CH 80: Mysterious Box
Rey, who left his mother's room, went upstairs to rest in his own room as his whole body ached for rest after the day's drama. As he approached his room and entered, he closed the door behind him, and without his doing, the lock on the knob clicked shut. He looked back, thinking it must be Aiden's work, as he was the only one with that kind of power.
Just as he turned his gaze forward again, he saw that Aiden, Zero, and Victor had already emerged from the white space inside him.
"So, what's the matter with this box for which you caused such a blunder in my mother's room?"
"Kid, you may had lost the one-in-a-billion chance to turn an ordinary person into a heavenly genius, if I hadn't interfered there," Aiden said. His expression convinced Rey that he wasn't joking, so he nodded and took the box out of his pocket, placing it in of them.
"So, what is this box that has you so excited?"
"Listen, kid, this is not an ordinary box, but a special item called an
"So, this is a legacy or inheritance, right? Then where is its key?"
"Let check what can be used to open it, then I can tell how to unlock it. By the way, there should be some change in your status while you were hurrying home, so make sure to check it," Aiden said hinting him about the change. Rey, who heard this, opened his system to see the change and was shocked to see the improvement done in such small amount of time.

After it was over, the box, now completely bound by the chains, began to show signs of change. The chains started to shake as the blood acted like acid, breaking them apart. Cracks formed, and moments later, the chains broke into pieces and disappeared into the darkness.
The lights returned to normal instantly.
Rey looked around to see if he could find the chains, but they were gone. He looked at the trio to see their reaction, but they seemed unfazed. He asked,
"Oii, did you see what happened just now? It was totally crazy what did you all do just now!"
He wanted to hear their thoughts on what had just occurred.
"Huh, what are you saying, kid? What crazy thing? We've been here the whole and didn't even blink. Nothing happened. You just blanked for a second and now you're asking us this," Victor said. Rey was confused; what he saw seemed real, not an imagination. But now Victor was telling him that nothing had happened, even though Rey remembered being there for a few minutes.
"But I am telling the truth, the seal of that box which was holding it from opening did open in front of my eyes. you see my blood floating and breaking the chains holding it like acid?" He argued, but Victor just laughed at him for way of thinking. Why should he believe when he is several times stronger and more knowledgeable than him?
"Wait, Victor, maybe we really didn't see anything, as I did feel some things going on wasn't able to catch up to them, as even Zero just felt a change in reality here." He said, Zero, who was silent the time, nodded as she was feeling some reality change here which was much harder to catch, much less enter.
"So, this kid really saw the thing happening just now which wasn't even visible to us." Victor asked with a shocking expression, and Aiden just nodded. After which, the smug face of Rey was brimming with joy.
"Okay, I admit I didn't feel anything, so just keep that smug face away from me before I show you a pain you won't be able to forget." He said, as Rey started to feel his body hot like his blood was surging inside him. He quickly became silent to avoid punishment.
Rey, who nodded at them after cooling down his body, tried to open the box, after the seal removal, opened up like a normal box.
And what came in front of them something they didn't expect to see.
"What the hell is this thing." Rey shouted as he saw the item inside the box.
-
