In two sides of a big dark room there were hundreds of prisons.

Inside such a similar prison was a little boy who looked like 6-7 years old had his eyes closed.

The boy had short black hair. He had a very delicate and good looking face.

If there was one defect then how the boy seemed very thin as if he was a malnourished.

Suddenly the door of the room opened and two muscular guys followed a thin guy with messy hair.

He walked a little and reached the boy's prison. Looking at the boy, the thin man squinted his eyes and said

"A unique specimen indeed.... What's the number."

One of the muscular guys immediately replied with a flattering look on his face

"1278, Sir. Number 28 of latest batch."

"Hmm... Let's skip the 27 children. Bring him to my lab... Forget it I'll take him personally."

The two guards hurriedly opened the prison and woke up the child. Soon the child woke up.

Immediately all three of them fell into silence. It was because they were mesmerized by his eyes.

"How... How beautiful." murmured the thin guy.

The boy's eyes seemed as if it contained the truth of the universe. His light blue eyes with his delicate face made him seem like a heaven's child.

"What are you waiting for!? Quickly bring him!!" The thin guy immediate yelled at the guards.

Quickly recovering from reverie one of the guard immediately held the child by his neck and pulled him out of the prison.

Seeing this, the thin guy in a rage immediately slapped the muscular guy.

"What the hell are you doing!?!? He is not like other products!! Treat him carefully, you idiots!"

The boy all along stayed silent. He wasn't able to remember anything.

Perhaps recognising the situation, he chose to remain silent and continued observing the surroundings.

Soon he was bought to a lab. From pills in jade bottles to various unknown equipments, the room was a little messy.

The two guards placed the boy on a bed and immediately left.

"How astonishing... how unique..." The thin guy muttered while caressing his skin.

Without any warning he immediately sent a qi slash while caressing his skin.

"Arrrrggggghhhhhhh...." the boy yelled in pain because of pain but the man had a look of fascination in his eyes.

It was because from where he cut gold colored blood was flowing from that place.

He immediately started using different types of equipments to test his theories on him.

All that remained in the room was mad laughter and hoarse yelling.

***

In a small yet well furnished room a boy around 10 years old was sleeping on the bed with blanket covering half of his body.

If there was something disturbing then it was how three fingers were missing from his left hand.

How almost every part of the body was bandaged. How his beautiful blue eyes were currently lifeless.

Yes, by now 4-5 years passed since he entered the prison. Day after day he suffered tortures from those mad researchers.

What started with just one thin guy, now involves almost all the researchers of this facility.

Every batch has 50 children. When he came they were the 24th batch, which were 1250-1300 numbers.

But he was the only survivor from that batch now. The rest couldn't handle the cruel torture and were all dead in less than half a year since they arrived.

The door of the room opened and one muscular person came and ordered

"Come, we have to go now."

The guy had no expressions when looking at the boy.

This was one of those men who came with the messy haired man those years back to pick him up.

Despite being together for years he showed no emotions.

"Where is... my... today's... food?" the boy asked in a broken voice.

In fact what they gave was not food but drugs that would increase their survival rate.

"After you have done your today's duty." the guard replied indifferently.

The boy knew duty was just a fancy word for experiment.

The boy nodded with a blank look on his face. In fact he was very intelligent.

He understood today's experiment might be life threatening, and that might be the reason why they aren't willing to waste any food before his survival was confirmed.

The child put out the blanket and put his legs down.

But that wasn't his own legs. These legs were created of some unknown metals.

In fact 3 years back he tried he tried to run from this facility.

Too bad he was just a mortal whereas the guards of the facility were warriors.

They immediately caught him. This incident angered the higher ups.

As punishment he was tortured for three days and then his legs were cut as his punishment.

A guard was also placed to keep eyes on him since then.

It was only a year back when they saw his obedient performance did they put these artificial legs.
