Temporal Pearls

Seth has read this from Raaz's instruction, it's better to have two names that will correspond to his Seth Enoch but it will cost something. Single name was cheaper but any additional name, from two to five, will be exceedingly expensive.

"Nameless King!" Seth said.

People born in the low part of society always dream of becoming big especially when they see a light at the end of the tunnel. That was a general mentality, that was why when Seth was scrolling on Amma Class options the moment he saw Noble, with no hesitation, he chose it.

[Someone has that name but you can add numbers or symbols to it]

[Nameless King2104444]

[Nameless King2107445]

.

.

.

Many options flashed but Seth shook his head and thought before he said.

"Nameless Root"

[Mr Namessless Root, on which side would you like to exit Coinavator?]

"From the side I came!"

He chose root due to Living Roots. Soon the room stopped moving and when he came out he saw his car flashing her light at him.

[What was that?]

"What?"

[That small house seem to just fall from the sky and slammed into the ground and you came out fine]

"I thought it was moving normally!"

[No, it was fast]

It was after they left Coinabator did Seth remembered he left the SYNC device that will connect his Cabin and the cabin in his room here. And he knew he couldn't just go back because the renovation was taking place.

Also, he forgot to set up TEIC delivery as Raaz did with Anna. But he looked at the car and knew he could just hide them inside.

"This solves a lot of things. I can receive the items I will buy from that friend of mine here. There is also a market, a restaurant, and a mechanic here, though, expensive but all improvement and development can be done here away from the scrutiny of the outside world. Through this place, I can act as a benefactor to my family and district.

Raaz said that some rich people set up businesses for fun among the lower class and hire them and it will not be touched easily!" Seth said.

Apart from hiding places for Seth, Raaz also made it so that Seth can help his family from the shadows but he has to do it smart and not head front like an idiot.

For starters, if he directly aimed at his family and aided them alone there would be some questions about who was behind it. People in Coinavator don't want to be known and maybe the people holding his family by the throat have rooms in Coinavator and they can command the same influence.

The first thing Seth has to do was target neutral places, then in a roundabout way affect some of his family members and constraint them in his services while also raising his value in the eyes of Overseer. When the time was right, he can indirectly or directly elevate their standard of living and clash with those that have eyes on them.

The reason for this roundabout was that Anna was the former number one Champion Candidate that gained the eyes of many Class A and some nobles. She might have fallen from grace but they knew her Game Weapon was one of the best in the game, and as the former champion she might come back full power.

The game has proven to be too complicated to be dominated and controlled by a single faction, even the two powerful factions that command the game were losing to some unknown gamers rising within.

It's not far-fetched for Anna to come back stronger than ever and reclaim her title. And that is exactly what she was trying to do.

Seth intended to go home but he decided to stop and contact Nanncy when he was within the network. The call was short before he went back to the underground sewer and contacted his sister.

Nanncy was facing a problem, she had worked hard for her Class: Fan Artist. The Quest was hard to have her travel from one location to another where she performed various Arts, from sketches, paintings, sculptures, dancing, singing and many more. The goal was to amass fans all over the country.

To Seth that was harder than his Quest because one has to treat with care and not anger any nobles, or other artists and also befriended many people that will support your presentations.

It's a complicated strategic path that Nanncy has to endure. Thankfully she has experience but even with that she died several times, she went to jail several times, and many NPC exploited her. She even escapes rape by NPC in many tomes. But at the completion of the Quest, she got another Class, Continental Guardian!

Seth was surprised by that and she was asking him if there is anything she could do but he was out of ideas. How could the game change the Class just like that?

It was after he calmed down that he told her it might not be the game but other people's influence, her enemies. For unknown reasons, they go to great lengths to abuse the system to do that.

Of course, Nanacy was not stupid she came to that conclusion too but that was the polar opposite of what she wanted and orv even can do.

Continental Guardian forced her to join the Guard regiment in her game home town and protect the city. That was after years of training and for effectiveness, she was forced to train physically in real life and learn how to wield at least 4 different weapons, Sword, Axe, Hammer, Mace and Daggers because each one has its area of speciality.

She chooses spear instead of mace but was forced to change because the game imposes that Mace is more important for taking down horses and carriages when pursuing criminals.

Nanncy was forced to become a brute.

Due to her family's persuasion, she endured for 4 months and climbed the rank until she became a captain of the district where she has ten subordinates. This allowed her to utilize her brain more than her muscles.

Seth can already imagine a high noble that never knows hardship turning into brute wearing bucket armour and lifting heavy mace. From Nancy's voice that was the worst part of her life because the training must be done in real life to progress faster.

But then another problem cropped up after Nanncy decided to incorporate her artistic mind into her fighting skills, armour and even her small barrack. The days after she did that, half of her attributes have a debug of -50%.

She had to remove everything and turned it the most brutish than ever it reduced to -20%. Now she must walk, talk, and act like a man in her armour in her Continental Guardian or she will suffer that debuff. This she can't handle, her personality and feminism were being snatched away.

"She really is enduring a lot because she knows the true nature of the game!" Seth commented as he waited for his sister.

He pondered a lot of things before he came to a solution and that was she should break the game in two different ways.

"She should perfect her acting as a brute but also sharpen her femininity. With that, she should finish the First Quest of being a Captain. After that, she should flip to her artist's design and endure the debuffs. I refuse to believe that the game system will keep doing their bidding!"

Seth immediately composed a long message about the strategy and emphasized that she must persevere through the adversity, that will force the game to acknowledge her. And he added during the transaction he will send her an amulet charm as a gift.

When Nanncy read the message she sighed, she was expecting that reply, even though she has those thoughts but fear the consequences. "Seth might be in Gawee but where we are is more complicated, deep in politics and one must follow certain orders or one will fall and lose their Avatar."

"But his advice rarely failed. I should persevere!" She added with a sad face. Someone came into the room, a woman who was a veteran soldier that traversed the dead zone, a place that supports zero technology. She was bright, standing 169cm tall with a slender muscular body full of scars.

"Are you ready Jellyfish!" The woman asked with a smile, she enjoys pummeling Nanncy as if she has a grudge against her.

Nancy's face scrunched almost crying, which made the woman smile more.

*****

Through the tunnel, Seth returned to a fake healing cabin. But even after the healing, his mother noticed his face was not right. Thankfully, she thought that it was the cabin effect.

Seth almost blew up his disguise when he attempted to chew a portion of food but found that his teeth were fake. Raaz fixing him wasn't perfect as he was in a rush. So he resorts to just drinking some nutrition.

Seth stood under the sun in Living Root forest contemplating. He had logged out to freshen his mind and think of a way to make F2A ranking items.

Seth's eyes fall on the forest and what it contained. There was a time when he identified plants to enrich his Dragon Alphabets, the first time he had the womb. He also has occasionally observed them and learned but one thing remains: it's a treasure unlike any other.

"I need to harvest as much as I can before I escape this land!" Seth reminded himself before he took a saunter around the forest identifying shrubs and plants. Now that he was interested in finding components for his items making, he felt as if it was now the first time he was seeing them.

With identification and High Intelligence, Seth spent three days in trial and error while further documenting more plants in his Plants Record Book. He documented the whole plants that Abuhe was interested in and he was now on the plant Madam Mud focused on.

Seth was standing with a book as his hand dragged a line and it turned the clean information. He first describes the plant and its colours then its possible uses based on what he gleaned from Madan Mud Aura trace.

Seth stood with a sigh as he finished the information regarding plants. He also included her recipe for medicine and others.

"Damn, how can I find something useful this way?" Seth complained.

[Congratulations, you have gained Auto Scribe Skill]

"Woohoo. Finally, I have been yearning for this since when I saw it with Nancy"

Seth jumped with joy, and the book floated, the quill also floated, a bottle of ink filled with Aura and fruits-coloured juice. With a thought, the quill dipped and then placed on the first section of the page.

"From this point, I will be able to record everything!"

Auto Scribe came with an easy use that when Seth was having random thoughts, it would not write them den but rather stopped until he continued with the sequence.

But when Seth focuses on a plant while also thinking about other things, quill wrote the plant description accurately better than when he was on describing consciously, the downside was there will not be an insight or small note or comment.

Coupled with his sketching and painting skills, Seth was able to draw the plants in the book.

Record of Undying Forest: Volume 1 was a sequential book set that began to write down Living Roots forest in a professional manner. And Seth concluded that each chapter may have about 100 chapters.

This volume wasn't part of his search for useful materials. What he did was he first analysed the forest and revived the plants into groups, then he used what he already recorded in papers and books from the early days when he was searching for Dragon Alphabets and now the knowledge he gained from Aura Trace of the former villagers.

In professional order, he documents the information, and after that, he will go out with the rough book and record more. Then document in Volumes.

After a week Seth stood holding a leaf that seemed like a clover as he started at the forest below.

"Why did you blind me?" Seth muttered to himself. For the longest time, he has viewed the forest as just a place with tall and short trees, many shrubs and vine plants that are mostly green but now, as he consciously records and documents with the intention of searching for additives, his eyes began to see.

The seemingly unlimited number of trees was incomprehensive because no plant is alike. Even if the fruits are different, they always give different but similar tastes.

Seth Aura Sight moved to A even though he was with his Grade Advantage due to the variety of tantalizing colours he was witnessing. Now his eyes were boosted to the point that he can see the Aura of things he can't before.

Seth slowly float down, and with his3yes he saw a wave of green of different forms and temperatures enveloping him. It was after he was back did he felt he was normal again.

Seth closed his eyes and raised his hand and said, "I take a Vow, I will record at least 4 Volumes of this Great forest magnificent even if I found what I need." Seth shouted.

He took a deep breath as he observed the four-leaf-like clover, it was a peculiar leaf that can conceal energy and aura. Even his Aura Sight found it hard to pierce through it.

That is.to say, if Seth folded Aura Goblet inside, he can't see it, and even if he used pure aura inside, it will not dissipate and he can't see it.

He found it by mistake when he brushed it and a bean naturally held inside fell out. The bean has a resplendent light that can serve as a light source, especially at night.

Without that accident, he will never know that there is something inside and now he was already having countless ideas.

Seth was thinking as he moved around watching calmly when he noticed a bovine that not even Little Cub can kill. As the bovine was passing by a plant, Seth noticed an aura seeping out from it to a particular stalk of the plant.

Seth calmly moved toward it and bent down, he touched it but the plant didn't react. So he projected his Aura out but nothing happened. Seth walked away but activated Sky View. The moment he was far, the stalk of the plant expanded and absorbed the aura. It grew bigger before it stopped.

Seth smiled as he saw the solution to his problem. He came back and harvested them with their roots.

Coming back to the home, he arranged them and observed them, before he projected a large aura and made it rigid and left. Coming back, the plants have dug their roots on the table and the leaves were absorbing the aura.

It was intoxicated, the plant didn't notice him at all. It grew big until it became as thick as Seth's arm. Its leaves expanded and released a good aroma that made him feel compelled to come close to it.

Soon, the leaves were as wide as Seth's chest, now deep lines began to form on them that with a glance it hypnotised the onlooker.

By the time Seth's Aura was consumed Seth was holding his Staff far away watching it with trepidation. The plant was now emitting a heavy Aura.

But then it became normal before a halo enveloped it, pushing away a green aura and it emits a scent that soothes Seth's mind.

"Interesting!" Seth moved close to it but it didn't react. He checked and found that the six stalks he plucked merged to become one as they grew. He touched the leaf and… in that instant Seth senses strange information flow through his head and he stepped back.

"Magnificent!"

Siprit Plant has just conversed with him in the strange form possible and it was a trait that he gave it.

As the Siprit absorbed his Aura, his abundance of Mental energy influenced it to become more of a mind enhancer than the body. That also made it possible to expose nature in a human-understanding manner. With that Seth understands the forest more than before.

"So, as a resident of Living Forest was protected, in a way, all plants that may cause harm to me avoid me or don't react with me around! But some super aggressive plants are too dangerous even with restrictions. Such as Poison Beauty!"

Seth quickly took an empty book and began to document the plant alone. Pouring down all the information, he gained weight. And he almost filled the book with the information.

"Hehe, that is my answer!" Seth muttered with a smile. But he can't use this plant, it was already his and will not do well with others.

"I need to experiment more!"

With great zeal, he observed the plant and went back to its origin, supplied aura and watched how it reacted.

"Amazing!"

Seth stood and watched a 9 feet tall tree in front of his house. That was Siprit Rank D. With enough space, land and sunlight above it can grow ginormous. And it feeds on Aura. However, Mind and Body Enhancement reduced, that until Seth pluck a leaf and hold it, he found it was only contained until a fraction was plucked
