Demon Hunter | Book 1 Chapter 3.1 (1) | Era of Turmoil

“Genes determine everything.” This was the Doctor Maxim Rosheda’ famous saying.

Around the end of previous era roughly sixty years ago, Dr. Rosheda specialized in the field of biology and genetics. He had a mad passion and fanaticism for science, as well as his own body. Due to a lack of volunteers, or maybe the right term was experimental subjects, to test the fruits of his genetic research on, he turned to himself.

In just ten years, countless genetic segments had been inserted into his body. These genes acted simultaneously and blended together, eventually even undergoing mutations. In the later stages, Dr. Rosheda’s body had become a genetic battlefield. Countless genes fought with each other and underwent variations in an effort to control or extinguish other genes. As a medium for these genes, several hundred fatal viral genomes could be found within the doctor’s body at any time.

It was precisely like what Dr. Rosheda’s daughter Kacey said: from a genetic perspective, towards his later years, Dr. Rosheda was already no longer human.

Dr. Rosheda in his later years no longer considered himself human either, instead claiming to be the apostle of deities. His belief was affirmed with even greater faith when his genes underwent a series of reorganizations and ultimately formed a mysterious, yet stable new genome.

Back then, the doctor’s left hand could tolerate an abnormally high temperature, one that could set alcohol aflame. This was a temperature that that the human body definitely should not be able to tolerate, yet the doctor’s left hand was not injured in the slightest afterwards.

“This is god’s left hand!” Rosheda looked at his own left hand and spoke his second most famous saying.

After this year, the doctor’s ability to control high temperature gradually stabilized, and the temperature he was able to tolerate continuously increased. The doctor recorded the first stable genome, as well as the highest temperature he could tolerate. Furthermore, he divided his data into three portions. The first two portions he kept for himself, the final part he published, releasing his own results.

The day that the doctor was going to hold his press conference, the war erupted without any signs.

Scorching flames and shockwaves destroyed everything, including the doctor who possessed the ‘body of a god’. However, the doctor’s short yet shocking speech reached every corner of this world.

The abruptly started war ended just as suddently as it began.
