After his success with Mortana, Victor spent a long time experimenting with crossing technology, magic, and living matter. He wanted to not only add prosthetics to the monsters, but also pacify them and take them under his control. But it was all in vain.

The only monsters that could be modified were the Ancients. First, Victor conducted an experiment adding prosthetics to the cubs of the Ancients. The experiment went well, and the little Ancients began to help with the household, first for the aristocrats, and then for ordinary people.

The king learned of these experiments and asked to create an army of adult Ancients under the control of the Ancients, in order to use them to fight the demons. Victor realized the danger that the demon race posed, so he took up the work.

At first, the experiments went well, and the scientist increased production. And when the army was almost ready, the Ancients began to show self-awareness. They went out of control and attacked the workers of the workshop where Victor was creating the Ancients. So the scientist evacuated the people and locked the workshop so that the horde of mechanical ancients would never get out.

The ancients' cubs were not self-aware, but Victor refused to continue creating them and switched to a new invention - the autoceta.
