Zain crouched next to the man's body and watched closely.
The skin bubbled, the limbs twitched.
The man's back arched and his mouth opened wide, releasing a low animal growl.
His bones cracked, shifting. Fur sprouted in patches.
His hands stretched into claws, but the transformation stopped halfway.
The figure before Zain looked like a mangled hybrid—not man, not beast.
Zain raised an eyebrow.
"Half-beast, half-trash. Looks like the serum worked."
"Let's see what class you got."
He opened his system interface and scanned the body.
