When we live a life that was never destined to be ours, we become haughty and feel superior. Others who don't have that much luck with their life become lower life forms for us, only made to amuse and work for us. Or that is what my family did. They said we are nobility, we are the top of the food chain, even the king who stands above use has to bow before us when we want something.

Laughable.

I saw the truth behind our world, behind our power, behind our family, behind me. Neither am I better then the average guy on the street, neither am I worse than him. The only difference between us is just one small thing called will.

The will to change, to strife forward.

That is when I took a step forward and destroyed the only thing that connected me to the average Joe on the street. I gave away my humanity and changed the body of flesh for a symbiotic and synthetic machine. Oil for blood, steel for bones, and a quantum mini computer for a brain.

The normal ending would have been with me losing the feeling of being alive, losing my emotions and the connected filters to it, but this never happened. Instead I felt alive, for once I felt my heart beating. My mortal body was just a shell I had to throw off to finally find the meaning of my life.

Even though I was called failed creation, forsaken by my own partners. Never have I forgotten the feeling of my first breath through the synthetic lungs. I had all functions of a normal living person, but the needs were no longer there. Food was just a luxury for the taste, as I never had to eat to exist. Air was not needed, the only reason I still took a breath from time to time was the old habit of my mortal shell. Water was just a auxiliary coolant, as I never had to thirst again, due to my body being able to absorb the needed water out of the air.

My heart, was unlike others. Never to be refueled or maintained. Cells were my biological base, Nanos were now my synthetic base. Unlimited adaptability, unlimited energy, just one weakness.

Mass.

To change, to adapt I had to absorb. No matter what matter, just as long as it was solid. Even bio matter could be used.

Yes, they called me monstrosity. A creation that broke the law of man and returned to the law of nature. Only the most adaptable  will survive. Even if they destroy me to just a single cell...

I will...

Return.

My revenge... Will be bloody, that is one thing I am sure off. So be prepared, I am hunting, and you... could be my next prey.
