Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Caleb woke up the next day. He stared around and saw Rozho, Kidd, and the others huddled in the wooden wall. He looked at Kazuto, who was breathing through his mouth while sleeping with bliss.

'Mouth-breather? It's already over for you...'

He couldn't understand why some people breathe through their mouths. Don't they struggle with that? As a nose-breather his entire life. No hundred lives... He couldn't just understand it. However, science says that some are just born breathing through the mouth.

Why does he give a fuck if people breathe through their mouths though? He was just naturally curious. And he knew that breathing through the mouth has some negative effects.

Breathing through the mouth, also known as mouth-breathing, can have several negative effects on both health and facial structure.

First of all, Reduced Filtration and Humidification. The nose plays a crucial role in filtering and humidifying the air we breathe. Nose hairs and mucus help trap and filter out dust, allergens, and harmful microorganisms. Breathing through the mouth bypasses this natural filtration system, potentially exposing the respiratory system to more irritants.

Second, Mouth-breathing may increase the risk of respiratory infections. The nose produces nitric oxide, which has antimicrobial properties. Mouth breathing bypasses this protective mechanism, potentially making individuals more susceptible to respiratory illnesses.

Third, breathing through the mouth can lead to a dry mouth, reducing saliva production. Saliva is crucial for maintaining oral health, and reduced saliva can contribute to dental problems such as cavities and gum disease.

And lastly, Mouth-breathing during sleep can contribute to snoring and sleep apnea. Nasal breathing helps regulate airflow, and the absence of this regulation during mouth-breathing may disrupt normal sleep patterns.

That is just its effects on general health. What's really frightening was its damn effect on one's looks or appearance!

He had read in the past that prolonged mouth-breathing in children may be associated with changes in facial and dental development. The "long face syndrome" is a term sometimes used to describe alterations in facial structure, such as a narrow upper jaw and crowded teeth. However, the causal relationship between mouth-breathing and these changes is debated among professionals. Not only that, chronic mouth-breathing may contribute to postural changes, affecting head and neck alignment. This can lead to a forward head posture, which may have secondary effects on the musculoskeletal system. This is also the reason that 'mewing' gradually became a trend. Mewing is just a proper tongue position. It's the tongue resting on the roof of the mouth and breathing through the nose. Prolonged mewing was said to contribute to a desirable face shape.

In the end, he had only watched it from looksmaxxing TikTok in his first life. He didn't know if those were true or just pure BS.

'Well, it's time for my promotion to 8th Seat.' Caleb stood up quietly. He already ascended to Tier 8, but he still needs to go through formalities and paperwork to officially become promoted to 8th Seat Scout Officer!

After all, the higher his status or position within the organization, the more resources, privileges, and benefits would fall on his lap!

...

"I want to become an Eight Seat Officer. What do I need to do?" Caleb said with irkedness apparent in his voice.

The bastard David made him wait for damn sixty minutes already! He decided to arrive early in the morning for him to only an hour.

"Oh... Are you still here? My bad, I got too immersed."

David raised his head and gave Johan an apologetic look. He really hasn't noticed the time! He looked at the mountain of documents on his table depressedly. Damned paper works!

Seeing the dark circles and puffy eyebags of the other party. Caleb could only sigh and feel a little bit of sympathy. David's eyes were all too familiar to him... The dread that comes from the monstrous paperwork works are really enough to stress any grown man!

Yes, being in a high position also comes with disadvantages. The most dreaded of them all was the damned paperwork! Of course, it's not without countermeasures. The almighty-proven solution that was passed from CEOs to CEOs of big companies from Earth was to hire a professional sexy, curvy secretary! *Coughed!*

Well, isn't it more pleasant to see a beautiful woman organizing your paper in an office donned in a black professional formal suit? Where's the happiness of hiring a man as a secretary? That's too wasteful...

David straightened his back. As he did so, he felt more comfortable. Although as a Destiny, stiffness from awkward posture for long hours doesn't affect him that much. He still felt relief from the release of accumulated tension. He looked at Johan for a moment:

"Well, it's really time for that. You've ascended to Tier 8 under my own eyes, so I thought you would unwind for a little and let your realm stabilize. But it was just yesterday and you're applying already for a promotion?" David paused for a while and raised his eyebrows. "Do you understand what it takes to become an 8th Seat? Do you know the second requirement?"

Caleb simply stared at David instead of asking.

David leaned back in his chair, intertwining his fingers and giving Caleb a scrutinizing look. "Becoming an 8th Seat is more than just ascending to Tier 8. You need to fulfill two primary requirements. The first one, of course, is reaching Tier 8, which you've achieved. But the second requirement is where most stumble."

Caleb raised an eyebrow, urging David to continue.

"The second requirement is to challenge an existing 8th Seat and successfully defeat them in combat. It's not just about personal strength; it's about proving yourself as a superior force within the ranks. An 8th Seat Scout Officer must be capable of besting their peers to earn their place."

David's gaze bore into Caleb's, assessing his readiness for this challenge. "I've seen your combat prowess, but that alone won't cut it. You need to demonstrate your ability to stand above your fellow 8th Seats. That's the true test for someone aspiring to be an 8th Seat."
