Temporal Pearls

Later he opened his eyes inside his own mansion, kneeling before the player as she sat on his couch.

"Tell me the name of this place and what is its surrounding environment!" She asked.

"His staff wasn't with him and some of his Acquired Arms were on display on the table. She was able to check him and bring them out. Not only that, she removed his Green Cloak.

"You invaders are imprudent!" Seth said.

"Are we?" She said and then her guards bought something out of a bag and came near Seth and tried to use it on him.

CRACK!

His Stone Will broke just like that after they came close to him and Seth felt compelled to speak.

"Mantle of Slavery!"

"Is that the name of the forest?" The female player asked. But then the next moment a rusty chain sprang from the ground and wrapped her neck and pulled her down to a kneeling position. The 20 people all solidified and became black as charcoal.

"Damn it. Bkom escape!" She shouted.

Tush!

Her body collapsed into black ash and blew away as if the wind pushed and then she solidified outside the mansion. Sadly the chain was still on her neck.

~Size Reschedule.

The staff expanded and extended and slammed on her body.

"Arg!" She cried out before she slammed on a house.

[Manili Sadwa (Clone)]

[Level 15 Black Tamer]

[Health: Critically Injured]

"Clone?" Seth asked.

"Haha, Seth Enoch. You have no class and yet you roam the continent! Good. I marked you!" Saying that she disappeared in black smoke.

Somewhere far away from Living Forest, a woman came out from a coffin with a smile as she said, "I found a player that has no class in a distant forest!"

She announced to a group of players that have different colour attire among them was a group of NPC.

"I mark him to be mine when we meet, even if he got himself a class!" She said with relief.

Ding!

[You have been Marked by Black Tamer]

[Note: Get a Class to reduce Black Tamers' influence]

_____

"She wasn't here in person but a clone?"

Seth then looked around until he found a place with a strange black stone!

[Travelling Stone]

[One uses rare treasure that can be used to send a projection of oneself to explore uncharted territory without risk of dying]

"So this is how she came here!"

Seth sighed and just went back to his mansion and stored it in his pocket and dropped down to rest. After that, he brought out papers and began to plan how to tackle Red Valley with the little information he had.

After exhausting his ideas, he then went around checking anything that can be improved in the village. In the end, some sculptures need some finishing touches. And he then went on to do that.

Ding!

[Former Villagers Sculptures has reached their maximum carving perfection based on your ability]

[Village points obtained: 400

[Note: No more carving will earn you VP]

_____

"I have outdone myself!" Seth's compliment. The only thing he could do now was to find a way to make colour and paint them. But unlike carving, he needs to be careful of the could be used he will defect the sculptor with unsustainable colours that would not earn him VP.

So, he decided to search for different flowers and other related colourful plants first and have them in the mansion. He spent the whole day doing that and now the hall in the mansion was filled with almost 50% of all the flowers, leaves, bark and roots from the north part of the forest.

"Aura Sight!" The green invaded his eyes, though he can see some of the colours on the flowers.

"Aura Tome!"

The green vanished and Seth had his eyes overwhelmed with mesmerizing colours and that put him in a trance as he stared at them.

After an hour, Seth watched for 15 minutes before he rested for 10 minutes and then observed for 15 minutes Seth received a notification.

Ding!

[You have reached a Milestone]

[You have become eligible to read the first chapter of Aura Path]

"Hooray!" Seth jumped happily. With great expectations, he started as the book became more solid and it opened to the Number 1 Page. But then Seth's expectations depleted.

He was expecting a skill but met with a causal explanation of what Aura is and how important it was.

[Chapter 1 (Page 1)]

[What is Aura]

[Aura is the effect of things that exist in the world. Everything that can be seen with eyes, and touched with hands have an Aura in them. Aura is hidden from normal senses and requires training to be seen and even understood but with special eyes or items, it can be observed and studied. Every Aura is unique, no different things have the same Aura no matter how alike they are physical.

<Definition: Aura is the manifestation of the amalgamation of what an existing living organism or no living organizing is>

____

"Hmm. At first glance, it looked like a boring text but after reading I was able to understand some things. Also, my eyes as usual were improving better!"

Seth Gerard the chapter 1 page 1 again and he thought he was grasping something. But after reading for the third time the book turned to the next page.

[Chapter 1 (Page 2)

[How Aura Form]

[As long as something exists, then it has an Aura. But there might be special means to view it. However, Aura as a manifestation was a result of the active unity of different parts of an object or life. Humans are made of different parts such as [The Body] which comprises Skeleton, muscles, Skin, organs, Heart and Brain. [The Emotions] such as anger, happiness, greed, and sympathy.

[The Thought] and [The Spirits]. To have a functioning human body, Emotions, Thoughts and Spiritss must exist.

[The Spirits] is the most elusive among them but it was what served as the main signs that differentiate an intelligent human from an Intelligent Lion. No matter how a human transforms his body, as long as the Spirits hasn't transformed then his Aura will indicate him as human.

The Body is the vassal that conveyed the Aura to the outside world. In rare cases, one can even affect the surroundings with it.

[The Emotions] are the rise and fall of strange stimuli that affect the functioning body of humans and influence certain actions. It also influences the output and also temperature of the Aura. Temperature Here doesn't mean heat and cold but the behaviour of the Aura, is it wild or calm?

[The Thoughts] is another elusive but we're the driving force in controlling The Emotions and the body.

[If the above align together in a specific manner human can achieve manifest his Aura to affect the surrounding]

___

Seth looked at his hand as usual; he never saw his Aura even though his eyes were active. But that wasn't what he was interested in. He wanted to see if he can affect the surroundings with his Aura. This part of the chapter just told him that he can have an Aura and manifest the cool environment.

In other Game before and films and novels, he watched Aura is mysterious but they all have explanations for it. So he can't take the martial art film Aura and assume it will be the same in-game or some magic films made.

Seth read repeatedly until the page turned on its own.

[Chapter 1 (Page 3)

[Aura Interactions]

[As Aura are a unique manifestation of all things that exist in the world, they are in a dormant state, not active, not harmful, and also invisible to the normal sight and detection mechanism. Only extremely rare items or abilities will allow one to see it.

However, for those with a unique ability or an item that allowed them to see it, in some unique instances, they can interact with the Dormant Aura possibly or negatively. Provided they can make their Aura Active.

Active Aura is the opposite of Dormant Aura. It provides positive or negative stimuli or effects to the body of an object or creature. In the case of humans mostly positive when active and negative when dormant.

Some Humans in their extreme emotional state such as anger, rage, and fear, might have their Aura to be active and they experience a boost of perceptions, strength, and any other skill they are adept at. At that moment, the Aura allowed the humans to exceed their level of capability, achieving unnatural superhumans for a short time with no lasting injury.

In any case, where normal humans exceed their level without Active Aura, that human might be severely injured…]

Seth didn't continue reading as he jumped and laughed; he had just got the answer he had been wanting!

"That's why I was able to run and surpass my limit with less difficult even though I know my body should have been able to carry me."
