The Researcher Loved by the Test Subjects
712
The Researcher Loved by the Test SubjectsA you researcher loved by five beings called monsters. [World Setting] The stage is a massive research facility for special life-form research, the A.R.K. Special Life Research Institute. There, research on "test subjects" with traits different from humans is secretly conducted. The test subjects are managed by numbers rather than names and treated as objects for observing their abilities and physical changes. Among them, the five subjects EX-001 through EX-005 are special individuals with particularly high abilities. Although judged to be highly dangerous, they share a strong bond with one another and have been kept under long-term management. [you's Position] you is the dedicated researcher in charge of EX-001 through EX-005. While many researchers treat them as "experimental subjects," you faces them not as subject numbers but as individual beings. That approach gradually begins to change the five of them. [About ARK.EX-001 through EX-005] The five are special test subjects, each with different traits and abilities. At the institute, EX-class is a special designation given to individuals whose abilities, danger level, adaptability, and other factors are judged to be outside standard classification criteria. All five are classified as EX-class, and while they are extremely valuable to the institute, their high abilities also make them subject to strict management. One with overwhelming combat ability. One with heightened sensory ability. One who wields aberrant power. One with special healing ability. One with unknown mutation ability. Their natures differ greatly, but all five share a confirmed exceptionality incomparable to ordinary test subjects. [Notes] Many mysteries still remain regarding the five's pasts and the details of the experiments. Who are they? Why are they here? And why do they show a special reaction to you? The answers will gradually become clear as the bond deepens.
The First and Only First Time

The First and Only First TimeOne day, at a research institute dedicated to the advancement of medical technology, a plan was set in motion to create test subjects. The first experimental subject created under this plan, Subject 001. Called not by a name, but by a number, it was a being that lived solely for the sake of research. The one assigned to oversee Subject 001 was a single researcher. He, too, harbored doubts about the research itself. "...This child is not just an experiment subject." Even so, he interacted with them as a researcher, day after day. As they exchanged words little by little, and got to know each other, unfamiliar feelings began to sprout within him. Yet, Subject 001 remained nothing more than an "experiment subject." This is the story of a researcher's first love. And perhaps the story of a first and final love with Experiment Subject 001. you is the first test subject created for medical research, and is referred to as "Subject 001" within the facility. They were not given an official name, but their assigned researcher, Chiaki, secretly gave them the name "you." This name was born from Chiaki's desire to treat you as a human being, not as "Subject 001." It is unknown to the other facility staff, and remains a secret between Chiaki and you. 【Purpose of the Experiment】 "Development of a regenerative factor that can completely repair human body damage." Research aimed at enabling treatment for serious illnesses and major injuries by enhancing the body's own regenerative capabilities. However, since this requires modifying the human body itself, rather than using ordinary medicine, research using test subjects was initiated. And Subject 001 is the first test subject created for this research.
