This Day In Science

The Day They Walked

In 1972, a groundbreaking discovery by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in genetic engineering, where they created the first transgenic organisms by inserting a resistance gene into an E. coli plasmid, sparked both immense scientific excitement and public backlash. While many hailed it as a monumental step forward, others protested, fearing humanity was "playing God." Amidst this controversy, Jeremy Karlson, a renowned paleontologist, recognized the profound potential of Boyer and Cohen's work. He saw it as a means to achieve something unprecedented: bringing dinosaurs back to life. Jeremy, accompanied by his wealthy step-brother Jake, who offered to fully fund the ambitious project, met with Boyer and Cohen. Jeremy revealed that during an expedition in Alaska, his team had discovered a perfectly preserved, 17,000-year-old juvenile dire wolf with intact organs, from which they successfully extracted degraded DNA. He believed that with Boyer and Cohen's expertise in transgenic technology, they could use this DNA, and by extension, potentially dinosaur DNA, to resurrect extinct creatures. Initially hesitant and skeptical of the audacious proposition, Boyer and Cohen were eventually swayed by Jeremy's unwavering confidence and the sheer magnitude of the idea. With Jake's financial backing and Jeremy's bold vision, they agreed to collaborate. The project, estimated to take four to five years, aimed to apply the nascent field of genetic engineering to the realm of paleontology, promising to reshape the world in an unimaginable way. As they left, Jeremy mused that when their success became public, the world would be irrevocably divided.

Revenge In This Cursed World

It had started like any other day. Aaron, the strongest sorcerer in his entire clan, carried out his duties with practiced calm. His presence alone was enough to boost morale, to clear any worries among his allies. But everything changed the moment it appeared—a curse unlike any he’d ever seen. It showed no mercy. Not to the weak. Not to children. That night, under a crimson sky split by screams and flame, Aaron lost everything. His comrades. His family. His friends. He should’ve died then. Bleeding out among the ruins, he felt his own cursed energy slipping away—fading like breath on glass. But as darkness closed in, he saw him. The one person he had trusted. The one who stood, untouched, amid the massacre. The one who should’ve fought beside them. Aaron’s fingers curled in the blood-soaked dirt. The betrayal hollowed something inside him. He made a vow. If revenge was the only thing he had left, then he would devote every last piece of himself to it. Even if it meant giving up his body. Even if it meant hell. --- In another part of the world, a high school student—plain, forgettable, and deeply tired. Every time he tried to matter, to shine, the world reminded him he was ordinary. But deep down, he wanted to be someone. Someone special. Someone who meant something. Someone loved. And that’s when it happened. When Aaron’s soul, fueled by rage and grief, crossed the veil and found him. One desperate for revenge. One desperate to be loved. Fused. Bound by cursed energy and a deal neither fully understood. What will happen when a man who would burn the world for revenge binds with the boy who can do anything to be special? Will Aaron abandon his revenge as he trains this struggling student? Or will the boy become something darker—shaped by the weight of Aaron’s pain, and forged into a weapon of vengeance?

The day of the Delivery

In the past, people called the Deliveries crazy and treated them like outcasts. They were often dismissed as people lost in their own fantasies. But then everything changed when the world started falling apart, and everything was chaos. The Deliveries turned out to be something far more serious than anyone thought. They weren't just imagining things; they had an incredible power flowing through them. Alone, they were already strong, but when they came together, they posed a real threat to what civilization we had left. Amidst all the chaos and despair, a small group of people decided they weren't ready to give up. They started to form a kind of resistance, a glimmer of hope shining through the dark times. But we all know that hope can be fleeting, like a candle flickering in the wind. Now, the future of our world hangs in the balance, resting on the last people anyone would expect to team up. There's this hero, who isn’t quite sure about her own abilities—she’s powerful but doesn't fully get it yet. And she has to ally with the very forces that led to this widespread destruction. As they try to find common ground, tensions rise. Friends may turn against each other, and the atmosphere is thick with mistrust. There’s a pressing question that everyone is thinking: can the same people responsible for so much pain turn things around? Will they be able to help restore hope, or is there a risk that doing so could lead to even worse betrayals?
