Temporal Pearls

Chapter 60: Entrapment

Two things terrified Seth, he knew some things that happed in the game correspond to real life. And… the realistic feeling in the game that was almost an exact replica of real life made him deluded that what was happing to him was real and what if his real body changed too. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.

He now stood before his cabin contemplating. His tolerance has reached its limit and he doesn't believe he can be carefree again.

He shook his head as he read what Raaz st him regarding what happed to him. They were s of couragemt and the reality of things.

People like Seth feel the game world more realistically than others because of two things. One, they come in contact with Temporal Pearls. Two, their Mtal Power.

There were ways for a person to fight the delusion and the fear they were expericing. And that was by doing exercise in real life—that will stimulate all the ssory organs in the real world and make an individual feel the differce.

Seth shook his head and thought, 'The thing was, I knew it was fake but, it was like a dream I'm living. Sometimes ev if I know it was a dream that wouldn't stop it from scaring me.'

The young man steel his resolve and slid into the cabin. Joseph, who has be watching by the side, helped him close the lid.

Sarah would have stopped Seth but seeing his stamina improving every time he dived made her think and hope positively about it.

Ev Seth was dumbfounded wh he ran from Poison Beauty location to his cottage in minutes. That means, in the game, he tapped into something called hysterical strgth.

Seth oped his eyes with trepidation, and th he imagined Adamina hugging him with her melons pressing on his chest and that put a smile on his face as he ssed a certain body part of his responding.

He sat and found himself naked, his Azure Uniform by the side and a strange thick liquid dripping from his skin.

Ding!

Seth calmed down and closed his eyes to feel his body. He th called status but nothing on it. However, he was perceiving the womb just like he can feel his hands, albeit weaker!

He th read the Womb status and discerned the differce. The womb was no longer Dormant but only empty and also part of him.

Seth th called his Health status, it was the same. Nothing changed.

[The Womb is ready to Evolve]

Seth moved to the water barrel and washed, th he wore his Uniform which gave him a strange safety and comfortable feeling and th walked out of the cottage. He took a deep breath which gave him a refreshing feeling.

With his staff, he walked toward the Poison Beauty. In the past, he would have begged his mother to allow him to play the game but now he wanted to create an excuse not to play the game.

3 hr later, he reached the place with bated breath but he didn't rest but began to eat Red Nectar Rose, his body immediately began turning red, th he ate the vines and other parts of it.

He almost fell down but he walked forward. He grabbed Poison Beauty grape-like fruits, stem, leaf, branch, thorn, roots, and any parts of the shrub, th he walked to the nearest tree.

Using 'Size Reschedule' he sat comfortably with difficulty and poured everything in his mouth and swallowed.

That will affect his avatar to a certain extt and he will not be allowed to log in for some time. That was what happed with that player that was graced by a Poison Beauty thorn. Seth wants that to happ to him.

Seth's body heated up and began changing colour. Thanks to the pain he dured yesterday, the pain he was feeling now wasn't ev bothering him.

'I will have plty of time to complete my projects, me and Adamina!' That was his plan.

He can't quit diving but if he can make the poison to temporarily ban him from coming into the game, th it was a good excuse.

"Evol..ve!" He forcefully mumbled. His body swelled up and his tongue expanded and filled his mouth.

The Womb floated in place and he began to feed on his Mtal power.

Ding!

Health: Excellt

Capacity: Fetus

Stimulation Force: Evolution Process (5%)

[Evolution may bring positive or negative effects to the Womb]

[Note: This Womb is now your external organ as well as your Arm]

Seth dismissed the notification and closed his heavy eyes. That was wh he ssed another view. He can feel the surings of the Womb. However, it was weak.

Not only that, he noticed, elatedly, that his other sses were sharp and wh he conctrated he felt something very familiar close to him.

What shocked him was that, despite the poison overload, his health didn't wors at all. It was still critical.

Seth th removed that thought from his head and tried to sleep but the effect of what he ate began to become body-numbing.

It was slowly spreading, making him lose the sse of his body until he began to realize the pain he felt during the Transformation incidt was better than this feeling.

This one was invading his very being, depriving him of feeling the vironmt a him... Seth doesn't know wh he fell from the tree and broke his leg as his body was like a dead sac.

But th intse hunger appeared in him and began to drive him crazy. He pushed his uncoordinated body and began to devour everything a him.

As time wt on, Seth lost the sse of being a human and became like an animal devoid of reason or semblance of sanity as he roamed the forest like a beast that craved to feed only.

In the real world, his cabin has sealed itself, and days passed while he was trapped inside.

Raaz and his tire team couldn't do a thing because the damn thing will cause harm to Seth if they force their way in. The only saving grace was that Seth's body function was perfect but it was like he was in a coma.

"Why does this kid always have to suffer like this!" Adam, Seth's father complained.

"Because it was Rank 5. If he had a Bronze Rank th things like this might not happ. Rest assured he is fine!" Raaz explained, not believing himself but he had to show a strong front!

At the d of the 5th day, the cabin slid op and a gtle face of a boy oped his eyes.

"Most you always cause something so dramatic!?" Adamina complained.

Seth sighed and shook his head, 'I planned to avoid the damn game but it trapped me. I only hope my in-game madness won't follow me here.'
