(Just realized that I still need to write Viktor's epilogue.)

As the sun disappeared into the horizon, giving its place to the cold dark and cloudy night, the physician opened the door to his home. Or at least what he called home, seeing that it looked more like a laboratory than anything else.

"The time has finally come.", he snapped his fingers as he summoned Mr. Hyde, "Grab me that Heart Stone, will you?"

The coroner pointed to one of the several tables inside his laboratory, the one where he usually kept the most interesting items he retrieved along his journeys. He places both of his bags over another table, one where several vials, bottles, cups and bowls were safely kept.

Mr. Hyde brought him the stone and Viktor immediately summoned an Ash Guardian to guard the entrance of his house.

"No one enters, you hear me?", he knew that the Guardian had its limitations of understanding human speech, but still he decided to word out his order. Viktor walked towards a third desk, removing the cloth which hid the rotting carcass of a muscular orc.

"Hello, old friend. Time to get up.", he summoned the Dead Thrall back to life and smiled, "It is time to achieve greatness, my friends. Mr. Hyde, Rhogar you'll help me to execute the ultimate experiment."

Viktor headed towards a fourth table, an operating one, climbing up on it. The table had several reinforced leather restraints, two for each of a person's limbs and Viktor ordered the orc to start closing them...except for the ones that would restraint his arms.

"I need them free.", he smirked, "And I need you two close. This is the first of many."

He pointed to the small, rolling table where his surgical tools were kept and ordered Rhogar, the orc, to bring it closer.

"The scalpel.", was the first thing he asked. The first step to greatness... or his demise.

The first of his "modifications" was done with a lot of fear and anxiety, seeing that it was meant to be a simple teat. He succesfully replaced his own left arm tendons with the ones provided by a young imperial soldier who met his death earlier than it should. He used a bit of everything: biology, magic, alchemy to achieve an incredible result.

His arm became stronger and more resilient than before, not to mention the fact that it also became 'younger'. It didn't took long before he performed another surgery to enhance himself, bigger ones: legs, kidneys, ears and heart. Those were the initial modifications, the ones that would allow him to go even further...

But the real question is: How much further would he go?
