Temporal Pearls

Chapter 97: Hidden Quests and Exceptional Feats

Seeing Anna partially cal down, Raaz began to explain the problem in detail.

Gawee Continent was a high-level area and the few players trapped there were low-level. If one took that into account that the more active one participates in the game the more Energy generated by the Cabin, it's safe to assume the danger level one met in Gawee was higher and thus the Cabin will force the brain to work extra hard to serve its purpose in Terran Energy formation.

However, at this level, the player's body is weak and has not undergone any changes that will support that kind of force.

Another thing was, whenever a player met with the entities from the Asteroid, the cabin worked extra hard to form more energy, at the same time their impact on the player will have a partial effect on the game cabin.

The above problem was what made a lot of players die and also made Seth nearly die.

While the two discuss, Seth has opened his eyes and found himself in an empty black space. His body was glowing and floating in place but there was nothing and no one there.

Seth called his status, and that was when the notification appeared.

Seth's body was lying in a crater in the sand. His mind was in that dark space where he read about his exceptional feats and the reward he obtained.

Meters away from him was rocky sand and the hybrid lion was lying there. He seemed to have died but when one observed the creature still had saliva of soul in him.

Seth's body that was lying motionless jerked and the lion opened its eyes. And watched the dead body come back to life.

Seth's destroyed heart began to grow back and gradually it was formed. However, this one was different from the one he sacrificed.

And then Seth opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He sprang and sat down confused. He should have disappeared and reappeared Living Root but here he was.

He then tried to stand.

Suddenly, from the ground chains rose and wrapped around his neck. At the same, it turned into a steel collar with spikes that sank into his neck and blood slid out. The steel collar tightened and more than ten chains anchored him to the ground.

[Congratulations]

[You have killed your master!]

[Chains of slavery broken]

One by one the chains began to break until only one remained. However, with every passing moment, Seth can feel his neck being tightened by the Steel Collar.

Ding!

[Even in death, You will stay a Slave to the higher life form]

Seth was shocked as he saw the notification. How could he still be a slave after the slave master was dead?

He then grabbed the single remaining cold steel chain and pulled it from the ground but it won't budge. And by the way, he felt its sturdiness there is no way he could destroy it.

"You better destroy that chain. Or you will face something worse than death!" The dying Roana Prada's thundering voice let out.

The dying lion tried to lift his finger but failed. The lion sighed in pity, that chains were so weak to him to the point that his hair is stronger.

Seth looked around, looking at his scattered objects after his Attire was obliterated. He didn't see a thing that could help.

[In 10 seconds you will be a Wandering Slave in Search of a master]

[00:09]

"Damn!"

Seth panicked and then his eyes landed on his distant staff. He pushed himself to grab it but it was far from his reach. He then lay down and stretched his leg and nudged it to him.

[00:05]

He still couldn't pull it with his leg, he even pushed it further from him. "Damn it!" Seth began to weep with tears. Suddenly, a wind blew and it pushed the staff to him. Roana Prada was the one that blew the wind with its mouth.

He grabbed it!

[00:02]

"Size Reschedule!"

The staff became very thin to the point it could enter into the chain's holes.

[00:01]

"Size Reschedule!"

CRACK!

SHATTERED!

[00:00]

The staff expanded exponentially and sacrificed half of its durability to shatter the chains.

The time for that and the time limit hit at the same time and that caused the steel collar to tighten, almost sinking into Seth's neck, suffocating him.

Ding!

[You have destroyed Chains of Slavery!]

[You have become Unslave]

[You have obtained Slave Chained Collar]

The chains loosened a bit and Seth breathed in with difficulty before he regained his consciousness. Seeing the notification he muttered.

"Unslave?"

"You are still a slave that is free!" Roana Prada said.

Seth sighed and remained on the ground for some time before he sat on the sand.

[First Might Activated]

[Slave Chains Collar changed to Mantle of Slavery]

The Steel Collar melted and merged with Seth's neck to become something like a silver tattoo.

[First Might Activated]

This time Seth felt a melted metal flowing from his neck to his right arm. The melted metal then tattooed itself on his bicep and a silver-coloured collar with chains tattoo appeared.

When that happened he felt the pressure he was feeling had abetted. The wound on his neck also healed completely and he felt a clear head. He then looked around as if he didn't undergo some dangerous situation.

Seth stood with zero difficulties and looked at his scattered objects. He grabbed his staff and looked at the dying Lion

"Your name, brave human?" The thundering voice of the lion said.

"Seth Enoch!" Seth said.

"Good! Gawee will be pleased to have you!" The lion said and at that moment Seth felt everything had slowed down and a large monolith protruded from the earth, it rose very high in the sky reaching the clouds above.

Then a door opened and Seth walked inside and met with rows of bookshelves, some of the books seemed old, somewhere new. Seth passed in one row until he reached a floating rocky pool above it was a ball of water.

[Congratulations]

[You have reached Gawee Continent Hidden Archive]

[For siding with Amma and fighting off her enemy, you are entitled to be given a reward by the continent you live on]

[Choose your reward]

It was the ball of water that said those. Seth felt free to move on his own as before his body was just moving like a zombie.

When he turned around, any book he glanced at, its name would pop up.

[Super Strength Scripture]

[Studying and Practicing the content of this book will grant a person super strength infinitely until they no longer practiced it]

<Not suitable for your constitution>

Seth sighed and glanced at another book

[Super Speed Scripture]

[Super Sight]

[Super hearing]

[Super tasting]

There is an enhancement for every part of the body. Seth ended up seeing 78 books, each one enhancing one part of the body.

"Damn. This is OP! I can't begin to imagine what will one become after he acquired them all and practices"

<Invincibile Undying Emperor>

The archive answered Seth's question. He nodded in understanding. Then Seth continues to look for other books.

[World Geography]

[It contains the knowledge of the whole Amma and its geographical differences. One will never be lost while travelling] hosted on m-v_l-e _m-p_y-r

<Its knowledge base Book>

.

.

[Mine Detection Device]

[All known and unknown mines in Amma are documented here]

<Its knowledge base Book]

.

.

[Metal Telekinesis Scripture]

[It will grant you the knowledge of all metal you come across and also by studying them you will exert influence on them mentally]

<Its Mental Power and Knowledge Base Book>

.

.

[Great Body Force]

[It guides the body to use its maximum body potential to manifest external force to affect the surroundings]

< It's not suitable for your constitution>

.

.

Seth walked around reading many different books. When he came to another shelf, he realized that he could only select a book from the shelves he was previously on. The rest of the Archive was not open to him.

<Will you like me to choose for you, based on your strength, weakness and capabilities>

Seth thought for some time and then said, "Yes!"

He then found Himself in a dark place with a list of books that he had seen before, and then some of the book names disappeared until only seven remained.
