Arthur Doyle is a new freshman at one of the top college in his town, there is no doubt that he is one of the smartest boy, since he graduated highschool with the best GPA.

Since nobody is perfect, so is he, he might be smart but he is not very tall and skinny, not handsome at all with his buckteeth and wearing a thick glasses.

He is as nerdy as can be, and were never popular at all in highschool, still a virgin and never had a GF before, but he is a genius when it comes to computers and math.

His college and university is famously known for their research on archeology, and they have their own small museum to show their commitment.

While touring the museum as part of the freshman campus tour program, he's quite surprised to see how cool it is, so he stayed behind to check it out more.

He stopped at one statue, it's the statue of an emperor from somewhere in asia, but what caught his attention is a shiny object on one of his finger, not completely covered by the stone material it was made of so only a small part of it are showing but enough to grab it and pull it out.

So he did just that, well at least he tried to, but it won't budge, he wiggled and nudged the ring and turn it like a knob to loosen it and then pop he managed to pull it out and it's now lying on his palm.

The ring feels cool to his touch and it seems weightless, with nothing adorning it, but it's strange that it looks more like a women's ring and not very manly, how did it happen to be worn by a statue? He asked to himself.

But he shrugged it aside and slip the ring into his pocket, since he escaped the tour and had nowhere else to go, he decided to just head to his dorm.

His room is still a mess, boxes piled on one side of the room, the other part of the room belongs to his roommate, a guy named Jason, a nerd too but less nerdier than him, hard to explain but nerdy people will know, Jason is his old buddy from highschool and he managed to enter tha same college with him, Arthur and Jason managed to convince the caretaker of the dorm to let them stay together in a room, let's just say a lot of alcohol was involved.

Jason is now playing his game in front of his computer, answering only in "yeah" and "ok" as he came in the room.

So he unpack his things, once everything is set, he went to have dinner earlier, since he was starving and wanted to go to bed early because he felt so tired.

Once he has finished everything and already settled down on his bed, he started examining the ring that he found, and found that there is no markings at all, it's completely smooth and plain.

He got up and sat at his table, then he turn on the table lamp, and open his laptop, then examined the ring closer under that lamp, and he saw it.

There is a carving on the inner side of the ring, a chinese caligraphy, he played too many hentai games that he knows about it a little.

He searched for them in his computer, and found what he's looking for, the carving is a writing and it says "10 thousand men."

He checked the ring again to make sense to it but there were no other carvings, just that, he searched in his computer again but came up with no result, so he gave up and close his laptop, turn off the lamp and got on his bed again.

Still looking at the ring, he tried it on his fingers but it fits only on his middle finger on the right hand but it was too tight, them he slip it inside the middle finger of his left hand and it fits perfectly although it's a tight fit.

He took off the ring, at least he tried, but the ring didn't budge, he pulled it as hard as he can but it didn't even move an inch, suddenly he felt the ring is emmiting heat, it became hotter and hotter until it was burning hot, he tried to scream, but he made no sound, his body felt like it's burning from the inside and he felt like his insides are being stirred around, the pain becomes too much that he blacked out and fainted.
