Hello guys 😎
Chairwoman [ author ]
Although this isn't my first story but it's my first BL story
Chairwoman [ author ]
I hope you guys enjoy 😎
Somewhere in an underground lab, people wearing white lab coat could be seen walking here and there. There in a particular room, many glass cases, big enough for a human to stand in easily, were placed in rows and in every glass case, someone or something was present. Amongst those glass cases that were filled with weird human like creatures or more like test subjects, there's also a glass case in which a normal looking human is present. A person in white lab coat, probably a scientist, was checking that normal looking human's vitals and writing down some notes
A forbidden genetic experiment.
No one have any idea that these creatures that they are making or creating, have what kind of abilities. They have no idea of their potential as well. The experiment was deemed top-secret by the government of multiple nations. The only thing everyone knew was that every creature or test subject here is a 'MONSTER'
