She coughed lightly and her body shivered slightly, a sign of life stirring within her. Mrs. Sonya leaned forward, her eyes wide, hardly daring to believe the change unfolding before her.Ryan felt drained of his strength. But as he watched the color return to the little girl's cheeks, a deep sense of relief washed over him.He had made it in time. Mrs. Sonya turned her gaze from her daughter to Ryan, searching his face for confirmation, nodding his head, a tired but genuine smile breaking through the exhaustion. "It's working," his nod seemed to say.As the minutes ticked by, the transformation was undeniable. The pallor of illness was replaced by a warm flush of red. The little girl's breathing steadied, becoming deeper and more rhythmic, as if each breath was drawing her further back from the brink of death. The doctor's entrance was abrupt, his words trailing off as he took in the scene before him. The expectation of despair and resignation was written all over his face, an all-t
Ryan's breath hitched slightly at the unexpected tenderness of Mrs. Sonya's touch. Mrs. Sonya's hesitation was palpable, the weight of the moment stretching out between them as she finally removed his shirt completely. Mrs. Sonya coughed, turning away to hide her flushed cheeks. She busied herself at the sink, letting the cold water run over the bloodied shirt, as she wrung out the shirt, the water tainted pink with diluted blood swirling down the drain.Mrs. Sonya possessed a beauty that was both striking and serene, a delicabalance that seemed to echo the dualities of her life. Her features held an angelic quality, with soft, gentle curves. Her skin, a flawless canvas, had a subtle glow, yet beneath the surface lay the traces of sleepless nights and worry lines.Her eyes, deep and expressive, were framed by long, dark lashes. Her hair, a cascade of luscious locks, fell around her shoulders in a manner that was both effortless and elegant. Her composure, always calm and collected
A familiar beeping sound pierced the silence. It came from the ring! "What now?" Ryan wondered as he looked at the ring on his index finger. With a deep, steadying breath, Ryan focused his intent on the ring. Immediately a blue wide screen materialized before him, ethereal yet unmistakably vivid against the backdrop of the room. The words [Task: get 5000 appreciation points] [Points: 4/5000] Ryan almost choked on his saliva. How was he supposed to suddenly get to a 1000 points? This heir system was definitely playing some kind of prank on him.This actually means he had to perform a good deed for about two thousand four hundred and eight people in order to complete the quest. That's-A wry smile played across his lips. The task at hand—to earn appreciation points from what seemed like an impossible number of people—struck him as both daunting and slightly absurd.Ryan pondered hard but then another beep sound interrupted him. Before his eyes, runes began to shimmer on the scr
As he stared at the mirror, he still looked pale due to the whole process that took a heavy toll on him. It was all worth it tho, he picked up the little container holding the ointment and with a sigh he settled into his chair. The computer beamed on and he proceeded to set up an online sellers account.He named it, "Scar removing ointment" He didn't even test the ointment to know if it was really legit before listing it, he just trusted the system. " Complete"When he was done with listing it on the site. A feeling of fatigue washed over him and he shut down the computer. His four poster bed was just at the corner of his room so he just fell into the comfy feeling of the bed. He woke up feeling refreshed glancing at the clock he realized half a day was already gone. He logged onto the computer to check the sales and not even one person checked it out. Maybe he had to wait a little bit. Three days later and he had not still made even one sales. About two visitors had checked it o

Ryan scrolled through the internet in the past days he had supplied about 50 vials of the ointment and the intern was already blowing up with the news of an ointment that removes scars in just a day. "Where can I get one?" "I want to buy one?" "How much is it?" "Just 10$" A user commented in one of the many posts; "I actually used one. Thank you, Doctor Ryan." The user said and so many questions followed after. "Thank you Doctor Ryan." [Appreciation points received][Appreciation points: 100/100]"Thank you Doctor Ryan." Second phase. He shut down the computer and walked towards a table that had served as his work table for his Alchemy. He picked up a batch of the ointment and placed it gently in a small box, he had to see Mrs Sonya now. *******"We should take the price up to a 100$," Ryan said as he pushed the box towards Mrs Sonya delivering the next batch. Mrs Sonya nodded as she picked it up. "You have seen how it's trending then, don't you think we should make the pri
"Hello Mrs Ryan?" Ryan said to the receiver of his phone and he walked towards the exit of his house. "I was about to call you now." "My…daughter...she is dying Ryan," she dropped the bombshell. Ryan clenched his fists on the phone. "Are you at the hospital?" "Yes" Ryan arrived there as quickly as he could but as he arrived at the entrance of the hospital he had a weird feeling that something was off and the more he thought about it the stronger the feeling was. He couldn't place his hands around it but he had a strange foreboding feeling. He dashed through the ward corridors towards a private ward. Just as he pushed open the door he met the gaze of three men all looking suspicious. The bed behind them was empty! "Where is she?" The words slipped out of Ryan's mouth when he locked eyes with one of the men. He wouldn't forget those eyes, this was the same guy that had tried to assassinate him, luckily he had escaped. "You!" The burly man stepped forward with resentment in his
His legs stepped on an empty space badly before he could balance his body he had fallen down into an empty ditch! 'curses' He groaned as he felt the rejuvenating warm energy pulsate from the ring and spread all over his body while he laid down in the ditch looking up at the distant night sky.He was at the edge of death and the healing abilities of the ring prevented him from taking that last step. He struggled to grin as he thought of gus life so far, about a month ago he had gone from not giving a shit about his life to actually wanting to live so badly. The ring had given him hope and had well brought doom to his doorstep and at this moment a warm feeling pulsated from the ring and he felt the injury close. After about an hour, he crawled out of it with a strange expression on his face. *I'll hunt you all!" he muttered.******* His heart pounded heavily in his chest seeing this henchmen in Mrs Sonya's daughter's ward. He tried to feel at ease too when he saw the bed was empt
