[Other Feats of similar calibre will be used to generate providence value.]

[Generating value...]

In Seth\'s mind, all other feats he performed flashed and then the providence began to fill up. Combining all Normal Feats was barely enough to fill Providence 2. However, Abnormal and Exceptional Feats have so much weight that they filled up the other providence and even with leftovers. Find your next adventure on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

[General Luck Value: 5]

[Note: Distinct Providence are active and can only be generated using feats of similar calibre]

Seth understood this immediately, he had been possessed by the moon but survived, the luck value from that moment made him actively immune to possession. That was to say he can also allow it to happen if we neglect his Luck. Another thing was that he can gift luck to someone.

Seth tried to do what he did to dominate the forest and that was him opening his mental power to flood and found he can\'t do that now. And he knew the reason, it was the core attribute.

Every attribute, skill, talent and tattoos has been removed from his body before his mind was so relaxed he can afford that but now the core traits weighed him down. Besides he wasn\'t meant to tap into it normally, it was just occasional feats. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that it was the Living Roots that wanted to feed off his mental energy in disguise.

Suddenly, all that was over and his items returned to him and he felt great in his mind and then...

[Log Out: 24h maintenance]

Seth safely logged out of the game.

He opened his eyes as the cabin slid open. He sat thinking he would feel cramps in his muscles but he was fine. He crawled out and stood looking at the garden through a large glass window.

His body was a bit leaner than before but he felt much stronger. He turned and found a new face looking at him.

"You are not dead?" She asked. The middle-aged woman asked. Seth just stared at her before he asked, "Hello, where is my mother?"

"They are all at work?" She answered with a smile as she stared at him like a ghost.

"Okay," Seth walked out and looked at the calendar in the digital clock before he sighed ruefully.

*****

"Seven Months. What were you doing all that time" Adam, Seth\'s father, asked.

Seth didn\'t hold anything back, only the thing he can\'t remember. In fact, even with the possession that happened and his coming out and having a conversation with his mother and sister, Seth was under the notion it was him that had a quick rest before he went back.

A lot has changed, the family was barely doing okay but has stabilized to a degree. Sir Mathew understood their value and was using them as pawns in the local markets.

They secure him some items that seem not of value but people like him secretly hunt. The sad truth was they had become Class D again but due to Raaz and some other factors, they still enjoyed Class C privilege.

Anna was a manager of a company now that produces Silver Gel, a gel that helps wash away rust, keep metal pristine, and made rust resistant, above that it made it shine.

The company at first belonged to her but her fall and the government taking their support made her lose all rights she had. Nonetheless, she works there to procure half of the needed expenses they need for the house and family.

Due to Seth\'s prolonged game, someone had taken his place at school. Now he studies instead of him and he also receives an allowance from the school. As the course was related to agriculture, students with exceptional grades will be chosen to work for the government.

Adam explained that the school was the one that proposed the family send another student since Seth wasn\'t capable. At first, they were surprised but later they realized that it might not be an act of compassion from the government. They come to know for sure exceptional students will be sent to the wilderness to study new plants.

The good thing was they will be government special properties due to their profession, as such they will be protected, unlike the other slaves.

Seth felt a fang of pain, he liked school but now his opportunity was given to others.

Adamina was doing great, she managed to find sponsors for her stories and now some have even turned to comics.

"Can you paint?" Adam asked.

"Yes!".

"There are some lesson videos from Emanuella, perhaps you can perfect your learning. She has opened a National Showroom Gallery where artists from all over the country send their art, be it painting, sculpture or others. She and her group appraise them and if successful, they will be displayed. If it was phenomenal, the person can even be contracted to make more.

I think you should join!" Adam suggested.

Seth smiled feeling useful again, beside his cabin consumed 40% of his sister\'s and parent\'s income for the last seven months.

"Can we go anonymous?" Seth asked.

"Why?" Adam asked puzzled.

"I will be creating magic. It will blow their mind to the point I might be hunted for that!" Seth said with confidence.

"Art is that good. I think you are overthinking it!" Adam didn\'t agree.

Seth looked around before he brought paper and pen, his hand moved haphazardly and pushed the paper to his father. The man stared at it for 30 minutes before his head began to ache and closed his eyes.

"You are enthralled for 30 minutes!" Seth said and his father looked at the clock, it felt like a few minutes.

"I used to wonder why art was so elevated in some advanced country that has advanced AI and machinery that can do anything. But later I learned why, the ability of humans to create is far above any computer AI. We seek and then digest knowledge plus our imagination creates wonders. That is our power and something AI can\'t do. It can only mimic.

AI doesn\'t understand data with no relevant or similar data but the human brain can and even improve!" Seth explained.

Seth didn\'t stop copying First Painting, especially when he got so many papers. And he had discerned the first secrets and came up with many conclusions.

"It was a human that looked at the sky, the coming of the sun, moon and stars, and their falling. After deductive reasoning, he concluded that the sun is bigger and we are revolving around it. Not only that, there might be countless others like us in the vast cosmos. It was his wild dream and imagination which turned out to be half true. AI can\'t do that.

People at the very top know this and they know to only stay sane in this chaotic world they need art that came directly from the Imagination of the human brain, if not, the humans will die out and AI will take over."

"You know a lot!" Adam was impressed. Seth sighed with a smile and he began to think.

"Don\'t do that. Relax and let us welcome you. We can\'t have you faint on us!" Adam said.

"I…" Seth was speechless, he almost forgot about his weak Constitution that mere deep thinking will exhaust him.

They talked for some time before Adam went for his shift. He was a receptionist in the biggest Restaurant in the neighbourhood.

What Seth wanted, was free time. He wore his suit and assumed a dignified posture before he walked out.

Sapphire has been collecting dust for untold months because her battery was low and Seth wasn\'t up to recharge her.

[Welcome back]

[I miss you]

"Me too. Let\'s go to Zi Country!" Seth commanded.

[....]

The way the command came there was no resistance and she drove back, the gate was open and they rolled out. He didn\'t notice his mother was hurrying back to see her son.

[You changed]

"Hehe, I found a way to bypass your denials. But don\'t worry I have been planning this!"

Sapphire was silent the whole journey as she also recharges herself. Zi Country bordered Ni Country to the east, and there was no need for long procedures similar to International Travel. Even those with no formal passport can get a normal certificate to travel between the two countries. Some affluent people even have dual citizenship.

*****

John Green was loitering outside the border office watching how his men and robots carry out their duties when he was alerted that a car with advanced AI was approaching and the Boarder System AI doesn\'t have the computing power to crack it. They also sent a message but there was no response.

"One of those cheeky high-class bastards. I\'m high class too, I work for the government." John Green commented but he still went to the parking space where a Sapphire coloured car parked and no one was coming out. He walked to meet them and if one looked closely John Green was limping.

This was why he was here, a functional human authority that oversaw the whole border. Because some High class abused their power when a normie met them.

John Green knocked on the glass of the car and stood straight with zero expression, he didn\'t want to give out way to be looked down.

The window slid down and the Border overseer saw an arrogant young man, his hand still on the wheel, the other was the one that touched a button that opened the glass window. He wore an azure suit and navy blue tie.

John Green\'s heart began to beat faster not because of the man that he saw but because of a cool breeze that slammed at his face when the window was opened. He felt his body energized and his aching back and knee stopped.

"Young man, show me your travelling papers or international passport or your Dual Nationality. If you don\'t have those, please come to the office and we will arrange them for you!" John Green was 47 years old and he had been in this job for decades climbing ladders till he reached his position, so he was very well experienced with most of these things.

Definitely, the car has some perfume with a pain relief effect, which was why his exhausted body felt invigorated.

Full of nobility, the young man pushed his hand out of the window with no words. John Green sighed, \'Cheeky brat!\'

He has a device that he can use to test the validity of documents, especially electronic ones. So he used his black cane to tap the young man\'s silver-lined bracelet.
