The knock on the door shifted his attention to where the knock was coming from. He walked towards the direction and opened to see Evans. "Oh Evans, I never thought you'd stop by.” Ryan stammered, looking towards the blue light, which hadn't disappeared and slowly opening the door for Evans to enter. "Yeah, I just thought to check up.” Evans smiled entering into the now well-arranged hospital room. Ryan grasped as Evans began to move towards the blue light."Oh, it's that late. " Ryan bumped in, in an attempt to rather let Evans start leaving. He was worried and didn’t even know if Evans could see what he was seeing. "Well, I assumed that, since you were busy talking with your system’s voice. Your personal Artificial Intelligence.” Ryan’s eyes grew wide. Does Evans know about Draco?“Who is this man?” He pounded in his mind. "Hey, visitor,” Draco spoke out. Ryan looked a bit confused, uneasy, and unsettled. “How are things with you? Family? How has your wife been?" Draco asked E

"Evans sounds so hurt. My precious visitor, how do you feel?" Draco asked."I can't feel my back," Evans managed to say still groaning in pain, he struggled to stand on his feet. "I guess that's done," Ryan sighed. As he tried to stand, his bone seemed to have failed him. The sound that echoed in the room was his fall on the ground. He had lost his energy and couldn't feel his limbs anymore."Draco, what's happening to me? I feel like I have been working for five years nonstop.” Ryan’s voice put faintly, lying flat on the bare floor."Well, you used up your energy as you activated the fated seal.""What’s a fated seal?" He raised his brows in question with his eyes focusing on different objects around the reception."Fated Seal is an advanced seal that allows the user to transform his energy into flame, which helps to heal people on the brink of death.""I wasn't on the brink of death; why did he use it on me?""Fated seal also helps to seal that particular organ or part of the body

Ryan followed the direction of Evans' outstretched finger, turning his gaze toward the indicated spot. Then, he swiftly turned back to Evans, whose mouth fell agape. Disbelief washed over Ryan as he comprehended what Evans was pointing at—his home engulfed in flames.Ryan leaped out of the car, his heart racing as he sprinted towards his blazing home. Spotting the nearby drums of water, he wasted no time, drenching himself completely before charging into the inferno. His soaked figure illuminated by the flames, he dashed forward, driven by desperation, disregarding the consequences of life or death.“Ryan, Ryan!” Evans’s urgent voice pierced through the chaos. Ryan pressed inward, away from the flames, as he took off his family frame from the wall and his untouched luggage, which hadn't caught fire. Despite the scorching heat, he fought through, his skin slick with sweat. Struggling against the intense fire, he staggered towards the exit, each step a battle against the engulfing blaze

Ryan's eyes fluttered open, met by the glare of blinding lights in a room adorned in white and gold. Confusion clouded his mind as he took in his unfamiliar surroundings. “Where am I in?”"You're quite the master," Draco's voice sounded real as he sat on a nearby chair, addressing Ryan with a sense of acknowledgment."Who are you?" Ryan demanded, edging backward toward the walls in a defensive stance, his voice tinged with suspicion."If you're so keen on knowing, I'm Draco, your personal Artificial Intelligence. You’re familiar with the system voice.” Draco announced, rising from his seat and moving toward Ryan."The thing is, my AI voice is just a voice that occasionally communicates with me," Ryan countered, puzzled by Draco's sudden human-like appearance."So, because you were thinking about needing assistance while struggling with drowsiness and pain, your touch transformed a specific object into a mannequin. Also, you somehow granted me the ability to occasionally take on a form

As four male staff members entered the room carrying two individuals in evident pain, Ryan promptly evaluated the scene. Anyone could easily guess it was a fatal accident. He proceeded towards the first man while delegating care for the other to additional medical personnel. Gently grasping the man's arm, Ryan conducted a pulse check and meticulously assessed the extent of his injuries.Although the physical injuries seemed limited to two areas, Ryan sensed blood flowing from various sources, hinting at potentially severe wounds. The man visibly struggled to maintain composure, undoubtedly grappling with the harrowing thoughts of potential consequences if his condition deteriorated further."Sir, please, try to stay calm. You're not going to die. I assure you," Ryan expressed with compassion, offering reassurance to at least reduce the man's fears."Sir, I don't want to die. I have a family..” his voice breaking. “A family that needs me. I'm the father of triplets. Their mother is

Ryan turned to find Belinda accompanied by a tall man. Ryan’s eyes scanned through his body. The man held a camera mounted on his shoulder, adorned with a broadcasting box."Oh, just reflecting on things, Belinda," Ryan replied calmly. "Would you like a smoothie or a drink?" He ushered her into the small room he had set up as a consulting office."Ohhhhh, but you need to stop doing things like that. It doesn't show that you are responsible." Belinda sat on the settling onto the plush chair. The cameraman took a seat beside her, adjusting the camera’s angle."Ah, this is the man behind the lens. I hope he's skilled," Ryan remarked, extending his hand toward the cameraman's shoulder, bringing out a slight groan from the man."Hey, you shouldn't have touched him there," Belinda interjected, swiftly removing Ryan's arm from the cameraman's shoulder."Why?" Ryan inquired, tapping the cameraman's shoulder, prompting another quiet grunt."Ah, he was hit by a bike on our way here. His shoulde

"Sir, what if, after using up all our flares, this man ends up dying?”"Don't be a pessimist; become an optimist. Think positively. Ryan screamed, closing his eyes. The other team followed him by slowly closing their eyes making the victim feel uncomfortable. By the time they opened their eyes in unison, they were all green. The light in the theater went off, with only the rays of blue light emission coming in and brightening up the room. Ryan felt his arms becoming heavy as he healed the scar on the man's brain, regenerating his lost cells with one movement of light. The rays of blue light envelope the victim really well, healing the victim and keeping all casualties from occurring.Meanwhile, Lucian and Belinda were interrogating the young lady who had come in with the victim.Meanwhile, upstairs, Lucian and Belinda were engrossed in a heated conversation with the young lady accompanying the victim.“So you refused his offer. And he decided to kill your husband because he belie

"Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Belinda screamed, slamming the door in a rush to meet Ryan. He was lying flat on the floor with blood flowing out of his mouth like he was slobbering.Belinda desperately shook Ryan, pleading for him to wake."Ryan, wake up, wake up. What happened to you? Why are you bleeding?" Her voice trembled with fear. "Ma’am, you can stop it. He isn't going to wake up." Belinda looked up with a frightened face and tears acting as a cast to her daring eyes. The somber voice shattered her hope. Belinda’s eyes, filled with daring determination moments ago, were now cast in tears, fear etched across her face."He isn't dead. His heart isn't beating the way it does on a normal day; can't you save him?" Her eyes were filled with emotions, crowding each and every angle."He isn't dead yet, but we would need you to evacuate the theater for the betterment of his health," the doctor told her, carrying Ryan onto another bed before chasing Belinda out of the theater."Save him, please!

“Why are you so nervous?” Turner asked Ryan who was pacing the floors of his home, sweat running down his back and his breathing a bit chopped.“This is huge, Turner. This is huge!”“But you both are on the same page, right? There’s nothing to be nervous about”“No, the streamers shouldn’t go down that way. And why are they yellow? I don’t want anything yellow.” Ryan said to one of his staff who was hanging up the streamers, not answering Turner.“Okay, you’re one step away from scaring them and making them run for the hills. Come have a drink.” Turner smiled as he stood up and guided Ryan out of the living room and into the dining room.“Why is the cake still out? Shouldn’t it be cooling off in the freezer? It’s not yet time for it to be out.” Ryan commented as he spied the cake with lettering on the counter.“Apparently, this place is off limits too.” Turner added before he dragged him up the stairs. When Ryan protested, Turner stopped at the landing and spoke to him.“Listen, Ryan

“Greetings.” One of the students who passed by the school greeted me with a bow. Ryan who had been staring at the completed and now functional school building tore his eyes away from it and responded to the student who was already several steps ahead. He looked around to realize that sometime during his gazing, the students had let out for their lunch break. From where he was standing, he could see that some were milling around in the garden and having lunch while some preferred to make use of the outdoor café. He knew and was quite aware that others would be scattered around the indoor cafeteria and different lounges at the different corners of the school. He had decided it was best the students had a wide variety of places to choose from to have lunch. Experience they say is the best teacher, from experience he knew quite well how it felt to suffer through humiliation in the cafeteria and even worse not to have anywhere else to go. This even sponsored his reasons and gladness to

“Roberts, you never told us how it went on your end.” Lewis said as he popped open another bottle of red wine, poured into his glass and brought it to his lips.“What are you talking about?”“How did the project with Jessica pan out? Was it completed successfully?” Smith asked, irritated at how slow Roberts was being.“Oh, that?” He said flippantly as he swirled the wine in his glass.“The assassin carried out the job without a hitch. He told me that he stabbed her more than 5 times and left her to bleed out in a dark alley. She was taking her last breaths when he left and there was no one in sight to help her so now, we have nothing to worry about because our tracks are clear.”Smith smiled and raised his glass, inviting the other men seated around him to a toast. They celebrated Jessica’s death. Her death meant that there was no one who could point fingers at them especially with Turner one step away from the grave.“Soon, there will be no more obstacles in my way and I will have my

“Remember that we have to remain calm no matter what he says or does.” Evans said to Ryan as they walked towards the place where they had kept Monroe all the while because he knew Ryan had the propensity to be erratic sometimes.“I know that.” Ryan nodded“Okay, good.”They got to the room and without any hesitation or stopping to think about the decision they had arrived at concerning their hostage, Ryan turned the doorknob to reveal the inside of the room. There, Monroe was, strapped to a bed; his mouth duct taped so he didn’t make a sound and alert anyone. Not like there was a single living soul that could be found for miles but still, it was better to be safe than sorry.“Hello, Monroe. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Evans asked, as he strolled into the room behind Ryan, a smile on his face.Monroe saw them and began to wrestle with his bindings eager to be out of them. He thrashed and thrashed on the bed while screaming at them or rather attempting to scream at them seeing as th

She ran like her life depended on it, weaving between parked cars and alleys because it did.She was being chased by someone she didn’t know. She had on Nike shorts and a plain black tank top with her hair in rollers looking like she was about to go to bed because that was what she had been trying to do when she heard a crash from outside her bedroom door, down the hall from the toilet.When she crept out, she saw a shadow from under the door because the light was still on and she hightailed it out of there, hoping to get a bat or something to defend herself. However, when she saw a big, burly guy coming to her with a knife, she took off outside the house, to save herself.She was still running, looking back at intervals to see where he was. Previously, she was several steps ahead with a large gap between them but the last time she looked back, she saw that he was way closer. She cursed her luck at not keeping in shape with her body when she finally had enough money to afford a gym

Ryan walked into the hotel where he was meeting Smith and went straight to the receptionist who was all smiles.“Good morning.” He greeted her before letting her know that he was supposed to be meeting with Mr. Smith and wanted directions to the private meeting room Smith had asked to be met at. It was a new upscale hotel that was the rave of town. It was no surprise that Smith had chosen the hotel for them to meet because it was a neutral ground as neither of them had shares in the hotel though there were rumors that Smith planned to acquire it. After all, he liked the way it was growing rapidly. “The maître d’hôtel will be here to escort you shortly. I will just place a call to him now.” The receptionist said after confirming his identity and checking that indeed Smith had reserved the private meeting room.Ryan nodded and took a seat in the lounge as she asked. He was not seated for long before the maitre d’hôtel appeared to take him to the meeting room. He stood up and after adj

“What I need is a hot shower, a hot meal and sleep. Exactly in that order.” Ryan muttered as he dragged his tired body into his house. He plowed straight into the shower in his room and proceeded to have his bath.He had just finished the first task he was given, which was to give out 100 million dollars to a hundred beggars in 3 hours and he was extremely tired, who wouldn’t? It had been a hell of a day and he wanted his bed badly.He quickly sent a text to the chef to send his dinner up because he didn’t have the strength to trudge downstairs. He laid on his bed covers, still tying his towel. He knew that if he got under the covers, he would be asleep faster than a light went out.Suddenly, his phone rang. He stretched his hand out on the bed and picked it up, his eyes squinting to see who it was and he was excited to see that it was Rebecca calling. He sat up in his bed and leaned on the headboard, his finger about to slide up to answer it when he stopped. He remembered the mann

“What exactly are you saying to me? I don’t understand all the medical terms you just mentioned.” Jessica said as she looked at the doctor from her seat at her mother’s side. The doctor blinked at her slowly.“Let’s have this conversation outside, please.” His voice was almost a whisper as he directed her outside the room her mother was lying in and then began to explain what he had said earlier in clearer terms.“What I am telling you is that your mother has no chance of living anymore. From her prognosis, she has at best, a few days to live. I’m sorry!”Jessica was shocked and she gaped at him for a while before she got her words back.“No, no, no!”“I’m sorry.” The doctor apologized as he shook his head.“No, doctor, there has to be something that you can do. My mother can’t just die like that. You can’t just abandon my mother like that.”“I’m sorry but there’s absolutely nothing more we can do for you. Her cancer has spread and eaten into so many of her organs. It is a miracle tha
