Temporal Pearls

She provides juice for him. He wanted to reject it but his body responded differently.  But he might have denied it, the juice was good and he liked it, it's just that he was in a bad mood and that made him dislike anything she brought.

When she woke up to leave, Seth asked, "Where is your tail?" Instead of asking her normal or important questions, he went to the foolish one.

But Seth has a reason for that, he assumed she will not tell him the truth even if he asks. He might as well annoy her.

"I do not have a tail now!" She whispered as she looked away.

"You do have a tail when you are that hideous monster. Now that you're a beautiful monster you cut it off?"

"That wasn't me. I was malformed because I'm incapable of supporting evolution!" Her answers were soft and innocent.

"It doesn't matter. So you do have a tail?"

Seth asked suspiciously. But inside he was surprised she wasn't getting upset. Didn't she hate him and why did he feel like he was speaking with a more mature woman than a girl?

Instead of answering him, she stood, looked away and removed her clothes. Her action was smooth and Seth wasn't prepared for it. The smooth rosy delicate backside of her body became free for him to gaze at.

However, half of everything was covered by the long blood-red hair, she then gently shifted the hair and he saw the small underdeveloped butt she has. But there was no tail between.

She then casually put on her clothes as her cheek became rosier with shyness.

Even after she left for some moment, seth was still stunned by her action. His strategy has failed and he was the one put in place, for now.

Now he will never taunt her about her tail or even use it to real up things about her.

"Hmm! Aura Manipulation"

[Aura Manipulation (E-)]

[Aura Manipulation is the ability to direct and influence the effect and movement of your aura in your body and outside of your body. Mastery: (E-). Duration: 4 seconds. Cool down: 1hr]

Seth tried to stimulate his Active Aura but failed. However, after he tried three hours later, his body released sticky pale energy that permeated his attire and cloak, which made it flutter. His staff also pulled toward him but the bloodstream made a pillar and stopped it.

Seth counted seconds and after 4 seconds, the active aura became dormant. What he didn't understand was that it said 1hr cool down but then it took 3hr.

In the end, he figured out the reason. When he saw the sticky pale energy that was when the aura was most abundant and active. And later it wasn't abundant and very active.

Perhaps if his sight was A+, he might have seen it.

After another 3hr Seth called the active aura. But this time the moment the aura sprang up, he used and put his connection with Staff of elevation.

To his surprise, the aura felt easier to control and he felt more powerful and his attire seemed to have more connection with him than before.

This time the aura duration reached up to 7 seconds. He checked the Aura Menu.

It has moved from (E-) to (E), which was a considerable leap. Not only did he feel he had more control but it also stayed longer.

Seth sighed and his stomach grumbled. He is hungry. Right on time, his loli wife came. She has changed her clothes but they were still red with colourful flowers embroiled in them. Her face looked down, shy, but Seth sneered at her acting.

He didn't say a thing too, till she feed him before she quickly left. To him, it felt like she was in a hurry and she didn't make eye contact with him. But then, he too sighed in relief when she left.

Was he nervous? No… but yes, he was nervous. She was the first girl that ever became naked before him. And he had a glimpse of one of her underdeveloped hills when she turned to shift her hair.

"Damn it!" Seth cursed, "this is a game for god sake!"

But thinking now, he washed that off his head and thought of things he should do. He can't really do much. As he sat there, he had no exertion points. So, he is weak and unable to do shit.

Not only that, he can't view his status, only the aura one. Even that, he presumed it was due to the Aura blood he obtained which was this place's ability. If not, he wouldn't see the Aura Status.

He tried calling Aura Book but failed. So, Seth began to formulate simple questions he would ask his wife if she came back.

Three hours later, his Aura permeated his body but this time Seth focused like never before to not affect his cloak. And he succeeded in the last three seconds.

[Aura Manipulation (E+)]

Just like that in a day, he moved from E- to E+. Seth knew it will get harder but he doesn't mind it. He needs this training to murder time.

After an hour passed, Seth activated his aura but he saw nothing. And after another hour he activated it, and yes, it sprang faster than before.

He didn't try anything new but it lasted for 10 seconds.

E+ grant him 10 seconds of active aura. Seth might have not done anything but he felt that the connection with attire was improving each time the aura passed through it. Not only that, something in his body is changing. He can't pin it down but he felt it.

He was pondering that and what would happen to him when another session of feeding came.

"How long have I been here?" He asked flatly as he observed her evading his eyes. When she gently pushed forward the spoon, Seth refused to open his mouth, which surprised him. So, that was what changed in him. He was gaining control of his body.

"You have been here for 27 days."

Seth's eyes widened in the absurd amount of time. Suddenly, Seth remember his family and wondered how much has time pass there. Did he miss the online university lectures? What about the painting class with Manuella?

A dreadful feeling gripped his heart. And glared at the unassuming innocent face, the she-demon. He felt a knot in his throat and he couldn't speak.

He took a deep breath as his eyes became red.

She fed him and left in a hurry. She did feel his changed of demeanour and was startled by it.

The anger didn't stop him from practising after 2hr passed. This time he tried to stop the aura from permeating the attire. He wanted it to stay on his body. But the more he concentrated the more he felt that he couldn't control his wheel body aura.

He wasn't doing it right. In his attempt, he confirmed that the aura seeped out of his skin like sweat. Trying to stop it from seeping out was impossible for him. But trying to stop it from reacting and permeating the attire was doable but very hard.

2 hours later Seth didn't try to control the aura but focused on his arm and tried to make sure all aura that came out wasn't going to react with the attire slips.

And he succeeded but the feeling wasn't good as he felt as if he could sense another layer of skin missing which was him not sensing the hand sleeve.
