I turn my head to the left and see a man standing next to me. He looks so young that I thought he was younger than me, but he is actually 4 years older than me.
The man has a pair of glasses with a pair of brown eyes underneath. He has short, tidy, and slightly spiky black hair. He seems to be 157cm tall and weighs around 44kg. His body is pretty thin and slender, even thinner and shorter than mine. One look at him, and it’s clear that he’s pretty smart, but not because he wears glasses, but because of his outfit. He wears a white lab coat with a pale light green shirt underneath, a pair of light brown trousers, and a pair of black shoes. He looks just like any other regular doctor you find anywhere in a hospital. Nothing else really stands out to me at the moment about how he looks.
“Who are you?” asks me.
“Hm? Are you awake enough to engage in conversations? Oh, what am I talking about! You were calling out to your mother just as I entered this room. Silly me!”
The man walks towards a counter a meter away from me. He grabs and wears a pair of surgical gloves on his hands. He also picks up a pair of surgical goggles and a surgical mask and wears them on his face.
“I am going to conduct an experiment on your mom!”
*!!!*
He suddenly confesses his intention, and his words immediately made me worried.
“What kinda experiment??”
He slowly turns his head towards me and stares into my eyes with an unhealthy obsession with something.
“AN ORGAN TRANSPLANT SURGICAL EXPERIMENT!!” said the man in a high excitement tone.
“WHAT? DON’T TOUCH MY MOTHER!!”
“Oh, relax! This experiment won’t kill your mother at all! Or at least I hope so! EEHH, if she dies, then so be it!”
*GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG*
I immediately shake my body violently on the chair to try to break the steel bindings on my arms and legs in vain. I already know how pointless my struggle is, but I was blinded with rage! I am usually a very calm and collected individual, but hearing someone talk about my mother like this has never happened before in my life. I am beyond infuriated about our current situation.
*GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG*
“LET GO OF ME!! AND DON’T TOUCH MY MOTHER!!”
*GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG*
“LET GO OF ME!! RELEASE ME!! I’LL HURT YOU IF YOU TOUCH MY MOTHER!!”
“Oh, calm down! Relax! I am not gonna touch her body or anything! She’s too old to even be appetizing to me.”
The man walks towards my mother nonchalantly, ignoring my threats to him. He picks up a small surgical saw from the side.
*Wrrrrrrrrrrrr*
And he turns it on. He looks towards me to warn me of something.
“Hey! This might be uncomfortable for you, so you might wanna close your eyes!” said the man with a smile.
*!!!*
As soon as I saw that the man moved the surgical saw towards my mother’s right leg, I began to shake my entire body violently again.
*GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG*
“STOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!! DON’T TOUCH HEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!! STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!”
I shouted so loud that my throat is starting to hurt.
*ZRRRRSSSSHHHHH*
The surgical saw cuts through the skin on my mother’s right shin, and blood starts to spurt out in small amounts.
*Wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
*ZRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH*
“STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!”
*GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG*
I keep shouting and shaking my body violently, but the man continues to ignore me.
The surgical saw went deep and then stopped. The man moves the surgical saw around the leg to completely detach her leg from the rest of her body. Despite this, my mother is still asleep with zero reaction. It seems that my mother has been tranquilized to stay asleep the entire time.
I started sweating and panicking, seeing the horror on my mother’s legs. When I think about how she’s going to walk limply for the rest of her life, my heart becomes even more boiled with rage.
*GRRNG GRRNG GRRNG GRRNG GRRNG GRRNG*
“STOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!! LET GO OF MEEEEEEEEEEE!!! LET GO OF MY MOTHER!! STOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPP!!! YOU ASSHOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”
*ZRRRSSSHHH*
*Wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
The man moved the surgical saw away from my mother’s legs. He turns off the saw and puts it on a counter behind. He rolls back the sleeves of his lab coat, revealing that he wears a watch on his left wrist.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
“She should be awake by now!”
“. . .”
My mother slowly opens her eyes, though I can’t really see her face from here.
*!!!*
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!”
She starts screaming the moment she notices the sharp and painful wound on her right leg.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!”
She screams so loudly that her voice invades my ear so openly, hurting my heart even worse.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!”
She shakes her entire body from the pain, but alas, she cannot break free from the belts that constrain her.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!”
“MOTHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!”
I called out to my mother even louder than before. As I keep screaming to her, the man whispers something to my mother, and then he walks closer towards me without paying any mind to my mother’s painful screeches and expressions. He now stands directly in front of me, resting his lower back against the counter behind.
“I kinda feel guilty now that I actually hear your mother screaming like this! To make things fairer, I’m gonna do you a service!”
*GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG*
I did not respond to him and just continued to shake my entire body more violently than before.
I swear! The moment I break free, the first thing I’m gonna do is choke the hell out of him until he begs me to spare his life! And even then, I will not grant him this wish just like the way he doesn’t grant us ours!
IT’S ONLY FAIR THAT WAY!
ONE WHO ACTS UNJUSTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER DOESN’T DESERVE JUSTICE THEMSELVES!!
“RELEASE ME THIS INSTANT!! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU SICK FREAK!!”
“Oh, c’mon! This is just normal surgery! I’ve done way worse things than this! No need to overreact this much!”
. . .
I couldn’t believe what I just heard.
Overreact?
I am overreacting?
MY MOTHER, WHO HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF ME AND NURTURED ME UP TO THIS POINT WITH SO MUCH CARE AND LOVE, IS BEING MULTILATED BY SOMEONE FOR NO CONCRETE REASON, AND HE CALLED ME OVERREACTING?
THAT IS IT!!
AS SOON AS I GET OUT OFF THIS ACURSED BINDINGS, I’LL TORTURE THE FUCK OUT OF HIM!!
NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE BEGS OR CRIES, I WILL NEVER STOP!
I’LL MAKE SURE HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW!!
I AM SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER WISHED HARM ON ANYONE, BUT THIS ASSHOLE RIGHT HERE IS GONNA BE THE FIRST IN MY LIFE!! IT’S A PREMIERE!! AND I AM GONNA ENJOY EVERY SECOND OF IT!!
TO HELL WITH THIS RETARDED LOOKING ASSHOLE!!
I’LL RIPPED HIM APART!!
I SWEAR!!
“Anyway! I’m gonna at least tell you my purpose for bringing you here!”
*GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG*
“LET GO OF ME YOU ASSHOLE!! LET GO OF MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”
I keep shaking my body on the chair, while my mother’s screams have started to die out. She has started to get accustomed to her wound.
“So, remember that girl at the spa lobby? That was my previous victim! Though the experiment was a failure!”
*!!!!*
As soon as he revealed who that young lady was, I stopped screaming for a bit. It seems like this is such an elaborate plan that he thought out to achieve some kind of purpose for himself.
“You see, I am a Nobel award-winning scientist who constantly had scientific breakthroughs throughout my career since I was 15 years old.”
*GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG*
“LET GO OF MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! LET ME GO YOU ASSHOLE!!”
“So basically, I became very famous really quickly! But it all came down the drain last year!”
The man starts talking about his past. He also picks up a glass of coffee from the counter behind him. He takes a sip of his coffee leisurely, and that sight gets my heart boiling even more.
“RELEASE ME RIGHT NOW!! YOU FUCKFACE!! LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”
*GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG*
I continue to scream and shake my body in vain. I ignored anything he said, just like he ignored anything I said.
“My Nobel prize award was revoked, and my papers that acknowledged me as a legit researcher were revoked by the UNO, United Nations Organization! ALL BECAUSE I PROPOSED A BRILLIANT IDEA, THAT WOULD’VE ADVANCED OUR CIVILIZATION BY A MARGIN, YET THEY CALLED THEM INHUMANE AND UNETHICAL!!” said the man with anger, gripping the glass of coffee on the handle harder, and I started to see his veins appearing on his hand.
*GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG GRRNGG*
“RELEASE ME YOU SICK FUCK!! RELEASE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”
“THEY TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME!! I NO LONGER HAVE ANY BUDGET TO PERFORM ANY RESEARCH OR EXPERIMENT!! SERIOUSLY, FUCK THOSE OLD FUCKS IN THE UNO!! FUCK THEM, AND I HOPE THEY ALL DIE HORRIBLE DEATHS!!”
“LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”
I continue to scream that my throat hurts, yet he continues to ignore me, and he keeps talking about his past, completely unbothered by my intense screaming.
“Thankfully, I found someone in the Underworld who promised me money as long as I could sell organs or fresh bodies to them! Fast forward to today, and everything works out perfectly! I no longer have the fame and popularity I used to have, but now I have even more money than before! So now I can perform any kind and any type of research on my own without worrying about the UNO breathing down my neck every chance they get!”
“LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”
“The research idea I proposed is about transplanting a body part of a Believer to a Non-Believer and seeing if the Faith power of the Believer would be transferred into the Non-Believer, thus making them a new Believer with the same Faith power!! HAHAHAHAHA!! ISN’T THAT INTERESTING? THAT INTRIGUES YOU TOO, RIGHT?”
*!!!*
I stopped screaming after his last sentence. If what he’s saying is true, that means he’s trying to transplant a body part of my mother into me, turning me into a Believer in turns. This sounds so messed up and disgusting to me. The idea that I’m gonna inherit my mother’s Faith power at the cost of her body parts almost makes me puke. It sounds purely wrong. Who even has the mind to propose such a thing?? UNO was right to confiscate his right as a researcher. Serves him right!
“This whole idea came from a rumor I heard years ago! So there’s this phenomenon where if a Believer dies and they have a strong feeling to bestow that power to someone nearby, they will lose their Faith power upon their death, and the person the Believers think of will gain that same power. However, according to the rumors regarding this rare occurrence, no one knows what causes this to happen, and that every Faith Power that was bestowed upon the new person became an Armament Type, no matter what their typing previously was. Like, for example, a Fire Elemental Believer’s Faith power would get transferred into someone else, but they become an Armament type. A weapon of some kind will make that new person be able to wield the powers of its prior user. What kind of weapon they ended up with seems to be random. There’s not a clue of what might determine that!”
“. . .”
I stopped screaming and shaking my body despite my rage towards his asshole. What he’s saying is very strange and interesting at the same time. I’ve never heard of this from anywhere before.
“And there are other rumors where their Faith power became an Armament on its own without anyone nearby. So it seems like as long as the Believer has a strong desire or regret when they die, their Faith power stays in this world! This phenomenon has no name, but I unofficially name it, Relic Faith power! Truly fitting, don’t you think?”
“. . .”
I don’t know what to say anymore. He kept ignoring me, no matter how many times I screamed and raged. It’s like he doesn’t see us as any human beings anymore. It’s clear by now that we’re simply lab rats to him.
“And so, we come to today! I’ve been trying for almost a year at this point to successfully recreate that phenomenon!”
He walks closer to me and talks directly into my face.
“CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE CAN SOMEHOW CONTROL THIS PHENOMENON? CAN YOU? HAHAHHAHAHAHHAA!! I AM SO EXCITED!! THIS IS SO UNHEARD OF. WE’RE GONNA ELEVATE THE ENTIRE HUMANITY WITHIN THIS SMALL LAB, AND THAT THOUGHT ALONE GETS ME SO EXCITED!! HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAAA!!!”
He was talking to me so carelessly close that he forgot about the boiling rage and hatred I had towards him.
*CHOMP*
*ZRAAASSSSHHH*
*!!!*
So, I do what anyone normally would in this situation. I open my mouth and close my jaw as hard as I can to bite his right eye and pluck it out of its socket as violently as possible.
