Temporal Pearls
Chapter 58 - 58: Experiments!

Sling!

Seth with a foul mood came out of his cabin and went on with his normal activities. As in the next 3 days, Manuella has put on hold lessons after she gave them assignments, and Seth has plenty of time to further things with Adamina.

The next day!

Sling!

Seth stood with a scowled. The cottage was blown away and he found himself under the moonlight in the cold. Thanks to his immunity, he wouldn't catch a cold.

Seth sighed, it's taboo to sleep in a place that has no proper roof and flooring. The best thought was to sleep on trees but… he can't climb a tree and hold himself there. So, he has no choice but to work hard on his cottage.

That's how Seth suffered every day in the game for the next seven days!

Seth and Adamina watched their Comic with a smile, they have worked their ass up for seven fucking days to make only two chapters.

The first chapter was an intro, the second chapter was where the plot begins. While Seth dealt with the drawing and other aspects related to it, Adamina was the one that controlled the story pacing and also guided how it should be portrayed.

They even paid an online expert to review it and the review was good.

"I think we can garner attention with this, we don't need to win, we just need exposure in Skytoon!" Seth explained.

"I still choose the 2peaktoon site." She glared at Seth, they have discussed this before but they always have different opinions.

"You don't get it, that site is too local, we should go for one better. Skytoon!" Seth said.

Skytoon was an international site that had thousands of comics and even the contest they started not long ago has garnered the attention of over 200 contestants.

And in the end, they settled with Skytoon. Not because Seth was more credible but because Adamina in a way was more mature than him to let him have what he thought was better.

With great enthusiasm, they signed in to the site with the Enoch Family name as Class C. Then they uploaded the first chapter for review. An hour later...

[First Review successful]

[You can upload Second Chapter for successful contest entrance]

A message was sent to them.

"Woohoo!" Adamina jumped up and hugged Seth. Well, that didn't end well, as they fell down!

"I'm sorry! Why are you so fragile?" But seeing he wasn't responsive but just smiling like a fool, she ignored him.

The truth was, she had tried this before, she uploaded her story in the Skytoon Writing Contest but due to her background as a Class E, she was rejected many times.

But there was a time that she successfully got through but the moment her story garnered attention from people, she was contacted by Content Editors to sell them the story.

She has calculated statistically the story will be hot in the future but what they were offering was very very low compared to its value.

She has no choice but to sell them. That helped her family financially in a way and they encouraged her to do so. However, after that one story, she wasn't able to upload more.

The only other good site that accepted her was 2peaktoon. But one has to pay for advertisements and also after the readers pay there is a hosting fee. Still, it was better than Skytoon.

"We will strike rich. About Seven Nations have access to this Site. We can only pray we have some features early on as I believe in your painting capabilities!" She said elatedly.

Seth has never seen her this happy before. She was full of smiles, from time to time she would laugh as kept reading the 2 chapters repeatedly without getting bored

She looked at him and said, "What?" Seth shook his head.

'Was she possessed?' Seth wondered. But… he has a bigger problem. This girl has elicited some reaction in him that has never happened before.

Seeing her attention was engrossed elsewhere, he grabbed his cane and went out of the room. A certain part of his body has swelled and refused to cool down.

His heart beat as he was terrified, this feeling is new to him. And he doesn't know how to tackle it. Suddenly, his body became weak and he slumped on his bed and fell asleep.

The minor erection has siphoned away his body stamina.

Sling!

Seth woke up in his shabby cottage that he spent a day repairing with wood and other things.

Aura Sight!

He activated it till it turned off. It was still Green everywhere!

He came out and found a sheep peeking at him before it ran away. It appeared after the antelope became his jerky.

"This fucking game!" Seth cursed.

He ate, drank, and washed. Then wore his uniform and walked to the forest. His zeal and motivation have all crumbled; he just considered it to be a job. Performing and obtaining something good will warrant a reward.

It took Seth 2 hr to reach Poison Beauty Shrub. The Red Rose has changed a bit and became pale red, and its body was a bit hard with a gravel sheen.

Aura Sight! It's still green but the Poison Beauty fruits have a red hue.

Over the past seven days, he has not come here but he has been thinking about it. The rose wasn't actually red but because it has fed on the blood of animals and people, that made it Red. Feeding on his Staff made it pale.

That means this damn Rose was even more dangerous than Poison Beauty.

It was understandable. Seth dwelled there observing the tiny tree, trying to see if he could glean anything but he couldn't.

A bold idea came to him. He needs to experiment. He sighed and went hunting. He managed to drag the broken sheep alive and feed it with a part of the shrubs, the sheep died immediately.

The next day, Adamina was jumping happily as they got their first comment. It wasn't even praised but she was content with it.

Seth returned to the game and tried again, feeding another animal that appeared with something different. It died.

.

.

.

Adamina happily said that they have their first Troll that insults their art style. To her, that means they have become someone's rivals.

.

.

.

The next day, Seth's experiment continued but it was all a failure. Nothing in the plant seems to be the cure and Seth's health hasn't improved one bit. In fact, it was fluctuating.

The intense scrutiny of the shrub brings about the completion of his quest.
