Temporal Pearls

The Womb glow pulsed with his heart rhythm. He wondered wh he runs will it pulse faster?

Seth wt back to sleep—at least that may hast his recovery. For the first time, Seth spt the whole game without moving an inch.

Sling!

A blinding light assaulted his increased eyesight and he frowned. He crunched his eyes for a second and felt goosebumps.

After the light dimmed, he came face to face with his family staring at him.

"Are you going to break this game too?" Adamina asked, she was one of the gazars.

The family comprised the worried Sarah, upset Adam, and Joseph at the back fidgeting while Sam and Annah were standing beside him with a complicated look.

There were 4 other players in the family, but they stayed out of the limelight.

"It's vgeance!" Seth answered without really understanding what she meant. At least he should appear igmatic, right?

"Help him out!" Adam, Seth's father, said.

"No need, I can move!"

Under the watchful eyes of 9 people, he climbed out with ease. Th Seth made a haughty and arrogant expression and said.

"What does this Mighty Being do now?"

"You broke the Cabin?" Adamina said as if waiting to be asked.

"It's understandable…. I have school now!"

Th he quickly reverted to normal and greeted his father. He was surprised to see him here again because he was a busy man, and it sometimes took weeks before he could meet him twice a day.

Seth wt to school like always and came back. Afterwards, the first lesson with Manuella Sefu wt smoothly as scheduled.

About 8:40 Seth was back home. The art class took them to 8:30.

A pale boy of eighte was attempting to dance in front of the -meter-long mirror in his room to celebrate his exceptional performance today.

The boy has silky black hair, thick eyebrows, black iris, an innoct face and a lean body.

He can't be called scrawny, he was straight and strangely he has some defined lean muscles, and vibrant pale skin, that looks like it hasn't touched the sun for a long time.

After three unsuccessful attempts to dance, the boy wore his shirt and wt to eat. Unexpectedly, he discovered the house filled with new faces.

'Today is going to be noisy, I guess!'

Sarah, Anna and other ladies in the house were busy arranging plates, cups and other utsils.

Wh he arrived at the main hall, Seth felt overwhelmed because everyone wanted to talk to him and congratulate him on the successful start of his workshops.

'Oh, mom knows how to embrace an opportunity!' Seth was amazed by his mother's line of thoughts.

The truth was, he didn't start the workshop yet, but taking advantage of Manuella's way of doing things, Sarah announced that Seth's Workshop has oped and due to its peculiarity, Prof Manuella Sefu decided to hold classes for the next 9 days in it.

By riding Manuella Sefu's fame, Class and her Acknowledgemt of Seth's Talt, Sarah ushered her agda to spread Seth's gius capabilities.

'This is not gonna be dinner, it's a party for me and I didn't ev know about it!'

Seth was dragged a to greet the four highly respected guests. Three of them were Class C Citizs, the same as Seth's family. However, they were in Class C for their whole life.

The last one was an old woman at the age of 78 that everyone fawned over, including Seth's parts, Sarah and Adam. She was Class B.

Seth has no idea how they brought someone like her but he followed suit and greeted her with the utmost respect possible.

Seth was comfortable interacting with her. She has of the arrogance other High-Class have. The only thing about her was that she has high taste.

She promised Seth she will support him but as long as he keeps up to her expectations and... due to overconfidce he boasted that he will exceed that if she wants.

The whole room became silt.

'Wh faced with an art challge, don't ever back down!' Manuella's voice rang in him

She held a very considerable pride in herself and her ability and today's lesson was imparting that confidce to her studts.

Seth smiled and held his gaze against the smiling 78-year-old lady.

Seth didn't fully know who she was but she was introduced as a former Gallery Designer. That means she knows art whever she sees one!

"A little test th?" She mumbled and everyone heard it well.

"I want you to finish a Story Telling Painting of our feast here by tomorrow morning!"

Seth was about to say if you want it in hr… he quickly changed and said.

"Understood!" To avoid unnecessary long stces he narrowed everything.

The party ded after thirty minutes and everyone left. The fact that Seth was able to move with no problems for the whole day ev after the school said something about his improvemt.

It was th, he felt a wave of exhaustion hit him. He sat and there was nothing he wanted to do but sleep. That was an erroneous idea as no one knew wh he would wake up and make the painting he just promised to his pottial backer.

With a groggy mind, he finished everything in just 30 minutes.

~Haphazard Painting Skill.

The chaotic and unplanned paintings he has never done in real life. But he was too sleepy to care about that.

….

The next morning without checking the condition of the painting, Seth dived. Heck had forgott about it.

The truth was, he didn't care about her being his backer, he has optimum confidce with time he will rise by himself.

Seth found himself in a sleep state in the game. On one d, he can discern his father's conversations and on the other hand, he hears the blowing of the wind.

As Seth woke up, the real-world noise vanished and his crystal clear room filled his eyes.

The most notable thing was, the wet wood wall rattled with the wind blowing and the room was fully illuminated by an unknown source of light.

Seth weakly forced himself to sit with difficulty and th look a.

The Womb was coated with a thick halo of silver metallic lustre. It was the source of the light that was almost blinding.

Seth stared with a weak smile as he checked the charging process. It was at 57%. "This is gonna take some time before it fills. Maybe by tomorrow."

He had logged out while he was asleep and that allowed the charging to continue and despite the long 8hr, it's still at 57%, it will need at the very least another hr to be filled.

Seth was silt for some minute as he contemplated something. The 700 points Mtal Fortitude requiremts almost put him in a precarious situation. What will happ if that jumps to 900?

As the points added each stage was 00 and for it to jump to stage five it will need 900 points.

"Hoo!" Seth took a deep breath as he looked a dismissing his lack of confidce build-up.

"Is it me or is my eyesight better?"

He found that he can see minute things that otherwise ignore before. And things that before he needed to be scrutinised but now he can discern them with a glance.

"As if my mind and eyesight have become sharper."

Seth was still sitting on the pile of water containers and that made his body aches due to lying on them for a prolonged time and naked at that.

He struggled to get up after grabbing his staff and th he slumped on the bed.

"Damn, it's wet!"

Seth felt uncomfortable but with a lack of strgth and a better choice, he lay down.
