Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?
Past edition ①
A man waves a test tube.
Inside it was filled with red liquid, which modestly made waves in the test tube.
Tighten the liquid in the test tube with a micropipette.
The man transfers a small amount of liquid in the micropipette to another test tube with a familiar hand.
A small amount of red liquid will be added to the test tube containing the drug solution to show a reaction to each.
Watching it, the man takes on the next task.
A man's hand never stops.
The place where a man is is is similar to a laboratory or even a hospital room.
With both features, you're right about either of them, but if you dare to define that room into one, that's the lab.
Because it's not the sick who are lying there, it's the subject of a man's experiment, an experimental animal.
Man, Potimus Hyfenas turns a cold glance at the girl lying in bed.
What is there is directed at experimental animals, and no emotions exist.
Even if that is the real daughter.
Let them know that the reaction of the lined test tubes did not change from the previous day in the added red liquid.
But that doesn't make you aware that there were no anomalies.
That red liquid has a small amount of toxin detected.
from the blood of a girl lying in bed.
It's not like Potimus is poisoning a girl.
The girl's body is producing poison.
However, it is a function that is not inherently found in the human body, with the result that the poison produced for it mixes in the blood and erodes itself.
Since her body had been invaded by this poison from birth, the girl had been forced to live a life where she could barely get out of bed.
But if you tell a girl whether she has a healthy body or not that she has a crowded life, the answer is no.
At a time when the girl's father is Potimus and the girl is not a legitimate person, there is no way she can lead a people-like life or anything.
The girl is an experimental animal.
Even if genetically she is the daughter of Potimus, she can only live as an experimental animal, created by means that are not legitimate.
I don't know how long it will last in a poisoned body either.
She's a chimera.
A product of madness that multiplies human and animal genes.
its few success stories.
It was born after an experiment in which the fertilized eggs were processed and an attempt was made to add animal properties to a person.
It looks no different than a human being, but its contents are distorted.
The girl doesn't have a name.
It's just like a symbol, with a mixed spider race name, it's called Taratect.
Potimus Hyfenas was different from the people around him from the moment he was attentive.
He didn't understand.
Why can people stay so long?
People die.
It is an inevitable fate, to visit equally, no matter what great man, no matter what evil man.
Potimus couldn't help but be terrified of that.
Always frightened of death, I thought of death.
That's why it's no wonder people don't usually think anything about death and they couldn't believe it.
Why aren't you afraid?
Why don't you fight it?
Potimus didn't want to die.
I've always been afraid of that time when I'd come one day since I was a child.
How can we avoid that absolute?
I kept thinking about it as a child.
And get your hands on disciplines in all fields.
To know if there's a live line there.
In conclusion, there was no answer to any discipline, such as how to avoid death.
It's natural.
If that had been done, there's no way people wouldn't know.
Because immortality is a dream that 10,000 people want, and it's a dream that hasn't been realized.
Besides, the dream belongs to the world of so-called dream stories.
It was impossible to achieve, and few human beings who genuinely aspired to it were of the kind that were not as credible as events in half-legends and myths.
Still, Potimus didn't give up.
If you give up there, you have to wait for death to come one day.
I'm sorry about that.
So Potimus really tried to get it done.
Immortality, the secret law.
Advance research in a cytology-based scientific way.
He became a college student by flying at less than ten years of age, announcing numerous discoveries at less than twenty years of age and bombarding the world with his name.
But the research at heart does not bear fruit.
Potimus, who had felt the limit in science alone, finally embarks on forbidden research.
Research in a field that can't be handled by humans, called magic.
There are strange creatures in the world.
There are many mysteries in that ecology, and human wisdom does not lead us to unravel all of them.
One of those creatures that pulls out a group and is wrapped in an unknown vale, that's the dragon.
The dragon only lives behind mountains and other secrets and refuses to make contact with humans.
If you try to make bad contact, you will touch its inverse scales.
In the past, all humans who tried to unravel the mystery of dragons have suffered handached tails.
For this reason, there is little we know about dragons.
However, it is certain that science has the art of causing unexplained phenomena.
That's what people called witchcraft.
Potimus focused there.
Because dragons live long lives.
The more inheritance also says immortality, the longer the dragon lives.
The study of that long-lived body.
And an unknown field of witchcraft.
With those knowledge, we can get closer to completing the immortality study.
So convinced, Potimus embarked on a study of dragons.
And that will be the prelude to ruin.
