Temporal Pearls

Seth stepped back and went back into the room and then stored some things in his pockets before he walked out of the mansion. Black Panther was there waiting for him at the entrance and it growled at him and bare its teeth.

"You can feel my intention?" Seth marvelled.

\'Meow!\' It whimpered.

Seth fondled her head and went south.

He had improved it to the max which reduced its cooldown from 3hr to 1hr and improved your health, reduced pressure reduction and camouflage to 500%.

But he wasn\'t going to rely on it all the time as he explored the continent. His Attire was enough to protect him from complete death. He believed that he could withstand the pressure till the end of the pressure.

Seth thought about levelling up his attire but then he realized he will use the Village Points he painstakingly obtained.

Force fields have improved from F+ to D- but that wasn\'t the major improvement.

The attire has become more flexible and also resistant to sharp objects. When he tested it, it protected him better under the pressure.

Seth stood before the final barrier, then he stepped out. If not forced, he will not come back to the forest till he reaches a settlement if found one.

The pressure was like none existent at this distance from the forest. Seth continued forward in the bright of the day.

"Aura Sight!"

His ability to see specific Auras has risen exponentially and also the duration his eyes can stay active has reached 15 minutes.

His walk was very smooth, he was 7 km when he looked up and was surprised that the sun was setting. He then checked the time for the Cloak.

[00:10:45]

Seth looked around, he was surrounded by crevices and with Aura\'s sight, there was a lot of smoke coming out. It took time for him to find a place that was solid and without holes.

Seth observed well the nearest crevice, confirming that there were no creatures inside, he then tapped his front pocket and brought about flanks and other tools. In one fell swoop, he made a small house that looked like a Dog House.

The house was just large enough to contain him in a sitting position. He crawled inside and sat facing outside.

The dimmer the light of the day, the more eerie sensation permeates the air. Seth shortened his staff and was ready for any eventuality. His cloak has turned off and was on cool down. Seeing nothing happen even after night came, he sighed and then closed his eyes.

He listened to his heartbeat for some time and gradually it slowed down. He and the camp began to change nature. And if one looked at him from afar they will see a large boulder.

Seth was in that position for one hour and he gradually opened his eyes this time.

[Stone Heart]

[Description: Brave Warrior that sacrificed his body to eliminate Amma\'s enemy will never be forsaken.]

[Passive Effect: Improve all attributes by 50%]

[Active Effect: Slow your breath and calm your thoughts. You will be perceived as a side rock by predators. Effectiveness:- Very Low]

____

As long as he maintained this posture and mindset, no creature would perceive him for what he was.

By the time Seth opened his eyes, he saw a lot of monsters with strange body parts. Some fight while some coexist peacefully.

Some even came close to him but they did not touch the mini-house. Seth then used his Aura sight to observe them occasionally for the whole night until sunrise.

The rise of the sun sent the monsters back to the crevices and then Seth relaxed and closed his eyes for a nap. Deep in sleep, he went to the crossroad where he could hear real-world noises.

As he expected, Anna was nagging Raaz about why he was still in the game for a whole day now.

Seth did tell them that he might spend a long time in the game but they didn\'t agree.

After napping for 2 hours Seth woke up and continued moving with a groan. The cloak was cool down and so the pressure was intense, just walking consumed exertion points after 10 minutes. And after 2 hours, he consumed 12 points but he had 38 remaining points before the Green Cloak activated which made him feel strong and less pressured.

And just like that, Seth spent two days in the game walking south in the vast expanse of dead land that harbours nothing but dark brown solid land with countless crevices which house many Abhorrent Monsters.

Seth didn\'t fight with any of them but he had documented all that he saw in the night. He has also observed their behaviour and tried to come up with some patterns that will help in fighting them.

At the same time, he had been training his Aura Sight which allowed them to see their heart which was the red dot in their body.

It wasn\'t easy joinery at all, it was exhausting and mind-numbing but with his Pure White Stone Will, he was able to pull through it.

Seth looked back, the sun high above was so hot and the cloak was in cool down, First Might Pressure Resistance too was in cool down. All around him were large crevices in which he could hear noises.

Seth wasn\'t worried about the monster underground because what he learned in his journey was that, Abhorrent monsters hate the sun not because it burns them or it was their natural enemy but because it makes them sweat and lose the water in their body.

Seth tested something. He spilt water on the ground and many Abhorrent monsters sprang out from their crevice and ran to that water but before they reached it, the land itself had already dried itself.

If not because he was in his time heart stone they would have seen him.

Far behind, Living Root\'s shadow can still be seen. Seth took a deep breath and moved forward, and when the sun was setting he was no longer seeing Living Roots and that was when he saw the mountain.

Seth found a place to settle before he waited for the next day to come...

The next day, Seth walked forward with a smile on his face and by the time he reached the foot of the mountain, a notification cane.

[Log out in ten minutes]

"Aha, I\'m in another settlement!"

He set up his mini-house and entered, he ate some jerky and drank water. Then he activated stone heart stealth and he sank deep into sleep before he logged out.

Sling!

"What happens? Are you trapped again? How are…" Anna hysterically asked Seth.

With an apologetic smile, he told her the truth. And the truth was as long as he was far away from the safe sanctuary he couldn\'t log out.

Anna felt like beating him up but she calmed down.

The reason why Seth made that bold move was that Gawee\'s Continent danger shouldn\'t be underestimated. It\'s better now that he was completely under Raaz\'s care to take the risk and explore other places and if any danger came that could reflect real life he knew things would not be worse like before.

But now he had observed the dead lands and saw monsters and little of what they could do. He also devises countless plans for how to tackle them.

Not only that, he has seen and found a lot of things that were of interest to him but doesn\'t have time to explore them well. One of them was when he came across large bones that emit terrifying pressures. But these bones were inside huge crevices and entangled with dried roots.

He believed the bones to belong to dragons or beasts of Roana Prada calibre.

Sling!

The next day, Anna glared at him without saying a thing as he dived.

Seth opened his eyes and was frightened and jumped back. A man, with red eyes and a clean long orange leather coat, has bent looking at him.

"Hello!" The man said in a smooth voice.

"Hi!" Seth said.

"Can you please help me hunt some Abhorrent Monsters?" The red-eyed man asked.
