A young boy, 15, is abandoned at an orphanage. It is there he remains, an outlier due to his... curious accent, until one fateful day, on his 19th birthday, when his fate turns...
Adopted by Gorou and Miki Hyoudou, this boy becomes a step-brother to...
(A/N - Originally, I had planned to write two chapters and catch up on some college work, but after how much I enjoyed writing Chapters One and Two, I'm in the mood now. The blood's pumping, and my creative mind's gears are turning. I will see how many chapters I can get out for you guys this weekend. I hope you are enjoying the book so far, and this is a heads-up. The anime will pick up once Rias takes the peerage to hunt the Stray Devil, Viser. The timeline will get skewed here, but with who you meet today... it's worth it. So I won't delay, for it is time to meet... The Prometheus Foundation...)
The sound of a heart rate monitor beeps throughout the room. The room itself looks like some lab. A metal chair in the room's center, scattered bits of equipment lie on countertops, and TV screens hung high on the walls, illustrating a human body that has been significantly modified.
On the chair in the lab lies a human boy. His body was once broken but seemed to have been repaired. He remains unconscious. His body is still. Y/N Hyoudou was taken here. For whatever purpose, only the two who had brought him here knew. Much of his body is scarred after Raynare's brutal execution on the streets of Kouh. The boy should be dead, and yet he is not. Having lost his arm, his two lower legs cut straight to his knees. His lung was damaged by Dohnaseek's precision throw with his spear of light. How is it possible he is still breathing?
A door to the lab opens. A man walks in and looms over the boy's body. He was inspecting every new inch.
???: "It seems he is stable... good."
He walks over, sits down next to Y/N in an office chair, and rolls over to him.
???: "Spirit."
A mysterious woman appears. She had to be no less than a foot tall. Moreover, her body looked almost holographic. This was S.P.I.R.I.T or Self-autonomous Personal Index Record of Interchangeable Talents.

Spirit: "Yes, Doctor?"
???: "I want you to complete a scan of Y/N's body. I wish to see if the replacement limbs set in properly."
