[▪︎ Virgil's Pov▪︎]

I woke up later in the day with a mild headache after what happened yesterday in the lab.

Imagine being exploded to bits just a few moments ago and instead of being dead as in dead with no conscienceness, you wake up as a baby in a lab connected to an IV drip filled with a blue liquid.

The annoying part of it all was that I was being examined by a group of doctors with one weirdo staring at me like that pedophile clown in that anime.

I've watched and read a lot of fiction to know that I've been reincarnated. I don't know how this happened as it's logically and scientifically impossible but I'm an adaptable person and there is more time to discover how it happened.

I didn't expect to be in danger so soon, like in one point I'm staring at the man who was obviously in charge judging by his and everyone's body language and in the other, I was about to be gutted.

Everything was happening too fast so I panicked. When I felt threatened, I instinctively pulled something at the center of my brain and screamed, sending a strong concussive force across the room sending everyone and everything flying.

I passed out shortly after that and that brings me to this exact moment.

I was in an incubator in a different room altogether. It was small and had no one except me inside making the place quiet, the only sound in the room was the pulse rate machine that was recording my vitals.

Every corner of the room was painted white, with white walls, ceiling, and flooring. The room was spotless and clean.

I knew that I was currently an experimental subject and I wasn't bothered by it because through it I've gotten superpowers.

Like actual SUPERPOWERS, I don't know which world or universe I'm in but I know I will be able to at least protect myself when I mature.

One thing I forgot to mention is the fact that after my power outburst I could feel myself getting smarter and more intelligent.

Some things I learnt and threw away because of my specialization are reappearing and my thought process was faster than usual.

I couldn't wait to test my powers and study this strange serum that was being sent into my system every second.

Humanity in this universe must be very advanced to create such a thing, or the geniuses on this 'Earth' are way more superior than the geniuses in my reality.

I was broken out of my thoughts when two men entered the room. One of them was the person who was probably about to gut me, the other guy though was someone new.

He was an African American man who was probably in his thirties. He was dressed in a black suit with a short neat haircut. He had a certain gait that portrayed someone in authority.

I pretended to be asleep and listened to their conversation.

"So this is Virgil huh, he certainly looks special."

He said when the duo arrived in front of Virgil.

"Yes Mr. Edgar, I know you have received a general report concerning what he did but there is more to him than that."

Doctor Vogelbaum replied with a smile.

" Oh is that so? Enlighten me then."

Mr. Edgar said with an interested tone.

"As you know, Compound V gives its user superpowers as well as enhances the user's general constitution to superhuman levels. It doesn't provide an intelligence boost or increase the user's mental prowess.

Virgil on the other hand has increased intelligence and mental prowess that continues to improve as time passes.

His brain activity is unlike anything we've ever seen. With time he will surpass Einstein, Frederick Vought, and the other geniuses of this world."

Doctor Vogelbaum explained excitedly.

"So what you are trying to say is that we will have a super with the mental capabilities that surpass the likes of geniuses like the proprietor given time? This is incredible."

Mr. Edgar said with an incredulous tone.

"Yes, it is, I tried to see if we can replicate what happened to his brain but I haven't gotten any results. I think his intellect is directly linked to his ability so the chances of us producing another him are close to nil."

The Doctor said.

"It doesn't matter if we can't produce more of him, what matters is that we have someone who can become the company's brain. With John being our most powerful weapon and Virgil being the brain, this company will be able to do more than what we projected in the near future."

"That's correct."

.

.

The duo then discussed for a while and left the room, finally leaving me alone to think.

I've gotten a lot of information from their conversation. For one, this world has a similar history and culture to my home world so the possibility of this being a parallel universe is very high.

Secondly, geniuses that existed there also existed here, the only difference is this Frederick Vought person who I can assume to be the creator of this liquid called 'Compound V'.

Thirdly, it seems there are already superpowered individuals roaming around America in service to this company. They also made mention of someone called John, who I can say is this company's secret Weapon.

To conclude, I can say this world is very dangerous. But I believe with time I can be powerful enough to act without restraint, and coupled with my new intellect there is so much more I can do.

For now, I need to patiently increase my strength and gain knowledge about this world in order to plan better.

I have to gain more attention from this company to gain resources. I will start with Doctor Vogelbaum, who I know is more like me in terms of scientific philosophy.

My goals were as follows:

A. Get the attention of the company's executives.

B. Use the resources provided to learn and train my abilities as much as possible because if the ability I demonstrated is what I think it is then nothing can stand in my way.

I'm not going to be the person I was in my old reality, I'm never going to be someone who can easily be disposed of and replaced at anyone's convenience.

In this world I'm not going to limit myself with anything, I'm going to be the one Who will decide the useless and the useful!

I'm going to be the one in control this time, I'm the one everyone will pay respect to when they see me, I'm the one who is going to rule this world!
