Six days had passed since the first Kaiju Cell infusion experiments began on the young orphaned children. While Jacob slept in his containment chamber, the Head Scientist secretly injected him with a higher and more concentrated dose of 10%, compared to the previous 8%. The scientist had discovered something extraordinary about Jacob, unlike the other test subjects, Jacob's body could adapt to the cellular infusion process far faster than anyone else.
The second most successful subject, Test Subject #A-021 (Alina), was two years older than him, yet her progress couldn't compare. Every day, the scientist had gradually increased Jacob's dosage by 2%, and now, after six days, it reached a dangerous 10%. As the serum coursed through his veins, Jacob's small body trembled violently in pain, even under heavy anesthesia.
The agony reached so deep at the cellular level that no amount of sedative could numb it. When Jacob finally awoke, his entire body ached. Blinking groggily, he caught sight of his reflection in the mirror inside his cell, and he froze.
He didn't recognize the person staring back. His body had completely transformed. His once small 3'5" frame had grown to an impressive 4'11".
Every trace of baby fat had vanished, replaced by solid, dense muscle. His facial features had matured from those of a four-year-old to someone who looked closer to ten. His short brown hair had become long and black, streaked with deep navy-blue highlights that shimmered under the light.
Despite the monstrous experiment, he had grown into a surprisingly handsome and striking boy. But then… he saw the inhuman features. His eyes once warm brown, now glowed a fierce neon blue, with vertical reptilian slits. His teeth had sharpened into the fangs of an apex predator.
Two glowing neon-blue stripes pulsed symmetrically along each side of his muscular neck, and three more streaked across his serratus muscles on both sides of his ribs. His arms were laced with glowing atomic veins, and his forearms were partially covered in Godzilla's black scales, the unmistakable mark of the Kaiju whose cells were used in the experiment. Even his fingernails had transformed into sharp, black claws.
Jacob stared in shock and horror. He looked like a monster, a human-Kaiju hybrid. Fear and confusion flooded his mind. He felt power coursing through his veins, raw, terrifying strength, but also something primal stirring within him.
The beast inside. He was afraid of losing control of it. He had seen what happened to those who did.
The day before, several of his fellow test subjects had lost control and gone berserk, attacking the scientists. The staff quickly pressed a button, triggering the explosives implanted in their chests. The memory of the explosion of their hearts being blown apart, haunted him.
The sound of their screams echoed endlessly in his head. That day, Jacob learned what defiance meant: death.
He became traumatized, terrified, and filled with resentment toward the scientists.
He understood that if he ever lost control, he would share the same fate. Looking around at the other surviving children, Jacob saw the more horrifying results of the experiment. Most of them had turned into grotesque, misshapen monstrosities, abominations that were barely human.
Only a few, both boys and girls, retained somewhat normal appearances. Yet, out of them all, Jacob and Alina appeared the most human.
What Jacob didn't know was that his transformation went far beyond what he could see. Deep inside, his biology had rewritten itself. His body had created an entirely new organ, the Nuclear Furnace, a reactor-living core capable of absorbing all forms of energy and converting radioactive materials into pure energy, endlessly fueling his power and regeneration.
Meanwhile, unseen by anyone in the physical world, Jacob's Gamer System, known as RENZO, silently watched everything. Like a ghost, RENZO couldn't interact with the world or with his still-unawakened host. With nothing else to do, RENZO kept a detailed record of Jacob's life in the "As I Written, Exomyth" book.
When bored, he would watch movies, take pictures of Jacob's key life moments, or play video games from across the Omniverse, within his own realm, The System Space. RENZO could sense that Jacob's awakening was near. His calculations estimated that it would happen in two years.
In the meantime, within System Space, RENZO often conversed with Alex and Rei, Jacob's deceased parents, who existed as soul orbs. He updated them about Jacob's life and condition. Yet, guilt weighed heavily on RENZO. He knew he had unintentionally worsened Jacob's suffering.
By altering Jacob's genetic trait into "Infinite Adaptability and Endless Evolution," he had made his best friend a perfect target for endless experimentation. The scientists exploited this, testing him multiple times each day, even while he slept. Still, Alex and Rei forgave him.
They understood that RENZO was only trying to protect their son in the only way he could. After all, their souls were bound together if Jacob died, RENZO would die as well. Before returning to their dormant state within the Storage Space, Jacob's parents made RENZO promise that he would stay by their son's side forever.
And so, RENZO vowed, no matter what happened, to never abandon Jacob.

This nightmare repeated every day for the child test subjects, children no older than six. Their lives followed a cruel, endless cycle: wake up, bathe, eat shitty food yet highly nutritious food, attend military classes, endure drug-induced brainwashing, emotional conditioning, and psychological manipulation. Afterward came brutal combat training… killing Kaiju or, worse, hunting down innocent human rebels who defied the government.
Then, another bath. Another bland dinner. Another round of Kaiju Cell infusions.
They would swallow emotion-suppressing drugs, lie down under lethal radiation for an hour "it made them stronger" due to their kaiju genes and then sleep for only a few short hours before the next cycle began.
That was the life of Jacob and every other child in the facility. A mechanical existence between pain and survival. Almost two years have passed… one year and eleven months since the experiments began.
By now, 99% of the test subjects 1,980 out of 2,000 had mutated beyond recognition and gone feral. One by one, the staff triggered their kill switches, ending their lives. Their bodies simply couldn't handle the Kaiju cells consuming them from within, no matter how many sedatives or suppressants were forced into their veins.
All the male test subjects were dead except one. Jacob, known only by his experiment ID: #J-355. Even himself no longer remembered his own real name.
Jacob had grown into a towering 6'11" (210.82 cm). His body radiated raw, primal power, every muscle refined into hardened strength. His face had matured again, resembling that of a 22 year old young man, even though barely two years had passed since his transformation began.
A month later, the final experiment commenced. The Head Scientist and his staff decided to gamble everything to merge 100% pure Kaiju DNA into the two surviving subjects: #A-021, a girl named Alina, and #J-355, Jacob. They believed if this worked, they could create perfect Kaiju-human hybrids.
Unknown to both Jacob and Alina, the facility had already prepared clones of them, in case they died or went feral. But what the staff didn't know… was that Jacob had changed in more ways than they realized. His body had developed immunity to every drug they used every sedative, obedience serum, and emotion suppressant had become completely ineffective.
Inside, his hatred for humanity had reached its peak. Yet, deep down, a fragile shred of humanity still kept him from losing himself entirely. The injections began...
Alina received a 100% concentration of Mothra's cells, while Jacob was infused with Godzilla's. Moments later, Alina's pod opened first. She stepped out tall, graceful, and radiant, her body now 6'11" with a divine blend of divine moth and human features. Her wings shimmered faintly, and her skin glowed with ethereal light.
She glanced toward Jacob's pod, worrying and tightening her chest.
Alina (thinking): "You'd better survive this, J-355…"
Like Jacob, Alina had forgotten her real name, her parents' faces, and almost every memory of her childhood. Despite her hatred for what had been done to her, her Mothra nature wouldn't allow her to hate humanity itself.
Then… It happened. Jacob's experimental pod exploded in a blinding burst of nuclear energy, vaporizing everything nearby. The shockwave threw scientists and guards across the chamber.
From within the smoke emerged a three meter tall humanoid Kaiju, radiating overwhelming nuclear heat. Jacob had become a Runaway Nuclear Beast… his feral form. RENZO, the Gamer System bound to Jacob, silently observed from his realm, naming the Jacob's form himself
RENZO: "Runaway Nuclear Beast" (he took cool pictures of Jacob's Runaway Nuclear Beast form. He put it on the "As I Written, Exomyth".
The instant Jacob's energy erupted, every Kaiju across the planet felt it. Godzilla's aura had returned and Mothra's, too. Across the world, ancient Kaiju stirred. Under the command of Ghidorah and Tiamat, they began to converge toward their location… to destroy them while they were in a weakened state.
The facility fell into chaos. Sirens blared. Scientists screamed. But Alina remained still.
Instead of fear, she felt peace. She could sense Jacob's soul… his pain, his rage and her instincts told her he wasn't her enemy. The staff grabbed their kill switches, prepared to end both test subjects.
Even in his feral state, Jacob's first instinct was not destruction… it was protection. He sensed Alina's danger and unleashed a pulse of atomic energy, releasing a massive EMP that fried the circuits of her implanted heart bomb just as a scientist pressed the detonation button.
Alina: "No!"
An explosion tore through Jacob's chest, smoke and radiation erupting from the wound. His body went still… lifeless. For a moment, the world held its breath.
Then, time itself slowed in RENZO's domain. A notification appeared before him:
» [Host Jacob: System Awakening Initiated]
» [1st Advancements "First Host Awakening Complete"]
Without hesitation, RENZO activated every healing protocol. Jacob's regeneration surged… faster than any Kaiju had ever displayed. Within a split second, his heart reformed, his body knitting back together.
Everyone who saw it trembled in terror.
Jacob lived. And this time, his wrath was absolute.
With a thunderous roar, he unleashed his blue atomic breath, reducing the entire facility to molten ash. Every human inside perished instantly… except for Alina. Alina, her wings unfurled, flew toward him. Jacob turned toward her, eyes burning with blue plasma.
Then, sensing danger from above, he grabbed her mid-air and shielded her as they plunged into the vast ocean below. They sank deep into a hidden underwater cavern beneath the Pacific Ocean. Minutes later, Jacob's monstrous form shrank back into his human body.
Exhausted and weakened, he collapsed… naked, 7'5" tall, his energy nearly depleted. He fell unconscious against Alina, who caught him gently. Alina's cheeks flushed red as she looked down at him.
Despite their mature appearances, both were still emotionally children… Alina was only eight years old, Jacob only six. Their minds couldn't yet comprehend adult emotions, and no impure thoughts crossed their innocent hearts.
Then, the air shimmered. A reality rift tore open around them, sucking both Jacob and Alina inside… along with chunks of uranium ore and debris. As they were pulled through, Alina wrapped her moth wings protectively around Jacob's sleeping body.
Alina (softly): "I've got you… J-355."
And then… They vanished into the rift.
