The Birth
The hour passed by at a shockingly slow pace, much to Dino's annoyance. When the time for his birth or his awakening as he'd taken to calling it; his reason because it sounded cooler than 'being birthed'. Anyhow Dino was thoroughly pissed off.
Despite being pissed off, he began to notice the changes in his body compared to a few months before. He was now the size of a ten or an eleven-year-old, though his musculature was far more advanced than what would normally appear on a child of the same age.
He also noticed that the strength he currently possessed, was much more extensive, compared to the strength he had in his previous life. If he was to guess, his current strength would probably be equal to that of five to ten men; Which considering his still mostly underdeveloped body was monstrous.

Outside Dino's tank.
In a large laboratory in the underground military facility.
-
Doctors rushed backwards and forwards preparing for the birth, of the accumulation of years of hard work and research by multiple doctors and researchers alike. Years of hard work for one perfect specimen. One perfect being. One perfect soldier.
Or so they thought.
Nobody, be it doctor, researcher or military personnel knew what exactly would be coming out of the tank or the consequences they would have to face for trying to play god in the first place.
As military personnel watched on, Doctors and their technicians began to prep the tank for Dino's birth, while the military personnel watched on from behind the glass in the viewing room.
During the prepping of the tank, conversations were going on between the heads of both the military and medical sides of the operation.
The Head of Military operations spoke "How goes the preparations Doc?" he asked in an interested almost over eager tone. "The preparations are going better than expected. The specimen within the tank seems to be far stronger than we originally estimated. Not only is he far stronger but his life signs are stronger than we could have hoped for." He answered in a professional tone, though you could still hear the barely contained excitement in his voice.
"How long until the specimen is birthed?" Inquired the military man, to which the doctor replied. "It should be within the hour. We're just completing some of our final checks and double checking for any potential errors, once they are complete, we'll be ready Admiral."
The Admiral nodded, satisfied with the answer he had received. "Carry on doctor." The doctor nodded and continued with his checks.
The hour passed.
"Admiral?" The doctor asked.
"Yes Doctor?" the Admiral turned to face him.
"The preparations are complete. We can now begin the draining of the tank and the birthing of the specimen."
The Admiral nodded "Commence birthing."
The smiled and nodded.
-
Back with Dino in his tank.
Around the same time.
[Host?]
'Yes Tory?'
[Your birth is now commencing, please prepare yourself]
'Will do, thanks for the heads up.'
[You're most welcome.]
-
Dino lay there as the fluid that had once gave and maintained his life, slowly drained away.
He thought to himself.
'Let the games begin.'
-
The process took a whole thirty minutes to complete. With the fluid that had surrounded him now gone, Dino could feel the cool air of the world outside of the tank seeping in. Despite the fluid being gone, Dino still decided to remain still and keep his eyes tightly shut; trying his damnedest not to draw any unwanted attention.
-
The tank opened, revealing to the people in the laboratory the occupant within. Dino's figured was finally revealed to the observers. The doctors were surprised and mystified. The military personnel were excited but most of all, no one could quite understand how Dino had grown to such an extent.

'Well damn its cold out here.' He thought.
'Hey Tory?'
[Yes host?]
'Is everything now available within the system now?'
[Yes host. Everything is now available for you to view.]
'Well then, what are we waiting for? Open the system please Tory.'
[As you wish.]

Dino looked over the system and was more than a little surprised at what he saw.
'Hey Tory?'
[Yes Host?]
'Why am I so strong? I've just been born.'
[Host was a product of genetic experimentation by the Navy of this earth.]
'The Navy? As in the Navy who patrol the oceans on giant ships?'
[No Host. The Navy I am speaking of, Is the ISA.]
'The ISA?'
[The International Space Alliance of Earth.]
'Well that's interesting but what does that have to do with me?'
[Host is the product of the experiment to make potential super soldiers to fight against the hostile forces, that may endanger Earth.]
'Okaaaaaaaay, now the whole super soldier strength thing makes sense. Tory, what is an Apex Human?'
[An Apex Human is the evolution of a human that goes beyond being human. An Apex Human is stronger, faster and more intelligent than any other ordinary human, just to name a few of their advantages.]
'Oh, that's cool but what are the question marks still doing next to it, in the Race box?'
[Due to the experiment that host was a part of, multiple sets of DNA were inserted into your genome, from many different species. In the future when Host is stronger he may unlock parts of those other species genomes to enhance his own.]
'Hmm, I guess I've got that to look forward too.'
-
Back in the lab.
Dino's ears and senses began to adjust to the hustle and bustle around him.
Machines blipped.
People spoke to each other.
Within a few minutes Dino had adjusted to the noise around him. Not long after he sensed people walking toward him, as he still hadn't opened his eyes, he had no idea who they were.
He silently began to prepare. Wordlessly he spoke to the system.
'Tory, what can i purchase from the shop?'
[Host can purchase skills and abilities from the shop, as well as many other less important items that host may need.]
Dino thought for a moment.
'Tory, Open the shop.'
[With pleasure.]
