Gene Mutation

Chapter 1: The Beginning of a new day

"Hate. Hate is something we all have experienced the most, in our own ways. It's something that will remain in humans, and in... The others. Those, who unwillingly changed. Those, who are hated by everyone, even themselves. Those people - no, animals - are called Uniques."
Those were the last words of a radio broadcast I was currently listening to. I turned it off, because it was making me pissed. I never liked these so called "Unilogists". They always say stuff about us that are mostly complete bullshit. They treat us like complete animals, even though we were born human.
It's just.. unfair.
They hate us and fear us just because we're something they never encountered before. And instead of growing some damn balls and dealing with it normally, they launch a fucking worldwide geonocide! And worse than that, those that survived were thrown into a prison and are supposed to rot  here for the rest of their lives! Why can't we just live normally?! Why can't we live happily?! Why is this enitre world so fucked up?!
I let out a scream of anger and it echoed through the entire hallway of the prison.
The place was silent. No one spoke a single word. Everyone was too afraid to say anything. It was nightime, but we all knew no one was sleeping. I was just sitting at my bed, watching the wall of my prison cell, covered with small cuts that symbolized days. If anyone that didn't know this place walked in, they would say a psycho lives here.
Heh, and now I'm calling myself a psycho.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if I was. I'm just sitting here, doing nothing.
Slowly, my eyes started closing. I decited I'll at least try to get some sleep because that's the best I can do right now.

I woke up, because a guard shouted at me to get up. I refused, and stayed in my bed. Next moment I knew, I regretted my decision. The guard came into my cell, grabbed my head by my hair, and slammed my face into the wall.
"Listen closely, you son of a bitch. I make rules and orders here! Not you!! Do you understand?!"
I stayed quiet.
He slammed my face into the wall again, harder than before.
"Do! You! Understand?!?!" He started yelling.
"Yes, I understand, your Majesty." I said in an ironic tone.
He stayed silent for a second, then slammed my face in the wall for the third time. Then he let me go, and walked out of my cell.
"Breakfast is starting soon, move your ass."
I got up with blood dripping out of my nose, and went to the dining area, with the guard right behind me, ready to fire at me with his rifle. While we were going to the dining area, I started looking around the area around us.
There were a lot of people.
Uniques, to be exact.
We got the name Uniques because we were, well, unique. Compared to other humans, at least.
We, for an unknown reason, got superhuman abilities, called Genes. Don't ask me why, I guess Unilogists were lazy. And every Unique has a different Gene. While some may be similar, they're never the same. And for a good part of Uniques, if could be seen on their bodies, Hell, in some instances, you can even guess their Gene just based on their appearance. I looked around, and played a little game I made. It's called: Guess the Gene. The only thing I do is try to guess others Genes by their physical appearance, or their actions, like walking or talking.
Yeah, not very original, I know.
The first person I saw was basicly a walking, 4 meters tall tree. I guess his Gene is something like Wood Control, and the wood is generated from his body. Fucking Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy over here.
The next person I saw looked normal, until the guard behind him pissed him off by saying something, then his hair went bright red and his mouth started glowing. It looked like he was about to spit out something. But before he did that, the guard hit him with a taser and started dragging him to his cell. Small drips of a glowing liquid were dropping out of his mouth as he was being dragged, and the liquid made small holes into the ground. I guess his Gene is Magma Spitting or something like that.
I wanted to guess more, but my guard was a pain in the ass and I couldn't focus.
Eventually, we entered an area filled with elevators. We went down a couple of floors, about 20, and ended up in the Main Hall.
The Main Hall is a massive hall, and it has every thing necessary for us. A dining area, a gym, showering areas, and other stuff. Then there are things that we don't need, but are still there. For example, the Point Spender. I honestly don't know why that thing exists, but I honestly, I'm glad it does.
In this prison, there is a system called the Loyalty System. It pretty much just rewards us for being "loyal" to the guards and other employees of the prison by giving us "Loyalty Points", and we can spend these points for purchasing entertainment. I, for example, bought the radio for it. Thanks to that, I kept at least some contact with the outside world. However, these days pretty much no one is loyal enough to purchase anything, because if you fuck something up or are being a rebel, you lose a big part of your points. The store is nowadays completely covered with dust, and it's a miracle the robot operating the store is still working fine and isn't broken. I got a feeling this store is gonna be closed soon.
And then, there's the Arena.
A place where we fight against eachother, and sometimes, unlucky ones even die there. Depends on who you're fighting. I myself don't go there fighting often, but I do go there to watch some fights. They are mostly pretty brutal, but it's not too bad.
Well, if I have to be honest, the Arena is the most entertaining place in here. I'm no Roman Emperor, but it's my opinion.
As we were going through the Main Hall, I was looking around if something interesting is happening. But no luck today. So I decited to eat my breakfast and see what comes next.
