In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since Jack was born.
During those short days, Jack—one of the prized specimens produced by the Indominus project—was naturally treated with the best food and care by the research staff.
Meanwhile, Jack quietly accumulated genetic points.
After finally collecting 10, he invested all of them into the [Rapid Growth] trait derived from the squid genome.
As soon as the gene point bar filled up, a wave of heat surged through Jack's body.
A familiar notification chimed in his mind:
[Squid gene "Rapid Growth Lv1" has been upgraded to Lv2. Growth speed has doubled.]
[Rapid Growth Lv2 (0/50)]
Twice the growth rate!
Jack was thrilled. Enhancing this ability first clearly was the right decision.
The female Indominus Rex in the adjacent enclosure also carried squid genes and shared the same Rapid Growth trait.
But now, Jack was developing at twice her pace.
For creatures like them, size is directly tied to strength.
The larger the body, the greater the combat advantage.
With Jack's accelerating size and the strategic edge of a human intellect, he had nothing to fear from her—not even the notorious female Indominus Rex!
A few days later, both Jack and the female Indominus were transported from the research facility to Jurassic World.
Before the transfer, the researchers implanted RFID chips into their bodies—standard procedure for all dinosaurs in the park.
These chips allowed for real-time tracking to prevent escapes.
The trip itself was rough. Jack was confined in a cramped, sealed cage, jostled endlessly by the transport vehicle.
The tight space and constant shaking left him uncomfortable and frustrated.
From the moment the chip was implanted to being boxed up like cargo, Jack realized something stark—these humans didn't see him as a living being.
To them, he was just a product, a profit-making tool.
He wasn't human anymore.
He was a dinosaur.
And humans would never treat him with compassion.
That made them enemies by default.
If he could no longer count himself among them, then one day, he'd have to stand against them.
Several hours later, Jack and the female Indominus were delivered to Paddock 11, located at the northernmost part of Jurassic World.
The enclosure was surrounded by 12-meter-high reinforced concrete walls.
There was a large gate for vehicles and a smaller one for personnel, both secured with fingerprint-activated combination locks.
A visitor viewing platform had been installed at mid-level, made from one-way transparent glass.
In the future, tourists would be able to look in and observe the enclosure without the dinosaurs seeing them.
The environment resembled a tropical jungle—tall trees, thick foliage, and vines hanging in a chaotic web.
Sunlight filtered through the canopy, and the air was humid and rich with the scent of decomposing leaves.
This, Jack realized, was now his "home."
But calling it home didn't change the fact—it was a cage.
The towering walls sealed him in like a frog trapped at the bottom of a well, able to see only a square of sky above.
Infrared surveillance cameras were mounted in every corner, providing 24/7 monitoring.
Armed guards supervised the enclosure at all times.
Each day, a crane would drop in food from outside.
Apart from that, Jack saw nothing of the outside world.
In the original film, the female Indominus had lived here alone since birth.
After devouring her own sibling, she never saw another living creature—only the crane that delivered her meals.
Isolated for so long, she never figured out her place in the ecosystem.
She developed deep psychological issues.
"Psychopath" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
When she finally escaped, she went on a killing spree, wiping out every creature she came across, desperate to establish her dominance in a world she'd never been allowed to understand.
Even Jack, with a human soul inside, could feel the weight of this solitude pressing on his mind.
But it was still too early to act. He was too weak.
Even if he managed to escape, the humans would recapture him with ease.
He buried the humiliation of being caged deep in his heart.
For now, he would wait until the day he truly came into his power.

At the same time, a helicopter landed just outside Paddock 11.
The man who stepped off was none other than Simon Masrani, the owner of Jurassic World.
Masrani was a world-renowned entrepreneur and billionaire.
Through his company, Masrani Global Corporation, he had acquired InGen, the biotechnology firm originally founded by John Hammond, the visionary behind the original Jurassic Park.
He also secured a 99-year lease on Isla Nublar and the surrounding islands from the government, eventually investing heavily to build a cutting-edge dinosaur theme park and resort—Jurassic World.
The park officially opened in 2004 and had been running for nearly a decade.
It featured a wide array of prehistoric creatures: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptors, Ankylosaurs, Allosaurs, Stegosaurs, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, Brachiosaurs, Pterosaurs, Mosasaurs, and more.
Masrani saw himself as the heir to Hammond's legacy—bringing dinosaurs, long extinct for over 65 million years, back into the modern world as part of human civilization.
For him, it was not just business; it was a dream made real.
Accompanying him was Jurassic World's Operations Manager, the so-called "High-Heeled Warrior," Claire Dearing.
Claire wore her signature white skirt suit and, famously, her ever-present high heels—heels in which, as the movie showed, she could traverse all kinds of terrain effortlessly, even outrunning a full-grown Tyrannosaurus.
The reason for their visit today was clear: to inspect the newly delivered Indominus Rex hatchlings.
On the observation deck, Masrani looked down through the reinforced glass and saw the two young hybrids moving about in the enclosure.
"Henry, are these the Indominus Rex you've developed?" he asked, skeptical.
"They don't look like much."
"They're only a few days old," replied Dr. Henry Wu, standing beside him.
"Their true potential hasn't manifested yet. But believe me—these creatures will become the crown jewels of Jurassic World."
Masrani smiled faintly.
"Very well. I'll look forward to it."
After nearly a decade in operation, Jurassic World was beginning to lose its novelty.
Guests had grown desensitized to the usual dinosaurs.
What the park needed now was spectacle—something new and terrifying to reignite global interest.
Creatures like the Indominus Rex.
But what no one realized was that the birth of the Indominus would mark the beginning of the end for Jurassic World.
Despite the disaster decades ago at Jurassic Park—when the Tyrannosaurus ran rampant through the island—humanity had learned very little.
Because if there's one thing history proves, it's this:
When humans fail to learn from their mistakes, history doesn't just repeat itself—it comes back with more teeth.
