1 Prologue

Daron Finley wasn't the weakest student to exist in his school, but he was weak. Inheriting a body physique from his parents that enhanced his normal human capabilities helped in some ways. But without an ability domain, he could not grow his strength.

His parents never had high hopes for him. They knew it was impossible without an ability domain. But they did their best to take care of him, even if their jobs had to have them travel a lot.

Archeology had boomed with the discovery of ability domains. If one was to find a site with an ability domain, it would change their life.

Daron's parents were both at a site like that. A rare occasion for the both of them to be assigned to the same dig site, but a welcome one.

A hard clang was heard as one of them dug into something hard.

"Careful, dig it up. Let's see what it is." The director of the dig site stood above Daron's parents.

As the two dug out the object, it was revealed to be a strange quartzite tablet. The imperfections in the quartzite could still be seen, while the entire thing was entirely smooth, almost to the point of being slippery. A strange language was seen on it, but it could not be described as carved, for it was below the surface of the tablet. It was a strange sensation to look at it.

The director took it in his hands and used a few tools designed for the discovery of ability domains. On his head, a tool extended to go in front of his eye and he immediately smiled.

"It's your lucky day, Mr. and Mrs. Finley. It appears we have a power artifact." His smile continued.

"Lucky day?" They both said.

"Well, of course. This will be given to you after all."

Both of their eyes opened wide.

"We... we couldn't possibly..." Mrs. Finley started.

"Nonsense! Without your body physique our company wouldn't be nearly as successful. It's about time you're rewarded for your efforts. Besides, that's why I asked for you both here for this. If something was to be found, I wanted you both to be together!" The director beamed.

Mr. and Mrs. Finley were both shocked. They always knew the director as a kind man, even after the advent of physiques, domains, and other powers. But even they felt like this was too much.

"Though, I do have to warn you. This artifact requires a special condition to be able to be unlocked and gain its power. Even with my equipment, I can't tell you what that condition is. You can only hope to somehow achieve it through luck. Or rather, hope little Daron achieves it through luck. After all, you do everything for him, right?" The director said.

They both looked at each other. They knew they couldn't let this opportunity go to waste. Even though the director said this was their reward for their efforts, they couldn't help but keep in their hearts that they wanted to repay him one day.

"Thank you Director Aaron," Mrs. Finley said.

The director got the tablet packaged and set it into a portal that opened before him. His own ability domain, the ability to teleport objects to anywhere he wished if he had been there before. Though, he could only teleport relatively small objects, nothing bigger than a microwave. But many artifacts weren't that big so it was no trouble to him. Given his good-natured attitude, it's natural for him to have been to the Finleys' house.

The package teleported right onto the countertop in the house, with a note signed by Daron's parents and the director.

"We love you Daron! -Mom"

"You're the most prized artifact Daron! -Dad"

"I wish you luck Daron! -Director Aaron"
