Side Story – Frankenstein Report (1)

Wait!? You're telling me there's a possibility that Razel and Ixion are in the same universe!?

This is a story that never existed because it was forgotten by time.

No one remembers its existence as it dates back to 2000 years before Razel's current situation.

This is the forgotten history of the first generation of humankind.

Olympia Republic.

It was the location of a laboratory.

The republic was the only country in this world.

According to the recordings, they have been living here for exactly 1000 years.

A long time ago, colonists left in interstellar ships to find a place to live.

Their planet had no contamination and no wars for resources.

They simply decided to expand further because of the world's overpopulation.

Many spaceships travelled to different destinations looking for places to live.

One of them landed on this planet.

They settled down and sent a message that they found a place to live.

But no one came.

As time went by they forgot about that and started to build their civilization.

Everything went well for the first few centuries, but one day... they were invaded by mysterious beings of a giant reptile species that they called "dragons" according to children's stories.

These dragons were huge beings that spat fire, lightning or poison.

The republic wore power suits better known as Battle Armor.

They were gigantic robots in every sense of the word.

Some were 24 meters long... others were over 100 meters long.

There were also unique robots known as artificial intelligences.

Round spheres with colorful eyes.

The fight with the dragons turned peaceful humanity into hostile terrain.

They changed their peaceful style to that of warriors.

Education for the future as farmers, doctors or teachers changed to soldiers and medicine to heal the wounded and send them back to fight.

Humanity lost 15% of its population in those 1000 years.

One day, thanks to a person known as Professor Epstein.

Humanity pushed the dragons back, regaining ground and sending them to a distant island.

At this moment, that person was watching a monitor.

He was playing with his long hair while chewing on a sweet.

"Professor, stop playing around and get serious."

"Frankenstein-kun, I'm being very serious-desu."

"That weird way of talking makes no one believe you."

"Puhh~"

"Kuh, this person is-!"New novel chapters are published on

Professor Epstein was a very childish and strange man, he would go days without eating or sleeping when he locked himself in his room to write new inventions.

At these times, he was very bored.

He fiddled in his chair even though he was a well-known and respected person.

He went round and round making his assistant, who was a fellow student at the national university, dizzy.

Frankenstein, a young man with white hair and red eyes, left some documents on a table.

A hovering robot used its arms to process the documents.

"Tell me how the data is coming along."

"There is an 85% probability that the experiment will be negative."

The difference between clones and homunculus was that clones were physically weak and homunculus developed a strange pathogen.

To go outside, they wore masks with oxygen tanks on their backs.

The homunculus also used a strange red crystal, which they called a philosopher's stone, as the core that made up their heart.

But it was still inefficient.

By now, Epstein was irritated.

He was staring in frustration at a 2-metre long tube with a creature inside.

It was a woman.

Her hair was blonde and her ears were long.

"It's a failure."

Frankenstein, who was standing next to him, was reviewing some notes.

"Is it like that? It's a bit strange, yes, but I don't think she's a failure."

There were several long-eared women in similar tubes with bright green liquid.

"I just don't see much to them. I don't think they're any good to us."

"It's not our business whether they serve us or not. They must serve on the battlefield."

"I'm going to eat, can I get you something?"

"An energy bar."

"I'll call you the mad scientist of the energy bar at this rate."

"Puhh~."

A few days passed. Frankenstein came to the room he used to work in.

As it was a holiday, he didn't come to work since a week ago.

He wanted a break.

When he opened the door, everything was dark.

Except for a bright spot in the background.

He pressed a button to turn on the light, and when it came on, he was startled by what he saw.

There were strange images.

He could see numbers, like coordinates of something.

Also a strange drawing of an eye and some kind of door.

Epstein was sitting in a corner looking at a small box.

There was nothing inside, just a piece of cloth.

Frankenstein knew what the piece of cloth meant.

He said nothing, but Epstein spoke to him.

"Frankenstein, do you know what I have discovered?"

He didn't answer, as he thought it was a rhetorical question.

But he was tugged and watched as Epstein's glowing eyes were red.

"I've made an incredible find! It's something I never thought possible... in fact, I still think it's a dream."

"No, it's not. If it were, I'd have woken up and forgotten by now."

"Do you want to know? Fine, I'll tell you."

Epstein leaned close to Frankenstein and whispered.

"I found the door to our questions."

"What door?"

Frankenstein said, as Epstein gave him a terrifying smile to say something that would mark the fate of the entire republic.

"The door to something beyond our understanding."

Frankenstein's thought sometime later was.

(If only I had stopped it... perhaps none of this would have happened.)
