[Dr. Kureha Voss | Year X040]
> "They wanted gods.
I gave them predators."
I was twenty-seven when I cracked the first sequence.
They said it couldn't be done rewriting human neurology to integrate primal DNA without visible mutation.
They were wrong.
The R.END Project.
Raw Engineered Neural Drive.
One injection. One bond. Permanent.
No warped flesh. No animalistic features.
Just superhuman strength, sharpened instincts, and the quiet hum of evolution running through human veins.
Each R.END user can enter a heightened state I call the Apex State.
Duration: 30 minutes.
Effect: Full amplification of physical strength, reflexes, sensory perception, and instinctual combat ability.
One hundred thousand formulas. Perfectly indexed. I call them Code 1 to Code 100K .
Predax - hunters of the land: wolves, tigers, crocodiles.
Aerovox - masters of the sky: falcons, eagles, owls.
Kinsect - precision perfected: mantises, beetles, wasps.
Aquavore - abyssal titans: sharks, leviathans, deep-sea predators.
Primavore - the ancients. Only 100 formulas could be extracted from fossilized bones of extinct creatures.
> "I gave these 100 vials to the government. They are special… reserved for the elite."

[Dr. Kureha Voss | Year X060]
The alarms went off.
Flames devoured the lab first, then the blueprints, then the servers. Everything burned. All knowledge of R.END, every record of its creation… gone. Only the formulas survived.
I clutched a single vial my 101st formula, unlike anything I had ever made.
I began to address my team, to speak of the power, the responsibility, the legacy…
> "This formula, the 101st, it is unlike anything we ..."
The cold press of steel against my neck silenced me.
The shot echoed. The floor trembled. My words ended mid-sentence.
I fell.
The 101st formula my final creation vanished into their hands.
And as the world blurred, I thought ....
> I gave humanity evolution.
And in return… they stole the future.

[Government Broadcast | President Arven Holt – Year X070]
> "We are not victims of chaos.
We are its architects. And we are its solution."
When Dr. Voss was killed in X060, her lab burned. All blueprints, servers, and research were consumed by fire. Only the formulas survived, carefully recovered and secured.
Her notes confirmed that 100 Primavore formulas had been given to the government classified as the ultimate enhancement vials.
Her 101st formula, however, was lost during the attack a unique and untamed potential never recovered.
For ten years, we rebuilt from fragments, recovering what we could. But full replication was impossible. Only five species chains could survive stabilization.
Thus, X.END was born - stable, controlled, and deployable.

AUTHORIZED X.END SPECIES – X070
I call them Injector 1 to 5
Pirarucu - endurance and pain tolerance unmatched.
Tiger - reflex acceleration and instinctive precision.
Draft Horse - raw strength, sustained output.
Praying Mantis - surgical speed and accuracy.
Crow - intelligence, adaptability, and situational awareness.
X.END Apex State:
Duration: 45 minutes, expandable with training.
Effect: Amplifies physical strength, reflexes, and senses.
Safer than R.END; controlled without risk of collapse.
X.END was first deployed by the government to contain the breakers rogue R.END users who had stolen and misused formulas, causing violence and instability.
No berserker incidents.
No neural collapse.
No chaos in the streets.
> "The R.END era is over.
X.END is the future - stable, scalable, and ours to command.
This time… humanity holds the leash."
