BXBX NOVEL Chapter 100: Improve Bracelet
"It is a miracle he was still alive. As far as normal, kids like him from fetus to delivery were given special care. You know it's a piece of cake for the doctors to determine the fetus ' condition in the womb. So, they take care of them in a special way, even after birth, from feeding to the way they were taught till they grow was in careful condition.
All the while making sure the brain doesn't feed on the body!"
"Even with that though, most of them die. And their death was always sudden, without a cause or symptoms. Mostly, scientists claimed that the soul escaped, for those that believe in that. And those that didn't, they just claimed that the brain was overloaded and just shut down but failed to wake up again"
"You mean…!" Anna dreaded asking the hard question.
"Yes. It's very very dangerous for them to faint because they may never wake up! But this brat kept jumping back!" Raaz said with a smile.
Anna wasn't convinced and stared at Seth's Stress level, the moment it approached a high level she said.
"Okay. That's enough!"
"I can still go on!"
"No. It's enough. Come down. Okay!" She pleaded.
Raaz nodded at her action. He was informing her all this to make her vigilant of Seth's condition and also dissuade Seth if he wanted to push himself beyond acceptable normal.
"Uncle Raaz, can I request something?"
"What?"
Seth explained to him the assignment Lady Manuella gave him and then asked if he could fetch the black box for him. Since he was here and under heavy nutrition, he should have had free time to study the colour balls.
"No. Last time, you smelled one of them and you fainted. Until doctors say you are good enough, you will stay far away from those things!" Raaz said.
"You fainted. Why didn't I know about it?" Anna flared and Seth began to stammer as he explained what happened.

Sling!
Seth walked out of the mansion with his wood sculpture tools and began to work l. With his 50 Exertion Points, he pushed himself to do more work until he achieved a Milestone in 2 hours and was awarded Village Points.
After that, he began to arrange large stones to indicate the general road of the whole village. Finishing that earned him another Village 10 Points.
Stay with m _v _l _e _mp _y _r.
He went to the forest and got many seedlings of flowers and trees, then he transplanted them in some specific places around the village. That was another milestone which also granted him 10 Village Points.
Seth was out of ideas, then he went back to the mansion slumped on the couch and checked the reward.

______
"Clear Crystal!"
A somewhat transparent stone appeared on Seth's hand. Just holding it, Seth felt his heartbeat strong and his eyes heavy. His weight also increased, and the effect of floating was off.
[First Might Activated]
[Body Nurturing….!]
Under Seth's eyes, he saw the hard transparent stone dimming down and crack happening around it.
[Body Nurtured]
When the stones had become pale white and some dust was fragmenting from them, everything stopped.
Then the stone disappeared back to Seth's body.
[Clear Crystal Damaged]
[Upgrade it to recovered]
"Well!" Seth sighed. First Might was always a good thing that was why he kept it in his hand even after he felt the urge to let it escape.
Seth observed his body and found there were some faint tattoos forming. His Floating traits also returned to normal.
Seth didn't dwell on that as he checked the next reward.
[Tears Of The Fallen]
[Description: They descended from the sky, through the asteroids, they brought death and calamity, to the races and the world. Tears of the fallen weren't in vane]
[A great accessory that needs to be discovered]
____
"Is that it?" Seth asked. No one is there to answer him.
"Tears Of The Fallen!" Suddenly there was a snipping of a crying child, and then drops of water coalesced and became a ring that then transformed into a necklace.
It was made of a silver chain and a round concave coin that had four drops of tears in the glass. Seth touched it and tried to see if there was any more explanation but he found something.
Behind the concave coin was some writing that he couldn't read. And it looked as if it was made in a hurry.
As he observed the necklace well, he found that it was not new. Some places had some scratches and also some rust in the chain part of the necklace.
Seth was going to wear it but then he stopped and then just left it disappeared. What if it has a hidden enchantment that may not be suitable for him? Besides, he doesn't want anything wrapped around his neck as of now.
"That was all! Damn. That is a lot." Seth closed his eyes to take a nap when he remembered the last one.
"Stone Heart!"

____
"So that's why my attributes rise!"
"Aura Sight!"
The improved sight was still there. And for that, Seth went out hunting for more colour to feast his eyes. After that, for the remaining time, he kept trying to invent new ways to improve the village and even forgot to faint. He was about to log off when a notification rang.
[Fertilization Successful]
[Seth Enoch, Congratulations]
[You are pregnant]
Seth's body then began to change but before anything happened he wished for the womb to be out of his body.
A silver egg-shaped sphere appeared before him floating. Using Aura Sight he noticed the inside was multicoloured in a confused way.
Leaving the Womb floating around, Seth went back to the mansion and sat.
Log out!
Seth came out with a lingering smile on his face. "You look happy!" Anna said.
"Yeah, I'm pregnant!" Seth said with a sigh.
Silence
(•-•)

He looked up and met with the eyes of three people gaping at him. "What do you mean!?" The doctor asked.
It was known that Asteroid Online took an exact copy of the player from their real body and he was clearly a man.
"Well!" Seth's eyes furrowed as he remembered the dreaded feeling he had when the womb was said to be fertilized. His body started changing into a woman's. If he hadn't brought the womb out he couldn't have imagined what would happen.
"Never mind!" He said.
To Seth's surprise and delight, he saw Lady Manuella's Black box that had a Colored ball.
"Thank you, Uncle Raaz!" Seth said excitedly.
"When did you start calling me Uncle!" Raaz asked with annoyance.
"When you changed the function of my Bracelets!" Seth said as he opened the box. It was still the way he left it.
"Lucky brat!" Seth heard Anna whisper and he chuckled, "Hehe,"
The first bracelet put on him marked him a Suspicious and Unwanted Guest in the Class A Streets. And by law, it can't be removed by anyone until he was no longer going to Class A.
However, it can be changed. Raaz took Seth to the Capital Magistrate and made the bracket altered to Mark Seth as his subordinate and part of his group. It was an honour and also came with privilege because the person with the bracelet would be perceived as the Vassal of Raaz. Instead of black, the bracket now has a silver line that runs around them.
When they were leaving for the Hospital To Jupiter's Moon, the Bracelet was further improved and their rank increased. They were now akin to a passport. And Raaz is his international Referral.
Raaz wasn't optimistic about it but he had no choice but to do that. He feared that if his superiors began to look into Seth's background trying to see why he was supporting the kid, they would surely begin to suspect him.
The only reason he wasn't worried much was that he had a reason to give out and slow down any suspicions that may arise.
After the routine exercise, Seth sat on the bed and held the box. He opened it and touched the white ball. The scent permeated his nostrils for a moment and he went into euphoria.
His mind went full-time as it unearthed all things related to the colour white he had come across.
