Seth stood on a tall building watching players repel Beasts' attacks. His hand was furiously writing stop.
He was a Scribe after all!
He felt bored and wt back to the library. On the way, he t with Nanncy. They have grown a bit distant over the last two weeks.
He still takes lessons, but she no longer showed passion wh she pinpointed his shortcomings. Her character was changing gradually.
At first, wh her burd was lifted, she turned curious but as ti wt on she began to disdain the ga. Whever they speak she kept pointing out the imperfection of the ga and th give out her insights
At first, Seth listed to her but th he realized it was her old self and pride that was tak over. Th they begin to move apart.
He managed to shift all his Arts to G and no matter what he did, they wouldn't evolve to F. And for that, she said she has to figure it out by himself.
Today he decided to give her a pep talk.
"Master Nanncy, Good morning!"
She glanced at him, taking a few seconds before she answered. "Hello!"
"With this mtality, you wouldn't go far in the ga. Underestimating the ga is the last thing you need to do. But what is worse? You have the sa mtality as my sister. You take the ga as a workplace. Using it to achieve sothing in life."
"Gas are to be played, a sport. It should be joyable. Know the flaws and recognise the beauty. Swim in betwe and don't forget the fun part."
"As the Greatest Saint wh it cos to gas, that's how I conquer other gas I played."
He said these words before he walked away.

Verse 3: Know the flaws and recognise the beauty. Swim in betwe and don't forget the fun part.

Wh it cos to Art, Nanncy is the Empress! But wh it cos to VR Gas Seth is Grand Master.
She th reflected on things that bothered her. She wanted to use this ga to rise again. But since they were trapped in a beginner's Village, she can't ev explore beyond it, let alone attempt to get her Weapon back.
But what if the goal was to joy the ga. You can't die for real and you have no obstruction as in real life.
She smiled, her view changed as she sighed, "Thank you, Seth!" She whispers.
The world froze. This ti only the Players can move

[ANNOUNCENT]
Asteroid Online will have three days of updates. All players should log out in t minutes!
_____
There was a commotion and Players were happy. After one month of playing the ga, it was going to be updated.
So were hoping the new features would be amazing while others were afraid the ga would beco harder.
Seth in particular was staring at the announcemt with a psive look. One month was ough to allow everyone to get a feel for the ga. He knew for sure that shit will go wrong right from the momt players resu.
He needs to have a eting with his family to share his thoughts.
Seth viewed Gas as a place to joy but he knew this ga was linked to the Real World. The fact that his Painting Talt in the Real World has improved leaps and bounds just by learning it in-ga told him sothing.
Mostly bad news.
****
Seth was helped out of his Ga Cabin. And he imdiately asked for a eting. So that the players in his family did not go on with their business.
Seth had hidd the fact that his Painting Skills had ris due to the Ga. Except for one person
Though his family did notice that sotis his Cabin used more power than ev the Bronze Cabin of Anna.
They were afraid of what happed to him with the Head Gear happing again. So, the momt they sse a little power surge, they will co and stand beside his Cabin.
It has happed two tis already!
Seth realized the timing corresponded to wh his Skills were converted to Talts and wh the Talts moved from G to G .
In the eting, Seth explained his ideas and recommded so things. "That was my assumption,"
"So, what do you think we should do wh the towns are op? Leave or try to find a Hidd Quest!" Sam asked.
"Well, that was speculation. But if the towns were oped th yes. Look for a quest that will grant you access to a City..."
And th the discussion continued.

"So we are really going to update it?" Bello Ark asked.
"We need to. We need to have clear images of the Contints and their locations. Which among them do we influce and which ones we don't? And I'm going up the realism by %" Bala Ark explained.
"Good luck th. I hope we will have no casualties." Bello by the side said. He was troubled with sothing.
"That is the least of our concerns. In a year or two, we will be forced to divulge our secrets to the world. So that people prepare for it." Bala Ark said to his brother.
"Raining down an asteroid the size of pebbles from outer space as mini cots and the only thing that can save us is the Asteroid Online Ga Cabin!"
"That sounds like sothing out of a fairy tale or Sci-fi. But they better believe it!" Bello Ark mumbled with a frown.

Seth was sitting in his room ruminating. In his conservative estimate, his currt Real-life Art Skills were equal to G- minus talt in the ga.
That was insane!
Because it was with that G- Talt that he created his first Painting Skill, "Haphazard Painting Skills"
As of now, in the real world, he can use the skill to make Haphazard Painting in two and half hours!
"What if it's not only skills we can bring?"
"What if there is technology or so things in the ga that we can copy to the real world!" Seth wondered!
He picked up his PC and logged into the Asteroid Online Forum. He scrolled down seeing various groups.
The groups were made in the na of colours. Most admins were looking for players that have the sa coloured outfit.
Ash Warriors Forum
Aqua Marine Forum
Milky Way Alis Forum
There were various Forums of differt colours but Seth did not see the Azure colour.
He tered every group and checked it out. In the d, he found that only the Ash Forum and Milky Way Forum were active.
The rest mostly have two or three mbers. There is one that caught his atttion.
Red Valley Forum
The Forum had only Admin as a mber and he was looking for people of the sa contint as him.
The guy claid that he was the only player in the Red Valley Village! At first, there were Players but each ti a player died they did not co back.
He thought that they changed the VR Cabin to spawn elsewhere away from the Red Valley.
Soone asked why he didn't do the sa.
He answered that he can't afford to change the Cabin. Besides, he was earning money from the village that he can convert to the real world.
Many people bombard him with questions.
What thods did he use to achieve that? After taking donations he explained that it was through chain Quest from Village Chief.
Seth st the information to Sam, and the reply he got was they already knew about that.
He checked the other groups. In the d, he tered the Geral Group. The talk was about the Update and what it might bring.
Seeing that he was not getting what he wanted he exited. Knowing for sure people were keeping secrets, he dropped the PC and wt to his art room.
There was an unfinished painting he had started a week ago.
The result will be magnifict as he was using a new skill that he obtains in the ga.
GG Skill
Glue Gaze Paintings Skills!
It was a skill he learned from Nanncy. It used differt combinations of colours to create eye-capturing portraits.
His mother, Sarah has figured out that his skills have improved and not wanting to be the only bearer of secrets, Seth told her the truth.
She was shocked and understood that the ga is deeper than everyone thought. Her first reaction was to stop everyone from playing, but that also ans a loss, if it will have more impact on the world.
In the d, she began to devise a plan to better take advantage of the situation. The world still values Art, specifically paintings, especially nobles, it was in their nature to collect them.
There was a saying,
"The world still appreciates Physical Art from the Mind and it is a profession that never gets old."
Sarah's first idea was to op a Painting ShowRoom. But wh she thought about it, she realized that was a risky deavour.
What if Seth was targeted?
They were after all newly ris Class C citizs and they have not found their putting yet.
What was later planned was for Seth to make Paintings and Sara finds a way to sell them.
So far he has made about t paintings. Five were already out, but only one sold and the money was good.
Sara was testing the waters, to see how profitable it would be and what better channel she should use.
The Painting he was currtly working on was of an old man. Their first ever king turned Presidt.
He was said to be a great man that used his wealth to help the needy during the chaos. And Both the poor and rich love him.
If a high-class wealthy man was doing charity, the highest honour is for him to be compared to the first Presidt.
Audu Makama.
A strange na for the new World but still respected. And many childr have his na.
