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!
Shadow Stealer
"You came from Red Valley!" The man said. Seth smiled as he looked at the man's red lips and asked, "you have red lips!" That made the man frown and Seth's heart stopped beating.
Seth's breathing became hard too and his shadow that was making him feel like drowning in mud increased, now he was using all his power to move, if not because he had a lot of buff in walking, he would have collapsed. His Exertion points too were consuming faster.
Seth reached the man with sweat on his forehead as he tried to breathe, so he raised his can't to tap the man on the shoulder. He felt that he would be swallowed, he felt that his being would be consumed if he touched the man but he did it nonetheless and a burst of aura that expanded for kilometres came out of the man's body.
The kilometre-expanded aura became thick and flowing like pale water but with tints of black and white ashes in it. Seth floated in that water and other objects that weren't very heavy.
