In the superior most of our body, deep into our skull, lies a huge clump of tissue made of interconnected nerve cells. The brain. The brain serves as our center of mental and motor processes. Without it, we would be like the dead. It's the most vital organ in our system, but it's the one that is not fully understood. Since the beginning of time, many mysteries have been hidden inside our brains, waiting to be discovered and understood. But despite the difficulty and dedication of experts, they still fail to uncover its hidden secrets. Well, not for long. A private group of scientists experimented intending to unlock the remaining capacity of the human brain. All they wanted was to know, but what they did was to reveal. Despite their success in discovering and exposing its secrets, the world became closer to danger. A danger they unintentionally unleashed.

The Mindbender's Journey

We just buried Dr. Deguro and a bodyguard at the back of the warehouse. We were heading back into the warehouse to plan how to take down that monster. But it might be better if we prioritized ourselves and Henrix first. We were all hungry, and Henrix needed medical attention. Even as Medical Technology students, we were not capable of treating him. We could only provide him with basic first aid. 


"My car is at the entrance of the forest. Let's go." 


I carried Henrix with my ability, and we left the area. We were all silent, and no one dared to speak. The forest also joined in the silence, making the situation more awkward. 


"That explains why there are no animals here. They're afraid of that monster," Maica remarked, answering one of my questions. It all made sense now. That was why the people were so concerned about Dr. Deguro: they owed their lives to him. It was Dr. Deguro who kept that monster dormant.
