This is what happened — and why the Core no longer exists.

A small metal sphere. A secret lab. It killed every man who touched it — one year apart. Built as the core of a third atomic bomb. The war ended before it shipped. So scientists tested how close it could get to a chain reaction — by hand. First, a slipped brick. Then a slipped screwdriver. Both men dead within days. Scientists called it the Demon Core. And then they melted it down. The Demon Core no longer exists — only in the story of the two men it killed. Follow Relics Exposed for more.
