《Project: Massacre》Chapter 3: The Injection
Advertisement
3 days earlier...
Professor Vallard was working on his chemical injection in the Pluto Laboratory. He manually labels all of his substances that he creates. After the work day, he usually stays behind to experiment with possible compounds the Pluto townspeople might like to buy. He was recently working on two special substances that happen to look the same in appearance, but they, by all means, do not have the same effect. He sells these side mixtures to other people, so he can get money because the government doesn’t pay him very much.
The substances that he has been working on are: (IDI) Instant Death Injection and (SIE) Situational Intelligence Enhancement. When the Instant Death Injection reaches the blood flow it immediately stops the heart. It is a quick and easy way to commit murder and there is no way for the autopsy to figure out what happened. Out of all of the test subjects, there was not a single malfunction, so this mixture was ready to hit the market.
Meanwhile, the SIE was not complete. Currently, all the SIE does is gradually boost a human’s problem solving and situational intelligence. It boosts comprehension and computation skills but the social intelligence stays the same. So this mixture makes the person super smart when figuring out problems and strategizing but explaining and interacting with people stay the same. Professor Vallard was trying to figure out how to boost social intelligence, so the mixture was not complete.
Professor Vallard had a dozen vials of the IDI, and there was a line of about 25 people waiting to buy the IDI. He didn’t have enough to sell it to everyone, even after the latest batch of the dozen, so he went to the back of his lab to get more unlabeled bottles. He quickly labeled them and went to the door to illegally sell his mixture. Each bottle retailed for $40 dollars, and by the end of the line, each bottle was sold.

When Professor Vallard went back to his desk to work on the SIE, he couldn’t find his only remaining bottle. He instantly knew what had happened to the bottle. He must’ve accidentally given in to one of the people in line.
He grabbed his hat and sprinted out of the door.
Present time...
Willow was walking home from her new job at the PED. She decided to cut through one of the major tunnels to get to the residential mountain. She then found her boss Zayne unconscious and lying on the ground. She bent down to see if he was alright.
“Zayne? Hello?” Willow called out to him while she was in the process of shaking him to make sure he didn’t just fall asleep.
No response came from Zayne. Willow was very nervous, she had gone to school with him and had viewed him as one of her friends.
A professor came running down the tunnel, he appeared to be in a hurry, and he definitely had a clear objective in mind. He appeared to be in his late fifties and was starting to bald. He had been running all throughout the town to find the SIE. He had not tested it on humans quite yet, and he was sure it could have detrimental effects. Then he shrugged off that thought because he was also the one to create a deadly injection.
He decided that the real reason he was after it was because he forgot to write down the proportions of the ingredients. His plan was to have a finished product and use his substance copier to make duplicates of the mixture. He was the only person that knew which ingredients were used in it, so he would just put those into the machine and copy it, and the machine would spit out an exact copy with the correct proportions.

The professor spotted Zayne, and he breezed passed Willow and kneeled down next to Zayne. Vallard suspected someone used the IDI on the young man on the ground, so he reached out to his neck to check his pulse, which he expected wouldn’t be there.
Instead, the professor felt a rapid pulse.
“Who are you?!” Willow exclaimed.
“Vallard. Professor Vallard.”
“What do you want?”
“To save this young man.”
Vallard put Zayne on his back and walked away leaving an awestruck Willow behind.
Willow got up off of her knees and sprinted to keep up with Vallard.
“Where are you going?” asked Willow.
“Um... to my office... is there a problem?”
“Well... you kind of have a person behind your back, and you act suspiciously.”
“Pshhh... don’t mind that, follow me and tell me all you know about this man.”
Vallard thought perhaps this man was the one that was injected with the SIE. He also pondered that he also could be unconscious from being beaten up, he did look hurt.
Willow and Vallard had made it to Vallard’s office, and Zayne was somehow still alive, but he was not conscious.
There was a television on in the lab that reported many deaths with unknown causes all within an hour of each other. The injection must’ve worked.
Zayne was put on the table so Vallard could test him. Vallard put a needle that he stole from the health department into Zayne.
“Ouch!” yipped Zayne, “Why did you do that?!”
Willow and Vallard froze...

Beneath No Sky: Chronicles of the Atmospheric Sector
After bringing themselves back from the brink of annihilation, humanity's future seemed bleak. However, it's remnants, throwing aside the old order and donning a new mantle of progress aimed to rise above their ancient disputes and go forward as one. Once the Earth reached it's natural limit, and colonies around Terra and Luna had shown promising results, humanity finally decided to make the move to the stars. Believing this to be the start of a new age, they eagerly poured across the solar system and further beyond, greeting what space had to offer with hope and optimism. It was misplaced, however, for humanity's traditional quarrels soon resurfaced and engulfed a now interplanetary empire of many races.As the Earth Empire burned and an intense depression overtook the once optimistic people, some held out hope. They theorized that their problems were born of an inherent sense of home and, in order to rid humanity, now comprising of the Terrans as well as all the other known species of the galaxy, of this burden, decided to move far away from civilized space, into uncharted depths, to start anew. Some 200 years have passed since then, and those hopeful ones have finally found a place to settle on. Firmly planting their flag in paradise, they called this untouched land "Eden" and declared the beginning of a true new age, the age of After Eden.Trouble, however, seemed to still be hounding them, as barely three years after its founding, Eden finds itself at war with a seemingly uncommunicative and uncompromising enemy that far outclasses the odd pirates they were used to facing. A new era of peace, marked by an immediate conflict. Time will tell if Eden, the Grand Experiment, truly is as great as it's supposed to be. ---------------------------------------- This is a sci-fi, character driven, military space drama. Multiple POV protagonists and lots of unnecessary detail. Somewhat psychological. My first work on this website.

Indomitable Marvel
-This is a wish-fulfillment story that is in the MCU universe and will follow the MCU in my own way. The goal is to blend my story in and around the MCU. -It will be a while, a very long while before I get to the actual MCU storyline. -The story may seem a bit slow depending on what you're after. -Updates will be slow. -He does not start op. -Be warned I'm a below-average writer, I need to work on my details and wording, and probably everything else. Expect quality fluctuations. -((( Useful feedback is much appreciated. ))) -This will have a harem since my last story didn't have one. --Expect badly written lemon scenes. They will be marked for an easy skip for those who don't want to read it. If you can handle all that, then welcome aboard. -The Asgardian Theoric is about to get a second chance. [[[ https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Theoric_(Earth-616) ]]] -The story starts before the MCU where he will grow his abilities on his way to becoming indomitable. -1st volume: Prologue -2nd volume: Troll War - (ch.12-59)-3rd volume: Hidden Forces - (ch. 60-???)-4th volume: Olympians-5th volume: Mutants-6th volume: MCU-7th volume: Darkness???-8th volume: ??? ___________________________________To help answer some questions people might have. - No beast companions and as of right now no plans for beast companions. (But then again Hela does have Fenris...)- No kingdom-building,- The beginning of the story puts a lot of people off because I didn't go the normal route people would like, and they don't tend to like the troll arc.- He also starts a little rash and seems a little weak because his powers easily drain him, some of this is explained later though and fixed by Gaea, but many miss this and only concentrate on the fact that he isn't being and doing what they think he should.- I should also explain that he has some memories that were locked away and then deleted because of his rashness. This was simply a way to end the whole locked memory thing, the Acanti soul was a plot point to give him future memories of the MCU, beyond that it served no more purpose so I got rid of all the other useless knowledge, He was in no way nerfed as some would like to believe.- I made him a little more emotional then I would like at the beginning, it was my attempt at trying to give him a personality after being criticized for the lack thereof in my last story. - Ruthless? I don't think so, I'm going more the route of a fair Mc. He'll do more of an eye for an eye type stuff, gender does not matter to him when it comes to this.- While the harem isn't the end all be all goal, it's true that he's going around getting women.- I do have a story beyond the harem though and will not focus too heavily on the harem beyond the obvious. Mostly he just goes around sleeping with them and beyond that is anyone's guess whether they stick around or not, I do try and make it feel a little more real, but it is a harem. ___________________________________ -I have also posted this story on Royal Road and Wattpad.
