Temporal Pearls

The more he channeled his Aura, waving lines around the staff appeared, upon glance it looked like a canals and water passing around it.

Unlike before, Seth can feel as if he was filling something in with his Aura and making something new. The marks began to deepen until it was like carvings on the staff.

He sighed and let it float beside him, and began to check other things that needed upgrading.

Finding that everything was fine he went to his Mansion Table and sat on his Lord Chair before he pulled out the Red Signature Book and specifically checked it more.

[Red Signature Book]

~Category: Arf Item

~Special Grade: 1

~Special Attributes: Indestructible. Halo

~Use: Storage. Fusion&Fission. Skill Documentation.

[This book has limitless potential]

The book has some changes and he can feel it halo to a degree. He then went through the pages one by one.

The very first page contained designs that formed when the book was first made. The second and third pages were dragon blood slots and others.

The fourth, fifth and sixth page has a title and list of his skills and their rank.

Seth was surprised by the new development. The title was of his Pioneer Skills and the next page after was Acquired Skills that were empty.

This got him thinking that he can maybe copy skills from other sources. If he was lucky he may even steal some. Well, he can't steal anyone's skills because that will make his Lord Status rebel.

Seth leaned back as he observed the book, a new brand idea was coming to him. Doesn't need anywhere to get skills he can craft them himself. He can make both Pioneer and Acquire Skills.

There weren't more pages but Seth was having more thoughts. He does not know where the intuition was coming from but he felt like for Acquire Skill to be here there must be something in it. It can't be blank and exist.

"Red Manipulation should be here!"

The ability was given to him by someone for that reason it's not crafted by him to be a Pioneer. Having that thought Seth came to the conclusion that he can imbue the book with his Red Manipulation.

From the Pioneer Skill page there were the Skills in different order than they were crafted. However the first was Red Stream.

[Pioneer Skills]

Red Stream (F- Rank)

Silver Bowl (F+ Rank)

Lord Cushion (E- Rank)

Couronne (F Rank)

Safe House (F- Rank)

Pharaoh's Whip (E+ Rank)

Three Fold World (E+ Rank)

Beholder World

Coral Authority Domain (E- Rank)

Myriad Wheel Shield (F- Rank)

Bubble Guardian (E+ Rank)

___

Seth read them with focus and also using High Intelligence while also remembering all the time he had used them and then came to understand.

He had never used Beholder World before and thus it hasn't begun to rank up.

Seth now fully believed that F to A Ranks denote mastery over skills and abilities while Grading denoted quality.

Red Signature Book has Grade 1 quality but it's a very high quality because of the source it was made and by whose name it was made from.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If Seth wants to Grade it up to 2, then he must push the mastery of all the skills within up to perhaps S rank.

"Grading you will take forever!" Seth complained but with a smile.

He then pulled out another book before he thought and looked at the Red Book but decided to write in it.

Another thing he came to understand was that the Ranking isn't just straight up mastery like repeated use for it to Rank up from F- to E- but rather distinct.

The reason was Red Stream, he had used it in Dragon Burtali a lot and against the Medos but it was still (F-). It should have been higher but it wasn't.

The reasons were what he was writing now to take note of them.

1~(F Rank) Required full usage of the skill in different ways possible to Rank up.

2~(E Rank) Required full usage and some understanding of the different aspects of the skill to Rank up.

__

This was what he understood.

The skills that reached (E Ranks) are repeatedly used by Seth and also he gleaned something from them. For example, Seth had learned and understood the three layers of the three different strings of the skills and their ability.

He also saw and grasped their defensive method and various ways he can manipulate them. Not only that, he can detached a potion of it and attack and embedded elsewhere which can carry out instructions repeatedly until destroyed or accomplished it purpose before it dissipated.

Your journey continues with empire

During his fight with Navy Soldiers, he left a string in Zullu's body which even after he reversed time he wasn't able to remove it. Not only that, the string can make different actions that it did in the last timeline, making it unpredictable.

This understanding made the skill move from F To E+.

The same as Pharaoh's Whip. The skill has its own will and will defend him against attacks even without his control and also the tip of the whip can transform into hand and grab something dangerous for him.

As for those that stayed in (F Rank) because Seth hasn't used everything about them, like Red Stream and he understood nothing about them and didn't use them much like Safe House.

There were hypotheses about D and C Rank and he made them for future reference.

3~(D Rank) Require use of particularly different aspects of abilities to their limits potentially and discover more aspects.

4~(C Rank) Require full mastery and continuous use of one or more Aspects of the Skill to Rank up.

___

Seth stopped at that, from now he will test this hypothesis and see if they were correct before he guided himself forward.

He might have recovered but he didn't regain his Existence Might for that reason he will train until he gains it back. After he does that, he will then write the contract with the Dragons and get ready for the hunt.

Seth loved it when he did things one at a time. He can multitask but the way things are complex and need his attention he must refrain from that to avoid making errors.

Just now as he knew he would be focusing on the Red Book his mind worked high and he knew he would reach higher mastery with greater ease.

He walked out into an opening and the book floated before him. He needed to raise his Red Stream mastery and as far as he could see it would take time.

Red Stream Skill appeared to have 99,999 dots of solid light drifting on shallow water with a barrier that prevents careless touch and the background of the shallow water is reddish in colour.

Seth focused and his eyes were gloriously using Aura Sight, Identification and Observation at the same time as well as High Intelligence as he observed the skill page.

The 99,999 dots of light were the same under his scrutiny then he used his hand to touch a dot he had touched in Dragon Burtali. The dot had produced a red stream in vortex form.

A string of vortex came out and rotated on his finger tip. All he had to do was throw it or make it expand for full activation.

He dispersed it and sighed, in his focus in this silent environment he felt a little weight on him. If he activates it fully he will lose some Exertion Points.

Seth then began to go through each node unhurriedly. With a touch a thin string of red stream will follow him and it will dance on his index finger tip.

He opened his palm and the red stream danced on it. With great patience he went through about a hundred before he lost a single Exertion Point.

Seth snapped the book closed and the hidden weight on his shoulder vanished. He drank Soothing Water and poured it on his head.

He sat down and watched the forest around. Resting for ten minutes he stood and opened the book again. His Exertion Point have long recovered and he continued.

Sometimes he scrutinized 98 or 99 nods of light before he lost an Exertion Points but most of the time it's after he observed 105 to 114 nods of light that he lost an exterion point.

One day was not enough to go through them all but if his math was correct with resting of ten minutes and average of 105 dots of light scrutiny, he will spend 6 to 7 days on this alone.

Seth was prepared, the only thing that may halt his activity is return of his Existence Might or if Living Root wants to force him.

Beside Seth was a Record Book and he was using Chronicler Skill to take on everything he was observing.

Though his Aura Sight, Identification and other skills turn off sometimes but he doesn't wait for them to recover.

He continued until they recovered and he activated them again.

On the third day he got a prompt.

[Congratulations]

[Your Existence Might has improved]

"Finally" Seth sighed with a tired smile.
