Overkill

Inside the warehouse.

SPLASH!

The first man with the black coat saw Liam fell over the glass box and can't help himself but to laughed.

"AHAHAHA! This stupid kid. Hey, silent guy! Press all the button-down that you'll see there, will ya'. Let's see what will happen to this brat."

The first man continued to giggle and ordered his companion to press buttons.

Just as he was commanded the second man press all the red button that was connected on the glass box and the test tubes.

"No fucking way! Get me out of here!"

Liam panicked and tried to escape but he can't swim upwards in the liquid anymore to reach the top edge of the glass box.

FLICK!

One by one, the thin metal that was covering the test tubes earlier was being pulled up and lights began to flash from the ceiling of the warehouse into the big glass.

Liam, who was struggling to escape, saw the things inside the test tube and was frightened.

"What the hell!? Am I going to be a lab rat, right now?!"

He thought as he glanced at every test tubes which clearly contains an exact quantity of five brains of a human floating in the middle of another unsatisfying mix-colored liquid.

A moment later, every part of the brain inside suddenly scattered throughout the test tube and it

stuck to an electrical wire and a small flexible tubing that was connected to the big glass box.

Liam panted heavily as he finally stopped struggling then his eyes widened when he looked at what was happening behind him.

The last one to be uncovered was the big test tube behind the glass cube.

It was different from the other test tube, as its content contains a thick fluid with a two hue of gold and blue. It was like an abstract painting where the colors were touching each other, but never getting mixed.

FLICKER!

And just as the sudden happenings weren't enough, the huge monitor suddenly opened and an image of a red warning sign showed up.

Then a monotone and robotic-like voice with a faint tone of a female can be heard echoing from it.

''WARNING! THE GLASS BOX WILL GET OVERDOSE BY THE PROJECT-X."

"WARNING! THE GLASS BOX CONTAINS A METAL OBJECT THAT WILL CAUSE AN ELECTROCUTION AND A PROBABILITY OF A RANDOM SIDE-EFFECT IN THE ARCHETYPE PROJECT!"

"WARNING! THE SUBJECT INSIDE THE GLASS BOX WILL GET OVERDOSE BY AN AMPLIFIED NUCLEUS, AMPLIFIED ELECTRON AND ALL OF THE SECRET ELEMENTS THAT IS NEEDED IN THE ARCHETYPE PROJECT."

"IN THIRTY SECONDS THE PROJECT-X WILL BE USED IN THE SUBJECT! PLEASE BE PREPARED."

"THIRTY."

"AH, F\-\-K! That is bad right!? Come on let's leave!"

The first man said before running down towards the staircase.

"Wait!! You old f*ckers!! I'll kill you two!! Hey, ugly-faces!! WRAAAAH!! I'LL KILL YOU TWO!"

Liam continuously shouted angrily from inside the glass box.

The second man, who was just about to leave the place, heard Liam's threat and decided to make him even angrier for his own entertainment.

Several seconds later, he walked in front of the glass then stuck a piece of paper in it with a message clearly written to it, then the man left immediately.

Liam saw that the second man put something in the glass so he dived down to see what exactly did he do.

When Liam saw the paper and the text written in it his face and expression turned grim.

Then soon changed into a furious one like that of a beast.

Vengefulness crept inside his heart and vengeance sunk into his mind.

The message that the guy written in the paper was,

'If you want to kill us then go and find DARK SOCIETY and looked for the Death Guild somewhere in this whole wide world.... if you are still alive that is.'.

"SIXTEEN!"

"T-These guys really wants to die by my own hands, eh...!"

Liam thought as he swam back at the top of the liquid pool again and once again struggled to escape but the gap of his hands and the top of the glass box was huge so he definitely can't escape the glass box.

The warehouse was starting to rumble and the cause was the process of the so-called "Project-X".

BOOOM!

One of the Electrical Equipment caused a big explosion.

"..haha...HAHAHA! Shit. How can I think of killing those guys, when this Overdose thing will send me to heaven several seconds later? This is not an overdose...!"

This is a f*cking overkill!" Liam shouted from the bottom of his raging heart.

"Argh!"

'I still didn't do that thing! Why now!? Oh! I guess after if I died in this world, I will be reincarnated to another world...'

"Like that will really happen?! Shit! I don't wanna die! There are many chapters that are still coming!'

"THREE!"

"TWO!"

"ONE!"

"The Electrocution will end in just five seconds."

BZZT!!

"WRAAAAARGHH!!!!!!"

An electric shock formed from below the glass box and stirred through the entire pool of liquid.

Liam screamed as he suffered from the unimaginable pain when he was electrocuted.

Liam's body can't even take the five seconds of an intense electrocution as his consciousness was soon fading away.

At the same time, the Project-X's elements were beginning to spread out through the entire glass box.

While Liam was currently unconscious, the elements were scattering and moving slowly towards the direction of Liam's body, or to be exact, to his brain.

The warehouse is rumbling greatly because of the so-called overdose of the Project-X's process.

One by one the Electrical Equipment inside the warehouse was collapsing or exploding quickly like wildfire because of the overheat and electric overkill progressing inside them.

At the same time, almost all of the Project-X's elements were being consumed by Liam's brain because the different type of colors were dissipating without him even knowing anything.

After a while, the biggest Electrical Equipment was shaking violently and showing a sign of exploding in a second.

"THE PROCESS IS FINISHED."

The monitor once again let out a voice.

"THE PROJECT-X IS NOW INSIDE THE MAIN SUBJECT. IT ALSO ADDED SOME EXTRA SPECIAL EFFECTS AND A FEW RANDOM EFFECTS BECAUSE OF TH-"

Before the Computer AI could even finish talking, suddenly...

BOOOOM!!!

_____

In a news studio

"Breaking News!"

"A massive explosion occurs in one of the warehouses of the abandoned factory in the town just a few hours ago....."

A female host in a studio said seriously while being live on air.

"One of the townsfolk living near the abandoned factory said that he saw a teenager who ran inside the factory with a hurried look on his face....."

_____

1 day later after the explosion

In the ruins of the factory

A ***** body can be seen inside the corrupted rocks.

It was Liam.

The lower part of his body was covered with rocks and tiny pieces of metal from the ruins.

RUMBLE!

Liam woke up from his deep slumber.

He moved his torso upwards and turned his head left and right with a confused expression that suddenly formed in his face.

"Eh? EH?! Factory?"

Liam regained his senses and shouted.

"I-I'm alive? I didn't reincarnate...? I didn't die! HAH!"

Liam chuckled happily.

He stood up and looked all around his ***** body.

"Where's the wounds? Where's the scratches? The injuries, the bruises? Where is the damage to my body?! Am I superman or something?" Liam asked confusedly.

Suddenly, a small rock fell on his head.

"Ow! What the fu- HOLY SH!T!!!"

Liam saw a long steel bar falling from the corrupted ceiling.

He stopped in shock before reflexively umping sidewards.

He was so stunned and was frightened that he let out a sigh of relief.

"I know, I'm not superman, what the hell! I'm just confused because I didn't even have a bruise! I can die from that y' know."

Liam jumped in frustration and spoke stupidly in the air.

'I guess the liquid inside the glass box reduced the great damage and protected me from the explosion.'

Liam wondered why the rescue operation or even anyone didn't saw him here.

But he decided to forget it as long as he was well and alive.

He went to another factory near him to find some clothes to wear for himself.

"Damn! The interior here is the same as the previous one but this time neither the gigantic glass nor the big test tubes can be seen here."

Liam was surprised and thought before wandering around the warehouse.

He soon found a blue pants, a brown coat and leather boots inside a small tent near the corner.

"Heh. I look like an old man with these but nevermind." Liam said inwardly after looking at the clothes that he wore.

Liam slowly and sneakily went out of the factory so that no one can see him and asked him some detective-like questions by the townfolks.

After the successful escape from the asylum..er from the factory, Liam went straight to their house.

'Rest in Peace, Mom, and Dad. It... It will be more peaceful sooner or later after I do what I have to do to those guys.'

_____

40 minutes after the explosion

Outside of the factory

The police already gave up finding the said teenager's body, even though they only started searching 10 minutes ago when the fire was extinguished by the firemen.

With the four police officers' personalities, they would think 'there's only one person who died'.

They imagined how bad the explosion was just by seeing the damage it caused so they came up with a brief conclusion that the said teenager was already dead and his body was burnt to ashes.

Inside the exploded warehouse.

A huge stone was pushed by another fallen rock and the body of a man was lying flat where it was earlier.

It was, of course, Liam.

Almost half of his body was burnt to a crisp but he was still unbelievably, miraculously alive, and somehow just unconscious.

Only the torso of him was not burnt by the explosion.

But half of his right arm has been crushed by a huge stone and his left shoulder was pierced by a long steel bar.

The rest of his body was colored of a brown and red hue because of the electrocution and the raging fires earlier.

His face was full of cuts because of the shattered glass that pierced it earlier.

However, either because he have an incredible and powerful will to live and fight to seek vengeance to the guys who just killed his family or either because the injuries weren't bad enough to damage his healthy body, his heart and brain were still safe and almost perfectly working fine.

DING.

A sound of a bell rang through Liam's mind but because he was on a short coma right now so he can't hear it.

Then a monotonic, robotic female voice echoed through Liam's mind.

'Activating Project X... Creating The System...'

'Functioning the Time Limit of The System...'

'Permanent.'

'Congratulation! You are the first host of Project X's System but it will only be a voice that can be heard from your mind since the prerequisite condition has not yet been met.'

'The System has given the host three bonus skills that will activate when the host somehow got himself in a grievous state or in a dangerous situation.'

'Your current state is extremely bad. Your life is in danger.'

'The first bonus skill has been activated automatically.'

'Granting you a skill that is seriously needed for your current situation.'

'The skill 'Regeneration' has been given to you by the system'

'The host is currently unconscious. The skill 'Regeneration' has been activated.'

PSHHLKKKK

Every time a minute pass Liam's body was gradually returning to its old self.

The skill he got from the 'Project X's System' was truly heaven-defying.

Almost 10 minutes have passed and now Liam's body was perfectly fine and has been completely healed and recovered.
