I found something. An artifact from the looks of it. It's interesting to say the least. It has intricate carvings that does not seem relevant to any cultures around the world. However, its incredible! I need to find its purpose, there has to be one! I'll document it here soon.

It has been 7 days since I wrote here. The 'artifact' has been proven to be a massive find. I am lucky to have found it. It has shown to be a massive power source. I have estimated it to be more than 10,000,000 watts of power. However, it has been glowing since the 3rd day it has come into my possession. Every time I touch it, I hear voices. the sounds of souls grieving, telling me to stay away.
Further research is necessary. I will update my findings here soon. Hopefully, nothing happens.

The artifact appears to be gaining power. At this point, I estimate it could have up to 300,000,000 watts of power. As I continue to possess it, I hear…the voices get louder. No one else seems to hear this, so I'm guessing its a product of my imagination. Regardless, I will continue investigating this artifact. I would improve the lives of people with this miracle artifact, yet, something keeps me back.
I need to find out what is preventing me from doing so. I fear something may happen to me. If there are no further entries, do NOT search for my body or the artifact.

As I continue to research the artifact, weird things happen. A vase falling, someone suddenly collapsing. Recently, however, someone died on the street. She also shouted my name. The weird part was, I have not met this person before. Somethings wrong…

This is the second part I wrote. You see, once I had finished writing my entry for today, some 'figure' appeared in front of me. I could not see its face, in fact, it doesn't seem to have a physical body in the first place. What baffled me however, was the fact that it seemed to threaten me. Something about destroying the world and possessing my body. Things are not going well.

7 days since that figure contacted me. Have not seen it since then. I have a sneaking suspicion that in came from the artifact. I once brought it to a 'psychic' to see if it was 'cursed'. Of course, the 'psychic' fainted as soon as I entered her house. I called an ambulance. Later that day, I went to another 'psychic', and that one seemed like she was going to vomit. Nevertheless, she took a look at the artifact, and she said, quote, "This stone is cursed! I sense great hatred, anger from it! The hatred appears to ooze out of the carvings!" That was before she went into a heart attack. I heard on the news she died later that day in the hospital. Sad. However, how does this artifact contain anything horrible, if anything this is a miracle. It continuously gains power. If I figure out how to utilize this power, I would be the saviour of humanity!

So… I just found out today that this year is a leap year. But.. that does not matter. Nothing new came up with the artifact, so nothing to report. Only thing to say was that I saw the figure in my peripheral vision.
12/03
Since finding the artifact, I have not been paying attention to the news. Just so happen that a virus seems to be running rampant and my country initiated a lockdown. Good news, I am able to devote more of my time to research the artifact. Nothing new for this entry, just thought I'd talk about it in case some one reads this.

The figure appeared again today. Odd, it appered, talked about destroying the world, yadah yadah ya. However, it said 'they'. I now feel it came from the artifact. If 'they' means the voices, that means the artifact wants to destroy the world. Either way, I assume that the figure will only come back next month on the 13th base on the fact that it came on the 13 of February and 13 of March.

One month since I wrote and a lot of questions have been answered. Which means I need to find a sealing spell I found on an adventure once. The figure gave me prove that it is the artifact. It said it will unleash the energy stored within tomorrow.
