Temporal Pearls

Seth felt a new found zeal and said, "Create Art and Collection Hidden Gallery Organisation. We specialize in creating unique style paintings, Arts and depictions and also collections of dignified historical items, G-tech and unique aspects of the world…"

Seth's mind churned as he blurted a lot of random shit before he requested different types of Canvas, paintings and art instruments to him.

Seth then pushed away the bed and other things to the side before he waited for the instruments.

"I will make a mesmerizing art. How long will it take Coinavator to sell it in the World Gallery? And will that be enough for my organization name to be used!"

Seth was thinking if Coinavator were as good as they showed, in about a month or several months they will be able to push his art forward.

"Depending on the Art ''

This time it was the overseer that spoke.

"Arts are popular now among high ranking officials but it must be something of Grade Status. There is an organization that documents human endeavour, they dedicated their life in accumulating what the human mind can do without the aid of AI. If your art passes their scrutiny, your organization can be established in just an hour!"

Seth froze before he blurted out. "An hour?"

"Is that too long!" The deep voice of the overseer asked and Seth can sense a mockery in the tone.

The crippled took a deep breath before he smiled, at that moment the items had arrived.

His gaze fixed on them and he was already seeing the future.

He assembled them fast, he sat and concentrated, that smile that was filled with unshakable confidence broadened, before he began.

Seth entered into a new world, his mind erased everything around him and brought him to the moments he was going to be Immortalized.

He stood before it, feeling the warmth, the cold and also the light of the sunset.

The beating of waves, the chirping of birds and also the chatter of humans on the shore.

The blue sky, the clouds and the orange sun as it was about to set made the vision enchanting.

Seth snapped back to reality, his hands making the last stroke of his greatest painting ever. It was the combination of thread art skill, a bit of clay ceramic and also the usual High-grade oil paint. Experience new stories on empire

Seth closed his eyes and refused to look. He had lived in the painting, he didn't need to look at it, he may end up entering it again.

He followed the process of cooling and drying which was facilitated due to technology before he framed it and packaged it.

"I have finished!"

It took 3 hours and Seth was still feeling strength in his body.

The package was then taken.

[It will be scanned and sent to them. If they asked for it to be brought then we will]

The supreme AI said and Seth nodded.

He leaned back and waited. Four minutes later, there was a reply.

[They demanded a signatory of the painter]

"It's inside!" Seth said.

All artists have the habit of concealing a hidden signature within their creation. Of course there will be one for the common man but for true artists, the hidden one was important.

Seth has Art Hidden Gallery as the common signature but the hidden one was within.

[The painting has been sent. It will arrive there in 25 hours]

Seth has many things to do now to establish as much art as the opening of his Gallery. He demanded more materials and then followed the instructions of a standard organization and began stabilizing everything.

An hour later he felt weak. He has no choice but to stop.

Eat and request the ingredients of the concoction for body rejuvenation.

After that, he slept but only after he sent a message to his mother that he will be staying for a day. He claimed that it was a painting session that would change his life.

He was asleep when he heard a Ding!

He woke up and found a new package.

"Did they reject it?" Seth's heart skipped a bit. He didn't dare come close in fear of what he would see.

"Well, that's overconfident for you!" He said before he turned to the AI and asked, "Is there really no way for me to get my money!"

[Finished the contract and established the Hidden Gallery first. That will be the fastest way]

Hearing that, Seth opened the package and saw it was not his paintings but an old leather, with tears here and there.

There was also a letter attached. He opened and read.

"Greetings, Mr Illusory N'day."

Seeing that Seth smiled, they cracked the code. They are the real deal.

"We are amazed and still amazed by this art you made. Truly magnificent as it told the story of a sunset in the sea. The different elements you meshed together were quite unique but sometimes uncomfortable to assimilate."

Seth frowned, he didn't expect that to happen but then his mind switched and he began to see the problem.

"I'm a genius when it comes to that and I have mastered the colour scent and temperature assignment."

He continued reading, "We also realized that this painting was made in haste and in only 4 hours. You might have lost yourself in it and used the available materials around you."

"Holy God. They deduce that."

"However, the signatory gave us some problems to find. You really hid it well. We almost disqualified it but after finding it, we saw the story was fully presented. As I wrote this letter to you, I have found three layers of meanings within the art. Don't worry your secret is secure."

Seth's heart skipped a beat as he held his head. It just occurred to him that a person's mental conditions and even social conditions can be found within their art.

An artist converted the world through his own lenses and his lense will have an imprint of his true identity.

Seth immediately recalled the painting and he saw that he had converted himself completely. His weak physique, financial issues, mental breakdown due to Gawee Land and even his family issues.

This was the thing that when a true Grandmaster looked will find and the man said he found only three.

Seth began to hope he didn't find the rest.

"I would like to suggest to not get lost in your art, let the art get lost in you!"

Seth was now confused.

The last sentence was typed and not written by hand and it said, "Find my name!"

"A test!"

Seth took a deep breath before he pulled the old painting and checked.

From what Seth could infer, it was about 3 decade old and he wrote that down before he checked for the common Signature,

"Ancient Old! Seth read before he placed the painting on a platform before he began to consume it from inside out.

Thirty minutes later he saw it, "Oldest Gallery!"

Seth muttered.

[What did you say?] Sapphire asked.

"Oldest Gallery!"

[You are in trouble. That is an ancient organization that was established about 2 thousand years ago. It used to be a myth until now that they began to make some moves]

"How did you know that!" Seth frowned.

[If I'm not here protected by the supreme AI, I will have been automatically hacked and responded to what you said. Especially, the Ancient Old and this phrase you just said]

"How the fuck did just saying those words make that magic?" Seth was shocked

[Affirmative. Another supreme AI has tried getting access to your data just now]

Coinavator AI responded.

Seth's face blanched, as he froze. Why the hell will he be attracting the old monster to himself?

"No need to worry!" The overseer said. He was grinning ear to ear and already seeing potential benefits with this brat.

"Finished the assignment and sent it back!"

Seth nodded before he said, "I finished it." He composed a letter too, and Seth explained his finding too.

He did refuse to make a copy as he said it was within his virtue not to plagiarize someone's art with no reason.

Seth then packed everything and sent it back. He then wrote to his mother that he had won a trial and was likely to join a very old and influential Art organization.

Finishing with that he continued to make more art but this time he took his time. There was a lot to understand from the Oldest Gallery letter. Especially the advice that not to lose in the art but the art should be lost in him.

He was engrossed in that for an hour when a notification came.

[Congratulations]

[Art and Collection Hidden Gallery has been set]

[Your first Selling item, Exaggerated Sunset Scenery has been marked by Ancient Old Organisation.]

Seth smiled as he heard what the Supreme AI said.

He quickly dropped what he was doing and moved to the chair in front of the desktop and asked, "How will this Galley aid me in securing my money?"
