<This book is recommended because of your Body Arm, the Womb>

Seth read through them and the one that caught his eyes the most was the Nests. Because he was expecting l to become a tamer in the future and by then he will need it to capture a lot of beasts, even dragons.

However, the way he saw it, it would not be easy, it\'s the hardest to attain because the book might just guide him while he should be the one going around and gathering the material for the nest.

The second one that he loved greatly was telekinesis. He had dominated his Continent with great ease in the Hive Mind Game and he knew all the tricks needed to master the ability.

In his view, telekinesis was the greatest power one can hope for, with enough power output one can create a hurricane, cause an earthquake, create fire, and even teleportation if one was very good.

Seth was tempted to choose it but he didn\'t. The reason was simple, he would be putting a lot of load on his mind and that meant his actual brain would be working hard which means it would feed on his body and he would die faster. Since one mental output correlated to real-world brain power.

Star Gazer seemed the simplest and easiest for him. All he had to do was study it and be patient till he understood it. The idea of predicting the future was great to him but that wasn\'t the thing that appealed to him the most, rather predicting the weather. In the world, the weather was everything and also the fact he will never be lost. Who knows if it has some mystery behind it?

Which he didn\'t know it had.

Aura and Tremor Tremor were good but if he was going to choose, then Tremor Tremor would be good. It\'s for both utility and offence with enough mastery. And since it was listed here, his constitution wasn\'t a problem.

"I… would like for you to choose for me!" Seth said finally.

<For the Archive to choose for you the second time, you will have to pay 100 hundred experience points>

"Oh!" Seth was surprised by that. "Alright!" He agreed.

Then he found himself standing in the sand crater as if nothing happened. Still naked and when he moved his manhood dangled. Though he didn\'t know what was chosen for him.

"Congratulations. I didn\'t see what happened but being in a trance for 10 minutes means you have been to the archive!" The lion uttered. His mouth didn\'t move but his throat was the one that produced the sound.

"Yes! Thank you for the help!" Seth said and then he motioned for his hand and that made his Womb come out of his body. The Womb was now the size of his head and also glowed with a silver halo that served as protection to it.

"I have defeated you!" Seth said. The lion hybrid grimaced and tried to move his body.

"If you choose Nests, then you make everyone your enemy except when you choose a faction. Nest holders are one of the most hated occupations among us, Beast Supremacy and Dragons!"

He said a bit fearful of Seth and he eyed the womb with terror and indignation!

"You were dying already, this will save you!" Seth said as he made the womb float closer to the lion

"And then make the damn thing you got from that thing tarnish my reputation!" This time Roana Prada spat with anger. "Don\'t do it, human, my race will not view you kindly!"

"I will nurture someone who will uphold and surpass your legacy. Son of Roana Prada will echo in this land and beyond. I gave you my word!" Seth said with confidence.

"No, my name is mine. Do not associate it with anything!"

"You will be praised!" Seth said and he made the womb touch the lion. There was no commotion. The lion just disappeared and was sucked into the Womb.

Ding!

[You have fertilized the womb]

Seth dismissed the notification and looked around. So many things dispersed when his attire was destroyed. First Painting, Quill, Canvass, A shield, Water Container...etc. All the things he kept in his pocket were here.

Seth grabbed a bag and pushed everything that could be inside, then he walked toward the forest. He can still feel the pressure but it wasn\'t much. However, he could feel that whatever that lifted off the actual pressure was weakening, so he hurried to the forest and threw his stuff, then came back and grabbed the rest.

On his third round, he met with a bipedal rhinoceros with a human hand grabbing some of his water bottles, seeing Seth, it dug into the sand and ran with the water.

"The weirdness of these creatures defies all logic!"

He grabbed what remained and walked back but that was when all pressure descended and his body was immediately pushed to the ground and flattened.

Pop

[You have died]

Death in Asteroids Online automatically kicks you out of the game and then one has to wait for the next dive. The only exception was if the player had means of revival.

Seth opened his eyes and met Anna\'s owl eyes. "How was it!" She asked.

"Good. I attained my reward and then died under the pressure of the continent!"

"Why didn\'t you escape!"

Seth ignored her as he tried to crawl out. She helped him and he sat in a wheelchair.

Later that day a doctor came to help him walk around and exercise. That was to help him recover fast. The next day he dived again.

Seth opened his eyes and found himself in a room, on a soft bed. Wind blowing outside the window. He stood and came to peek out. He was two stories up in the house, it was daytime and the statues of the Fake Village were still where he kept them.

He was still naked though, so he grabbed the blanket off the bed.

[You can\'t remove an item you didn\'t manually provide]

"Okay," Seth was forced to walk down the stairs naked. The hall was large with some furniture, so Seth went to the Village Office and checked the book for more information about what happened.

"Good!"

Seth has read in the forum that those who have houses or land can recover some of their equipment when they lose it through the house or land. But those who don\'t have to go to the nearest Lord of the territory and pay in gold. This is especially true when it comes to attire. However, in a territory with no owner, then one loses them with no way of retrieval.

And if it was a PK then the killer will be the one to take the items you dropped.
