Mutation

The Villain's Rhapsody: Evolution to godhood.

___________________

After Lucas escapes the hospital, he went straight to his apartment where he locked the door, and leaned against the wall and crouched.

"Fuuuuuuuck. What a terrible day"

Suddenly he felt something flow on his cheek, he checks in the mirror and sees that his eyes began to bleed. And then, he sees a status board.

Suddenly Lucas felt sick, and his legs became numb. He crawls to the toilet, as fast as his numb body allows and vomits blood. The whole toilet was painted red.

"N-no! What the fuck is going on! Why I am mutating?"

Lucas held his head as an annoying voice kept screaming inside his head.

'Was it fun? Was it fun? Was it fun? Was it fun?...'

"P-please… J-just shut up!" he shouts as the headache started becoming unbearable. His vision was blurring, everything seems to be in a red fog as he struggled to stay awake.

"I heard of this… If I pass out now… It's all over. Animal's instincts will take over my senses and I will go on a rampage!"

He vomited blood one more time, and while leaning to the wall he slowly got up. He slowly walks to the kitchen, from time to time he leans to the wall to keep the balance. He walks past the mirror and notices something.

"T-then, the next is…" he touches his canine tooth and it suddenly falls. "S-second is teeth, even mages...The physically weakest mutant grows razor-sharp teeth that can tear the steel apart."

Again, he starts slowly walking towards the kitchen. There he loses his balance and grabs onto the sink ripping it off, tap and all as water flooded the kitchen.

He gets up. But now it's even harder for him to walk, as the floor became slippery.

He leans on the table for a moment and goes straight to the cupboard. There he starts looking for medicine. Especially for the painkillers.

"Ha. Found you!" He takes out a tiny bottle of painkillers. Then he takes a few pills.

Due to the original body's owner's insomnia, his body often was in pain. Sleeping pills hardly helped him, so the doctors prescribed him strong painkillers. One pill was usually strong enough to numb a person's pain. However, they don't seem to help him anymore. So he took five more pills.

"Useless!" he throws the pills into the trash bin. "W-what do I do now? I can't even go outside, not to mention work or shopping!"

"T-the town hall must know something… That receptionist might be able to help me! I need to find her!"

An annoying buzzing in his head made it hard for him to focus. He needs to think this through. 

He closes his eyes and stands up straight. He gathers all the strength and focuses his mind on his objective. Now he feels a little better, he walks towards his room, and from the closet takes some new clothes, as the old ones were drenched in blood.

He searched all the shelves till he found the sunglasses. He puts them on and walks towards the mirror.

"Y-yeah… Not suspicious at all… Ha...Ha..." he sarcastically laughs at himself. "Anyways, time to go!"

He unlocks the doors and begins walking towards his goal.

In half an hour, he reached his goal. When he walks into the TownHall, he met Jared, who was going out for a smoke break.

"Hey kid, nice glasses"

"H-hey? Sir… Please help… I-i can't take this anymore!!!"

"W-what's wrong?"

"I am mutating…"

He crouched and held his head. All the strength he had  left him

"Hey, you. What are you doing here?"

Lucas heard a voice. He looks behind himself and sees a fat adventurer. He was working as an assistant to a receptionist. 

Today Liza wasn't working and the receptionist was a tall man wearing casual clothes. He looks at Lucas with a disinterested gaze and tells his assistant to check on Lucas. While Jared, rushed out to get some medicine.

"Newbie, go check him out."

The fat assistant comes closer to Lucas, extends his hand over Lucas's forehead. He looks at Lucas with curiosity in his eyes and asks."

"Hey, my name is David. What's your name"

"L-Lucas."

Lucas spits out a mouthful of black-colored blood, as his body slowly starts rejecting the impurities.

"Kid, could you please take your glasses off?"

Lucas hesitates but takes them off. His golden eye shines, as he looks at the assistant with a sorrowful expression.

"We got a mutant here, sir. This is gonna hurt, a lot. Be strong kiddo" David grabbed Lucas by his shoulder. He takes out some sort of medical syringe and thrusts it straight into his eye.

"Ahhhh!!!! HURTS! IT HURTS!"

Lucas's body instantly began rejecting the medicine and was almost on fire. As the body temperature already reached inhumane levels.

"It HURTS! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! IT FUCKING HURTS!"

Lucas shrieks as the pain was unbearable. The voices in his head were one thing, but that medicine was killing him.

Lucas lost his consciousness. And the mutation took over, everyone suddenly felt immense bloodlust. 

"Oh no… Please be okay, kid! Stay with us!"

As David leaned towards Lucas and extended his hand to check the pulse, Lucas caught his hand and squeezed it with all his might. He unconsciously enhanced his strength with holy magic. However, the mutation also enhanced threefold. He pulled David towards himself and bit a huge lump of meat out of his arm.

"David!" The receptionist shouts. He rushed to his side and pulled David away from the mutating Lucas, who was smirking with blood dripping from his mouth.

"David, are you fucking crazy? He is mutating, how the fuck do you think it was safe to check his pulse?"

The receptionist quickly tried to put pressure on the wound, luckily, the receptionist had knowledge of holy magic. So he gave him first aid.

Lucas used shadow magic and disappeared in David's shadow, then reappeared behind the fat enhancer. However, Jared quickly jumps in and punches Lucas in the face. Lucas's fragile body flies five meters, hits the wall, and disappears into the shadows. Jared shouts.

"Shit! Shit! Shit! SHIT!!!! EVERYONE BE CAREFUL, HE MAY BE A KID, BUT HE IS AN SSS RANKED MAGE!'

"W-what?" 

David looks at Jared with disbelief, however, the receptionist felt the aura and killing intent that Lucas showed, and realized it was the truth.

"Are you fucking serious? What kind of monster is that kid!"

Panic broke out in the town hall, no one wanted to deal with an SSS rank mutant, however, they had no other choice. They need to keep Lucas busy until he completely mutates and regains sanity.

"Everyone, stay back! He's using magic! Someone, get the pig and use it as a decoy!"

____________________________

About twenty minutes passed after Lucas's rampage, and he regained his senses. He was lying on the ground. His clothes were soaked in blood. He slowly sits down and lifts his arms. Both were painted in blood. 

The receptionist with Jared cautiously walks towards Lucas, they keep glancing at each other. Then they both nod and ask in duet.

"K-kid? are you okay?"

Lucas looks around the town hall and screams when he sees two torn apart bodies.  Two mutilated animals' bodies were lying on the ground. Body parts all over the hall.

"AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

*sighs* x2

Jared and the receptionist sighs and looks back at the assistant hunter who was sitting at a receptionist's desk and maintaining an angry face. He hadn't moved from that spot from the moment the receptionist healed him. For one simple reason. He wet himself.

Lucas feels that he has something a little bit crunchy inside his mouth and he decides to check. He puts two fingers inside his mouth and pulls something out. When he sees what it is, he becomes pale which highlights all the blood that is on his mouth and hands. The thing that was in his mouth was a boar's ear.

A familiar person was levitating in the sky in one place, and she was observing the whole situation that is happening in the human world.

"Hehehe, yes. Lucas, more. Entertain me more!" 

The girl had a dark expression as she licked her lips. Right after Lucas regained his consciousness, she blushed and began playing with her purple, silky hair.

"You just can't wait to become mine, can you? KYAAH!!"
