บท 36: First Painting

First Painting!

*****

[The Womb was equipped with protection mechanisms according to the Dragon it was obtained from and also the type of Fetus in it.

To use the Womb one must have sufficient Mental Power to support it. The value shouldn't be below 100 points.

With Mental Power one can stimulate the activities of the Womb and raise the fetus inside]

[Note: The Womb is an external Womb that both male and female life forms can use to give birth to any worthy life form.

As this is a Dragon Womb, any unworthy life form will be destroyed, and the disrespected Womb will self-destruct]

[Note: this Apex Womb was obtained after an Old Female Dragon that was close to the end of her life span was killed. At the time the Mighty Being was ovulating her last successor]

[Note: It's of utmost importance to keep the Womb Dormant and full with Stimulation Force at all times.]

[Activation Of The Womb]

~Quiet Clean Place!

~Place Of Nature!

~Calmed Mind and Motherly Preparation!

~Clean Hand!

~Placing the Womb on one's Forehead!

~A Thought Of Activation!

[Note: Every Womb is different due to the Mother Dragon, Handling, and Stimulator]

[Note: Death is possible if one has less Mental Fortitude. The Womb will use the Brain and Mind of the Stimulator to serve as the Central Nervous System]

[Note: Players will have their brain damaged and become retarded in their World if they activate it without enough Mental Fortitude]

"Damn, that was a lot to take in!"

Seth looked at the white orb substance on his hand. It was translucent, soft to touch but by sight, it looked hard like glass.

"Okay, I will activate it!"

He first stored the womb away in his t-shirt inventory, then he arranged a mat under a tree. He used Soothing Gourd water to wash his hand before he sat on the mat. Then he tapped his t-shirt inventory and brought out the Womb. He followed the process and placed it on his forehead.

Zoommmm!

Seth felt dizzy for some time before he regained his bearings. Now the womb was floating in front of him with a halo beneath it that served to levitate it.

"That was not hard!"

Well, Seth knew it would be easy as long as it was a Mental Fortitude test. He considered himself to have the greatest Mental Fortitude among everyone he came across!

That was his Pride!

Even though that didn't make him a dead hard fearless. But the fact that he crashed an entire VR Game with Mental Force gave him that overwhelming confidence.

Yes, the accident that caused his Head Gear to catch fire was his doing.

_____

[The Womb]

Status: Dormant and Empty

Health: Normal

Capacity: 1 Fetus

Stimulation Force: Charging(1%)

[After 100% stage 1 will be unlocked]

[Activating the stages will give unexpected surprises]

[At 50% you can fertilize the womb with Young Dragon and nothing less]

[Note: You can deactivate the connection to Stimulation at any time]

[Note: It's better for it to be disconnected after the first 100%]

______

Seth can feel a minor connection with the floating Womb and when he moved the Womb followed him.

He felt a bit tired but nothing serious. So he drank from the Soothing Gourd and he immediately felt refreshed.

He had a lot to learn about the Womb, so he pushed it aside and brought the next item.

~First Painting

This is the first painting by an SSS+ Painter. She was one of, if not the Greatest Painter in the Asteroids Online.

She has made the painting using her Asteroid Artifact Avatar and the end result is a Stage 3 painting.

[Note: Only stage 2 and above artists can comprehend it]

"Even the game acknowledged her. As expected of my teacher and the Protagonist of our era when it comes to Art!" Seth took pride in being her student. Who wouldn't, only a fool!

"Damn! I'm really lucky to have met her in a dire situation, and also the fact I have something to offer her!" Seth was a true fanboy.

At first, he thought the Womb was the best thing he got but now he was thinking maybe it was the painting.

"Woohoo, I'm going to glance at SSS+ Paintings. Damn, I believe not even Manuella Sefu has this graceful moment!"

"I know she will kill to meet with My Master, Nanncy Abadden Aeren! Hahaha!"

Seth opened the 50cm long container and slid out the rolled painting. Though Seth helped Nanncy get her Artifact Avatar back, he didn't know what it was. And he didn't ask, that would be rude.

The Painting was heavy and he knew if he unrolled it, the length may reach up to 5m so he changed position and sat in a clean place. He gathered more leaves as a mat so that he won't dirty the Painting. With excitement, he rolled it… then his face froze!

"Is this... SSS+?" He questioned out loud with utter shock! Seth couldn't understand.

The Painting was blurry like someone just splashed and smeared colour everywhere without pattern or purpose, followed by using a brush, hands and feet to scrub the colour in an attempt to make a picture of a girl. A complete messy painting he ever laid his eyes on.

Seth knew for sure even a 2 years old toddler could do better.

A woman with black tanned skin, black eyes and black hair and an oval face stood at the bank of the river. She wore an Azure colour uniform that has armour on her arms, leg and chest.

She was gazing at the horizon while a ship was busy unloading crates of fish. She looked thoughtful and uneasy with a frown.

Nancy frowned "Those bastards are calling me already?"

She was about to cancel the Alert but she thought otherwise. And the moment she checked the content of the Alert, her face brightened!

"Hello, Seth!" She happily said!
