Chapter 2: 02 - First Title

Chapter 2: 02 - First Title

It was not long before Derrick's sudden joy was taken away and he was sent into despair again. When the guards nearby saw him awake, they took him for some treatment and onto the beating room.

For the past two months, Derrick had wanted to escape this lab and live freely again. He wished for some kind of god-sent angel to help him every day.

Derrick, who had seen the Deadpool movie, knew the true face of this institute he was in.

With the temptation of curing incurable diseases, they especially attract a group of patients as experimental subjects for research.

The unknown medicine that was injected into Derrick's body at the beginning was a special serum that needed the adrenal hormone secreted by the human body as a catalyst to stimulate mutations in the mutant genes that might exist in his DNA.

The mutated genes are very special.

They can endow the human body with various inconceivable abilities, enabling the wielder to have power beyond human comprehension.

And these kinds of power users who had their powers obtained like this were called - Mutants.

Even for the experimental subjects whose genes were successfully mutated, the fate waiting for them at the end was not freedom as they wished but to be forced to wear collars that can suppress their self-awareness slowly and eventually become obedient Mutant slaves. They are then packaged by the research institute to be sold in auctions.

To put it simply, this research institute was a mutant-slave processing factory and all experimental bodies are their raw products.

For the past two months, Derrick had been frantically searching for a way to escape from this lab.

Finally, a few days ago, he got the Danganronpa game interface in his mind, as well as the achievement system that came in the game.

Derrick currently sat on his bed after being beaten. He wailed in pain from the wounds on his body and the internal damage to his organs.

'System,' Derrick said in his mind as the achievements and title panel opened right in front of his eyes again. The sudden appearance of this mysterious blue panel in front of his eyes right after he only says a word in his head never ceased to amaze Derrick.

[Title: Super High School Level Lucky (Unopened)]

[Title: Super High School Level Fighter (Unopened)]

[Title: Super High School Level Sharpshooter (Unopened)]

Most of the densely packed texts were titles that Derrick was familiar with.

They were all super high school-level talents from Danganronpa.

But sadly, most of these titles are in grey colour, meaning that they were not unlocked yet.

"That's awesome!" Derrick said. He felt his heart skip a beat from joy.

Before this, Derrick had no idea what this Stuntman title did. He just assumed it was something good and unlocked it, after all, in a lab like this, he cannot make 20 friends for some other achievement.

As for the specific effect of the titles, Derrick did not know about most of them.

In the world of Danganronpa, super high school-level talent itself was a very illogical existence.

Even something as mysterious and unexpected as luck was a talent.

One of the most famous characters having such a talent was Nagito Komaeda

Nagito's talent could affect everything around him just so that he could be the luckiest.

As long as it is something that Nagito wants, fate itself would take the initiative to send it to him.

However, even the luck of the super high school level is not enough to shock Derrick so much.

What really shocked him was the characteristic of this title he obtained Immortality.

Although he didn't understand why the stuntman's talent was immortality. It could be like since he survived so many near-death situations, he was gifted with the blessing to always make it out alive?

Derrick couldn't understand it.

"Oh well, it doesn't matter right now!" Derrick said as he felt warm in his body, which quickly spread along the blood.

His body was undergoing drastic changes.

The first thing that ushered in the change was his eyes. The myopia that had troubled Derrick for many years gradually disappeared, bringing his eyesight back to perfect.

The second was Derrick's dilapidated body. These days of high-intensity torture had left him with many hidden diseases in his body. Derrick had to endure its pain along with the torture without any treatment.

However, at that moment, a warm current penetrated deep into Derrick's body. He felt as if he was once again under the sun, sitting on the green grass after a morning jog.

His body was repairing itself at an extremely fast speed, returning to its original healthy state.

Ever since crossing over, Derrick had never felt his body so fresh and relaxed as right now. He felt like he was reborn with a healthy body.

"Fuck Yeah," Derrick yelled at the top of his lungs while lying on the bed, momentarily forgetting the fact that he was still in the lab.
