Your experiment was a success.

You'd always heard tales of a beast that lay in the body of man, waiting to be released. You were told that beast could be accessed, activated through... extensive physical and mental trauma. And so you decided to test that.

Your vict- er, volunteer, had been excited about... well, you said, "massive physical alteration in favor of your capabilites," essentially telling them you'd give them superpowers. You, of course, didn't tell them the process.

By the end of it, nothing had happened. You had a beaten and battered soul that would much rather take death over what may come next. You saw soon enough what came next.

Just as you were about to put the poor man out of his misery, something happened. His flesh... melted. It changed into shadows. You had watched the spectacle, wide eyed, as a man became a monster. As your creation was complete.

His- IT's- white, glowing eyes stared back at you. Those chains suddenly didn't look very strong. It's body was now a rippling, liquid like material, all black and seeming to bend reality around it. "Like a living singularity," you thought to yourself. There was a certain look on its face. Almost indistinguishable through the monstrous features... but you could still identify it. Hate.
