Chapter 2
It has been 6 months since Jack escaped. Due to cracks in the shield, many other reaths also escaped.
Recently a new victim was found on the streets of the belling city which is also said to be the closest city to DAB city."
An uncle age person was reading the newspaper headline in the early morning and telling her daughter about it. His daughter (Apino) got disappointed and said not to read out loud as she still doesn't like the Reaths, especially her sister and she knows what's going on, thanks to social media.
She and her friend were getting ready for the job they recently got. Both of them are hired as the cook in the nuggets kitchen restaurant.
Apino and her friend (juliya) got ready and started moving to their job location. It can be seen that Apino is a little more than a friend to Juliya.
She enjoys walking with her and takes care of her more than a friend does. She even lives at her house.
Apino and Juliya reach their kitchen and start working. Both of them were quite talented. They used to work as a team while cooking.
Juliya takes care of the amount of ingredients and Apino was specialized in using them.
It was this time when they were cooking and a fatso reath came there. His ability was to eat. His overweight and obesity on his body were expressing how much capacity he has. It was common for them to get mad and start destroying anything in their vision if they don't get to eat soon.
Unfortunately, it happened here also, the fatso lost control and started destroying everything. Juliya fell and told Apino to run with her. It was weird at the beginning for Apino, but once she realized the situation, she started running from the back door of the kitchen.
The bitter luck this time also, they were caught by another fatso. They knew that Girls are good in town and sell the tastiest food.
What they planned was to take them and keep them making food until they die. It doesn't seem much but for fatso, it is nothing less than a treasure.
Girls had to accept to walk with them as they had no other option. They went with them to the area of the city which had the territory of fatso. It seems like a school with different groups but this time the whole city is divided into different groups.
Fatso are harmless only if they keep getting food. Juliya got the plan to escape from them. Once they reached their kitchen, she asked for some extra ingredients in which she also mentioned bringing the herb Valerian for some extra taste. She succeeded in making them believe that it is a secret ingredient to their food.
In actuality, it was the herb used for sleeping disorders, and it works even better for people who like nothing more than eating and sleeping.
They succeed in their plan, making everyone sleep and escape. But didn't know where to go?
Apino had great navigating skills. She can tell by looking at stars and shadows to navigate their route.
Once they escaped from there, they got successful in getting under the ground where people usually go to stay safe from reaths. However, it isn't as safe as they think. They reached underground but it was the Lusty monsters' territory. They fulfill their end by destroying their mate while intimating with them.
Both girls were afraid, and Apino fell and got unconscious due to unbearable future thoughts and the current situation.
Juliya couldn't bear her friend lying unconscious there. It was so painful for her that suddenly she turned into the beast form of Jack.
It didn't take much time in tearing and destroying everything creature there. Once it was sure that there was no one left there to harm them. Beasty picked her up in its big hands and took her back home.
Once they reached home. Juliya was confronted by Alvis In front of a mirror, a spectral figure, who expressed frustration and anger.
He argued that just because she had helped them in the desert, it didn't give her the right to take on the responsibility indefinitely. Alvis made it clear that he wouldn't side with her, even after Beasty and Flirty accepted her to take all control.
Responding with a gentle smile, Juliya acknowledged Alvis' grievances but chose to extend her forgiveness. She reminded him that when he needed her help, he hadn't been as vocal in his objections. Juliya emphasized the unique bond they shared, akin to that of a parent and child.
Alvis retreated into the shadows, attempting to awaken the dormant Jack, who had been in a deep slumber for the past six months. However, much to Alvis' dismay, Jack remained unresponsive.
With a twisted satisfaction, Juliya revealed her knowledge of not just culinary arts, but also medicinal remedies. She taunted Alvis, declaring that Jack had several more years of forced sleep ahead of him, punctuating her words with eerie laughter.
Alvis went back to the jack near the cage and delved into deep thought as everything unfolded.
3 Months Ago -
The environment, though challenging, was bearable. Reaths were scattered throughout the vast desert, some adapting to their surroundings and using them to their advantage to hunt.
Each encounter pushed them to their limits, battling different Reaths and traversing the scorching desert. Exhaustion weighed heavily on Jack's Reaths, especially the "Beasty" who had depleted all its energy. Alvis and Jack were fatigued as well, with Jack rapidly losing strength due to constant shifting without proper sustenance.
Together, they had managed to trap "Black Eye" in the void, rendering its cosmic energy useless. The malevolent thoughts of Black Eye had led to its imprisonment.
Then, Jack collapsed into the sand and sank into it, hearing the voice of his mother amidst it all. "Wake up, Jack! I am here. Wake up."
Alvis perked up upon hearing this and, despite his weakened state, tried to defend Jack from her. But when he heard her say, "I am your mother, here to help you. A mother can endure much for her child, just as I can do the same for all of you," he became alert.
As she approached Alvis, he sank to the ground, begging her to end his life. It was evident that she possessed something capable of driving others insane. Ignoring his pleas, she advanced towards Jack, who recognized her voice even in his semi-conscious state. He welcomed her and willingly offered his chair. Flirty found this suspicious, being a shrewd creature, but he decided to side with the apparent victor, accepting her with a cunning smile.
When the moment came for an attack, Beasty lunged toward the mother but was struck with such force that it was sent flying into the void. Upon its return, it behaved like a tamed dog, showing no signs of resistance.
However, whatever influence the mother's presence had over Alvis dissipated, and he regained his senses. The same person who had begged her for death now turned aggressive and stood against her. He witnessed Jack lying worn out on the floor, with Flirty by his side and Beasty at the mother's feet.
"What do you want?" the mother asked, demonstrating that she could command Beasty to attack Alvis.
Alvis seized Jack and brought him close to the cage where "Black Eye" was held captive, demanding, "Who is she?" It was then that Black Eye, positioned behind him, responded, "She was imprisoned in the same cage I am right now, and she did escape just in the nick of time as you opened the door to trap me."
"How is that possible? We must take action. It's not right to leave her out there for long. She is a skilled chemist, and whatever scientific knowledge Jack possessed, I now possess. So, what part of Jack is she really?" Alvis inquired, determined to address the situation.
It's when she tracked the same and the closest city in which Apino Existed
Today -
Alvis: You know Apino is lying. She doesn't have a real father. He was killed along by Apino's twin sister who has the ability to turn into a white snake.
Mother Juliya: Yes, I know, sweetie. I know more than you think. Do you know why? Because I am the Mother.
Alvis: Why do you have to act so omniscient? Why are you living with them? What do you want? And if you know so much, then you should know that Jack's energy is draining fast. At this rate, we will die within a week. You can't keep him sleeping forever.
Mother: He can charge whenever I want. All we need is to connect the chair and the jack. But that doesn't mean he has to sit on it.
And I doubt if you are really a smart version of my son. Because you haven't realized that he is the real father of that girl. He was never murdered by his daughter. It's what her second reath daughter thought, as it was hard for her to remember what she did after she turned into a snake. And as she was eating her mother, her father took her sister and ran away. That's what made her think that all of them are dead.
Alvis: Second reath daughter? Do you mean Apino is also...?
What is Apino capable of? And Mother Juliya knows so much? Is she really a part of Jack? And why was she trapped? Which part is she really?
Apino is a daughter of a great scientist "Mr. Millian" who was known due to his wealth. Mr. Millian used to work at DAB organization. Their primary target was to pull out the good Reath from human beings that can help in making a peaceful world. But due to lack of humanity in actual humans, there were so many experiments that failed.
Although the main focus was to bring out the peaceful man from inside the violent man, things went vice versa. It became easy to pull out the demon from an angel instead of an angel from a devil.
Mr. Millian was very pressured with the results. He wanted to do something that could help with the situation, while his seniors started working on E-tox and started getting more results. In no time the Metal skull was created whose job was to eliminate anyone the organization wants.
DAB was using the research of Mr. Millian in making weapons. But due to experimentations on the kids and youngsters. It was hard to control what they desired. That's why most of them were eliminated by Metal Skull and as the results, their remaining were used in further research.
Mr. Millian was worried so he thought to discuss this matter with his beloved friend Mr. Bulwark. They were good Colleague friends. At that time, Mr Millian took his twin daughters to Mr. Bulwark who was playing some chemistry puzzle games with his son Jack.
It seemed like Jack got his smartness from his dad. From the other side, Mrs. Bulwark (Juliya) appeared and asked them to have seats while she prepared the food.
Mr Millian discussed his matter about his research, in the suggestion , Mr. Bulwark asked him to leave the organization and keep his research safe as he should work on it separately.
In the meantime Juliya appeared with the tasty food, when she noticed that Apino's younger twin sister was sick and she gave her herbs from her garden. It was obvious that everyone in that room was special.
That was the moment when DAB trespassed the security of Bulwark's house. With the number of people out there it was impossible to compete with them. As a result Bulwark made the same bomb Alvis made for the first time with the same mechanism.
He carefully placed the bomb on the door, ensuring its stability, and led the children towards the back exit, which provided a path for their escape into the jungle. Meanwhile, Juliya utilized her Herbs and chemist knowledge to enhance the bomb, imbuing it with a unique element.
This modification not only caused immediate harm to those present, but its effects lingered in the air. Anyone who is able to get inside home without the protection of specialized masks would succumb to a deep slumber.
It was an intense chase when the DAB caught Apino's sister and injected her with the E-tox. It was when she started transforming into a snake like creature and things started getting worse. Millian had realized that it is going to be nothing less than a challenge of rescuing his daughter and safeguarding his last remaining vials containing his groundbreaking research, In a desperate act, he ensured his invaluable research to Juliya, recognizing her expertise in chemistry, and asked her to enhance and refine it so it can work same as e-tox, give the same transformation but in the result the person doesn't lose his reality.
Juliya didn't had enough resources to do something with that so she made it better as much as she could and went toward injecting it in Millian, however things didn't go as planned and it was accidently injected in Apino, which gave her also the same transformation abilities. That ability not only helped her to transform her into a giant but a beautiful butterfly but also gave her access to the cosmic shield around her.
She tried to escape with his father and members of the bulwark family, but it was hard for her to carry all those and adapt to her transformation.
As a result she took only her father, when a metal skull appeared. He went forward to steal the last modified working vial, Juliya learned that it is going to be hard to run with everything she has, and there is no time to save everyone.
The parents collectively decide to save their only son, however they are never going to learn how this all happened and why he got such abilities that they are going to give with Doctor Milian research. So what juliya did was put the needle in her body and sucked her blood.
Mother Juliya: There is a DNA in each blood cell, and each DNA consist of 6,000,000,000 bits of information, if I am able to merge it with whatever power my boy possess after he takes it, a part of me will be able to tell him everything and also keep him safe.
As she injected Jack with the syringe, things took a sideways turn. He began transforming into a young beast, losing control over himself. The effects were no different from those caused by the E-tox version. The only variation was that he bypassed everyone and fled. It was at that moment Jack's parents took their final breaths, succumbing to death at the hands of the metal skull.
After a few days Apino and her father learned about Jack turning back into human and took him to an orphanage, after spectating him for long he learned that Jack doesn't remember much of it, but how her parents were killed by a metal skull.
Other than that, the way Jack acted was very positive, he even tried to help the murdered of his parents. It could mean that he is too good, or his research is actually inside him, that's the reason he helped him in every matter and kept him safe in school to study more.
The biggest problem was there to keep himself hidden from his second daughter, or she would not try to kill him again.
That's why he kept himself hidden from everyone. When he failed to prevent Jack from being exposed to E-tox, he made it his mission to save him from transforming into a real monster. A monster that never hesitates to kill someone, and for whom the trust of someone is a joke.
Jack had to keep himself awake and alert amidst it all, ensuring he didn't betray anyone's trust or cause harm to anyone in order to maintain his duality.
The duality within a human does not refer to the number of personalities, but rather the nature of those sides. Within Jack, there are now two distinct sides: one that is poised to betray the trust of Apino and is prepared to kill if necessary, while the other side longs for peace and refuses to entertain the thought of causing harm to anyone.
How long Jack will be able to take care of this duality, and the real question is who will win?
Alvis went to Trickster and asked for his help. It was only Trickster who could manipulate Juliya and make her step up from the chair.
In the beginning the trickster was afraid to step out as he is all talk but no work, he cant fight, he can't dodge all he can do is talk. but after convincing Alvis, he accepted it.
Trickster stepped in with a smirk on his face: You are not the real part of him .
On hearing this Juliya got worried : what are you talking about, I was trapped here all along, and I am the oldest one in you.
Trickster confidently continued, "You should know that I am the smarter version of him." He acted as Alvis to trick Juliya "the one who has learned how things work. The way you make him sleep, cook, and work is completely different. The real one never knew about it."
Juliya's expression turned worried as she protested, "What are you talking about? I have been trapped here all along, and I am the oldest one among you."
With a smirk, the trickster continued, "All of us are part of him, divided into splits. You were forcefully added to us, trapped by our defense mechanism."
Juliya's eyes welled up, but she tried to manipulate the situation, saying, "You are a spitting image of your father, who also talks and acts smart to understand the situation. But I can't deny that your other parts also impress me. Flirty always changes his sides to the winning team, the Beast's love for playful chaos, and Jack, just like his mother."
As she pointed at Jack on the floor near the cage of Dark-I, she noticed his fingernails emitting a black aura.
Losing her temper, Juliya threw trickster aside, accusing him, "Betrayal! You betrayed me. Where is Jack???"
She instantly realized that Dark-I is acting as Jack, and the real jack is missing.
Trickster, still recovering from the hit, struggled to get up and retorted, "What's wrong? Are you looking for your son? I thought you didn't need him."
Trickster has a weak body, that's why he took a major hit even in the void, that made even Alvis clear that each of them can hurt each other in the void. However no one can die but get hurt.
Juliya became even more upset, she stood up and came running to the trickster that she is still thinking is Alvis and struck him again, sending him flying, demanding, "Where is he? This is the void, nowhere to hide."
Trickster, wincing in pain, replied, "But we can go farther from the chair."
Juliya's eyes widened, and she rushed to the chair. There, she saw The real Alvis helping Jack regain his energy, supporting him on the chair: He really chooses the winning side.
Juliya's reaction was intense as the chair started constantly changing its shape and size. It altered its color, design, shape, and size according to every spilt who ever sat on it.
As Jack opened his eyes, emitting a white and beautiful aura, Juliya tried to stop him. However, the aura spread around explosively, throwing Juliya backward.
Trickster, now with a swollen face and a broken arm, realized, "I've figured it out. You are not a part of us; you were forcefully injected. The chair naturally rejects you, so you have to infect it to fit your size."
"All I had to do was reset the chair, removing all the external changes and restoring it to its original form," Alvis concluded.
Jack regained his consciousness and approached his mother. Disappointed, he uttered, "I trusted you. I thought you would help us."
Juliya defended herself, saying, "And I did. I got you out of that desert and helped you survive. I couldn't directly access the chair, so I had to make changes and work accordingly. But upon closer inspection, I realized that my sons couldn't coexist peacefully. That's why I sought the help of an expert to find a solution."
"You carry two conflicting formulas within you, the E-tox and Reath Extractor, causing this duality," Juliya explained. "Can't you see how your white and black auras cancel each other out? I was trying to help you, to bring you all together again."
Looking at everyone, Jack declared, "We are all part of a single person, but we deserve our own lives now. We can't simply vanish and become mere fragments. And I can't allow that to happen to others either."
Approaching trickster, Jack emitted his aura through his hand, initiating healing. Trickster began to heal instantly, realizing their newfound abilities, and remarked, "I have the ability to take care of my family. Now you have to decide if you're part of the family or if you'd rather return to your cell."
Feeling cornered, Juliya reluctantly accepted their conditions. Jack sat on the chair, his eyes opening in the real world.
Upon opening his eyes, Jack found himself surrounded by the same traps he had encountered in the very first Apino house. Spotting the real Apino, he couldn't contain his frustration, "You again?"
Unintentionally, he handed the chair to Alvis, who grabbed Apino by her throat in the very same moment, demanding answers, "So what are you? What can you do?"
Flirty, true to his nature, started making comments, "She's the one I've been thinking about every night."
Juliya hit Flirty on the arm in the void, scolding him, "Respect! Now you have a girl in the group. But, to be honest, I've had similar thoughts."
Here the worst thing that could possibly happen, happened, Flirty started flirting with Juliya: I believe she would think the same about you cutie.
It was like flirty and Juliya were getting in their zone, while Alvis questioned Apino about her powers.
Apino started showing her skills. She created a cosmic ball in her palm and struck Alvis with it, sending him flying in the room. However, she also took a punch from Alvis, and cracks appeared on her face, only to be swiftly healed.
Jack asked him to come back and let him talk to her, Flirty got mad and complained about Alvis having all the fun. Flirty pulled him forcefully and sat on a chair while he was healing.
Jack cant take the chair when he is healing his reaths.
Flirty got up in the real world with a bit stronger body: Hey Love? you are actually some fun. He got up to hit her, while she blasted again. Flirty take the hit and kept going.
Apino: Oh I forgot, you are a reckless one, and I hate you most, you are disrespectful, pervert, bastard.
Hitting him again with another blast.
Flirty, noticing Apino's thin shield of cosmic energy on her skin and ability to blast energy, and said "I wonder how you will feel in my bed", That ended up making her even angrier.
Apino retaliated by attempting to blast him again, but this time Flirty punched her, and his hands started emitting a black aura. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a version of Jack with black eyes and a black aura.
Apino's blast was nothing more than a slight breeze, and she grew worried. Nevertheless, she utilized her martial arts skills to engage in a fierce fight.
Overwhelmed once again, Jack threw everyone back, declaring, "Can't we all just calm down for a moment?"
Taking charge, Jack reclaimed the chair, which transformed from a black spiky throne to a white coronation chair, changing color and size.
"I'm not here to fight," Jack stated firmly.
However, Apino's father interjected, "But we are," and hit Jack on the head with a pan, rendering him unconscious. As Jack regained consciousness, he found himself bound to the chair in the real world, with Apino's father holding a gun to his head, and Apino preparing to attack with her cosmic ball.
"We want to talk to Juliya. Let her out," Apino's father demanded.
Jack, unable to free Juliya, responded, "I can't do it. Things have been reset, and the chair won't let her sit on it again."
"In that case, you're out as well," Apino's father threatened, placing his finger on the trigger.
As the situation intensifies, can Jack survive, and who will come to his rescue? What will become of Juliya, trapped in the void indefinitely?
Alvis jumped out, resulting in shrinking of body and losing things around him.
I know a way you can talk to juliya.
Apino looked at him curiously, but she stayed at her point:
My father and juliya are working on antidote for reath. And we know very well that you all are against it.
If you give juliya to us, we can work on antidotes and cure the world in which you will also be cured. But if you don't, all of you will die right here.
Alvis said what we can expect from him: Cut the crap I know everything. Your father is working with juliya, and you are keeping an eye on her. But unwillingly you also got the feelings to fall her. Juliya is stupid enough not to see that, but I'm Alvis, way smarter than you all.
Alvis freed himself and stood up: Getting back to the point. I know how you can talk to juliya.
We all can hear each other inside so I can be your landline, which you can use to send and receive messages.
No, Apino's dad shouted angrily. We want to talk direct juliya. And we want her here to help us.
Alvis said with his cold attitude: I knew this was coming. So here's a little flashback you can use to get Juliya, but I won't prefer it.
Juliya shouted from the void: no alvis, that is not ready yet. We can't reveal that to them just yet.
Jack also got confused: What are you talking about? What you guys did when I was not there.
Alvis started talking: While we were in the desert, we started, wait! Actually, Juliya started hypnotising multiple reaths using her herbs and potions knowledge and started using them for their own. She wanted them to fight for them and keep her safe. That's how we actually survived.
However, that wasn't the only thing she made reaths do for herself. She also made them work on the underground lab deep in the desert where she used powers of reaths to get resources and make machines using my knowledge.
While fighting reaths, we found one who can control minds and also can take place like we do.
The only difference was that we changed place in one body while he was able to jump from one body to another and use it as a vessel.
When Juliya controlled it, she started experimenting on him and learned that it could help transfer our consciousness also to other bodies. That means we all can live our different lives without waiting in line to get on a chair.
If we are able to get some good source of energy like Apino has in her. Maybe we can use it and get the juliya out.
Apino found it interesting but dangerous at the same time. She knew if this goes right, she can have only juliya all by herself but if it backfired she can also lose a little juliya she has forever.
But it was a chance everyone had to take.
Everyone agreed on giving it a chance. Alvis explained the whole process about how things actually work.
It's the same as switching chairs for Jack. Whenever the personality is shifted, the chair changes its size and shape according to it so it can fit on it and take complete control.
Therefore, we might need someone who is willing to give up his chair and accept it as its own.
The worst part is that we need someone alive. Because a dead heart doesn't work in this scenario.
Apino said without wasting any time. I can help.
Alvis smiled and said, "You can't." Your body isn't suitable for that, but his body is. As he points at Apino's father.
Apino was shocked. She never hated alvis smile that much before.
Why the hell are you playing with me? You know if I agree to that and we lose it, I will lose two important people in my life.
Alvis: And if we succeed, the two important people in your life will be in one.
Apino: No, I can't accept it, and what's wrong with me, why can't I be the vessel.
We need a source of energy to run the machine, and what my mind says is that you could be the source. I have seen your cosmic energy, and I know you have far greater power than any of us.. And if you are not here, then who will run it.
But even if we succeed, the energy in you can burn juliya consciousness.
Your dad is not so strong, and because he has spent more time with juliya, he is more accepting than you are.
Finally, Alvis gave an idea that everyone could agree on.
We don't have to lose, dad. We can take backup of your dad's mind and upload it back.
Apino asked with frustration: Why can't you do the same with juliya's mind, just take her backup and upload it somewhere.
Alvis replied: Juliya doesn't have her actual mind. When she took the chair, she modified it according to her needs.
That can be a real problem. No one wanted it, but everyone agreed on it.
They started moving towards the lab. Alvis knew security locks, so he started unlocking them.
Due to being out for so long, he started getting tired.
Alvis was unable to continue, so Jack started healing him instantly in the viod.
He started charging alvis and giving him stamina. His palms were emitting light, making it obvious that he was giving stamina and energy to the alvis on the chair.
Alvis kept going, unlocking every door and disarming every trap.
Finally, they reached the lab where juliya had assembled the machine, and some reaths were working under her spell.
Most of them looked like the reaths from the DAB institute. Even after juliya became part of Jack. She still remembered the way the lab of DAB looked.
Once preparing everything, they started the procedure of transferring consciousness.
Jack lay on one side of the machine while Apino's father did on the next one.
It was the first time when Flirty was also getting nervous.
Apino pulled the lever and started giving energy as the battery.
Apino had the DNA samples of Juliya, which she placed in the machine, so only juliya can be extracted, not others.
The process begins, and it starts working. The rays travelling through pipes indicated that the consciousness is being travelled from one body to another.
The process machine was unable to handle so much energy, which resulted in an explosion.
But the result seemed promising. Alvis fell down on the floor, laughing hard. And then he said
The duality isn't only two people who don't like each other fighting side by side, but it is also accepting two people for whom you have different kinds of love, and you want those two to have them, yet you can't do it.
Alvis was surely enjoying the situation. Apino ran towards his father, which should be juliya till now. She was confused about who to call. Her father or Juliya.
Juliya opened her eyes in the real world, looking at Apino holding her and saying, "It worked."
Apino didn't know how to feel. Suddenly, juliya started suffocating. She was losing her life.
What's going on? Alvis... help? She is losing her life. Anyone? Anything ? Please help.
Juliya smiled and said. Everything you need to cure this world is in you and my son. That's what duality is.
Saying this, she lost her life. The flirty couldn't handle the grief. He was so mad that he just jumped and flew up in the air tearing every layer in the way until he was out in the sky.
It was unbearable to him when he screamed so loud in the air that every possible reath heard in the desert. And every one of those reaths who heard his voice started healing, getting back to normal human.
Ignoring everything, he kept screaming louder and louder. Screaming so loud also split flirty into two parts. One was heartbroken, and the other was flirty himself.
They didn't actually divide, they were different from the beginning, but flirty merged with him so he could keep him around, and no one bothered him.
Jack was divided into 7 parts:
The one possess sharp intellect but lack physical strength. - Alvis
The one holds immense physical power but struggles mentally. - Beast
The one desires nothing yet seems to have everything. - Jack
The one craves everything yet holds nothing. - Dark- I
The one feels broken but has the gift to mend others' wounds. - Broken
The one flirts with everyone yet remains unloved by anyone. - Flirty
The one deceives the world but cannot face reality. - The Trickster/The Manipulator
But only broken Jack had the healing power. Screaming so loud made him fall back from the sky when the Apino realised that he had the healer in him. And she can use him to heal everyone.
She used her energy to slow down his fall and save him. That's when she saw the research of juliya.
It was research for project 7. There are seven days in a week, seven gates of hell, and seven gates of heaven.
Project 7 was specifically designed to make a cure for reaths when a metal skull went rampage.
It is about a person who will be divided into seven parts with the existence of a duality. When 6 of them are divided into two parts, it will be on the seventh one to choose the right thing.
Until now, juliya had only scene 6, and seventh was juliya. She had completely believed that juliya was the healer and not foreign substance
But that's when juliya revealed that she is not the healer and he is hidden somewhere. Apino wanted to keep working with Juliya to learn more about the healer.
After so much explanation of juliya, Apino was still not able to believe that she ie foreign substance and not the healer, that's why Juliya all alone made the plan to not only help her son to coexist but also pull out the healer.
Juliya had understood the duality of reaths of Jack's nature. If someone is a healer, he must be the sick one or broken one. She didn't see anyone sick in the void, which meant that it was broken.
But he won't come out as easily.
To pull him out, it was important to go through something impossible. That's why juliya had planned from the beginning to sacrifice herself so she can actually see who is the real healer.
Alvis started realizing that there were 3 phase of Juliya's plan and
Phase 1: create a machine and give all the access to as well as make him believe that it is possible
Phase 2: Use Apino as the energy source so she won't sacrifice herself
Phase 3: Break heart of broken to reveal broken's power
And that's what duality is. The one who has experienced the biggest loss knows how to heal others.
Apino burst into tears. She didn't know that it was all planned by juliya.
Now they have a healer. And they can work on proceeding to heal others. From now on, a new journey will start where Apino and Jack will work on healing others.
For now the chapter of this story ends here.
Juliya's Research:
Jack was part of Project 34, a laboratory where several files were kept, including Project 3, Project 33, and Project 333.
Project 3 was created to fight against evil reath. And to fight against Evil Reaths an attempt was made to create him with as much goodness as possible, with an abundance of strength added to it to ensure it could handle any challenges without harming anyone.
However, this success became his weakness. Whenever he was sent to fight against reath, he never utilized his powers, so as not to cause harm. He didn't discriminate between good and bad; Project 3 never attacked anyone.
Thus, Project 3 was kept in containment, and its powers were transferred to Project 33. An effort was made to create distinct personalities within Project 33, capable of making decisions based on circumstances. Additionally, the attempt was made to prevent Project 33 from being overly good.
Project 33 was powerful, but when it came to choosing between good and bad, it always made mistakes. This led to guilt and responsibility burdening Project 33, ultimately tearing him apart and killing him.
It became clear that they needed someone who could not only make decisions between good and bad but also collaborate and build each other's strength rather than weaknesses.
So, Project 333 began, repeating the same experiment with a focus on collaboration between personalities.
Project 333 was successful, but not in the way they had expected. It featured three personalities that could collaborate, but all of them were inclined towards evil. These three resided within the same body but emerged at their discretion, depending on the situation.
Each of them had their own names and powers.
First was Mirage. He possessed the ability to create convincing illusions that could mislead others genuinely. These illusions could be used for defense or attack, making Mirage adept at manipulation, deception, and confusion.
Next was Sharr. Sharr had the power to tap into the negative emotions within others, such as anger, fear, and hatred, suppressing and controlling them. With this power, Sharr sowed discord and fear among his enemies, becoming skilled in mental warfare.
Lastly, there was Makr. Makr had a unique ability to blend seamlessly into any environment, almost disappearing from plain sight. He excelled at espionage, infiltration, and gathering information covertly. He could decipher any conspiracy, understand subtle language, and craft cunning and effective strategies to achieve his goals. His power might also be linked to "seeing the future" or having an uncanny understanding of the indirect future.
The DAB organization made its biggest mistake by creating Project 333, which eventually led to the rise of Evil Reath as its leader. Harnessing Sharr's power of invisibility, Makr's cunning, and Mirage's illusion abilities, they formed their own separate organization.
Following this development, DAB discontinued any further projects and established a school to control all the Evil Reath and their powers.
During this time, Apino's father secretly initiated Project 34 Serum, without DAB's approval, and which was modified by Jack's mother.
Project 34, also known as Project 7, created seven personalities within Jack. Initially, Jack's body transformed into a beastly form resembling a wild animal.
Apino's father had been disappointed by the failure of his experiment, so he arranged for Jack to get admission at the same reath school while keeping a close watch on him. During this observation, he realized that Jack was still good at heart, with many virtues hidden within him.
He understood that only a part of Jack had emerged, and the rest remained imprisoned. To bring out the other personalities, he needed to provoke Jack, and that's why Apino's father spread a false rumor among some school children, claiming that Jack was an evil genius who could help them escape.
Following this plan, Apino's father formed a fake group with Jack and showed them a fake death, all to trigger the activation of all the personalities within Jack.
Apino's Father was the one who helped him from every situation in the shadows.
