Chapter 1
Leo was convinced he wasn’t human. Maybe partially convinced? Either way, he was very sure he wasn't all human at least. From the very red color of his eyes, his body temperature being very above the norm, as he could boil a pot of water by holding it for 20ish minutes, he was damn sure he wasn’t your average human if human at all. This was definitely not at all compounded by the floating, bluish screen with red flowing script hovering in front of him

“Dark matter infusion? What is all this?” Leo muttered under his breath, trying to swipe the screens away like an annoying fly. His hand passed through though, and the screen only rippled a little.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
“Ugh, Guess I should schedule that eye doctor's appointment soo-” Leo started as he turned to continue cooking dinner. And then the world went white
< — >
Leo came back to himself floating in a black void that felt oddly dense. Trying to turn around and inspect his surroundings, he found he couldn’t control his body. He felt oddly detached from the rest of his body. The best way he could describe it was the fuzzy disconnect feeling you got when you were wrapped up in bed with the sun streaming down on your face. Except the fuzzy feeling was replaced with pressure. “What is going on? This has to be the weirdest experience ever, did I OD on something? No, what would I have eaten that had something in them? Maybe the brownies Oliver gave me? I Knew those were suspicious! I’m going to throttle that guy when I get out of this!” Wait, what the hell, is the pressure increasing?!” Leo frantically tried to think of solutions as the pressure surrounding his mind, and body quickly grew to the point of discomfort, and then downright pain and it just kept growing. A screen flashed into being in front of him
All the pressure disappeared and Leo mind “reconnected” and the feeling of disconnect vanished.
“Huh, that wasn't so bad-” the words had barley left his mouth when burning hot lines of pain traveled along his whole body, the pressure returned, but Leo was too busy feeling like a poorly trained dog was performing surgery on his innards with a legion of burning hot needles, all the while a gorilla was pounding on his head.
Leo had started screaming when the process started
His voice went hoarse when the pressure felt like it would liquify his organs
His bodies convulsions broke his ribs a little while after
He fainted after that
Leo’s last thought before slipping away into the release of unconsciousness was “my mom did tell me my big mouth would get me in trouble someday”
An unknown amount of time later, Leo woke up in the same field of utter black as before, except there was no pressure and he could move freely. As he moved to look around, a deep throbbing pain sprouted from his chest “dammit that hurts” Leo hissed through gritted teeth “looking back, I did feel some of my ribs break. Although for them to have healed this much already, how long have I been out?” as he waited for something else to happen, Leo decided to distract himself from the pain in his ribs by looking back on the day before the supposed “Integration”. Leo had gotten back to his apartment from his friends house for Christmas break and had gotten started on the load of homework his professors had so kindly decided to dump on them over break. He had called his parents, definitely not procrastinating. (Leo suppressed his worry for them. they were influential -and wealthy- enough to make it through this) they talked for a while, before Leo had gotten quite hungry and started cooking some ramen and hot chocolate, where halfway through, the integration had kindly interrupted. “Damn, my hot chocolate! If whatever this destroys my hot chocolate, I'm going to burn the damn thing to ashes!” As if summoned by Leo’s angry internal rant, a screen appeared
“What the-” Leo barely had time to read the prompts before he was sucked forwards into a wall of blinding white light.
