What… What the hell is this?
Tony(kai) stared hard at the small box sitting on his desk, the lid half-open, revealing the simple yet strangely ominous ring inside. A chill ran down his spine as he leaned closer, his heart beating faster with every passing second. He could feel something pulling at him — curiosity, fear, confusion — like a whisper brushing the back of his neck.
His mind flooded with questions.
"What is this for?"
"Who made this?"
"Why me?"
(Because you're the heir...duh!)
He couldn't control the thoughts crashing against each other in his head, nor the mixed emotions bubbling in his chest — fear clawing at his insides, excitement burning like fire, and anxiety twisting in his stomach. The only thing he could control was his shaky hand... and the simple act of reading the letter that lay folded neatly beside the ring.
With a nervous breath, Tony picked it up and unfolded it.
The handwriting was clean, bold, no nonsense. Like the writer wanted no misunderstanding.
"Dear Tony 'C' Bellingham,"
(Oh...That's Him!)
If you are reading this, then at least, the Mechanical Bellingham System: GodFinger has been activated successfully after 100 days of careful creation. You are now eligible to use this one and only Super-Ring, designed especially for you. This ring will serve as your personal system — guiding, assisting, and testing you — as you walk the destined path of becoming… The Bellingham Heir!!!
There will be special missions, exclusive rewards, and of course... severe penalties!!!
Important note: You will not receive any physical enhancements — no super strength, no super speed. Instead, your abilities will level up in key areas: IQ, Senses, Hearing, Sight, and more mental capacities.
To activate this ring, use the special code: GODFINGER: OPEN-HEAVEN!
Be warned — once this ring touches your finger and activation begins, it will not — and cannot — leave your hand for the next 100 days, no matter what you wish. Full bonding requires this exact time period.
Good luck, Tony Bellingham.
@Double D
Tony....Kai blinked. His breathing hitched as he re-read the letter twice, then thrice. He held it up to the light, trying to see if it was some prank, maybe his friends messing around. But no — the paper was strange. Smooth like silk, yet stiff like metal. The words on it gleamed faintly in blue, like they weren't written with any normal pen.
"What the hell… who the hell is Double D?" He muttered aloud.
Instead of asking the obvious questions — like he always did in movies or dreams — Tony simply sat back, silent. The box remained open on his desk. The ring inside sat there quietly, but it felt like it was watching him. Waiting.
For the next few hours, Tony laid on his bed, eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, then at the ring, then back to the ceiling.
"Who the heck is Double D?" he asked himself again.
"100 days? Why 100? What happened?"
"Special missions? Like what — saving the world? Hacking satellites? Delivering pizza to aliens?"
(.....Aliens.....Really?)
"Penalties… what penalties?! Death? Brain fry? Memory wipe?!"
His mind whirled with possibilities, each crazier than the last. But deep down, a part of him was curious — no, more than curious. Hungry.
He sat up, breathing hard, heart racing like drums in his chest.
Finally, with shaky fingers, he reached for the ring. He glanced once more at his left hand — his mother's ring sitting there, calm, forever safe.
So he slipped the new ring onto the index finger of his right hand.
It fit perfectly. Almost too perfectly.
Tony swallowed hard, heart hammering, then said the words clearly, as the letter had instructed:
"GODFINGER: OPEN HEAVEN!!!!"
A sudden silence fell across the room, like the whole world had paused.
Then—
GF:"What is your name?"
The voice echoed in his head. Clear. Sharp. Mechanical, but strangely... human.
Tony blinked, startled.
Tony:"Tony 'C' Bellingham."
GF:"Birthday?"
Tony:"June 1st, 2003."
GF:"Passcode?"
Tony froze. Panic jolted in his chest.
"Passcode?! What passcode?! I don't know any passcode!"
Tony:"Gimme a hint!"
GF:"Passcode."
Tony:"No — I mean really — give me a hint!"
GF:"Passcode."
Tony sat there, blinking dumbly at the air.
Then realization hit him.
It couldn't be... could it?
Tony:"Passcode... is 'Passcode'?"
A soft beep chimed.
GF:"Verification confirmed."
(Damn....That was crazy!)
Connection to Bellingham Server: Successful.
Skills and Levels: Upload Time – 3 hours remaining.
Linking to Core Brain Cell: Successful!
Welcome, Tony Bellingham.
Tony's jaw dropped.
"No way… no freaking way… I have… my own system?!"
And then it appeared — a large, glowing, blue holographic screen burst into existence right in front of his face, as real as his desk, his walls, his bed.
"Accept Bonding with Godfinger?"
Options:
Accept
OR
Decline
Time Remaining: 3 min
Penalty:Possible permanent disconnection from Godfinger System.
Tony's breath caught.
"Permanent... disconnection? But I haven't even properly connected yet!"
His eyes locked onto the timer as it ticked down mercilessly.
2:30… 2:00… 1:30… 1:00… 0:30...
His palms grew sweaty. His throat dry. What would happen if he declined? What if this was the one chance — and he blew it?
His mind screamed at him to think — but the screen kept blinking, the countdown relentless.
"Here goes nothing…" Tony muttered.
He took a deep breath and reached forward with trembling fingers.
"Accept."
As soon as he tapped the option, the room exploded in sound — a sharp buzzing noise that filled every corner, rattling the windows, shaking the floor.
Godfinger: Fully Activated. Skills Activation Upload Time: 2 hours, 40 minutes remaining.
Tony stumbled backward onto his bed, gasping, staring at the floating screen, heart racing like crazy.
This was real.
All of it.
No turning back.
For the next 100 days... this ring — this Godfinger System — would be part of him. Testing him. Changing him.
And maybe... making him the true Bellingham Heir.
But the question remained — who was Double D?
Why him?
What lay ahead?
As the screen hovered silently, counting down the time left before the system's full activation, Tony gripped the bedsheets tightly, his thoughts spinning into the unknown.
His new life… had just begun.
To Be Continued..
