Temporal Pearls

Chapter 33: New Dilemma



One may wonder why Class Ranking was still maintained after all the developmt.

The truth was for a small perctage of people to keep control of the world. However, if you ask every high-class citiz and politician, they will tell you to—Maintain Order!

Earth has undergone two peaks in just cturies.

Zero Technology And

Rapid Advance Technology.

Robots have replaced human workers in Industries. Security Drones have replaced most Policem. Drone Tanks and Super Robots have replaced soldiers.

There were also assistance AIs of various types. Secretary AI, Cashier AI, and ev Girlfrid or Boyfrid AI.

In Class A and B regions, you can find numerous Automated Houses—that was a house that was managed fully by AI and advanced technology. The only thing the household do was just eat, shit, have sex and sleep!

Therefore, in all aspects of human life, there is a technology that can do better with less maintance. These brought about massive unemploymt.

Education was a little easier at certain levels but they did make sure that Universities were still a bit special due to new knowledge being discovered.

For that, Class E and D can\'t have access to university without a Class B referral. That was to reduce the inflow of people to higher classes. With university knowledge, one can have a chance to break the barrier to B or A classes.

The Classes make sure people are limited based on their class. That means some services and positions can not be obtained by the lower class.

Though there were organizations that worked to demolish the system, they were not putting ough!

Seth has a good tour, they visited Parks, Art Galleries, Gards, and many more.

On short notice, Anna did not have time to book Presidt Gard Tok, they might have visited the Presidt\'s Gard. The best Gard in the Capital!

Wh Seth was back, he was full of ideas and he had realized he was really a frog in the well. And he was already feeling himself improving.

Upon their return, they met with Raaz waiting for them. He was there to check Seth\'s conditions and see if he was ready to dive again.

But the siblings, Seth and Anna realized their mother was in a foul mood. It turned out she had ducked it up with Raaz.

He insisted that Seth dive back to the game while she swore otherwise. In the d, he pulled something, saying Seth was an adult and he can choose for himself.

And now they are waiting for Seth to make decisions. Seth, his father, mother, Anna, Sam and Raaz with his partner sat facing each other.

Raaz took his time to talk about the game befits and also about inctives if Seth agreed!

"Can I speak?" Seth asked.

They nodded.

"Well, I am eighte and can make decisions for myself… but I still support my mom\'s decision. I\'m still a kid after all!"

"You see…" Raaz tried hard to convince him but Seth just didn\'t budge.

Seth\'s family was united, you can\'t find the kids opposing the parts oply, especially in this chaotic and strict society.

It has happed a lot, a child wanted to escape their part\'s influce by following someone big, but by the time that person dumps them, they will find themselves in a cruel world where they will be treated as objects and slaves!

Raaz and his partner left unsuccessfully. Th they came back the next morning with an invitation for Sarah, Seth\'s Mother to the Governor\'s Office.

***

One week later!

Seth\'s Workshop was almost complete. What remained was some special plant he wanted to raise.

Apart from that, he had mastered G- Painting without diving into G or G+. That means he had grasped some of the true differces betwe them.

Anna also was in the process of starting the Art Gallery. She has assembled a team that will customize and print posters for the upcoming election.

Sam still didn\'t support the idea fully but he didn\'t have an alternative.

"With this additional device, each of you can be manually ejected from the Cabin but, we still advise against that." The Game official explained.

After Sarah was called to the Governor\'s Office, she was asked to let Seth continue gaming. But, she still refused until she was guaranteed that something like that incidt would not happ again.

That was why game gineers were invited to make adjustmts to the cabins.

"Finally, after sev odious forging days, I\'m finally a Blacksmith!" Adamina cheers.

She had managed to finish her Quest in time and she attained Blacksmith as a skill. However, becoming a Blacksmith was harder and you can only be considered to be Blacksmith after you have it as a Talt!

To achieve that, one has to have a single item that he can forge with a % chance of success!

After admiring her last product, Adamina brought all the Uncommon Pickaxes she made and assembled them in the shop.

She took the Trash and the Common Grade to the Broker. The momt he saw her, he began smiling and he took them all before he gave her three silver coins.

"I will be oping my shop tomorrow! Do you have any advice"

"Isn\'t that too soon? Anyway, I should have priority in buying your Trash Grade!" He said.

"Okay, the blueprint of that Portable Workshop, I want it!"

"Ahh, that is too expsive. I know you are good, take your time on other smaller things and I guarantee, you will be a priority too!" He said

Adamina nodded and left.

The momt she left, the man took the Trash Grade and ran to his Workshop. "That girl is too gre. This is not Trash but Common. If she knew she can fix them with a little trick she won\'t have sold them as Trash"

"The momt you feel something is off, log out!"  Sarah consisttly nagged Seth as she watched him ter the game cabin.

"Okay, Mom!"

Seth lay in the cabin and closed his eyes as the cabin slid closed. And th he oped his eyes and found him lying on a mattress inside a small room made of logs.

He sat and grabbed his Staff that appeared with him. Seth stood and walked to the door and pushed it op….!

"You gotta be kidding me!" Seth blurted out in shock. He was in the middle of a wilderness.

He walked out of the small room which was a cottage and…

Ding!

[Vulcan Town has be relocated to its previous location]

[You are left behind]

"What the fuck happed!?!"

Seth gazed at the empty field that was once filled with houses and roads.

From the bird\'s view, Seth and his cottage were the only things in the middle of a large field that once harboured the town. The territory was tiny compared to the kilometres wide forest that sured it.
