I Am The Mid-Boss?

While the mutant project proceeded smoothly, the researchers acknowledged that direct induction of mutation was impossible. Most subjects either directly died due to their body's inability to accept the change, while others lost their minds or became crippled. Overall, controlling the mutation to achieve the desired outcome was impossible.

However, the answer to that wasn't hard to reach. The head researcher believed that the human body's evolutionary ability to adapt was capable of solving the issue. The only problem was that this solution required time.

Rather than developing a mutant, they decided to develop parents to that mutant. Relying on the research data that they already obtained, they picked up candidates from the older subjects to minimally expose them to the fragment's effect coupled with other 'potions' that they made for the body to specifically accept that effect.

"So this is who 'I' am."
