Nanncy has a complicated expression. She alternated her eyes from Seth and her Window Quest.
Wondering, why will this nobody bring so many good things by just helping him learn Painting? Maybe he was someone powerful in the real world. She needs to do a background check on him!
"My name is Nanncy Aeren. If you want to be a good Artist you will have to obey every word I say."
Seth stared at her in confusion 'every word?'
"I mean when we are talking about Art. In that case, I want you to forget everything you knew about Art and start afresh with me"
"I agree, Master."
Then she got curious and asked, "Why did the Game call you The Cripple? You look fine to me. Or is that your full name?"
"Nope, without the Saff I can't walk normally. Except if I take Madam Mud Invigoration Mud" Seth answered honestly.
There was sympathy on her face before she said with surprise, "Are you that old hag experimental subject?"
"Nope, it was a done deal!" Seth lied. Madam Mud did tell him she wanted to preserve her reputation.
"Hmm!" She did not believe Seth one bit.
That night Nanncy made Seth spend his entire earnings of ten Silver just to procure Painting, Drawing and Calligraphy materials. Seth was shocked to find out the small village has a lot of things like that.
"Art is all about giving imagination a meaning. And with a bit of touch, you can make a child squabble into a masterpiece. The first knowledge is how to prepare your materials. You need to know all of them by name and compassion." And then the lesson began.
Thirty-minute later

Seth smiled after thirty minutes but he was exhausted.
Ding
_______
+10 EXP
Level: 4 (10/20)
Dexterity: 02>03
______
Seth smiled again.
He still has not cracked the Game status and level-up pattern. But he was always welcome if one of his attributes increased.
"Did you level up?" Nanncy asked, seeing his exhausted face beamed!
"Yep, I'm level four"
"What? Level 4. How many levels did you get just now?"
"One!"
"That's impossible. How many EXP did you need to level up? And what about Attribute Points?"
Seth thought long and contemplated if he should tell. In the end, he told her his EXP requirements and no Attributes Points.
Nancy nodded in realization.
"I read in the Game forum that everyone's status window is a bit different. With a weak constitution, you can't do physical activities like us. But by doing other things you can level up with ease." She reasoned and then added.
"Since you don't have Attribute Points your Attributes increase passively. Maybe that was the reason I got a Quest to help you!"
Seth too understood something and also realized one of his solace in the Game was to Master these Arts. As of now, he was not an active fighter but one that was sitting dock but he still considered himself a deadly force.
Seth continued drawing Nanncy in different postures by using the techniques she taught him and he was getting experience points every thirty minutes, yet his drawing skill had not shifted.
He called his status
_______
Level: 5 (10/30)
[Skills]
~Drawing Picture
_____
Then he decided to test something out! "Hmm, send 10 EXP to Drawing Picture"
Ding!
______
Level: 5 (00/30)
[Skills]
~Drawing Picture (Level 1/10)
______
"Haha, that's how it was. Send another 10 EXP to Drawing Pictures.
Ding
______
Level: 4 (10/30)
[Skills]
~Drawing Picture (Level 2/10)
___
Seth understood the drawbacks. Now he needs 30 EXP to go back to level 5. While before it was only 20.
If he can remember correctly. 10 EXP to become Level 10.
10 EXP to become Level 1
20 EXP to become Level 2
20 EXP to become Level 3
20 EXP to become Level 4
20 EXP to become Level 5
But to move to level 6 he needs 30 EXP. But after he used EXP to top up the skill, the 30 EXP was still required to move up to level 5.
"I guess I need to stay at a low level and level my skills." Seth pondered. Then he looked at Nanncy as she seemed engrossed in making a lesson plan.
"What other skill do you have?" She asked. "Only this one." He answered.
She nodded and thought about making Seth learn various Art. That will raise his level and also give her more EXP when she finished the Quest.
She has three days to complete it but she did not know whether it was starting from today. With that question she checked. Thankfully it was reading in hours.

"It has been four hours. Seth, it's time I log out. Make sure you practice even in real life." With that she went to a hotel she rented, lay on the bed and logged out.
Seth too went to the Madam Mud Clinic guest room and logged out. It was advised to always log out before the end of the day in the Game.
Because the moment the time for players to log out reached, the world froze. That means all the NPC, beast, animals and also the wind stopped. In fact all kinds of motion freeze
Woosh!
But after the freeze, something moved fast among the people. It was blurry and its destination was unknown.
*****
A snow-coloured VR Cabin slid open and the inside featured a beautiful young woman lying inside.
Her eyes opened as she frowned. Where is her Butler? She should be here to watch over her until she comes out! But remembering the tension that was brewing up, she tried to be optimistic.
The young woman was 27, but her face and body featured someone at the age of eighteen.
She climbed out gracefully! A man with a weak mind will have bled his nose! Even women may not fare better!
As she was out, she saw a silhouette by the door and a sigh almost escaped her mouth but she held it, not to show weakness!
Young and foolish, she was. Talented and beautiful as she climbed the world's social ladder by herself making various decisions that made her life better, becoming a Matriarch of something great due to her effort.
Sadly, those that she considered close friends have been building bridges made up of cotton and she stupidly walked on them.
Now she was falling, she wanted to hold on, but she didn't want to be constricted again.
The room was snow-white everything in it was snow-white, glittering with crystals.
White Pearls and Diamonds were common. But rarer Gemstones will be seen in a few places that adorn the chamber.
Nanncy Aeren stared at the Garden. It was made of beautiful flowers and shrubs of different coloured and varieties.
"Have you obtained it?" The silhouette, Nanncy noticed, asked. His tone held no respect whatsoever. A friend she once had, now a person who wanted to reap benefits and filled his pocket from her slow downfall.
She ignored him as she pressed a button. A minute later a middle-aged woman came inside.
"Bring me my lesson template, please!" Nanncy did not ask her why she was not there when she came out of VR for a reason.
She doesn't want to entertain the fact that her butler, Sue, was also abandoning her. As of now, she will just think that it was the rude guy that made her leave the room.
"You can't possibly start any Lesson. That consumes time. You should focus more on Asteroids Online and retrieve our National Treasure." The rude guy spoke again.
Nanncy ignored him. At one point she wanted everything to collapse! At the same time, she didn't!
Nanncy Aeren's story was filled with twists and turns; she once made a lie to their guest when she was just eighteen.
As her family were filthy rich and she was raised as a spoiled brat. One day they received important guests and she was tasked with showing them around the house and explaining the ancient Paintings!
Her family has a long history that dated before the Asteroid Disaster came. They were survivors and also contributed a lot to the betterment of their community and when things started to become normal, they were among the few that shot through the roof and established themselves!
While she was explaining the Ancient Pictures to the guests, to hype herself up, she slipped up and said she can make an exact copy of them. And only professionals could find fault with the copy.
Not only that, she insinuated that she was a great Artist but it was just that she was lazy and had better things to do.
The thing was, the Paintings were saluted a lot and she wanted to associate them with her. Unbeknownst to her, the people were her father's rivals, they knew everything about her and her capability.
The next day, she received a letter inviting her to a Painting competition and the piece to be copied was one of her family's Paintings.
Her father took that as a way to humiliate him. Since there was a video they secretly took while Nanncy was boasting herself. Using her they will get back to him.
"If you did not win that competition, I would disown you!" That's what he said to her.
