Yeah, I Am a Broken Experiment
Explosion underground
Experiment Room 12, Underground
Ren is lying on a cold stone floor. His body is trembling. Chains hold his wrists. He’s too thin. Too pale. His lips are cracked. His voice is barely there.
Ren Alderis
[whispering]
… Is it… over?
Scientist
[coldly]
He’s still alive?
Scientist
How? He shouldn’t have lasted ten seconds with that much mana pressure.
Ren blinks slowly. There’s dried blood under his nose. His breathing is shallow.
Ren Alderis
I… I didn’t mean to survive…
They ignore him. The glowing mark on his hand faintly—just enough to be noticed.
Scientist
Wait. That mark—
Suddenly, the air crackles. The ground shakes. A surge of magic bursts from Ren's body, wild and out of control
Ren Alderis
[terrified]
N-No… please… stop—!
Explosion. Screams. Then silence
The lab is in ruins. Tables shattered. A faint hum of leftover magic buzzes in the air. In the center of it all—Ren lies motionless, small, and broken
Scientist
[coughing]
H-He’s… still breathing?
Scientist
[staring at Ren’s hand in horror]
The mark… Look.
The mark which looks like in the shape of moon glows gently, like a heartbeat.
It pulses with something ancient—not human.
Scientist
[whispers]
I think he belongs to them…
Scientist
that's why power was reacting to him.
Scientist
Not reacting. Belonging
Scientist
[voice flat, cold]
Send word to the Council.
The experiment failed—but the subject survived.
Scientist
We can't keep him here
Scientist
Then send him to the Academy and tell them to keep him under observation
