Biology of Monsters

Biology of Monsters

' Regarding monsters, the first thing to consider is their tenacity, second is their cunning, and third should be their cruelty. ' What defines monsters? Nothing in particular, the definition is blurred by both apathy and empathy for those beasts... anything sentient that means harm is a monster, that is what researcher Dr. Umbra has decided. Dr. Umbra has decided one other thing, ethics will no longer be considered. _________ Set in a world purged of humans... Violent Monsters, Demons, and Ferocious Beasts have take over. The strong rule, and the weak die. That is just how it is on this new world, but with every disaster comes survivors. Evolution was not about to abandon Humanity. The stragglers of civilization drastically changed and developed to survive. Some Humans who bunkered down in giant halls of stone and iron became smaller and more hardy to survive the cramped environment and limited diet. Some Humans hide amongst the trees, their reflexes and perception vastly improved to suit the hostile environment. Some Humans became monsters themselves, after all if you can't beat them, join them. Though, there remains one. Either through some form of Immortality Drug, Complex Bio-Machinery, or maybe even Magic, there remains one Human. Hidden away under some corner of the Earth lies Umbra's laboratory, a bunker made of alloy strong enough to resist extinction. Alone, he continued his studies on and on... until finally, he deemed the world safe enough to leave once more. Maybe now he will have some live samples of these so called ' Monsters '.

Yuuko Ito is a 19 year old boy who's dream is to be a famous musician. yet, he is not an ordinary collage boy. One day, he met a man that claims to be searching for a saxophone player for his friend bar. But the man was actually a member of a famous organization that is known to be dangerous. Hidden in his desire, Yuuko unlocks memories of his past and finds out who he actually is with a new found power. "Hey you fine?" I whip my head around. Franticly searching for the voice owner and standing there i found a man. Said man was wearing a dark blue coat, covering a cream colour button up shirt with a brown turtle neck, black ribbons tied up in his neck connecting trought the button up shirt. He have black long pants with dark brown shoes. His brown hair was short–it looks fluffy and straight at the same time. The bangs look poorly cutted as the one is longer than the other. His brown eyes look sharp and mytical yet despite his beauty, the dirty background alley ruin the picture. I quickly rub my eye after observing the man. My white sweater sleeve immidietly was wet in tears and snot. "Um....who are you?" I say, trying to sound softly and un-crying like. "I just heard you crying, are you ok ma'am?" 'Ma'am? Is he talking to someone else?' I look around and saw noone is in the alley except me and him. 'Of course, no lady will be in this dirty alley anyway' "...did he think i was a girl?" I talk outloud. I quickly put my palm in my mouth looking at him, his face change into a gapping idiot after he heard what i just said. "Um...your...a...guy?" The man say, his face look embarress. I just nod looking at him–i relizes there was a scar in his cheeks. It was distracting, the scar trails trought his right eye covering his white skin. "Um...anyway–are you okay....man?" "Yeah.....im okay....uh thanks...stranger...." i answer awkwardly. I was still wearing my uniform and hat. I probably look stupid right now "Did you get fired?" The man quickly say. I flinch back as he was near me–closer than before. "Um...yeah..." i fidget my finger and step back a little looking at the side. "Well there is this bar that need someone to play the trumphet or sexaphone, can you play any of those?"

Biohuman

Biohuman

Project BIOHUMAN was supposed to be a quiet project that tested to see if they could create superhuman beings. The Creator, Dr. Vang Chang created the Numbers, ten individuals who took the BIOHUMAN serum and came out different. Countries caught wind of this and demanded the Creator to disperse the serum to strengthen the humans. The BIOHUMAN serum was shot into the sky and dispersed all over the world. Little did anyone know, it changed Earth and everything living on it. Plants, animals and humans were genetically changed forever. 25 years later, the Creator's son, Lee Seng Chang is a high school student without any Biohuman powers. The serum had given him almost no Dark Matter and only increased his overall human abilities to a super-Biohuman level. Even with that, the power standing only made him seen as the weakest amongst everyone. Picked on because of his powerless status, Lee Seng was left by all of his friends and labeled powerless. He desperately tries to keep going with a smile on his face. Lee Seng one day gets an option from a man with a Fox mask. "Awaken your power but at a huge price." Lee Seng takes the deal and watches as the world he knew quickly changes and isn't what it seems. Put under the pressures of his Father's status and his new profound power and changes, Lee Seng battles the demons within him and the unknown coming for him. ---- Thanks to my friend, lechingu, for his help with the Cover Art!
