Exo Seeker: The Strongest Human Woke Up In The Future!

"So how do I use it?" Kael asked.

"You can just crush it with one hand and inhale it," Trey explained.

The two of them were standing in front of the entrance to the Level Up Center. Other Primers stood around just like them—either waiting for something or just hanging out.

"I see," Kael nodded as he glanced at the black box in his hands.

"So what are you going to do now?" Trey asked.

"Do your own thing," Kael said as he began walking. "I need to do some investigation and get more Growth Orbs."

"Investigation? I can help you with that! And we can get Growth Orbs together!" Trey said, his eyes shining with expectation.

Although the man before him was definitely a lunatic, Trey knew how well Kael fought—especially his survival skills and the knowledge he had that even Trey didn't understand.

As a Primer, following someone strong was common. That's why most Primer groups needed a strong leader—someone with the power and knowledge to lead them.

Kael was such a person. Trey could almost see it—if only the lunatic weren't a lunatic.

Furthermore, beyond being a good fighter, Kael's engineering skills were top-notch—nothing like anything Trey had seen so far.

So with a man possessing this many talents, Trey wanted to learn a thing or two—especially the engineering part. He had so many unfinished projects due to either lack of ability, funds, or time.

"No need," Kael said. But just as he was about to turn a corner, he stopped and stared at Trey. "Actually, I need some information."

"What information?" Trey asked.

"A portal for Primers to see the Fissures in the city. Tell me the site," Kael said.

Hearing this, Trey blinked in confusion—then remembered Kael was a new Primer who didn't seem to know anything about being one.

But… that couldn't be right. This man was great at martial arts and also had insane engineering skills—he had even increased the success rate of the first version of the Level Up Pod. How could someone like that be clueless when it came to being a Primer? He didn't even know where to check for Fissure locations?

This doubt remained in Trey's heart. Kael was a man full of mystery. A mystery that might attract women—but Trey was more interested in the knowledge.

"The Status Band has that feature, but you need a monthly subscription to unlock it," Trey said with a sigh. "If you've got the money, you can buy it. But if you want it for free, just use the Uni-Net and search for FissuresHub."

The Uni-Net was the internet of this planet, connecting all devices into one cyberspace.

A hundred years ago, before the Anthi-Orgs won the war, the Uni-Net didn't just connect this planet—it linked others too. Basically, the whole universe used the Uni-Net to communicate.

However, after the Anthi-Orgs won, some planets cut themselves off from the rest to avoid being detected—because being found meant destruction.One of those planets was Taros. Though they no longer connected with other planets, the Uni-Net was still usable, just limited to their own world.

"FissuresHub? Sounds like a P*rn site," Kael said, recalling the popular website from his home planet.

"You mean P**hub*?" Trey asked with a chuckle.

Kael raised an eyebrow. "That thing's still alive?"

"Oh, it'll never die," Trey grinned. "It's one of those immortal sites that spread across the universe after the Anthi-Orgs won. They basically used it as bait to detect planets hidden from their radar. Pretty clever, right?"

Kael felt a wave of nostalgia knowing that the legendary website that kept his youth interesting was still alive—and known across the universe.

Earth should be proud, he thought, a small smile forming on his face—though it quickly faded as his expression turned serious.

So the Anthi-Orgs even resort to such methods to draw out more planets, huh? They really know no bounds. But... it was a genius strategy.

"They have the Uni-Net. They probably send it out just to make fun of everyone. If this planet connects with other planets—no matter what website is used—we're done," Trey said, letting out a deep sigh.

"Alright then," Kael nodded before he started walking again.

"W-wait! About our deal!" Trey caught up. "Our deal. Can I use it now?"

Kael stopped, glancing at the young man with a raised eyebrow. He didn't expect Trey to cash in on their deal so soon. "What is it?"

"Well…" Trey scratched his cheek in embarrassment. He had already thought through what he wanted to learn from Kael.

He'd been waiting for this opportunity ever since he learned that Kael was also an engineer with exceptional skills.

As a Primer and an engineer, he had to choose one. Learn how to fight better? Or learn more about becoming an advanced engineer? Trey closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his mouth—his decision already made.

"I want to learn how you did it," Trey said, face so serious he looked like he was about to turn into stone.

"Did what?" Kael asked. He was already planning to teach Trey from time to time, so the young man could keep up as his subordinate. It would be hard if Kael was soaring through the skies while Trey was still crawling on the ground.

"To seduce a woman!" Trey said, his face turning red like a tomato.

When Kael heard this, he couldn't believe his ears. "You want to learn what?" he asked again, just to make sure.

"To seduce… a woman!" Trey repeated, this time with more determination.

"I'm Kael Draven, one of the Exo-Primevals. I hold knowledge and martial techniques that could start wars between planets—and you're asking me how to seduce a woman?" Kael's face turned grave. He felt offended.

"Oh come on, who would believe that you're one of those legends?" Trey said, then shook his head and begged the White Prime. "Please! I really want to get laid! After I saw what you did—fck engineering! Fck being a Primer! I want women! Teach me!"

As Trey clung to his arm and tugged it back and forth like a whiny child, Kael's expression darkened. "You're wasting such a huge opportunity. Are you really sure about this decision?"

Kael would've even taught Trey the Drakorite Techniques if he'd asked. But Trey remained firm.

"Yes! I'm sure!" Trey nodded vigorously, eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"I see. Then back off," Kael said, pushing the young man, who hurriedly stabilized himself. "I'll teach you how I seduced that woman—Anna."

Trey's ears perked up. "How? It's about the horse, right?"

"Yes," Kael nodded. "If you want a woman, you need her attention fixed on you, and only you. How do you do that? Make her curious. Curious about you, or something related to you. In my case, I used storytelling."

"The man riding the mechanical horse," Trey said. It took him a moment, but he realized what had happened between Kael and that receptionist. He just hadn't known how.

"Yes," Kael nodded, a smile creeping onto his face. "You have to sell a story. A story that hooks the listener—and in that case, it was Anna, my target audience. She became curious. She wanted more. But her professionalism, and the desk between us, kept her from making a move."

"And the next step is?" Trey asked, leaning in as if he didn't want to miss a single word.

"To make her even more curious. She already wanted to know more about the horse. Then I said something directly to her face—something about how she looked, her expression. That made her want to know exactly what I meant."

"So you gave her the answer?"

"Not yet," Kael shook his head. "I didn't give her curiosity the relief it wanted. I refused—and I backed off. But not without leaving a window for her to sneak through. I placed food in front of her hungry mind, and fortunately, she took it. You already know what happened after that."

Trey was stunned at first, his mind processing the information. "W-Wow! You really did that?"

"Yes," Kael nodded.

"I didn't know you could pick up a girl that way," Trey said, eyes already sparkling. He couldn't wait to try it himself.

"Why don't you try it out?" Kael smiled, also curious to see if it would actually work for someone else. This was his first time passing on one of his methods for seducing a woman, so he was interested to see if it could be replicated.

"But… I don't have any interesting story yet," Trey said.

"You can use my horse story. Add your own twist if you like—just make it interesting," Kael advised.

"Then I will!" Trey declared, then began scanning the area for a woman to try it on. His eyes landed on a blonde woman about his height, walking toward the Level-Up Center and just about to take the stairs. "That girl! I'll try it on her. Wait for me!"

"Go," Kael nodded.

Trey took a deep breath to calm his nerves. Then he walked toward the blonde woman, replaying and revising the horse story in his head. He believed in Kael, and the more he thought about the advice, the more confident his steps became.

"Hello," Trey said, his voice soft as a feather, but clear enough to reach her ears.

"Oh… hi," the woman replied, slightly startled but smiling warmly.

"I just wanted to share something—and you're beautiful enough to hear it. It's a funny story," Trey said, flashing a smile. The sun caught his teeth at just the right angle. He tried his best to look and sound cool, and it seemed to be working—the blonde smiled even more.

"What is it?" she asked.

"So I saw this man just a few minutes ago—he was riding a mechanical horse, and all its parts were flying everywhere. With every step, a metal piece fell off, until the horse looked like…"Trey began his story, laughing here and there to keep it light and entertaining.

The blonde woman listened patiently, but her expression stayed the same. The smile didn't shift, like she was politely humoring him. Then, she suddenly pointed behind him. "So you mean that man riding the mechanical horse?"

"Haha, don't joke around. That guy already left. So—what do you say? Curious?" Trey asked, stepping a bit closer to make sure she caught a whiff of his cologne. "Why don't we head to a café? I'll tell you the rest of the story there."

"No seriously… that's the horse you're talking about, right?" the blonde said, her eyes widening.

"Lady, don't fool me. Haha." Trey laughed. "I see, you already know this is a made-up story. Your face says it all… curious?"

The blonde didn't respond. She simply walked past him in a hurry.

"W-wait!" Trey called out, turning around—but what he saw made his eyes widen. "What the… f*ck?!"

There, walking down the street, was a man riding an actual mechanical horse. Curious people had gathered around it, laughing and pointing as the strange machine trotted away.

"H-how… I thought this was just a made-up story! How come it's real?!" Trey looked around for Kael but found him already gone. "D*mnit!"
