I don't know how much I have been sleeping.

Since I was taken over by it, I went to sleep…

It feels… like an eternity has gone by.

How much time? How many… days?

Weeks? Months?

Even… years?

I feel strange.

The mold has probably taken over my entire body and it covers my entire being.

I somehow never feel hungry though…

Maybe it is feeding in something…

I don't know what…

I feel so strange.

There's… a palpitating pain within my chest, it hurts…

It hurts…

This is… something…

It's shining so brightly it blinds me.

But it can't do anything anyways.

It keeps glowing… As I begin to remember more of my past.

I remember… after freeing myself from the labs, who this man…

The crimson-eyed man… I learned who he was.

His name… Ivan Wesker.

Although the documents and info I found were limited, I kind of got some idea of who he was.

He used to be a researcher… despite sounding so wicked, he was once a human.

But he quickly changed afterward.

He was part of a researching project named "Oblivion" which seek supernatural organisms that could let them research evolution in humans, surpass human weaknesses, and attain one of humanity's greatest wishes, immortality.

Ivan was the sole survivor of the project named Uroboros, where they experimented with an organism similar to my mold, which was made synthetically through genetic engineering.

The results were catastrophic.

Such organism easily escaped the laboratory and in a few weeks, the entire city nearby was infested by mutagenic beings, the same people, the citizens, were all turned into monsters similar to those infected by my mold… or even worse.

Thankfully… the government of the United States quickly managed to control the situation and bombed the city with nuclear bombs, closing it with large, advanced electromagnetic barriers made through technology that has been hidden from the common folk.

Everything seemed to be "fine" after all, the government quickly forbid any more research of such things as it brought the death of many citizens and a great loss to the country.

But Iva… kept investigating.

As the sole survivor, he didn't give up. Even more when he himself fused with a part of this organism, Uroboros, and became someone with superhuman capabilities.

However, he was still yet to reach true immortality and although his wicked mind had fused with this organism rather well, he was still slowly decaying…

He was required to engineer new strains of this organism, and as he built up a new organization by offering his products to other foreign countries such as China and Russia, Nexus Corporations was born.

Through his research, he found the mold within the caves generated by an enormous meteor that once hit a sector in Africa hundreds of years ago.

There, he found another organism whose properties were outstanding, and which he wished to fuse with Uroboros to become the perfect living being, the ultimate life form, a god.

And that's… where my story began.

I was not a chosen one, I was only one of the children amongst the hundreds he experimented with, he needed to find a perfect vessel, extract their perfect strain, and fuse it with Uroboros to become the perfect life form.

But when I ran away… I guess that's where his plans came to a halt.

I confronted him many times.

He was strong… His powers were outstanding. But much like me, he was decaying.

He was able to shapeshift, to extend his body into a mass of red flesh covered in sharp fangs and claws, to grow many eyes, to regenerate wounds at an outstanding pace.

His strength was eve able to withstand everything I threw at him, and every time I managed to escape it was always barely…

However, he never was angered at me, he was always gentle and invited me back to the laboratory, he didn't desire my death, of course, after all, I was his precious ticket to immortality.

He forced his way into me and always spoke about his delusions.

That he and I were destined to become one… that we would give birth to a child, the perfect living being.

So disgusting…

He always said that I was a goddess and that he was a god, that we were destined to become one.

But I hated him… I tried to kill him many times.

I even cut his head multiple times, but it always grew back.

He was a resilient bastard.

Strangely enough, when I died, he wasn't there.

I don't know why he always seeks after me.

But it was better to die without seeing his god damn face.

But after dying, I simply came to this world…

This world…

This… world…

What?

Why can't I… remember more?

My mind is so dizzy and confused…

Ungh…

Maybe you should sleep.

Yeah… you're right… I have to sleep some more…

Don't worry, we will survive together.

Thanks… We will survive… we will… survive…

Goodnight, Miranda.

In a world that is not Yggdrasil, inside a large and highly technological building, a man with crimson eyes and short blonde hair glanced at a large tube filled with black liquid with a smirk.

Inside of such liquid, a grotesque fetus resembling a young girl, which was malformed and horrifying in appearance rested, its little heart was slowly palpitating, and its brain was also slowly developing.

Men wearing lab coats constantly inspected her vital signs through large computers, seeking more information about her.

But what… was she?

The crimson-eyed man smiled wickedly, as he glanced at the grotesque fetus with fascination, even love inside his malicious and lifeless eyes.

"Ah, Miranda… You died, yet you are back to me again… You are truly a goddess. You cannot die… no... You cannot die yet… You are my future wife, a god can only be with someone equally as great, a goddess…"

A man in a lab coat spoke to him rather timidly.

"Sir, you must be aware that Miranda really did die… this is a clone."

"…Silence. Miranda has not died, as long as a tiny piece of her remains, she will always be alive, and she will always be able to come back. Ah, my Miranda… Soon enough, we shall become the pinnacle of all life, and this world will be ours…"

Suddenly, as the man smiled wickedly and talked delusions, a few men armed with guns, guards, ran towards him.

"Sir! It's them!"

"What? Did they found us so soon already? Hmph… Pack up Miranda then, let's move to the other facility… Leave them a few treats to entertain them…"

"Yes sir!"
