After the week-long experiment, the tribe was nearly annihilated. Of the twenty orcs stationed there, only five survived, and even they abandoned the settlement, fleeing the devastation. Within ten days, the once-thriving tribe was completely deserted. Not a single humanoid could be seen; the villages were eerily silent, the air heavy with the remnants of chaos.
Rahul, however, felt no fear. He had developed antidotes for his own organism, ensuring that he could study it without risk of infection. Standing amidst the thousands of corpses and abandoned structures, he saw the full potential of his creation and recognized an opportunity for further research.
He began a thorough investigation of the evolved specimens, meticulously observing their behavior, reproduction, and adaptation in this large, uncontrolled environment. For one month, Rahul worked tirelessly, analyzing specimens in situ, collecting data from thousands of infected bodies, and monitoring subtle changes in the bugs that had arisen during the large-scale outbreak.
His research yielded a groundbreaking discovery. Within the organism, he identified a unique protein, which he named Dahem Jormatia. Careful experimentation revealed that this protein had potent effects on human physiology. While it had limited or negligible influence on other species, in humans it acted as a kind of biological enhancer.
Through testing, Rahul observed the following effects in human bodies exposed to Dahem Jormatia:
Enhanced hormone production: The protein stimulated multiple hormone pathways, improving energy metabolism, growth factors, and cellular repair mechanisms.
Tissue optimization: Muscles, bones, and organs demonstrated accelerated regeneration and increased resilience under stress.
Neurological enhancement: Cognitive functions, reflexes, and memory consolidation improved measurably in controlled simulations.
Overall systemic improvement: Humans exposed to Dahem Jormatia showed higher endurance, faster recovery from injury, and greater adaptability to environmental stressors.
Rahul's lab notes reflected his fascination: the protein could unlock potential within the human body, providing a platform for creating the "perfect human organism." He deliberately chose not to apply it to other biological specimens — his focus was solely on improving human physiology, refining the body to withstand extreme conditions, enhance strength and cognition, and survive even in hostile environments.
For Rahul, the deserted tribe was no longer just a scene of destruction. It had become a living laboratory, providing him with thousands of samples and complete freedom to experiment. With Dahem Jormatia in his grasp, he envisioned a future where the human body could be enhanced far beyond natural limits — a foundation for the next stage of his research and the ultimate goal of his biological mastery.
After thoroughly studying the specimens and isolating the protein Dahem Jormatia, Rahul realized he could harness their potential on an unprecedented scale. He had hundreds of thousands of specimens at his disposal, and he knew their bodies contained the key to creating a substance that could enhance human physiology.
Using the specimens, he carefully extracted and refined their biological components, combining them with Dahem Jormatia to produce a potent elixir. He named this creation the "Power Potion." This liquid was capable of significantly enhancing human physical and cognitive abilities, acting as a concentrated distillation of his months of research and experimentation.
Over the next six months, Rahul dedicated himself entirely to this process:
Testing the protein on controlled samples
Improving his own physiology using the potion
Refining the extraction and stabilization process to produce a highly potent, shelf-stable liquid
By the end of this period, he had amassed thousands of vials of Power Potion, each one a culmination of meticulous biological engineering. He recognized its potential not just as a tool for personal enhancement, but as a marketable product.
Since Rahul was a prince, he faced no restrictions in his dealings. He planned to sell the Power Potion exclusively to the royal family and high-ranking nobility, marketing it as a rare byproduct of his unique biological research. Its rarity, potency, and association with his title ensured that it would be seen as both prestigious and invaluable.
The deserted tribe and the thousands of specimens it contained had become more than a testing ground — they had become the foundation of his empire in biology and commerce. With Dahem Jormatia and the Power Potion, Rahul had created a product that could revolutionize human physiology, and he now held the key to both scientific dominance and wealth in the main world.
