Temporal Pearls

"Why are you crying?" She asked.

"I' not! Why do you have a divorce paper? Are you..!?" He asked again

"Look at yourself in the mirror!" She dodged the question again.

Raaz looked through his phone screen and found his eyes red and dried tears on his face, he quickly cleaned and looked back at Seana and asked.

"The papers!"

"What papers?" She had stored away the black papers and acted ignorant of his indictments!

The couple stared at each other before Raaz sighed and ignored what he saw.

When the family came back, they met with Sam and Joseph. Joseph claimed to have been electrocuted while Sam narrated that Raaz came and announced Seth has won a Lottery, for that reason he had to take Seth abroad for competition and Anna followed them.

He tried to convince them that the whole thing was so urgent that they didn't have time to call them and inform them.

The family called Anna and the news was confirmed by her as for Seth, she claimed that he was in the competition.

More backup lies were concocted to back up the lie until the Parents were somewhat convinced. And because Sam's acting was impeccable, no one found him suspicious.

The next day, pictures of Seth and Anna were sent to them in a hall where a seminar was taking place. And there was even a video clip of them greeting their family.

Later that day, a Refrigerator was sent to the family with the logo of the company that organized the competition, claiming that Seth won it.

All that was elaborated a plan that Raaz pushed forward to calm down the confused family.

As for the real Seth, he only woke up twice a day before he went deep asleep. But because the treatment was first class, he was recovering very fast. And he was no longer a skeleton now.

In Anna's absence, some problems arose in the Enoch family while some problems were able to be solved but as the beating heart of the family, Anna was needed in the house more than before.

Seth sat on his bed, after three days of medication. He was still skinny but he had some strength to sit.

"Here drink this!" Anna gave him some concoction the doctors recommended. Because of its bad taste, Seth doesn't like it but she forced him to drink it.

Mentally he has recovered well and he can remember everything. It was just that his body is too weak to move around. Still, they will be leaving Sky Hospital today.

Ever since Raaz left two days ago, he hadn't come, he was trapped somewhere by his wife making babies but knowing that the expenditure of Seth's hospital bills will go higher every day, he managed to sneak out.

"Good. He has taken that a lot right?" Sweaty Raaz said after he barged into the room.

"Yes. But you know he complained about feeling nausea!" Anna said as she looked at the half-filled cup that Seth couldn't take it anymore.

"You better not, you brat. Do you know how much it cost? Fucking 1.6 million Union!" Raaz spat out.

Both Seth and Anna gaped at Raaz before they looked at the green concoction. Seth immediately feels like drinking more; he took a good gulp.

"Good, my Lil brother. You are drinking away our assets' worth of concoction!' Anna said as she tapped his back.

Seeing that the kid will take his traditional medicine well, Raaz turned and started blending more of the traditional medicine. At that time Anna snatched the cup from Seth and took a gulp too. Her face scrunched due to the bitter and weird saltiness of the drink but held.

"1.6 is truly bad for the taste buds!" Anna remark. With a red face, feeling as if she will vomit it, "Nevertheless, I will go into history too!" She added.

Raaz looked at her suspiciously, she quickly said, "You have drunk it all. Good brother!"

Raaz was looking at her shirt that had green paste smeared there but he ignored it with a smirk.

Seth was taken to a Free Land, a country that Identified itself as Jupiter Moon and was also recognised by the world as such. The country was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and had different laws than the rest of the world.

One thing they were good at was Medicine. Almost all the incurable diseases in the world can be cured there.

However, Its history was a bit shady because all manner of criminals escape there and the World can't do a thing about it. However, they have a strict law on Killing. Any kind of offence such as Stealing, Lying to Officials, Tricks and other prohibited actions stipulated by their laws was punishable by death on the spot.

So, criminals might escape there but their activity must be on hold or else the whole country will turn against them.

Another thing was, it was very expensive to live there. The lowest accommodation one can gate is 100 Union. Not to mention the astronomical amount of taxes from everything and expenses.

Raaz made money with Seth so that was why he didn't feel stung when he took him directly to that place to be cured? And now they are back in Ni Country but not in the Enoch Family house.

"Have you looked around?" Raaz said as he came in with supplies into the apartment he took them.

"Yes. Do you live here with your wife!" Anna asked. Seth was watching TV on a couch.

"No! This is one of my hideouts."

He dropped the supply and helped them settle down well.

"How do you feel Seth!"

Seth looked at him with sunken eyes! "I feel fine!"

"Good! Ready for a dive tomorrow!" Raaz asked.

"What? Soon? I don't think he is ready, yet!" Anna chimed in.

"He should actually," Seth asked.

"I'm ready. I want to know what happened!"

"What happened actually?" Anna asked for the first time about the reason. Seth looked at her with a sigh and began to narrate to them what happened.

"Gawee Continent. I heard more than ten people died there!" Raaz dropped a bomb on Anna. She was shocked and asked, "Why?"

"Well. You already know the Cabin isn't actually just a game cabin. They are Energy Generators. But… that wasn't the whole truth. The cabin is also Evolution Facilitators." Raaz explained as he eyed them both.

"The more a player dive, the more his body is analyzed to their genes, and through the use of humans the computer will be able to influence the mind and the body to change a bit. Positively improved but in some cases, there will be a negative improvement or adverse improvements. The process is very slow and requires time, years if I may say.

However, there are some exceptions." He said as he started at Seth.

"So, he is evolving?" Anna asked sceptically.

"Perhaps."

"Can he stop playing!"

"No! The reason was that your brother has a problem with his body. His brain is feeding on his body and his life span is very low. According to diagnostics, if he stays like this, at most, he will be wild for 3 to 4 years!"

"I don't understand!" Anna asked as she became agitated.

"I didn't either. The way the doctors put it, he has an over-developed brain that consumes too much energy which in turn renders his body weak at all times."

"How! What does the brain do to consume such energy!"

"Processing information from the senses. To put it simply, he is a super genius. Normally, people with this disorder will have an oversized brain and a big head. In his case, the brain was compacted together making his head normal but to maintain its function without overheating  his body is a sacrifice!" He said before stood and added

"You can read the medical report and understand the details. But what I'm saying is that the game Cabin has made it worse. If before the body adjusted itself but now it activates it and that is why he was having all sudden comprehension and new talents developing. At the same time, the cabin might have made it worse but it will prolong his life. I will explain this part in detail after I come back."

He then walked out.

Seth leaned back and sighed. '3 years!' He thought.

"He is lying. Don't take it to heart!" Anna said with tears in her eyes and then she hugged him.

The next day, the normal time for diving, Skinny Seth wore shorts and entered his cabin. He sighed before he closed his eyes and the cabin closed.

Anna quickly said, "Yesterday, you said three confusing things! One, you said there are more than 10 people that didn't live on that continent. Two, you said, Seth has more brain tissue than normal and it was compacted in place which resulted in his body failing. And…" she was agitated as she asked her question.

"Calm yourself. This little brat isn't going to die that easily. Trust me on that!"
