In the whole of the world you would not be able to find anyone who did not know about the biggest achievement of the research society known as 'Regent'. Responsible for the development of new weapons for the Monarch as well research on augments and cybertronics. What the people didn't know however was that they were also responsible for the development of 'human weapons' capable of using magic and esp.
At Regent's branch office in the small town of Remlar at the easternmost part of the world was the biggest kept secret of the Monarch. The building took up a vast majority of the town's space and was very plain looking, almost like a giant warehouse almost. But the building's layout actually extended almost a kilometer underground and many of it's floors were shaped like a labyrinth with many security measures put in place.
At the very bottommost floor was a facility unlike a prison in nature with many small holding cells containing a bed, desk, toilet, shower and speaker. The back wall of each cell contained a small, black cube that constantly emitted a low hum.
The one thing other than the cube that felt out of place in the room was a young boy who was currently chained against the wall underneath the cube. He looked to be around fourteen years old with short silver hair and skin as white as snow. The only other thing that could be seen of him was the long white coat and pants he was wearing as well as white boots and gloves. The chains themselves were appearing from the air without attaching themselves to nothing but empty air.

Every so often the chains would rattle softly and the noise would echo loudly within the room like thunder. The soft breathing sounds coming from the boy would grow rough every so often before calming down and stopping entirely before becoming rough again. Pained moans were always drowned out by the rattling chains and no struggling could be seen despite how awful the boy's state looked.
Heavy footsteps began to drift through the crack under the door, echoing loudly like a giant was walking this way. After what must have felt like like eternity to the chained boy the footsteps suddenly stopped and a whirring sound could be heard.
"..." The boy's head twitched and he raised his head to look towards the door as it gently slid open revealing a man in military clothing wearing a visored helmet and carrying some kind of automatic rifle in his hands.
"Number 7441B. It's testing time." The man slowly walked into the cell and produced a small syringe from a pocket of his clothes and proceeding to inject it's contents into the young boy's neck. But the way the man did so was obviously not normal because he did not use his own hands to do so. He used the esp known as telekinesis.
The light in the boy's eyes slowly dimmed until his head slowly lulled and the chains slowly disappeared into the void and the boy fell to the ground with a thud.
"..." He slowly rose to his feet and stood still awaiting orders from the man.
"Proceed to testing chamber twenty three A and await further instructions." After the man gave these orders the young boy slowly shambled forwards and out of the room.
"..." The man shivered once before sighing and slowly following after the boy. "I'll never get used to this thing will I?"
