All the higher-ups of the Valori Company were standing behind a glass wall.

Their faces exposed many different emotions, fear, curiosity, hope, anticipation, and some even hatred.

The old Professor stepped forwards, straightening his back, "I think I'm speaking for everyone here when I say that this went on for far too long. The Amelia we all knew and loved isn't anymore. We don't know what kind of monstrosity will come out of that thing! I will step out now as the most Senior Professor and stop this madness now! I hope that you all agree with me, that thing will be our all end and the end of our dream of a new wonderful world. If we fall here because of our past affection for Amelia...then the world will truly descend into chaos!" The old Professor spoke with fervor.

The others stayed silent, pondering over his words. It was became clear that some of them shared the same opinion as the old Professor.

"You are using words like "isn't anymore", "monstrosity" and "will be our end". But you know nothing, Carl! We have witnessed evolutions on others before and this is clearly a more advanced form of it. We will wait for her to finish it!" Said a rather young man that was also a Professor stepped forward. He was handsome despite the freckles on his cheeks. His long curly red hair was in sync with his pair of red eyes.

The old Professor sneered at him dismissively, "Johannes, everyone here knows exactly how you feel about Amelia. Your love is clouding your rational judgment, I won't hold it against you, because I have loved once too. The situation is dire and will get worse the more time we hesitate. I won't risk everything we have build up until now because of mindless love or emotions. Everyone that is for my suggestion to eliminate that monstrosity before it comes out, please raise your hand."

The higher ups exchanged hesitating gazes.

The situation became like this 3 days ago after the soldiers brought back the biggest solid amount of Substance 001 they had ever seen. The soldiers paid a huge price to accomplish the mission, almost being completely wiped out...

Amelia went on to personally conduct the research on the big red crystal.

The situation escalated when she came too close to it. The huge amount of Substance 001 reacted at her presence, suddenly attacking her.

Amelia froze the moment she came into contact with it. Substance 001 turned into its liquid form and began to devour her slowly.

The soldiers evacuated everyone and shut down that part of the facility...

Then there was someone who raised his hand, soon the others followed suit, raising their hands too.

The young red-haired Professor gritted his teeth, "I won't allow that!"

"Dear Johannes, I fear you have no saying in this matter. The majority have made their choice!" Said the old Professor with a wicked smile.

"And I fear that the majority had no saying regarding this matter, Professor Krychowiak!" A harsh and domineering voice echoed through the room.

Everyone turned their heads towards the source of the voice.

A group of armed soldiers entered the room, following closely behind a brutal looking tall man.

The old Professor's face became red from anger, "Gianluca, aren't authorized to meddle with the decisions of the higher-ups!"

The brutal looking soldier gave Professor a fierce look, making the old man retreat a few steps in humiliation.

"I have! I can! And I will! Professor Volari gave me the authority to act as I see fit, if something unexpected happens!" Spoke Gianluca harshly as one of the soldiers behind him handed Professor Krychowiak a paper that confirmed Gianluca's claims.

Professor Krychowiak read the letter, his face turning ugly.

"This order is void! Amelia isn't anymore you will..." Began the old Professor to refute, just to be merciless cut of by Gianluca.

"Shut your filthy mouth you old son of a b*tch, before I put a bullet straight between your eyebrows you power hungry b*stard!" Cursed Gianluca vulgarly.

Professor Krychowiak's whole body shook in rage, "HOW DARE..."

He stopped speaking when he felt the cold muzzle of Gianluca's Desert Eagle, pressing against his head.

The red color in his face vanished, turning pale as he stared into Gianluca's red eyes that were filled with murderous intent.

"We will wait until Professor Volari comes out of that thing....and we will deal with accordingly if it turns out that she isn't herself anymore." Stated Gianluca.

No one dared to refute.

They turned their heads, watching the red cocoon on the other side of the glass wall.

Amelia wiped the thick red blood-like liquid from her face, "I finally killed that thing!"

She stared down at the big hideous corpse in front of her. Its head was missing.

Amelia found herself inside this place, it was her old home from the time her mother was still alive. Well, it had been turned into rubles when she fought against that ugly monster.

It had 14 legs and reminded her of a mix between a spider and a lion.

His body was riddled with wounds from the fight.

It just appeared and began to attack her while calling her a mere inferior insect.

She was sure that she was about to die when that monster got a hold on her, it was twelve meters tall and she was too small. She managed to kill it before it could crush her body. She thought that her body was strong but is became weak as pudding under the incredible power of that monster. She somehow pulled it off to overload its brain with every kind of illusion she could think of.

Amelia was so desperate at that moment that she threw everything at it, causing its lion-like head to explode.

Her legs became weak and she fell on the cracked tiles.

"That was so close..."

Her senses picked something up, the body of the monster dissipated, turning into millions of tiny red dots that entered her body before she could react.

Her vision turned black, falling unconscious.

She found herself inside another strange place. It was dark and gloomy, and she was sitting on a strange throne.

'Where am I now?' Thought Amelia confused.

She looked around, her eyes wandering over the tall white pillars around her.

'There are Nine Pillars, each one of of them has a throne placed in the middle. Well all except for...'

Amelia looked up to her left, frowning.

That was the tallest pillar from all nine and there was already someone there.

What she saw was a figure clad in darkness lying down on an ancient roman couch.

She concluded some things from the way that figure was lying on the ancient roman couch.

The first thing that she figured out, was that the figure was male. Yes, his body was clad in darkness but it didn't hide his stature and body composition.

The second thing was, 'He is obviously lazy, I can tell with one glance at him....the way he is lying on that couch...his whole attitude screams laziness.'

Her gaze locked into the only two things that weren't hidden by the darkness.

The two black horns on his forehead and his unique pair of eyes.

His left eye shone brightly like a small sun inside this dark and cold space while his right eye was a red and black, seemingly pulling the darkness around him towards it.

Just as she stared at him, he stared back. It confused her, his gaze was both cold but there was also some curiosity mixed within them.

Amelia noticed how uncomfortable the throne she was sitting on felt and she wished she had a better one.

The throne she was sitting on trembled faintly before changing. She was surprised how comfortable the throne became.

Her gaze fell back on her "neighbour".

He ignored her, closing his eyes.

Amelia felt somewhat annoyed.

"Who are you?" Asked Amelia.
