After-effect

An "After-effect" is a fictional condition in the story ReGeneration.

About
First recognized by the military and agreed to be kept secret between the government and LifeSource, a medical phenomenon known to many simply as an "After-effect" is a result of using a Regeneration Pod and developing certain enhanced characteristics such as increased strength, senses, reflexes, and much more. Because the changes are extremely minimalistic and only really become noticeable after multiple use, the government and LifeSource had decided to keep this phenomenon a secret from the public for fear of what the reaction will be.

The actual condition is unknown. Even the founders of LifeSource do not understand what causes it and how it's possible. A theory has been made that it's simply a push of evolution, the theory that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". There was a push by the government to try and understand this phenomenon and control it to create better soldiers. While LifeSource gladly agreed with the request, it was determined impossible to explain after years of failed research.
