"Please Daniel aunt made me promise not to tell you," Zain tried calming him down. "If you do anything stupid, you will only stress her out," he added.Daniel swallowed hard, his friend was right, staying calm and waiting for his aunt to wake up was the better option rather than using his emotions.He quietly took a seat and after going over all of their plans for selling the gold, he became calm and walked back into his aunt's room. He had already given George the house, but it appeared that he was not going to stop harassing his aunt.When she awoke, she told him everything and made him swear not to confront George. They planned to make it appear as if Daniel was unaware of the Relic.George Meyers was a dangerous man. That was a fact, that his aunt did not want him to forget especially if he planned to go after him. Underestimating one's enemy always resulted in regret. She could only assume that was exactly what George was going through. That was if he believed her story.Daniel c

"DETECTING INJURY," the female voice said as the pearls opened up and collagen sprouted out, covering the entire cut on his figure.Daniel watched in awe, his eyes wide open. He remembered the letter in the wooden box with the relic, stating its healing properties. He sat there, half scared and half amazed at the advanced technology that he was witnessing.His finger stopped bleeding in seconds, and the cut closed up leaving no scar or sign of there being a cut. In awe, he stared at his finger.The relic then turned its attention to his STI device on the floor, declaring again in his head, "DEVICE MALFUNCTIONING," and it quickly began repairing it. All of the components were brought together in seconds, and the system was given a boast which resulted in it turning on. It sampled Daniel's blood which was all over the floor. The watch-shaped device moved and clung to his wrist."CHLAMYDIA, GONORRHOEA, and SYPHILIS Testing on Daniel Lane's Blood," the mechanical voice then announced, an

With the first prize trophy and a cheque in hand, the three friends ran to the back room to celebrate their first prize win, yelling in delight.Everyone, including their classmates, was talking about the STI scanner. Not only was it portable, but it also provided the privacy that most students sought. So everyone felt they deserved the first prize without complaints.The three boys were busy cheering when their class coordinator entered the room, congratulating them. He was not alone, he walked in with two gentlemen and introduced them as CEOs of a biotech company. The STI app piqued a lot of people's interest. The two CEOs congratulated them, shaking their hands, and stated their intentions regarding the device. They wanted to be the first ones to get the device under their name.Max smiled with delight as he looked around at his friends. Even though the night had not yet ended, they were already receiving offers."We can set up a room to discuss the next steps," one of the CEOs su

"Aunt!" Daniel dashed to the side of the bed, hoping to wake her up. "Aunt! Aunt! Aunt!" He kept calling out.The nurses rushed into the room, having gotten the emergency alert on their pagers. They moved Daniel away. "Please move, let us do our work," they yelled at him.Zain quickly moved him away. They both had no idea what was going on. Some seconds ago, she was beaming and eating pizza with them. She was fine and looked good."We're going to lose her,'' one of the nurses said, yelling at the two boys to leave the room. The second nurse quickly paged the doctor."What exactly is going on?" Daniel, who was clearly terrified, inquired. However, the nurses were busy signaling each other as their gazes were drawn to the bloody handkerchief.Daniel noticed the handkerchief as his heart began racing. "What is that?... Where did it come from?" As Zain led him outside, he kept asking. He could feel strong hands pressing against him. They had to leave the room so that the medical staff co

Daniel stood up and looked around the room. It fell silent, he could only hear the beeping of the life support machines. He took a long, hard look at his aunt. She didn't deserve to be hooked up to machines on the bed while he had the Relic."Don't worry, aunt; I'll find a solution," he said softly as he kissed her cheeks. He quickly wiped his tears away as he gathered himself. He needed to read the letters carefully and patiently. Every time he had attempted to read them, he was always interrupted.He walked out of the room, texting his friend Zain of his intentions to go home and freshen up. Zain replied and asked him to take all the time he needed. He arrived at the apartment and read the letters word for word, looking for any mention of full activation, but to his disappointment, none of the paragraphs went into detail.He threw the letters on the floor in frustration, screaming. The details he was looking for were not in there and his aunt who had an idea of what he was looking

He read the coded messages slowly and carefully, paying close attention to every detail. The coded message, like the main letter, included warnings about losing his life if the relic was overused or misused. However, there was a mountain of physical and mental processes that he needed to complete before reaching full activation.The full activation was not a one-button operation, but he needed to understand the Relic and how it works by starting small in order to build a relationship between the host and Relic.Daniel paused, trying to grasp the concept of "host." It appeared that the relationship would be that of a parasite and a host. Like a worm sucking on its human host. If the human's immune system was weak then the worm would take over and dry the life of its host. So he needed years of physical and mental preparation, his mind and body needed to be ready to accept the relic. "No no no," he exclaimed.His aunt required a quick solution to get her out of the coma, not the idio

Daniel thanked the three gentlemen once more, not wanting to appear like a gossiper. He was about to say his goodbye leave when the door slammed open and a furious George Meyers stormed in breathing fire. Daniel had to move to the corner of the room his eyebrows raised. He understood the man had influence but it appeared he had no manners too."Which of you idiots removed my son's name from the scholarship list?" he yelled, his eyes shooting invisible arrows at the two.The three men exchanged glances, while Daniel remained stationed in the room's far corner not wanting his beautiful day to be ruined."I'm talking to you, bustards! If you do not reinstate my son, I will sue you and the entire university!" He yelled, causing echoes.The coordinator was the first to speak, urging him to calm down and respect the men in the room. George Meyers always behaved as if owned the school which made the coordinator detest the man. "I will only relax if I am told why my son was removed from the

George's chest began to tighten. He felt like he was getting enough air as he slowly unbuttoned his jacket and untied his tie. He couldn't believe the Melvin science project had gone to a useless boy, a nobody who used to live in the slams. In fact, I still did.Even with his connections back then, he was unable to obtain this project during his university days. However, that project landed with a nobody. He yelled out on top of his voice in frustration, attracting the gaze of people passing by."What are you all looking at?" He yelled at them as he grabbed his phone and began calling specific numbers in his phone, breathing heavily. He needed to block the stupid project. Thanks to the stupid aunt, he could not find "That Thing" and now it looked like the boy was heading for success which would be a disadvantage if the artifact ever resurfaced in his possession. The boy needed to maintain his poor status, that was how it was always supposed to be. That was the balance of things.Howe
