The Ring of Power

Responsibility was something that you had very little care for. You were not the kind of young man who wanted to have to deal with things that you had to do, and even if you did, you half assed most things that came your way, or try to get around them as best as you could. It became an art form for you, having practiced the art of bullshittery ever since you were a kid. Sometimes they worked, and sometimes they didn't. You had learnt to keep your head afloat in the worst of times while on your never ending quest for free pussy, despite the consequences that occur upon failure. Failure was the one of the things that frustrated you. You felt entitled to at least some reward even if you did the least bit of effort. All sorts of excuses came to mind, and it seemed like nobody you had ever talked to seemed to understand. They all called you lazy and selfish, at least those who were nasty enough to say it. Those who didn't avoided or spurned you from a distance. You were becoming very frustrated about this sheer lack of success. What you needed was a break from the bad luck, and little would you expect that things were about to look up for you.

When you reached the front door of your cheap one room apartment one day, you spotted a small package at the foot of your door. Not expected any mail, you peered around to see if it was some jealous boyfriend out to kill you with a remote bomb for setting eyes on his girl. Satisfied to see no such would be assassin, you quickly scooped it up and went inside. Opening up the packaging, you found a small box containing a gold ring with intricate markings inside it, encrusted with a strange black gem in its center. You did not remember ordering anything like this, neither did you have any recollection of having your barely legal contacts mail it to you. You would also never have had the money to buy such an expensive looking ring, and you would have had no purpose of having it since you were nowhere close to even thinking of settling down. It had a small yellowed out note stuck to its underside. A single word was neatly written upon it: 'Power'. In the moment you read the word, the gem began to glow and your body began to feel light. Alarmed by the sudden turn of events, you instinctively let go of the ring, only to witness it defy gravity and float in mid air. Before you could curse the hell out in surprise, a flash of light blinded you, and your consciousness faded out.

When you came to, it was morning. Feeling the rays of sunshine beat against your face, you picked yourself up from the floor with the biggest splitting headache in the universe. As you reached a hand up to rub your aching temple, you found the ring firmly slipped into your ring finger. Tried as you might, you could not take it off. For several **** moments, you wondered what was going on, until you feel a sudden sensation seep up from that finger, travelling up your spine, all the way up to your brain. In that instant, you knew what it was and what it could do.
