In the city of Seattle, it was raining cats and dogs with a few claps of lighting and a rumble of thunder. In a nearby cafe, Miyahira was sitting down drinking his coffee while looking at his laptop with a few research projects proposals given by his management team.
Although he is 17 years old and looks like a 12-year-old, he is an intelligent child and inherited his parent's business which is a pharmaceutical company that landed as 2nd in the entire city, it also claims millions of dollars from taxpayers. His parents died in a car accident two years ago, leaving him with his three younger siblings.
Lucky for him is that the company and the board stayed loyal to them or they would've hit the streets long ago. His father had an eye of a hawk, choosing budding flowers and guiding them, meanwhile, his mother was like an angel, she was very kind to every employee in the company no matter their background or their social position which helped him and his siblings stay in position.
most of the board are loyal to their family so they had a hand in helping to pay for his siblings' high school expenses, yes you heard it right, his siblings are already in 1st grade of high school with the youngest in 6th grade of middle school. Miyahara Yuu is the eldest sibling followed by the second eldest sibling who is at the age of 15 with the youngest at the age of 12.
Now back to our dear shounen Mc.
'Hmm...management sent me this proposal about making a new drug for soldiers, I know that a few of the drugs we make is also bought by the military, but this is saying something.' Miyahara narrowed his eyes a little in front of the computer screen, and coupled with his appearance looked adorable.
Miyahara typed some comments on the proposal before sending it back to the management team leader. 'These guys are trying too much, they need to hide their motives more.' Miyahara thought before releasing a silent sigh, he closes the laptop before paying the bill and leaving with his stuff. 'I hope those brats did their homework.' He rolls his eyes at the thought. Miyahara was previously a 10th grader in high school but due to the accident, he had to stop and help manage the company. 'Hmm... what's that?' He looks towards a shining light at the end of an alleyway, his hair stood up as his instincts told him to run.
But before he could, like a clap of lightning the light pierced through his laptop and pierced his chest directly to the heart. Miyahara puked out blood with his eyes wide before looking down on his chest, what's supposed to be the chest are where the heart is, was missing only leaving a gaping hole with blood squirting out. He gasped and looked around before stepping forward, but instead of moving his other feet he tripped and fell while his laptop slid away.
He gasped again trying to get as much air as he could, he felt cold all around as his breath quicken. 'Is this...how I die? NO! I can't die, I need to stand up and get back to my family. NOW!' he tried to move...nothing, nothing moved not even a finger his eyes were wide and his vision darkening.
The last thing he heard was the sound of a bell before his consciousness left him.
[Ding! The system has found its host, bounding in progress...1%...2%...3%...10%....20%.....50%...60%...90%....100%]
[Ding, bond completed! The host is currently unconscious, Genetic sequence and Psychic sequence in progress]
'Wha...'
Darkness, all that he saw was darkness. 'Where am I? What is this place?' He tried to move but noticed that he can't move anything. 'Oh, that's right something pierced my chest.' He thought sorrowfully as he worries about who will take care of his siblings, even though the board is loyal he still can't trust any of them, a ding sounded and echoed in the void.
[Ding! Hello host.]
Miyahara's non-existent eyes widen as he looked around the darkness. 'Who's there?!' [Ding! Hello host, I am the system, I have taken the liberty to bond with you.] Miyahara felt anger boil inside of the very depths of his soul but before he could say anything the system sounded again.
[Ding! The host need not worry or feel anger for host is not yet dead, for the past 10 hours your body has been taken to the hospital and is currently in a comatose state.]
Miyahara felt his anger dissipate and asked the system what its functions are. Although he may look calm in his astral state, his mental state is actually in chaos from mixed emotions of joy, contempt, and fear.
[Ding! Host, this is the authorized information that your level currently has. The system was built by beings called 'The Void Walkers', they are the reason why the multiverse was created and your universe is the very first hence they called it 'The Primalverse' or 'The Origin'. That is all meanwhile the system is currently in a weakened state and only the emergency production can be used.] Miyahara listened well to the explanation while also trying to calm his mind. [Currently, the units that can be made are the Swarm unit 'Hunter' and the Zelturian unit 'Enforcer']
Two holographic screens appear in front of him, one each with different signs and name, pressing on the one with the swirls and spiked sign and the name [Hunter], the screen expanded itself and presented to him the image of the unit.
It stood straight on its 2m length hind legs and shows signs that it could run in all fours, its four arms, one longer than to people holding each other arm at a distance and one near the center with
short human length arms. With chitin-like armor scattered throughout the body, it also shows signs of retractable blades on their forearms.
Each limb had 4cm long and 2cm wide claw strong enough to crush a person, on their back was 6 tendril-like tails, 2 going down on the cervical spine, four on the lumbar spine, each had bone spurs sharp like spears. The tails on the end were long near the length of 2 5'9ft human laying on the ground. (Inspired by whitespikes in the movie tomorrow war)
Beside the image shows a panel with its information.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miyahara noticed that there was a star on the panel, so he pressed on the star near the racial skills. A chime sounded as the two panels moved aside as a 3rd panel pop up with the Hunters skill information.
[Retractable Blade] (lv.2)
A natural blade that is hidden beneath the thick hide on the first to upper limbs, once drawn it is so sharp that it can pierce a few metal alloys, but also hard steel
{Critical Damage 5% chance}
[Hieghtend senses] (lv.4)
With its senses enhanced to a high degree nothing can hide from them be it figure smell or sound.
[Razore claw] (lv.3)
As the name suggests, their claws on each of the 4 fingers and toes, are razor sharp which even the slightest swing causes a deep scratch.
{10% chance to leave a bleeding effect}
[Genetic sac] (lv.5)
Inside of the hunter's body has the necessary organs but this special organ, unlike other organs, contains genetic materials such as blood or skin from the target. Its use is to turn any biological material as long as it has genes, it can be turned into energy or regeneration and possibly regenerate missing limbs as long as there is ample amount.
[Adaptive metamorphasis](lv.2)
Because of their genealogy, their adaptability is at a horrifying level and depends on the environment be it deserted terrain or aquatic terrain. The specified time of metamorphosis depends on the environment on how harsh or abundant it is.
{Adaptive metamorphosis is at lv.2 speed of adaptability increased by 3%}
[Hardened hide] (lv.4)
The rough texture of their body is thick with at least 5 layers with the first 2 hardened like a small boulder and the rest similar to the human skin.
Hint: armor-piercing bullets and explosives can damage it.
[Amphibious] (lv.2)
The unit can stay underwater for at least 4 hours before it needs to breathe air. The Unit is extremely good swimmers with the help of their tendril-like tails to maneuver in the water.
Miyahara read each skill's information with interest and surprise as he read on. His eyes landed on [Hardened body] and [Adaptive metamorphosis] with stars in his eyes as his eyes looked towards the other star before pressing it.
[Devour](lv.1)
The unit can devour all biological material endlessly, the upper limit is 100,000 biological material and goes in line with the genetic sac. With the skill active they can also bite off a few iron alloys.
[Store](lv.1)
The unit can store resources and biological materials on a pouch hidden near their abdomen.
{Warning! can only store small materials}
[Absorb](lv.1)
If the unit has no biological material to convert into bioenergy or regeneration solution, it can go into a state of slumber and replenish its energy by absorbing solar energy and lunar energy.
{Absorbtion efficiency 1%}
[Black Liquid](lv.1)
The saliva of the unit is extremely sticky and can be used as traps and many other ways. Mainly it's used to build the units nest or dens to hold up prey, buildings, caves, and such.
Miyahara was surprised upon seeing this, he closed the status panel and read more information about the skills, and trying to predict the limit of each skill or the pros and cons. After a few hours, he closed the panels and pressed the one with the sign of a planet intertwined with rings around it, along with the name [Enforcer].
A panel like the last one showed up and the panel shows a humanoid robot standing straight and its arm to its side. Its body shone with a metallic luster, and although thin showed how much power it has. Its right arm is much larger than the left one and was enveloped with more armor than the other. Miyahara noticed that there was a button with two arrows pointing in a different direction, the one on the left was greyed out while the one on the right was glowing blue.
Letting curiosity get the best of him he pressed the button, and the robot on the screen suddenly raised its right arm forward as it transformed into a long rectangular blaster with pulsating green energy. Below it was two words saying Battle Mode. Miyahara pressed the left one and the words change into Construction Mode. 'This one can change into offensive and build mode while the hunter can gather resources or materials.' Miyahara though and before anything else the system sounded.
[Ding! The host will now undergo shock mode to stimulate your physical self into waking in T-minus 10 seconds]

'What!' Miyahara widen his nonexistent eyes as he tried to stop the system as in continued to count down. 'Stop! Hold on a sec, I need to prepare for the pain!'
[5]
[4]
[3]
'WAIT FOR ONE GODDAMD...'

Unbearable pain shot throughout his body as his astral form began to flicker as sparks were shot out to the darkroom and slowly but surely his consciousness was lost.

*GASP*
Miyahara laying on the bed with his eyes closed suddenly shot up and gasped in air startling the nurse who was checking his IV into almost dropping the clipboard to the ground. Miyahara looked around sluggishly, his vision blurry and his ears ringing as a migraine soon dawn upon his brain.
He groaned and fell back down to the pillow with his left hand holding his head. Meanwhile, the nurse already took off to find the doctor slamming the door shut. 'Huh? Was that all a dream? Ugh, my head hurts so bad.' He begins to massage his forehead.
Not long after he massages his forehead rapid footsteps could be heard outside as a girl kicks the door open and behind her were two other boys with one wearing a hoodie and another wearing a buttoned t-shirt and pants.
"BROTHER!!!" All three shouted.
'Ow! ' Miyahara held his ears as they rang.
