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

I found myself sitting in a chair surrounded by a vast expanse of white. It looked familiar to me. The walls were unrecognizable, with no shadows or dark shades to emphasize them. Even the shadow of my chair seemed nonexistent. 


In front of me stood a boy who resembled my younger self. He wore his usual clothes given to him by his parents. He had a typical look, a hint of anger and displeasure whenever I talked to him. He was my Alter, the manifestation of my conscience. Due to an experiment, our conscience was allowed to manifest a metaphysical body. 


"What do you want now?" he asked with a tone of irritation. 


"Sometimes, I just can't understand you," I replied. My alter showed a questioning look, as if asking how and why I said those words. "Yesterday, you were almost in tears because I didn't visit you, and now it seems like you want to drive me away." 


"Tsk," he mocked as he looked away from me. Since I needed his help, I sighed in defeat and humility.
