Getting A System In A Modern World

He was getting worried as it\'s been more than a month since Silas left for his business trip, and he felt dumb for not asking what the business trip was for.

He has been told by Kim that Silas always makes a business trip, but the business that he\'s attending to usually makes him travel so much that no one had any idea.

Chris felt that he was at fault. He felt that everything that\'s happening is punishment for his mistakes, but he was ready to take it; all he just wants is for his son to be safe.

He hopes that nothing has happened to Silas, as he doesn\'t know if he would be able to forgive himself if anything does. He has lost a lot of things, and he doesn\'t want to lose anymore.

"Silas, where are you?" Chris asked with a worried voice.

He really wants to know where Silas went for the business trip. He was told by Kim that he always frequents Venezuela, but he found it odd.

Why would Silas go to Venezuela? What business could he possibly have to go there?

Chris wasn\'t too familiar with Silas\' character. He couldn\'t be blamed at first because after Silas\' mother died, he had to juggle between his work and taking care of a young kid.

He has very little time to spend at home, and this was one of the reasons he remarried. He wants someone who would take care of his little boy, but fate decided to shit on him again.

Chris threw back his head when he thought of his ugly past.

"Don\'t worry, Chris. Everything\'s going to be just alright."

Ross Ice Self, Antarctica.

It\'s been almost three weeks since Daniel lost consciousness and he hasn\'t woken up since.

Though he has been unconscious, everyone in the lab could feel the changes happening in his body, and it brought smiles to their faces.

This was especially so for Jeremiah, who was the brain behind the research. He has been all smiles since he detected the changes in Daniel\'s body.

The situation has also been reported to the higher-ups in the organization, and all the members of the Dark Council have decided to come and see things for themselves.

Jeremiah wasn\'t against this visiting plan of theirs, but he wasn\'t going to reveal anything other than what has been included in the report to them.

He has already gotten a glimpse of the organization members\' character, and he wasn\'t going to take his chances with them, as he already knew what to expect.

He wasn\'t worried, though. He knew that there was no way that they would do anything to him because they still needed him, and due to the success of the experiment, he knew that they needed him now, more than ever.

Jeremiah walked into the lab that Daniel was in, and he immediately felt how extremely hot the temperature was.

"The temperature is increasing with every passing second," he said, as he brought out a handkerchief to clean the sweat beads starting to form on his forehead.

He walked towards a table at a corner of the lab, and as he walked towards it, he noticed something.

The glass that enclosed Daniel was releasing an incredible amount of what looked like steam.

Jeremiah was surprised when he saw this, and he immediately rushed towards it to confirm.

When he got close to the glass pod, he saw the exact same thing he saw from afar: steam rising from the glass.

The steam wasn\'t exactly coming from the glass. It was from the cooling system that was installed a few days ago onto the table that Daniel is lying on.

Due to how high and how fast Daniel\'s body temperature has been rising since the past few days, they had to install a cooling system under the table or the heat would have melted everything in the lab.

The reason why Jeremiah was surprised was because the cooling system that was installed is an extreme cooling system! A type of cooling system that is used to cool supercomputers!

Jeremiah curiously placed a finger on the glass, and as his finger made contact with it, he heard a cracking sound coming from it.

He quickly withdrew his hand, but it seems to be too late, as a shattering sound was heard as the tempered glass exploded, shattering and scattering glass shards all over the place and on his body.

Jeremiah was about to press the emergency button under the table when he heard a boom, and what followed was an extreme burst of flame from Daniel\'s body, forcing him to hurriedly step back and give himself a distance from the table.

The flame caused the temperature of the lab to rise exponentially, and it triggered the fire alarm system.

Jeremiah wanted to find a way to get the situation under control before things got out of hand, but he couldn\'t think of anything.

It would have been different if it were a regular fire, but this one is a fire that even an extreme cooling system couldn\'t hold under control.

Jeremiah had the thought of dismantling the original connection of the cooling system and connecting it directly to Daniel\'s body. The problem was that he knew that it would be extremely impossible, as he wouldn\'t be able to survive the extreme cold that would burst out of the cooling system due to his actions.

He racked his brain, thinking of how to solve the problem at hand, when he noticed the fire moving irregularly.

He looked closely, and he saw that it wasn\'t the fire that was moving irregularly; it was Daniel that was getting up the table.

He broke into a hearty laughter when he saw this.

"That\'s it. My very first creation. The first Marvel," Jeremiah said with proud smiles.

The Warehouse, Venezuela.

The Evolution Capsule\'s progress screen was now displaying Silas\' gene enhancement progress to be at 85%.

Luna didn\'t understand how the progress sped up so much, but she was upset about it.

She was just anxiously waiting for the gene enhancement to finally be completed and for Silas to come out of the evolution capsule.

****

Silas didn\'t know how long he has been in the Evolution capsule, as his sense of time has been jumbled up.

For the past few days—if he\'s actually correct—he has been experiencing a lot of memories that he has no idea where they came from.

He has tried his best to make sense of it, but the annoying thing about the situation is that he can\'t understand anything.

He felt like these memories were previously sealed behind something, and the gene enhancement process—or should he call it his first evolution metamorphosis as the voice called it—released the seal and allowed the memories to come to surface.

There was just one problem; the memories became vague afterwards, but there was a part of his memories that wasn\'t vague like the rest, the memories that included the sinister voice he heard in the dark suffocating vacuum.

The voice that said, "I\'m coming."
