When John awoke, he was inside a pod he so recently emerged from. It was closed this time however, doing... something to him. His wound was still there, he could feel it. But it was also was closing extremely rapidly. Weakness was still in his body, but he could actually move his limbs a bit. This machine was restoring him, just like the Goddess said. However, it was still nowhere close near done. The torn clothes remained as well.

Boy did John fuck up. He analyzed everything that went wrong with his rather fatal fight against the... bear thing... He was now far more than mere human, but he didn't consider the fact that this land is nothing like Earth. While his new powers might have made him invincible against bears from Earth, this wasn't Earth. He should consider taking a more careful, even scientific approach to future encounters. He won't avoid that here.

John considered the grand objective - taking the essence of the most powerful beings in this land. John got destroyed by a mere bear, what hope does he currently have against someone, or something that actually knows what they are doing? As advantageous as it is to be with a group of others, they are all competing for the same objective. John needed something on his side, something with unquestionable loyalty. And preferably many of that little something...

YES! Exactly! John remember what he was working on before getting spirited away here. The Preta Project! All of the roadblocks and headaches he hit back on Earth can be circumvented here via this power - magic. Not only that, it could be made work even better. Of course, John had no idea how to start. He worked on Preta several years now, even memorized it's genetic code. But he needs very sophisticated tools to splice the Preta. Could he conjure it somehow? Would it even work here? Why wouldn't it, if basic biological principles apply to creatures here. As long as it has a central nervous system, Preta would work on it... In theory.

The Preta Project - his most ambitious undertaking. Well, not his. It was started by a Nazi scientist back in WW2. He defected to the allies as soon as Germany started loosing the war. Due to the nature of his field, his name never went public. Nobody knows of him and his work but select few. And while the US Military decided that John could potentially continue his work, they've never given the man's name. A shame. That unnamed scientist created an amazing specimen with such primitive tools. Most people in John's field couldn't even do that with the most modern tech available.

Before Preta, John worked on various cures and treatments. It was so dull. Medicine only fixes problems - it does not improve humanity. John wanted to work on something greater. To continue the process that so suddenly stopped - human evolution. Humans are so frail and weak, with only their intelligence to protect them from nature. In the recent century, humanity even turned against nature. It's a big no-no. Humans are a part of nature, it is their duty to coexist with it. And it certainly is possible, especially if human evolution could continue. John will continue it. And while Preta ain't benevolent in any shape or form, some of it's features could be implemented into humanity as a whole.

But all of that is speculation. Pesky things as laws and regulations prevent John from doing any real work. While Preta is pretty much considered a bio-weapon, it's the US Military - if they asked for it and are paying for it, it's legal. John never gave much consideration about what would they actually do with Preta should it be completed. He sort of understood what could potentially happen, but didn't care. People like him will always have a place in any society - he's too valuable to be simply disposed of. 

But in this world he is nothing. At least at the moment. Working from the bottom again, making his name through intelligence and rather insane dedication to progress - it excited John. With no laws to tell him what's right or wrong. With no regulations preventing him from doing some real science, he is free to make his ambitions and dreams come true. Should he succeed here, he could go back to Earth with all the knowledge he has gained. He would be humanity's... No... John would be Earth's salvation. And this little playground, this extremely hostile and dangerous playground was his to experiment in. Thank's little Goddess - in time, YOU will be my test subject.
