Draven Everwood navigated the school hallways, his eyes cast downward, bracing for another day of torment from his classmates.
The bell rang, signaling the start of his math class. Draven took his seat, avoiding eye contact with his bullies.
However, fate had other plans.
"Hey, loser!" a voice jeered. "What's with the bloody nose?"
Draven's face stung as a book slammed into his desk.
The teacher stormed in, separating the combatants. "Enough!"
Draven's assailants slunk away, snickering.
After the math lesson, Draven participated enthusiastically in his other classes, showcasing his exceptional knowledge.
School finally ended.
Draven headed home, his mind still reeling from the earlier altercation.
After a quick snack, he decided to visit the ancient library.
Among dusty shelves, Draven discovered a captivating tome.
As he delved into the book, a glint caught his eye.
A peculiar ring lay hidden between two volumes.
Intrigued, Draven picked up the ring, examining it carefully.
He decided to take it home.
Upon arriving, Draven attempted to put on the ring.
It didn't fit.
He tried adjusting his finger, but it still wouldn't budge.
Frustrated, Draven placed the ring on his bedside table.
As he turned away, a droplet of blood from his earlier injury fell onto the ring.
Suddenly, the ring began to hover above the table.
Draven's eyes widened.
The ring orbited his finger, glowing softly.
Without warning, the ring slipped onto his finger.
Draven felt an intense sensation.
Everything blurred.
He collapsed onto his bed, overcome by the system's power,he couldn't resist.
Draven's vision faded.
When he came to, he felt a pounding headache.

As night fell, Draven retreated to his room.
He pondered the system's origins.
Why was he chosen?
The ring glowed softly on his finger.
Draven's thoughts drifted to the library.
Was the ring connected to ancient artifacts?
He needed answers.
The next morning, Draven returned to the library.
Among dusty shelves, he searched for clues.
A particular book caught his eye.
"The History of Ancient Artifacts"
Draven opened the book.
As he began to read, the words came alive.
The secrets of the ancient world unfolded before him.
Draven's eyes widened in awe.
And then everything went black.
