Shaele

In the distant future, mankind is on the brink of extinction.  Standing atop the rubble of their apocalyptic future, an old man, tired of his centuries-old existence finally managed to find a piece of hope back in the past, before all happened. A young boy, the last shard of light carries within him the last hope of humanity.

He may be the one that could finally break the cycle, he may be the one that could finally overcome this eternal curse, this dreaded organism that he himself and many others before him tried to control but ultimately failed. 

With all his remaining strength, he completes the ritual that will hopefully alter the destiny mankind is about to face. 

Unfortunately for the boy, the weight, the burden he will have to carry will be immense. Can he overcome the hatred he will be subjected to and stand up from whence nobody should be able to? 

This is the story of Lucien Shaw, the Wretched One.

Lucien tried his best to not reveal the immense torment he was under. He did his best to swallow the urge to cry out, and instead clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, so hard that a thin trail of blood began to slither from the inside of his palm and make its way towards the ground.

At the very least, the intense torture, the overbearing, sharp pain did not last long. Although it felt like hours, in reality, it was at most, a minute before the sharpness slowly, gradually receded leaving behind only a slight numbing discomfort only.

At first, as his senses calmed down, Lucien opened his fists and watched as his [Viral Regeneration] trait kicked in automatically and with a speed visible to the naked eye, healed up the small wound his fingernails bore on his soft skin.

Still, as he next looked over the window, and displayed the System's eerie-looking screen over it, his frown vanished, leaving behind only a thin smile.
