, this is the first time. He has never like this before in his whole life."

The woman slowly opened her eyes. Her body still looked limp. She looks confused. She looked at her hands, held her cheeks, examined her whole body, then stood up and said with a big smile, "I'm healed. I'm healed, uncle. I'm really healed. You did it, uncle, thank you. Uncle, you really are the best."

Williams just gaped and confused. How could she recover when he had not yet had time to make the formula?

"What happened, Mia? I haven't even made the formula yet."

It didn't take long for Yuri to wake up. His eyes had returned to normal. But his whole body looked limp. His head felt dizzy. His stomach felt queasy. He felt like throwing up. Immediately, he staggered towards the sink and vomited a large amount of purplish-green liquid mixed with blackish blood clots. It had a pungent stench and emitted a puff of smoke. Everyone in the room was shocked.

After a while gathering energy, Yuri began to ask, "Who is Jessica?"

The woman was surprised. "How do you know that name?"

"What is it that you can deal with her?"

"She's an idol woman on my campus. All the boys want her, even some are willing to become her slaves just to get her smile. All the girls are jealous of her. Not only beautiful but also popular. But behind that, her personality is very evil. She will kill anyone who opposes or annoys her."

"At that time, I accidentally caught her doing a ritual - and I don't know what it was - in an archive storage room that was rarely visited by people. What was clear was that there was a picture of a pentagram and a goat's head on the floor. She was standing in the middle of it and her mouth was like she was reciting a spell. Then, I accidentally bumped into a pile of files and fell down. I immediately ran when she turned and threw something at me. I was relieved she didn't come after me. I hope she didn't recognize me then."

"She gave you a curse. I don't know how, but when I touched you the curse seemed to be absorbed into my body. And finally I spat it out."

Williams smiled, "So that's your ability, Yuri. You can heal the effects of the curse."

"So it's true that I'm a mutant?"
