[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor

[Back at the hideout.]

"Fuck… Just how big of a mess did you made?" – said Phantasia while cleaning up.

"…."

"Okay… This place is now somewhat… Clean?"

"Now… I guess I need to repair those things."

(That guy broke some devices and I bought some parts that looked similar… But I have zero idea if they will work.)

(Since I cannot bring them to the city to have them repaired, I have to do that myself… Messing around with the devices and tools I never seen or used before… Fuck.)

(However, the worst part is that those parts alone costed a bit and some parts needed to repair the most important things were either unable to be bought in the city or were too pricy.)

(Well… Let's just do it.)

I began trying to repair some of the tools related to the alchemy that got broken…. And I got to say…. It did took some time.

Some of the tools got wrecked badly to the point I didn't know what goes where… Good thing I took a good look around the alchemy store and the tools they were selling. I write important details of the tools in my notebook.

Still, even with notes it did ended up taking some time to repair some of the tools.

I did ended up spending hours, cleaning this place up and repairing tools, but I managed to do everything.

"Good."

(Its not perfect. But it will do.)

(The only thing that is left are those tools… BUT HOLY SHIT! Even the price for the parts were high like hell!)

(How the hell did that bastard even got his hands on those tools in the first place?)

"…"

"Well."

"No matter."

(I couldn't buy a blacksmith equipment yet, since I didn't sold the materials from the rats. I will need to do any blacksmith related work in the public workshop.)

(Still, the main goal was achievement.)

(I have now a base where I can conduct any shady alchemy or research regarding plagues in peace.)

(I also hunted a bit and gather some slime as well as other materials from the forest.)

(Now, its time to lock myself in here and experiment.)

"However, what I need right now is money."

(I may have gotten some money from get go thanks to the sewers, but I already spent most of it alongside the other money I had on me.)

(But beside the materials, I need money for other things.)

(So…. What is the best way to get money? Making potions.)

(I pretty much spend lot of time, gathering materials and other stuff instead of hunting.)

(However I did hunted a bit for materials.)

"What the players need right now isn't mass produced items made by equipment shop or alchemy shop, but instead an proper equipment and potions."

(There are still a lot of low level players, but there should be also players with the same level as me.)

(I may have leveled up bit faster thanks to knowing about the big evil rabbits hunting ground as well as thanks to fighting those hordes of rats, but with me being focused more on crafting now, it will be no surprise if I will be behind others in terms of levels if not already.)

(However, it all be worth it.)

(Any good experimental potions I made I can sell AND I will learn more about alchemy.)

(Not only that, I can practice using those devices and see their effects.)

[Evil Rabbit Foot]

[A most tasty part of the evil rabbit. Possess some vitality inside.]

[Big Evil Rabbit Foot]

[A most tasty part of the big evil rabbit. Possess some vitality inside.]

[Sewer Rat Mushroom]

[A mushroom that was grown a mutated often in areas where the sewers rats live. Very harmful and dangerous, but an emergency food for the sewer rats.]

[Sewer Rat Fur]

[A fur from the sewer rats. Its very dangerous to even touch considering the disease and harmful substances that contains it, but it also possess a natural defense against the diseases and poisons.]

[Sewer Rat Meat]

[A meat of the sewer rat. Its very harmful and toxic, it's not recommended to be eaten by anybody or anything that doesn't have any form of poison resistance.]

[Sewer Rat Poison Organ]

[A special organ that was developed by the sewer rats that allows the rats to produce a poison that cowers their fangs and claws.]

[Dark Cave Moss]

[A special moss that can be found in very deep and dark caves with their own ecosystems. Emits faint light when exposed to the total darkness. Contains bit of mana and is edible.]

[Grey Nettle]

[A harmful plant that contains both sharp leaves and poison. The leaves cannot give you a deep cut and can only cut a bit of your skin, but not really making you bleed a lot, but enough for the poison to slip in. However, the poison itself isn't fatal or anything close to that and more like annoyance.]

I got few new materials.

The monster's noticeable thing is the sewer rat drop items.

Honestly, I don't anybody wants to eat that meat from them in the first place…. But this isn't the only reason.

"It's very harmful and toxic."

That is what is written on the item description.

So, there is a chance I can use it for the alchemy.

Not only that, but all the materials I gotten from the sewers.

The also noticeable materials I also have are the evil rabbits foots.

They may seem like ingredients for the cooking, but:" Possess some vitality inside".

So maybe its not just simple ingredient as it may appear. Maybe I can use it for the alchemy?

Well, we will see.

Pretty much I spend the rest of the day, experimenting with the materials, trying to find different reactions,

Taking notes. Repeat. Mix. Change order. Use different tool.

Honestly. It was quite interesting.

Honestly, I felt like some sort of mad scientist…. Huh…. "Doctor"?

Huh… Well, I'm planning to be a person who will spread the plagues…. So, plague doctor? But not the one who cures it, but the ones who spreads it.

…

Hm… I have an idea…. But let's wait a bit with it.

For now: Alchemy.

The next day was fully dedicated to the alchemy.

The notes I have taken alongside the experiments were… More successful than I though.

Honestly, I though about experimenting with the plagues, but the research regarding the sewer's rats' materials was far from "Completed".

I though that it still wasn't time… But then it hit me.

"Do I need to create a harmful plague?"

So, I tried messing around and as it turns out I can.

I managed to create an "Helpful" plague… But I won't be using it.

Experimenting with the plagues alone and alchemy do consume a lot of resources, and I need those for the creating "Harmful" plague.

Honestly, I could make some "Helpful" plagues and sell them, but it would make people pay attention to me and other stuff AND that is something I need to avoid at all cost now.

So, I will be not making an "Helpful" plague and instead focus the materials related to it for the potion crafting.

Anyway, the experiments were going… Pretty good, but not there yet.

I guess alchemy isn't something you can learn and use in only just few days.

Still! The possibilities! The reactions!

This isn't a world of the game with the predetermined path, but a path you can create yourself!

Not only an adventure, but also your creation!

This world has so much freedom, too much even to the point I wouldn't be surprised if there would be confused people, not knowing what to do.

Still, if I can that much FUN with the alchemy, what about the plagues?

What sort of things I can create?

Can I create something that can regrow people limbs? Or maybe a diseases that can melt people bodies?

Or what about the blacksmithing? What sort of weapons I can create?

Oh wait!

Can I combine all 3 together? What would a combination of all 3 make?

I know that the path is still long, with all 3 paths, BUT I CAN'T WAIT!

The things I can make!

And the chaos that they may bring is already exciting me.
