The year 3001 

In an underground bunker somewhere in Africa

a man stood in front of a contraption made of metal and glass contained within was the epitome of human and alien technology, a youth floated within in a fetal position, he had pitch-black hair in tangles, even in a fetal position he was tall with a mesomorph physique, his skin brown with a warm orange undertone and his face angular with a pronounced jawline even with his eyes closed his features were solemn.

"how long before transfer?"

The man who stood in front of the youth asked, he was a very tall man almost reaching 7ft he had a stern look but his eyes betrayed his anxiousness, he was dressed in black leather armor, on his back was a beautiful crystal-like greatsword with no sheath in the this brightly lit bunker the sword shined in a blue mesmerizing hue. Behind the man, excited silver-skinned men in lab coats ran around monitoring the condition of the youth, through a full-body hologram they monitored his vitals and synchronization rate. The chief of research a short man in his sixties with a weathered look replied 

"five minutes Edgard" 

The chief Yusuke was not as excited as his subordinates, he had led the research for the past decade, and for the twenty years before that he had made his way up from a humble naive researcher to the taciturn man he was now, he knew he and his team would not survive the night but he did not care, his life didn't matter much.

'why did Egard change so much?'

the only regrets he had was him being unable to piece the puzzle out, he remembered when the project started they were all equals, men who escaped from their homes with the hope of one day returning, they came together under the leadership of one man 'Edgard' he was a charismatic and jovial young man at the time with dreams of grandeur and ideas that ignited their passions and hopes to one day rise above their saviors turned master. He had too many conflicting memories of different events.

'was Egard truly his name ?'

'which of his memories was real?'

'Was it all fabricated?'

When you've had your memories subtly manipulated for decades as he had he could no longer trust himself or anyone. 

if there was anything he was sure of at this moment was his imminent death and that the desire to destroy Edgard's plans was truly his own, Edgard was a truly meticulous man to control and supervise a project of this scale for over 3 decades was simply mind-boggling but for the past month, he was distracted and less thorough in his inspections maybe it was because the project was coming to an end, Yasuke did not care why he only cared about thwarting Edgard's plans. He was glad Edgards was distracted his machinations would have since been discovered if not, he knew for sure after analyzing his memories that everyone in the room apart from Edgard were strangers to him, his original team members somewhere along the line replaced and killed, a man like Egard would not leave a loose end, they were loose ends, right? it was all so confusing.

Yusuke did not care much for the strangers in the room at this point, their faces almost alien to him, he felt detached from everything and everyone except Edgard and Adam, Edgard had to die, there was no doubt about it, he felt no hate for the man only an all-consuming need to repay decades worth of debt, he had no plans to survive, he was mind fucked and you can't unfuck a mind. Edgard would pay for the colossal mind fuckery that he was sure of, a skrill mind had its limit.

"Booting sequence initiated" 

"subsystem coming online"  

"All vitals Green"

Project adam had achieved the impossible a perfect blend of human, skrill, and machine. Adam, in theory, had no bottlenecks or limits in terms of essence intake and distribution, its constitution alone rivaled a 3-star essence warrior which was two stars higher than an adult skrill before essence intake, an A.I with over 500 petaflop processing power controlling millions of nanobots made up a complex system that would ensure constant cell regeneration, peak performance, controlled mutations, and possible ability awakening, contained within the A.I was also all known knowledge of essence absorption, mutations ability control, and realms. project adam had surpassed their goals. A mere three decades ago they started on the idea of finding a way to enhance humanity's constitution before essence absorption, a task which was seen as almost impossible at the time,  3 decades later they had surpassed the impossible and created a monster.

"time remaining till transfer?"

Edgard turned around and faced the researchers and asked 

"1-minute sir" one of the researchers replied

Edgard smiled he would finally atone, after centuries of oppression and enslavement he had the chance to finally right his wrongs, he stared at his research team, his smile grew wider, he had abducted most of them over the years and brainwashed them into thinking they were human resistance scientist, he couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of it all, the enemy creating the spark of their destruction.

looking back he had come a long way, he was one of the deciding voices who pushed humanity towards the skrill, he once saw them as saviors then decades later as masters, and centuries later as enemies. In the year 2500 they descended to earth in giant crystalline ships, their ambassador offered a lifeline to the people of a dying planet earth although the terms were shady the council readily accepted, Humans would gain a new planet in exchange they would protect the skrill it wasn't a bad deal at all. The skrill had cleverly deceived us all we thought of them as a peace-loving race who abhorred violence if only we weren't blinded by our personal greed and despair, I was a member of the council who decided to accept their offer and I ardently preached to my constituents to migrate with the skrill. 

I was young and greedy I dreamed of leading my people in this new world, I was tired of the hunger, the richest of men were unable to afford three meals a day in that era, after countless wars between nations the planet was worn and torn, the planet was unable to provide enough to feed its inhabitants, hundreds died from starvation daily.

"fucking conniving creatures" he whispered under his breathe, the sight of them always brought bad memories.

He would kill them after the transfer they had outlived their usefulness, the only good skrill was a dead skrill. He walked towards adam while reaching within for his core, a blazing ball of energy located in his heart, within his core was a blue figure seated in a lotus position this was his ability tree, mind, his ability was diverse giving him the power to erase and create new memories in those weaker than him and also the power to move consciousness. This power had saved him more than a couple of times over the centuries without this power he would not have had the courage to rebel against his master and would still be among the billions of cannon fodder of the skrill army.

He sat in a lotus position right in front of adam and gathered his entire being mind and core and slowly connected reached for the vacuum in adam with his power, when he connected to adam he started to detach from his body, he had changed bodies over a dozen times before so he was prepared for the pain that accompanied the process, he felt a sharp from his legs as he lost all feelings from below the waist, the pain slowly traveled to his neck as he slowly detached, he couldn't stop now. 

 Yusuke took a single step from his position over 50 feet away and arrived behind him like a phantom, this was his chance, he reached for his core and released his shackles they would all die here.
