Opening a large metal door, was a tall and muscular guard. Wearing a gray uniform, the guard stood beside me.
"Test-subject 876, this is where you will be staying."
Grabbing me by the shoulder, the guard shoved me into a small 20x20 room.
"...khh"
Falling face-first on the ground, a dull sound escaped from my lips. My mind was a mess at the moment. I could barely formulate any thoughts.
After every couple of thoughts, I'd forget everything that I was thinking about.
Multiple different illusions flashed before my eyes. No matter how many times I blinked, or closed my eyes, the illusions would never stop. It was never-ending.
This was what the serum did.
It fed the brain with different kinds of illusions and vision, and in the process, it would slowly damage the neurons of the brain.
"You will receive food twice a day alongside your shot. In a week's time, if you're not dead, the professor will call you up."
The guard's cold voice echoed across the room.
Pui!
"...why the fuck do I have to deal with this shit."
Glaring at me, the guard suddenly spat on the ground. Turning around, he smashed the door behind him.
—Clank!
"..."
Once he left, silence enveloped the room.
"haaa..haaa"
Mustering every last bit of strength in my body, moving forward, I leaned against a wall. Just that much movement caused me to be at a loss for breath.
Turning my head slightly, I looked at the room I was in.
Though the room was small, it had a small bed by the side, coupled with a sink and bathroom. A large metal door stood in the middle of the room, and at the bottom was a small compartment where I presumed the food would be pushed in.
Looking around, I knew that there was no way out for me. Fortunately, there didn't seem to be a camera monitoring me.
Perhaps it was because I wasn't particularly important, but this worked in my favor. At least for now.
"Khhh..."
A groan suddenly escaped from my lips.
With the effects of the pain killers waring out, every part of my body started to ache. The pain wasn't unbearable though, so it wasn't the worst. Although most of my mana was sealed, not all of it was sealed.
The reasoning behind this was my injuries.
Unless mana circulated inside of my body, my injuries wouldn't heal as quickly. And given that they wanted for me to heal, they decided to only seal my mana up to rank.
This was enough.
Mustering every last bit of mana inside of my body, I muttered.
"M-monarch's...indifference."

"876, it's time for your meal."
A voice suddenly called out.
"..."
Unfortunately, the voice was met with no response.
—Clank!
"Fucking answer me when I'm talking to you."
The door flung open, and the same guard from before entered the room.
