GENRA

In the dense forest, there is an old, scary house where a mad scientist is conducting experiments.

" What kind of world is this, where only those people who were born with a golden spoon in their mouth, are the ones who truly live happily! I want to change this ugly system."

" I want all people will be equal"

"And forget how bitter life is."

The mad scientist is shouting with excitement to complete his experiment; he wants to change the world through it.

After he finished what he did, he laughed loudly again and said.

"Through this, the world will become perfect,"

He shouted out loud.

"Through Project-X, everyone will be fair!"

After that, he injected Project X into himself.

He didn't expect to regret what he did; he didn't know that PROJECT-X was a genetic mutation that, once it clung to your body, would make you lose control and turn you into a monster so terrifying in appearance that no one would accept you.

Due to the lack of self-control, from that day on, a series of killings occurred in their area, but it didn't last long, and the monster was captured.

They called it Genra.

Genra cannot be killed with normal equipment or even military weapons because Genra has an ultra-speed healing ability where, even if you destroy its body, it will just return to its form.

There is a saying that if the Genra cannot be killed with normal weapons, there might be a cure for whoever created it, but how can they do that if the Genra is also the one who created itself.

The people in their village decided to just throw Genra into the forest.

A forest with no people, dense, and surely no one will come.

They also made the place private to ensure that no one would discover the monster.

As the years quickly passed, the people in their place also forgot the monster.

[PHASE TWO] TEENAGER'S

"Aren't you getting bored here?"

Kagumi's question as he smoked

"What do you think of doing something fun?"

Hikaru spoke while playing an online game.

"Ahhh, Yasu, what do you think would be a good thing to do?"

Kagumi asked him while blowing smoke from his cigarette.

"It would be better if we went camping"

Yasu said softly while turning the pages of the book he was reading.

"Correct! Correct! ¡camping! That's fun, especially if there's food"

Dave exclaimed while eating chips.

"Hahahaha!"

Loud laughter coming from Alice

"You're really only thinking about food, Dave!"

"Where do you think is the best spot to go camping, Yasu?"

"Do you have any idea?"

Kagumi said questioningly while toasting the cigarette on the wall.

"There, in the private forest"

Yasu said as he closed the book.

"Where? that one who said that there was a monster?"

Kagumi asked with a questioning tone while leaning against the wall.

"Aren't we prohibited from going there?" Hikaru's voice, while focusing on the video game she is playing.

"That's right, isn't it? When something is forbidden, it becomes more fun to do."

Kagumi's said while staring at the ceiling.

"What if the monster there, is real?" Alice said with a hint of fear on her face.

"Do you believe in monsters?"

Kagumi said, laughing loudly, clearly teasing Alice.

After they finished talking,Yasu went out, and he immediately said.

"I have something to do in my home."

"What are you going to do there?"

Kagumi's question was spoken with a hint of surprise.

"It's up to you"

Yasu said, and then left.

"Tomorrow, Yasu, let's all just meet here!"

Kagumi shouted at Yasu with a mix of excitement.

While the four of them were watching television, Yasu, who was at their house, continued reading a book until a day passed, and now it was the day they had been waiting for—the camping trip to the private place.

[PHASE THREE] CAMPING

"Is everyone here now?"

Hikaru's voice as she organizes her things

"Where is Yasu?"

Kagumi asked them while looking around.

"I don't know; maybe he won't join."

Hikaru said with a hint of sadness on her face.

"He's on the bus",

Dave said softly while pointing at the bus and eating chips.

They all looked at the bus together.

"You're so excited, Yasu!"

Kagumi said loudly while walking towards the car.

Yasu just glanced at them for a few seconds and then turned his gaze back to the book he was reading.

While they were bringing in the things, Hikaru loudly told Yasu,

"Aren't you going to help us?"

while Yasu doesn't care about his surroundings.

You can clearly see the annoyance on Hikaru's face.

Kagumi said,

"Just let him be, Hikaru," and then laughed loudly.

After they finished what they were doing, the bus driver started the vehicle.

"Old man, how many hours do you think it will take us to get there?" Kagumi's question to the bus driver

"Maybe around five to six hours."

The bus driver spoke while looking at the road.

"Ahh, thank you".

Kagumi said while leaning on his chair.

While the others are sleeping in their seats due to the long journey, Yasu continues reading a book.

And finally, after a long journey, they finally arrived at their destination.

"Wake up,"

the bus driver said, while waking up the four.

"¿Ah? Old man, what time is it?"

Kagumi asked while stretching out his hand.

"It's already six in the evening," the bus driver said while looking at Kagumi.

"Ahhh, okay, old man, just wait for us here." We'll go home when the sun rises."

Kagumi's shout while grabbing the things.

"Oh, you bring this, Yasu,"

Hikaru said to Yasu with an annoyed expression.

"What is wrong with these two always fighting?"

Alice exclaimed as she stood up from her seat.

"Let's go out now,"

Kagumi said while carrying the items.

"Look for a good spot,"

Hikaru said while carrying a bag.

"There, it looks nice over there,"

Yasu said while pointing to a flat area surrounded by large tree

"Let's go!"

While Dave and Kagumi were setting up the tent, Hikaru and Alice were starting a fire to cook.

Hikaru turned to Yasu, who was once again doing nothing but reading a book.

"Damn it, can't you contribute anything?" Hikaru said with an annoyed expression.

"Ahahaha", Alice laughed while looking at Hikaru.

"Why are you annoyed with Yasu, Hikaru?" Alice asked while looking at Yasu, who was focused on reading.

"¿Eh? You asked, Who wouldn't get annoyed with him? He doesn't contribute anything to our group! Even just helping to set up the tent,"

Hikaru said, clearly hinting at Yasu while holding her waist.

Yasu just glanced at them and then turned his gaze back to what he was reading.

"Oh, did you see that? It's obvious he can hear us, but he's pretending not to, right?" Hikaru's expression was a mix of annoyance and irritation.

Alice just laughed at Hikaru and put down the frying pan.

"Give me the garlic, Alice,"

Hikaru said while stirring the dish she was cooking.

An hour passed, and Kagumi and Dave finished setting up the tent.

On the other hand, Hikaru and Alice have also finished cooking.

And Yasu is still not done with what he's reading.

"Yasu! Let's eat!"

Kagumi called out to him while eating.

After a few minutes, they all finished eating.

They are getting ready to sleep while

Dave, Kagumi, and Yasu are in the same tent, while Alice and Hikaru are together in another tent.

"I need to pee outside first,"

said Yasu while opening the tent.

Kagumi just looked at him and went back to sleep.

A few minutes have passed, and when Kagumi opened his eyes, Yasu was still not there.

He was already wondering, so he woke up Dave.

"Dave, Dave, wake up,"

Kagumi whispered softly.

Dave's eyes widened.

"Why, Kagumi, what do you need?"

Dave asked, closing his eyes again.

"Damn it, wake up already; let's find Yasu; he hasn't come back yet." Meanwhile, tapping Dave's face.

"¿Eh? Come on, let's go",

Dave said while getting up together.

As they stepped out, they looked around but couldn't see Yasu, so the two of them went to Alice and Hikaru.

"Hikaru!"

Kagumi called from outside their sleeping quarters, and Hikaru opened the tent and said, "Why?"

"What do you need?" said Hikaru, peeking out, clearly still sleepy.

"Yasu seems to be missing".

Kagumi's speech was mixed with nervousness.

So Hikaru's mind was quickly stirred, and she said, "What do you mean, how did you know?" Hikaru's worried tone

"Ehh, because earlier Yasu said he just needed to pee, but he hasn't come back yet," Kagumi said hurriedly.

"Ahh, give me the flashlight, Alice; let's go together,"

And she said

"Let's find him!"
