CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION.
Mr. and mrs. Cordan are sitting in front of their parked RV They usually take one trip to lake Kreuze once every summer. It’s a lake that the desert river runs to. Such an occurrence is rare, and they are glad so few people know about this lake, for if they did, this place would surely be overcrowded.
Mrs. Cordan sees something plummet into the lake. It fell down the small waterfall that connects the river to the lake. She tells her husband about it but he says it’s probably just a rock. She claims it’s too big to be a rock and eventually, he agrees to check it out. They approach the lake and mr. Cordan grabs something from the lake. It is a large rock. He tells mrs. Cordan than she’s being too paranoid, but this thing he has in his hands starts to change. The shell giving the illusion that it is a rock starts to de-grow and it reveals an infant child.

Gorgon high school.
17 years have passed. Mr. and mrs. Cordan raised the boy they found in lake Kreuze. He is now Ralph Cordan, just one of the students at the Gorgon high school, and one of the students disappointed with his grade.
“What BELGIUM is this? I studied for five hours straight for that test and you’re telling me I get a D?” Ralph shouts at his teacher.
“I graded you according to your answers Ralph, not according to your efforts. but since you didn’t even know that Gorgon city was founded by germans, I doubt you even studied for this test.”
With that said, the teacher leaves Ralph to his own frustration.
Introducing the villain.
The teacher approaches her car in the underground parking lot. It is dark and quiet. One of the more scary places in the school. She attempts to open her door, but notices that it is completely gone. Something has ripped the door from the hinges of the car. She notices Ralph behind her.
“Oh Ralph, you scared me.”
“Did I?”
“Can you believe this? The entire door is missing? I knew the city’s criminals were desperate, but what could they do with a door?”
“You’d be surprised what some people can do”
A bone spike starts to grow from Ralph’s wrist and forms a dagger.
Introducing the hero.
Four months have passed since the battle at the lighthouse. Eve isn’t frozen anymore, but she’s been in a coma ever since. I check up on her every day to see if she wakes up. No matter how pissed she may be, I want to be there when she regains consciousness. My skin is still burned, and it will stay that way for the rest of my life. I have a job as a courier, and I’ve been doing great there. My boss doesn’t know that I can run at super human speeds, but as long as he doesn’t ask, I’m not lying. I’m glad I managed to save humanity, it would have been a shame if this had all come to an end.

Recap.
I am Adam. Me and Eve were created and genetically altered by my father, professor Henry Meckard to be the perfect human beings, or the Homo Perfectuses. He had always talked about how we would bring brightness to the world as the evil and corrupted Homo Sapiens would fall before us, but I was too young at the time to fully understand what he meant. The difference between the Homo Perfectuses and the Homo Sapiens, is the fact that a portion of our DNA is tangible, or bendable. This gives us the ability to manipulate our own DNA and change our genetic structure, making us stronger, faster, smarter, even warmer. We have to be careful with this power, as messing with the DNA can be dangerous, even lethal. Like Meckard said, the DNA is like a rubber band, it can be bent, but bend it too much and it breaks.
As we were practicing our powers, Eve had an accident, she almost bent her DNA too much, reaching the fourth level of five, five being death. This left me alone in the facility, at the same time that a stranger knocked on the front door. I didn’t know what it could be, as I had never seen anything from the outside world, but my curiosity forced me to open the door. A nearly dehydrated man collapsed before me and Meckard took him away, but not until I took a book called the Bible from the man. I started reading the Bible, and five years later, I knew it like the back of my hand. But it raised a lot of questions. This started a kind of a rebellion within me that lead to me suspecting Meckard of lying. I tried to investigate further, and found out that he intended to kill off humanity with a virus he had developed, called Pandora’s Box. Meckard found out that I ad been snooping around, and after I had grabbed a tape with research footage on Pandora’s Box, I ran.
After crossing the entire desert, I found myself in a dirt, gritty human city, called Gorgon city. There, I tried to find a way to view the tape I had stolen, but finding a VHS machine was extremely tough. I found an ally though, a human named Mark. He worked at an electronic store, and his knowledge of human technology was of great benefit to me. He helped me find a VHS, and we found out that Pandora’s Box was active, but it wasn’t airborne. It was however waterborne, and as I had left Meckard with limited options, he would try to go along with his plan despite the fact that his virus couldn’t spread in the air. I found out that he intended to use Eve to dry up the ocean, causing an intense downpour on the entire earth that he would use to have his virus reach every human on the planet.
I got there in time to stop Meckard, but he sent Eve do battle me. Realizing I had no other way to save humanity, I was forced to fight the person I was created to love. I couldn’t kill her, so I froze her, using her vulnerability to cold, but exposing me to my vulnerability to heat as well. I was left burned, but I managed to drag myself to face Meckard. He explained to me that he was trying to kill of the human society and not just the humans, but that didn’t change my motives. I injected him with the entire virus, hoping that it’s large quantity would overpower his antivirus and kill him off once and for all. He did start to disintegrate, but in a surprise move, he lounged for the ocean to spread his infection. I managed to cut the infected water away from the rest of the ocean, and froze the infected water with Meckard in it, ending this struggle. I tried to carry Eve back to the city, but passed out on the way. I woke up in a hospital alongside Eve, and found out that Mark found us and drove us there.
Ring ring ring ring.
As I run towards Mark’s apartment, my cell phone rings. I find it a very useful device as I can’t bother to run to everyone I have to talk to.
