Adaption: The Meta-Gene

Self-Published

Community Rating

Description

In a world where society revolves around the presence of Meta-Genes—genetic mutations that grant extraordinary abilities—youths with potential are sent to the Meta Academy to train as future protectors or, at worst, weapons.

Among this year’s intake at Lavar Academy, the most prestigious of these institutions, are children of professional heroes, students with Alpha-level potential, and one outlier: a quiet, malnourished teen with a haunted past and no pedigree.

Detained by the government after being rescued from a home marked by deep trauma and abuse, he harbors dangerous plans. On paper, he's an anomaly: mentally fractured, socially withdrawn, and physically unimpressive. But buried beneath that fragile exterior lies a rare Meta-Gene—an adaptive evolution ability allowing his body to react and evolve against any stimulus or threat. A power with limitless potential… if he survives long enough to master it.

But with the academy’s true purpose lurking beneath its polished surface, and secrets festering in the boy’s past, the question isn't whether he can become strong.

It’s whether strength will be enough to survive what's coming.
