Temporal Pearls

As it was transparent, it looked like the sketches flowed inside the cover and settled within. Seth\'s cloak enveloped him into a cocoon and summoned the Womb, he ordered for Temra aura and he got a portion of it.

Using Tangibility, he made it behave like liquid too and he began molding it.

[Congratulation, you have made Aura Mold Skill]

He then walked to the moonlight, made the book float, held his staff for blessing and then made a strand using Temras aura with the intention to fuse it into his aura that sketched Temra\'s Picture and that will serve as a protection from prying eyes of towards the content of the book. Also, to seal some knowledge he has inside for him to forget.

He felt the last Intent was a bit troublesome but he went with creation.

With ease, he began to seep Temra\'s aura but his hand that held it was burning, the rage of Temra was bubbling but he held on. Soon an outline began to appear and the book seemed to catch fire.

"Temra Aspecto"

He felt the burning reduced and he gained control of the fiery aura but only by little, it only delayed the burning of the book. He then held on to his Pure Stone Will and focused his Mental Power, adding to that he muttered, "Temra Dayamundo Rayki Aspecto" which made him have full control but the burning of the book didn\'t stop. He then pushed his Grade Potential Control Of Skill to 500%.

[1:00 minute]

The time began to tick down and he already knew that if it ended, he either Grade up to his normal Grade 5 or he turned off the Grade Advantage. This happened instantly he didn\'t know he could do that.

The control now was so impeccable with zero problems. So he carefully seeped the aura in the best control he could muster.

Rena was with Juma and discussing their mission when suddenly she felt her body energy draining. It\'s as if she was running a marathon and her body was on the verge of collapse. Then it became weirder.

She had felt it before when Seth painted using her papers but never this magnitude. She barely sat down and muttered in sweat. "Zero. Where are you!"

"What happening?" Juma asked, worried.

Zero voice appeared beside them as he whispered, "Ahh, this guy is using your books to make something dangerous. He is wielding a fiery dragon aura like flour dough!"

Zero was inside the tent Seth was in. He was left there as a bodyguard when everyone left. And ever since he has been scrutinizing Seth but the man seemed to care not about him.

And, he saw a fucking dragon aura being moulded and seeped into a book cover his sister made. He was in awe and terrified of what Seth was doing.

"Should I stop him?" Juma asked Rena, but Rena shook her head, "Just help me endure, it\'s a good thing!"

Seth didn\'t know as he continued the delicate work. He watched as the fiery went around the sketched outline of Temra\'s menacing visage by the seconds. Soon, the little aura he used was completely used before the time limits ended.

[00:20 second]

He watched and knew the moment he loses his Grade Advantaged control the book will explode. He also noticed Zero transforming into a half-dragon. If that exploded it may cause a lot of damage, Seth surmised before he brought out Oval Moon X and placed it on the cover with the intent of stabilization and source of power.

The solid crystal seeped like it was water and then released a pulse. With Moon Watching, Blessing of Staff and his Pure Stone Will holding, the fiery aura calmed down.

Seth held the book with the red dragon sketched from one cover to another. Then a pulse appeared. Dragon pressure washed over the sanctuary, everyone trembled and stopped what they were doing, along with that temperature rose drastically.

Seth on the other hand felt a pull somewhere else, he could resist with ease but allowed himself. He found himself in a fragile dimension and scary-looking Temra was glaring at him, growling with rage and hate directed at him.

"Hello, I was just testing something!" Seth said before his vision returned to normal.

"Hmm. Removed the components used. The type is Scribe Tools. Name is… " Seth was out of ideas, he wanted to give it a good name but he doesn\'t know what. He then remembered First Painting.

But he knew First Painting was an exalted piece of art, this can\'t compare. But he said, "Auto Name!"

"Hmm. Temra cursed me to not craft again." Seth can already feel the restriction. He sighed before he observed the book.

The cover was amazing and thick and flexible with a fire dragon sketched inside. If one looked at it very well, one can feel the heat coming out from it and the dragon glaring at them.

He then opened to the first page and wrote on the 6th page, Captain Brown, Navy Blue, Gemini Twin, Saplon Team status that he saw and closed the book and he walked out of the moonlight.

He sat with a sigh, "I think I\'m really rested here. I can go back and do it again!" Seth muttered to himself.

"You are resting here?" Zero asked with raised eyebrows. "You must be kidding, right?" He asked. That was when Rena and the rest of Hourglass came in.

"Haha, well. I\'m actually resting here!" Seth chuckled. None of them believed him though. "Nice one, you are good at trolling!" Zambia said.

"I thought you were going to release your dragon bloodline!" Ash asked.

"My body can\'t support dragon bloodline!" Seth said ruefully.

"Really, so, what did you do with the dragon you hunted and killed? I want one dragon cadaver, name your price!" Ash added.

"Who said I kill dragons? That is the big taboo in Gawee. Dragon owned this land, and Dragon Curse is real!" Seth dismissed that notion.

"I think I should go back!" Seth added as he stand. "What did you create?" Rena asked, still tired.

"Ahm, a book. Here check!" He brought it and looked at it.

"Just a book. All that hurdle? I thought you are making a weapon. I was enduring for this?"

"Hehe. Check inside. Wait, enduring what?" Seth asked. That was when she explained, the more intensely he used the papers the more she felt something seeped out of her. It was like training one\'s muscles and when she recovered she would be stronger.

"Interesting," Seth said before he let her look at a specific page that had one of the Navy Blue team members\' status.

"This…" she was speechless.

"The book has this function. Yes and No. Let\'s just say I can record things that will otherwise escape my mind. It\'s useful but it came with a Dragon Curse." Seth explained before remembering, "Hey, can I talk to you privately."

They move away and discussed something that made Rena laughed and asked him a stupid question if he was a truly a man.

"I\'m a Man!" Seth shouted but that brought back some nasty memories of him having woman features due to the Womb.

"Okay, I will search for it and see. Here are some guides you can give her, to take care of the baby!" She said as she eyed him suspiciously. He just asked her how to take care of a baby in a game and if she knew where to get baby clothes.

"Mr Seth!" Captain Brown came in with a smile. "The town arrangement is better than before, even though we don\'t like the management procedure!"

"Well, not all change can be accepted easily. But for better cooperation, we just have to be patient!" Seth said with a smile. His attitude is completely 180° compared to before.

"I guess, we have to be patient. But I would like to speak to you about the bloodlines. I believe you have your class now!"

"Yes. But there is a new procedure now. As I\'m part of the Hourglass team, my leader said I must ask his permission before I sell what remains!"

"You are the arbitrator!"

[Brown Team recognised you as Arbitrator]

Seth smiled at the quest and the man before he said, "Yes. In matters related to the Village. But regarding me alone and you excluding the village is Hourglass and Brown Team!"

"I expected this to happen!" Captain Brown said with a chuckle before he asked, "Are you truly a member of Hourglass? Where is your badge, do you even know about the badge?"

Seth smiled and increased, \'They probe deeper to see if I have any Acquired Items or Personal Items related to Hourglass and they found none!\'

"I have it!" Seth said as he pushed his left hand, the one that can show the Hourglass seed hologram. "Do you want to see it?"

"Yes!"

Seth was about to show him when Zambia countered, "Don\'t show that." And Seth stopped.

"You want bloodline. We have Tiger Pride Bloodline but we need something from you first! If you agree then you may have it!"

"That is dangerous. Rena can\'t handle that class!" Captain Brown said. He knew what they wanted.

"She can and she will!" Zambia asserted. In those few exchanges, Seth understands what was happening and Rena\'s goal.

"Okay, I agree!"

"If it\'s a success, you can consider that as your trial!" Seth added and the man nodded.

Seth left with some baby stuff that he didn\'t expect to obtain and went straight to Temra Canyon. Using the new Sculpture tool he has he made 100 simple stone sculptures.

[Stone Sculpture Kit]

~Type: Art Toolkit

~Grade 0, Level 10

~Items: Hammer, Anvil, Scraper, Flat Chisel

~Use: Stone, Hard Substance Sculpturing

[Requirement: Sculpt 1 Sculpture with the use of all the tools that are better than the combined 100]

________

"Hmm, so that is the next requirement!" Seth then began hammering a wall until he made a crack, then he made his staff small and put it inside before he enlarged it. It widen and made a small cave. After that, he used the Sculpture Tools and expanded it while leaving a large chunk at the very centre.

With the level up, the hammer and the tools do a very good job of making the work easier before he rested and continued. The moment he saw sunrise was coming, he quickly prepared the large stone he carved before he turned to leave.

That was when he saw a thick dark flowing substance that had massive eyes staring at him through the cave entrance. It was so stealthy that only now did he see it.

And it went for an attack but met with a blast of pressure that shattered it to black gore.

Ding!

[You have killed a level 10 abhorrent monster]

[+100 exp]

Seth came out and met with a flow of dark bluish and green energy emanating from the monster and they coalesced into an orb before turning hazy transparent.

"Even the red core was converted!" Seth commented. The moment he grabbed it, Clear Crystal came out and absorbed the excess energy and cleansed it.

Seth then noticed something above the canyon, he floated up and found hundreds of similar abhorrent Monsters glaring at him.

"Flow of Danger. It\'s the Hourglass Seed curse!"

Seeing him, the monsters were smart enough to know he was not a good target and they bolted away. However, a force slammed at them and shattered many of them.

Seth\'s cloak flapped before he landed and used Vela Aspecto to increase his speed, getting those at the far end before they found cracks to escape. Seth activated the pressure of his red stripe on the green cloak, and they exploded all in dark goo.

However, Seth was careful, he made sure to let 7 of them live, they seemed to be more gooey and watery to move.

"These freaks can\'t evolve into Gawee Monster!" Seth surmised. Their body was no longer flesh and blood but just a thick dark liquid, they were barely hanging to their red core and consciousness.

First Painting Canvas Replica floated due to Seth\'s gravity effect, then he used aura and ink to quickly sketch them. Before he grabbed an aura from one of them and pulled toward the painting and imbued it. The moon was already up so it went smoothly. Adding to that he was in his Grade 5 Human.

He did that for an experiment. Their aura was a combination of many colours and they give him the feeling of a dark empty place that has a single irritating sound.

He looked at his hand, his aura was contaminated by them despite his Aura Rigidity. He summoned Clear Stone and he was cleansed immediately. An idea came to him, so he acted on it.

With Elevation Core, he seeped out the Essence thread and searched for the 7 monsters\' red core. He found it easily but it was brittle and about to explode. With Elevation Core energy, the red core hardened and that affected their body which began to become solid.

The moment they solidified, they exploded at the same time. The explosion was contained and a red halo encased them and pulled their body and energy together. A single abhorrent monster began to form and its forming core was absorbing the bright energy of the Elevated Core.

At that moment Seth felt his compass running, and he bolted back to Temra Canyon, while he sent his staff to touch the exp orb that was far away from him to store them.

Hiding inside the cave he activated a skill he rarely used. stone heart stealth. A wave of heat washed toward him and Seth began to pray. He was full of himself, forgetting the dragon\'s last warning!

Suddenly, a pressure filled the whole canyon and Seth felt he was locked on. He almost fainted out of fear, death was certain if the fire dragon killed him with Dragon Breath.

~Foolish human, I\'m the regulator of Abhorrent Monsters, do not delve into things you don\'t know, or you will open the gates of hell by yourself~

The dragon spoke using his mouth before he flew up above leaving the terrified human in awe.

As the dragon spoke, there was power in every syllable he uttered. The very stones and land vibrated and listened. Not only that, strange inscriptions began to form in the air and on the land, echoing what the dragon was saying.

Adding to all that, Seth felt deeper meaning in what the dragon was saying. When he said \'Foolish human!\' He also understood, \'You are too childish, stop being stupid.\' And \'I warned you before!\' And lastly \'I stopped that Gawee Monster from following you until it completes its transformation and now you are creating another one!\'

Serh realised that time the dragon wasn\'t aiming at him in the well. He was attacking to prevent the monster from finding him. And after Seth pretended to collapse the monster felt it lost its master and then ran elsewhere till it finalized the transformation.

The rest of the sentence all carry weight and power, knowledge and educates him that the number one enemy in Gawee is Abhorrent Monsters, Gawee Monsters, Gawee Beasts, Menos, Medos and deviated Genos.

What terrified him was the sheer number he perceived the dragon said regarding Gawee Monsters. A whopping quadrillion in number if interpreted well. Gawee Beasts were in trillion and then one thing asserted was Menos are very dangerous.

Seth\'s spine crawled with a chill, the bad premonition he felt when he heard the escape route of Gawee was closed intensified. The magnitude of danger grew and his [High intelligence] churned as he reviewed what he already knew.

The monster\'s ferocious appetite will only be increased the more it evolved. That got him thinking about players that were trapped in the red valley and their life force was drained and they died in a real sense gradually.

Gawee Monsters and alike were said to have adverse effects when they kill or harm a player. What if these monsters will trap a player and feed continues on him till he can no longer exist?

What if the game indicates that true death wasn\'t actually true? But a long agonizing gradual death. Perhaps one will log out but forget that he was dying and then log in then face Gawee Monster feasting on him, inside their belly. Then log out and forgot and then come back.

The circle will continue until they truly died. Seth trembled at that hypothesis. He glanced at the wall and the land, a desire to escape it bubbling up in him.

"There is no better meal than us, immortal that can revive repeatedly." Seth cursed.
