Chapter 3 - The Change in the Brain

At the hospital, as a new glimmer of hope, the doctors helplessly suggested trying an experimental technology: an artificial nano-neural network. These state-of-the-art nano-neural networks were a promising treatment method aimed at restoring brain functions by replacing damaged neurons. The doctors stated that Daniel would be the first person in the literature to receive this innovative treatment. Michael accepted the offer, willing to take any risk for his son's health. Experienced surgeons integrated the nano-neural network into the child's delicate brain with great precision. However, during this sensitive procedure, the parasite that had unknowingly infiltrated the boy's brain unexpectedly interacted with the nano-neural network, causing an unknown mutation that stunned the scientific world. The parasite died as a result of this unexpected interaction, but its DNA permanently merged with the nano-nerves. Daniel's brain transformed into a completely different, new form. But unaware of this dangerous interaction, all the routine tests conducted by the doctors who performed the treatment surprisingly came back negative. These results indicated that everything was fine, that there were no problems. The nano-neural networks were working perfectly, as they should. However, this situation would inevitably change over time, and no one could have predicted the long-term effects of this silent change…

Years flowed by like water. From the outside, Daniel thought he was living a completely normal life. But when he turned 22, strange and inexplicable changes began in his body. His skin was transforming into a semi-organic, semi-synthetic structure, like a strange mixture of a living organism and a synthetic material. Looking at his hands in astonishment, he noticed a smooth, cold substance spreading over his skin, gleaming like pure darkness. Part of his blood had been replaced by a substance that shimmered ominously, mixed with the red fluid circulating in his veins.
