Temporal Pearls
Using the brain as an Axis to process large amounts of data, an Advance Computer was made that is faster, accurate and more efficient than Quantum Computers. The only downside was it consumed an infinite amount of energy within a short period of time and also make the human brain stop functioning after prolonged use. Nevertheless, when a looming threat of destruction encroached on Earth for the second time due to excessive Energy emitted by Beta Asteroid Core, humanity decided to use the Advance Computer to siphon away the excess Energy! And the fastest way to do that was to make a VR MMORPG Cabin that will allow billions of people to dive in and make use of the Energy. **** Seth was born with a very low body constitution that made him almost a cripple due to his body getting stressed very fast from any extended physical activity. He escaped reality by gaming and when he met with an accident he stopped gaming. But when the ultimate game was out, Asteroid Online, Seth was asked to dive again. Sadly, he found an exact replica of his real-life body in the game. At first, he detested it, but on that first day, Seth was intrigued by the game and wished to explore more. To his utter shock, when he raised his Skills to Talent in the game, his real-life skill also improved. A series of other unexplainable events keep happening to him which steel his resolve to crack the game mystery. **** I don't know if the concept of this story was used before but I have not seen it anywhere. So, the story may have its unique concept and slightly different classes that were used in other VR Games. Don't worry, you will not be disappointed!

Seth stood and looked through the car window and found the mother curled, protecting the baby from back and forth wreckage. Seth pushed away the mangled body of the mother and saw the young girl beneath, she was fine just in shock and then grabbed her.
Under his embrace, the one-year-old baby calmed down and stared at him. Then Seth walked to other cars, touching them which activated them and unlocked the doors.
Some of the cars' dead bodies, blood and gore spilt out, some of them half-living half-dead people and some of them were uncased, just in a state of shock. He moved around until he was tired and the baby on his hand became heavy to him while she was half asleep.
Seth then met a healthy old woman and gave her the baby and walked back to his car.
The moment he touched it, its body glowed blue then transparent. It was now fully activated. He sat in the driver's seat, confirming it was fully functional.
