Well this is an unexpected turn of events(Phobos X Reader)

Promotion

(A/N: Im sorry im desperate for a non-smut Phobos X Reader story so im doing it myself, aha. This does have multiple chapters so yeah)

It was...a rather cloudy day. Very dim, hot and dry in Nexus City. This damn place ruled by a Dictator who threw out propaganda like it was candy, yet no one can say anything since they would just get assassinated or...well..."mysteriously disappear". But what can ya do...Besides Nexus City to live there would be Nevada Central...and it isnt much better there with its Vampire factions and....Somewhere is just survival. This stupid city was one of the only livable places in Nevada and it was ruled by a self proclaimed "God Emperor".

And, who were you?
Just some Scientist working in the lower levels.
The only time you got to see that bastard with this stupid, sharp smile on his face was when he was passing by and looking down on everyone as if they were just sheep in a slaughterhouse.
you didnt know how long you had worked here, days and nights seemed to be hard to keep track off with this red and void black sky present at all hours. Whatever. It paid well enough. Thats all that counted-

An agent called out to get the attentions of the other scientists, you were sure you were meant too...Right....the reports.
Every month or so you had to give in a report to the Director to make sure your work quota and ratio held up, if not...you were..." fired". You wish you could say that you werent worried however the pit in your stomach said otherwise. You had your report ready, that was not the issue, the issue was that you were aware that this was basecly a life and death situation.
It didnt matter that you HAD your report, if it didnt hold up to what the oh so terrorising "God Emperor" wanted then it was death anyway.

Relax, you had to do this multiple times already, youll be fine. Just...dont wait until you are the last one again, that just builds up your fear more, just...hand it in and leave. So once you were infront of the directors office...thats what you did...you volunteered to go in first, taking a deep breath and mentally preparing yourself.

As you walked into the directors office you could already feel his cold shadow loom over you from where he was sitting infront of his desk, claws, whichs nails were painted a jet black, folded together. Patiently waiting for you, yet at the same time giving off 'You better not let me wait to long and disappoint me' energy with his eye behind his goggle fixiated on you.
"Lord Phobos, I am Dr [Y/N] , I am one of the lower department scientists-" You introduced yourself only to be cut off by the one-eyed tyrant
"I am aware..." His voice was deep and had a sort of echo effect to it. While his face was covered in bandages you did notice his teeth were as sharp as daggers.
"Oh...." You shortly muttered to yourself before you spoke up again "Of course you do my lord, forgive my doubt. Here are my reports for the month, i sincerely hope they are up to your grand standarts."
He waved you off after that, you were free to leave his office.

As you finally did you felt a weight drop from your shoulders, he didnt eliminate you on spot or seemed displeased with you, good, thats good. As much as you mentally trash talk the guy, he was still terryfying and a reckoning force if he wanted to. You took deep breaths to calm yourself, keeping a cool head infront of others is important.
Well that was until you heard screaming and pleading from one of your collegues...or well....former collegue now. He must have been displeased with their report.

The wait was grueling, no one was allowed to leave this floor for several hours, probably so that if Phobos wasnt happy with anyone that he could just get them easely picked out and eliminated.
slowly people were allowed to leave....except you and another 5 of your collegues. Damnit, fuck. Is he going to eliminate you next? Did you mess up somehow? What did you do wrong? Anxiety filled your body as you restepped into the office it somehow felt colder than before, you dreaded this. Yet...what he said next suprised you.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased with your reports, You have worked above work quota and kept this up for a good 4 months now. I am...considering applauding you with the grateful gift of a promotion to the upper floor." He said in a rather devoid of emotion voice as his view shifted from each one of you.
Well that was until he got closer to you, crouching down to your height as he was a giant, holding your face with one of his claws. His skin feeling cold yet...it was a calming and pleasing cold, almost mesmerising in a sence, looking you directly in the eyes with his one.
"Especially you Y/N. You have stated to have worked through countless nights just to advance, yes? I sense some...potential in that mortal, feeble body of yours. How would you like to become one of the assistants of one of my lead scientists hm?" The director spoke , his tone having shifted to a calming one as he waited for your response. Dont let him wait for to long.
