Chapter 27: First Pack Member (1/2)
Somewhere in Ratmawati City,
A thin man is scratching his head like a madman, papers scatter around his room that makes it messy, different kind of machine also decorates his room from a tube with body parts inside of it to a useless machine that is malfunctioning, chemical substances also assigned neatly on the shelf with different colors.
This particular man fits the category of a mad scientist especially with his white coat, he wears a mask that is coverin his mouth leaving only his piercing green eyes, the mask is emitting a green gas that looks corrosive, his skin is also greenish if inspected closer.
The man is scratching his head seeming desperate about something, the veins on his forehead are bulging as if he's thinking hard about something.
But his thoughts are disturbed when the door opened forcefully,
BAM!!
”Prof.K! It's been months since your latest discovery! A deal is a deal, you must get out of this rat hole and find one member and test him properly to join our organization!”, a muscular middle-aged man with immense pressure said just after opening the door, his body language is that of a leader or rather, a king.
The middle-aged man wears a neat set of sleeveless combat vest with a hint of red on its sides that shows his muscular arms, on his shoulder are a nine-headed crow tattoo that looks terrifying. Black crown with red jewels is also shining on top of his head, he wears a black cape with white fur on its sides that gives off a domineering aura which makes people lowers their head in his presence.
If Rex was to be here at this moment, he will instantly be crushed because of the pressure emitted by the middle-aged man.
Prof.K panicked, he replied desperately, ”Jax! Wait! I made one! This potion can attract nymph”, he takes out a pink potion from his pocket and presents it to the middle-aged man.
Jax scoffed and replied, ”How many times do I have to say call me John! And this?”, He takes the potion from Prof.K's hands while looking at it with contempt.
Prof.K is delighted when the potion is taken from his hand but not long after that delighting feeling crumbled.
CLANK!!
The potion is smashed to the ground by John, ”There is already a plant that can attract nymph! Why waste resources to make this?”, he said with anger written all over his face.
Prof.K was helpless, his face seems devastated.
John face-palm himself while shaking his head, ”Why be so dramatic? You just need to go out and test this particular kid in Ochyra University that is sponsored by agent Joseph there”
Prof.K grabbed John's leg and begged, ”NO! I DON'T WANT TO GO OUT!”
”This is not negotiable, test that kid in these few days, if you don't then I will destroy this rat hole”, he said while trying to shrug Prof.K who is holding onto his feet.
”Take this seriously Prof.K, the Supernatural are becoming more active recently. We need to nurture more gifted people to face them”, John said with a gloomy expression.
Hearing this, Prof.K sigh and stands up straight.
He flicks his finger and instantly his clothes change into an all-black robe, he also wears a black crow mask, and then he bows to John, ”I understand, I will assess the kid's aptitude and report back immediately”, he said unwillingly as if the job is the hardest job he has ever got.
Prof.K then salute and said, ”May humanity rise, as the black crow's eyes cast”
Seeing Prof.K, John smiles and replied, ”Until supernatural demise, our Stygian Crow Organization will last”
After saying that, Prof.K puffs into a green smoke vanishing from the room.
Meanwhile, Rex has gone back to Adhara.
Adhara already calmed down a bit but she still bit her lips troubled about something,
Rex tells Adhara to continue, he's lying to himself if he says that he is not curious about Adhara's past.
With that Adhara continue on her story,
Her father becomes violent when he gets back, he feels like a failure because of his incompetence. He then wanted Adhara to take revenge for her mother, so he began training Adhara harshly. Whenever Adhara made a mistake or slack off, he will hit Adhara as if she's a pet. Sometimes he also got frustrated and got drunk, one day he also once touch Adhara inappropriately when he was drunk. Because of that, Adhara becomes traumatized whenever she saw a guy reaching out his hand to her, he always remembers his father's torture which also brings back the memory of her mother dying.
”I know that he is not a bad father on the contrary he is a loving father, he's just hopeless against the situation that pushed him into the corner. Because of that, I really want to get stronger, stronger to take revenge and make father proud”, Adhara said while sobbing in tears.
Rex felt that Adhara and him are similar, the thirst to get stronger to take revenge burdens them for life. Rex and Adhara also traumatize by past memories, they seem to live in a nightmare that will not come to an end if they didn't get their revenge.
”That's why...”, Adhara stops a moment to musters her courage before he continues, ”Your emotional Aura and my father is almost the same, that's why I thought that you...you can help me in taking revenge”
Adhara then holds Rex's hand and gripped it tightly with tears falling down on the side of her face, ”Call it a gut feeling, but I'm sure that you can help me!”
Rex was silent, he lowers his head in thought, ”What are you willing to sacrifice for power?”
'If her determination is the same as I then I will', before Rex can finish his thoughts, Adhara answers,
”Everything!”, her eyes flashed with determination, Rex can see himself in her eyes.
Rex smirked after hearing Adhara's answer, ”Adhara, do you want to know what I really am?”, He asks, he then stands up while looking at Adhara right in her eyes.
While he was standing up, Rex is asking the system, 'System I want to turn her into a Werewolf. What should I do?'

After reading the system notification, Rex understands the process of it but then asks again, 'What is the available Rune, Where do I put it, and can it be changed in the future?'
