[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor

[At the public workshop.]

"Huh…."

(THERE IS NOBODY HERE!)

(Like, literally, only the staff is here!)

(Is… Nobody interested in crafting or something?)

(…)

(Well... I can't blame them.)

(After fighting a bit and using magic, I was literally charmed by it. It was way more fun than I though.)

(But I at least though there would be at least 10 people here or something, SINCE I FUKING SAW THE HORDE OF PLAYERS!)

(…)

(Oh wait…)

(Right. I'm idiot.)

(You need money to use this place and have materials.)

(If you look at it, people are probably gathering materials or something and doing some quest to get money.)

(So it DOES make sense that there is nobody here right now.)

(Well… I'm not complaining?)

(….)

(Well then, let's get to the work already.)

Phantasia began taking out items from his inventory before putting them on his table.

[Mana Grass]

[Basic Ingredients used for alchemy that anybody can use. The plain grass that mutated after being exposed to mana over prolonged amount of time and has and very extremely low chance of mutating, but the plant itself doesn't possess much mana itself. It's just some grass that grown bit larger that has barely any mana.]

[Healing Grass]

[A common type of plant that often appears in the territories that belongs to the monsters. Despise its name, it's not a grass at all. Possess some healing traits, but a very weak to the point it can be mostly used to heal small cuts only. Not recommended to eat raw.]

[Green Dandelion]

[A harmful weed plant that possess a very weak paralyzing properties that its uses to deal with the bugs. Not dangerous to humans or even small animals, but taste very sour.]

[Wiggling Leaf]

[A leaf that often grows in the forest infested by monsters. Its plant like thing that resembles leaf and has relaxing effect. It grows on the ground and often near trees.]

[Lil Blue Slime Goo]

[A slime goo from the Lil Blue Slime monster. It's a very clear transparent substance with some small bits of mana inside of it.]

[Lil Blue Slime Core]

[A gem like thing that is a heart and the brain of the Lil Blue Slime. Pretty much its main body. The core acts like the special organ that allows it to move around the goo as well as produce it.]

"Alchemy tools…Check… Water…. Check… I think I'm good to go."

"Okay…. Let's try with this first."

Grind the healing grass and then put it with the water in the pot.

Mix it up.

Cool it down and then mix it again.

…

[Poorly Made Healing Grass Potion]

[Rarity: Common]

[A most basic potion used for healing, but this one was made very badly to the point that the healing effects aren't that great.]

[When used, restore 10 HP.]

"…"

(Well… This was my first attempt… So, no surprise I fucked up…)

"Well, I got a lot of these in the first place, so I can try again and again."

Second try.

…

"How the fuck I made it worse?!"

Third try.

"…"

"Yea… I'm not drinking that…"

Fourth try.

"…"

"Fuuuucckkkk."

Fifth try.

Sixed try.

Seventh try.

[Healing Grass Potion]

[Rarity: Common]

[A most basic and simples' potions that even complete amateur can create with ease.]

[When used, restore 25 HP.]

"…"

(FINALY!)

"…"

"…"

"The taste…. Sucks big time…."

[Your HP has been restored.]

"…"

"Well… At least it works?"

(But the taste! Fuck me! It taste like shit!)

[You are the first ever player to use alchemy and succeeded in using it to create something.]

"?"

[You have obtained title: First Alchemist]

[Title Rank: E]

[Effect]

[Your alchemist class type class will receive a 5 level up.]

[Alchemist class will receive level up.]

[The [Alchemist] cannot level up right now. It will automatically level up once you fulfil conditions.]

"…"

"Huh…"

(First the first murder, then first criminal and now first alchemist?)

(Well, the effect isn't anything grand or anything, it's just gave me 5 class point that is automatically used on the [Alchemist] class and the cost to increase the [Alchemist] class is only 1 point… So, it's nothing like GRAND title or something. The other two titles I got before have much stronger effects.)

(Well, let's just continue making stuff-.)

[You have created a common rarity item.]

[You have obtained title: Crafting – Tier 1]

[Crafting – Tier 1]

[Title Rank: E]

[A title given to those who have successfully created an item of the specific rarity.]

[Effect]

[+5 class points]

"Oh?"

(I got another title from get go?!)

(I wasn't expecting that.)

(But anyway, what is it?)

(…)

(So is it a title that you get when you create an item of the specific rarity? Like common, rare and legendary? Huh.)

(…)

(You know. I'm now getting quite motivated! Let's see what else we can make AND see if I can get any other titles or maybe create something interesting!)

[Few moments later.]

[Green Dandelion Potion]

[Harmful potion that can inflict an annoying tickling sensation and inflict slows movement speed by 1%. The effect doesn't stack and only lasts 5 seconds.]

[Wiggling Leaf Potion]

[A relaxing potion that taste like a tea. When used, restore 20 MP.]

[Mana Grass Potion]

[A mix of a water and the mana grass, taste like a grass, literally just like grass. When consumed, no effects.]

"Hm…"

(One potion that just gives 1% movement speed slow and only last few seconds 5 seconds… Garbage.)

(The potion that can restore 20 MP and taste like a tea, like the very common tea you can literally anywhere. It doesn't taste bad or anything.)

(And the last one… Does literally nothing…. And taste like grass… I drank that even to make sure.)

(Beside the willing leaf potion and the healing grass potion, everything else is pretty much… Useless. Not only that, I didn't get any new titles, I wonder what conditions I would need to fulfil?)

(…)

(?)

(Hey… What happens if I mix them up? Like the ingredients and potions?)

Phantasia picked up the wiggling leaf potion and the healing and mixed up both potions.

[Willing Leaf And Healing Grass Mixed UP Potion]

[A potion that is made by mixing up two different potions, however the potions ended up hindering each other up, making the potion effect became weaker.]

[Restore 5 HP and 5 MP.]

"…"

"Hm…"

(Mixing potions didn't do the trick… What if I start from the scratch with the ingredients?)

[Moments later.]

[Willing Leaf And Healing Grass Potion]

[Restore 15 HP and 15 MP.]

(Hm… The effect is better… But it's still worse than the healing grass potion and the wiggling leaf potion that restore 25 points each.)

(Pretty much, it's not worth it. It's just way better to make the two potions.…. And the taste is shitty like the healing grass, I can't even taste one bit of the wiggling leaf.)

(Well, at least I confirmed that mixing up the ingredients.)

(But still….)

(…)

(Hm…)

(I wonder… I wonder what would happens if I use the mana grass or the slime goo?)

(It seems that the mana grass doesn't have effects on its own… But what would happened if I mix it up?)

(Let's try the healing potion first.)

"…"

"…"

"Hm…"

(The ingredients aren't blending well… Maybe I should increase the heat and mix it as well?)

"…"

"…"

"Fuck! I screwed up!"

"…"

"Again."

"…"

"…"

"Done."

[Healing Grass And Mana Grass Potion]

[Restore 30 HP.]

"!"

(The effect got increased by 5 points!?)

"What about the wiggling grass?"

"…"

"…"

[Wiggling Leaf And Mana Grass Potion]

[Restore 30 MP.]

"!"

(The effect also got enchanted!)

(I see.)

(So the mana grass isn't stuff you should use alone, but with some other stuff.)

(…)

(Hm…)

"…"

[Green Dandelion And Mana Grass Potion]

[Harmful potion that can inflict an annoying tickling sensation as if mosquito bitten you and inflict slows movement speed by 1%. The effect doesn't stack and only lasts 7 seconds.]

(…)

(The effect only seem to increase the effect duration, by only 2 seconds? … That's… very underwhelming.)

"Well, at least that confirms some things…"

(Still, I guess it's better to take notes and all, since I may need them.)

(But… This is fun?)

(I wasn't expending for the alchemy to be this fun!)

(Then what about the slime goo?)

"…"

"?!"

"Shit! Did I screwed up from get go?!"

"Hm…. Maybe I should start with the healing grass first and add the goo later?

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Huh… Done?"

[Healing Grass And Lil Blue Slime Goo Potion]

[Restore 30 HP.]

(Hm… The effect got increased, but only by 5?)

(The slime goo was harder to use than the healing grass and I even failed few times, but the effect only 5?)

(…)

(What if I mix 3 of them together?)

"…"

"…"

[Modified Healing Grass Potion]

[Restore 35 HP]

"Phew."

(Huh… I saw a bit weirder reaction so I decided to cool it down a bit and it seemed to be good decision? It took bit longer to make, but I did it at the first try.)

(Anyway, the effect is much stronger.)

(It has bonus 10 points recovery, making It restore 35 points.)

"…"

"Huh… This is really fun."

(I mean, I did had fun at the start, but experimenting and other stuff seems way more fun than I originally though?)

(Honestly, I wouldn't mind turning into alchemist class user only.)

(Well, I still need ingredients and all. I already used a LOT of stuff I got."

[Skill [Alchemy] has reached level 7.]

[You have received EXP.]

[The title [First Alchemist] has been activated.]

[Skill [Alchemy] has reached level 8.]

"!"

(Huh. It suddenly level up?)

(…)

(Wait.)

(How long I was here for anyway?)

(…)

(Yea…. Considering how many stuff I made and how many ingredients used… It's no surprise that SOME time would pass.)

(Well, I'm not complaining.)

(By the way, I didn't noticed that you get EXP when you craft stuff? Huh. Wasn't expecting that.)

(…)

(Fuck.)

(I'm not going to hunt anymore.)

(I think I will just all the stuff here for some experiment and stuff until I ran out of them. Maybe I will find some interesting discoveries?)

Pretty much, I began messing around, trying different stuff.

Mixing ingredients with already made potions.

Boiling for long time something.

Cutting. Griding. Boiling. Mixing.

Different stuff with different ingredients.

Honestly, I did wasted almost all the materials, even when making some stupid mistakes intentionally… But I managed to take a lot of notes that contains my research and even had some fun.

"…"

(Huh… I only wanted to learn alchemy to make potions for myself since I was planning on being solo… But wasn't expecting to have so much fun.)

(I honestly won't be surprised one bit if there will be a lot of players that just screw fighting and only focus on making stuff. I was literally consider doing that.)

(But if I want to became a real villain, I need to get stronger and the alchemy is one of the means of…)

(…)

(…Now that I think about it…)

(Hm….)

(Fuck it.)

(I may as well try blacksmithing.)

(If I want to make in the future my own potions, I may as well learn how to make my own equipment.)

(I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I lost access to the shops and all, not only the shops selling potions but also equipment.)

(So honestly, it may be a good idea to just screw it and try and learn blacksmithing.)

[You have spent class points: 1]

[You have acquired [Blacksmith] level 1/100]

(Okay. Let's buy some stuff and get starting.)

[Sometime later.]

"…"

"Fuck."

[Horrible Made Copper Dagger]

"…"

(Wow…. This…. May take a while…)

[Horrible Made Copper Dagger]

"No."

[Very weird Copper Dagger]

"Fuck off."

[Horrible Made Copper Dagger]

"How the fuck I made it again?!"

[#&*(% Copper Dagger]

"…"

(WTF did I made?!)

(…)

(Yea… It will take a while….)

[MORE tries later.]

[Armature Copper Dagger]

[A copper dagger made by a complete amateur. Its isn't very good in the first place and is very poorly made to the point it be called that its "SUCKS" but it's at least usable somewhat. Well… "SOMEWHAT" usable?]

[Attack: 3-5]

"FINALY!"

"…"

(Well…. It's still very bad item… BUT IT'S THE FIRST THING THAT IS USUABLE!)

(All other daggers I made were even far worse than somehow!)

(Jezus fuking Christ.)

(I mean I did fucked up a lot in alchemy and wasted the materials before I succeeded in my first potions….)

(So both alchemy and blacksmithing isn't easy huh?)

(I guess I still have long way to go…)

(Well, I did spend more time on the alchemy today, so maybe if I would spend half or entire day on the blacksmithing I may be able to finally create some "REAL" dagger at least? I mean for fuck's sake; my beginner crossbow is way better than this dagger. A fuking starting weapon is better than this! I ended up creating a real garbage.)

(…)

(Well, that isn't the main problem….)

(…)

(…)

(I FUKING RAN OUT OF MONEY!)

(I spend all of my money, even after smelting down the failure daggers.)

(This…. Was way harder than I thought… I didn't even repaired my equipment or brough more crossbolt bolt because of my stubborn ass didn't wanted to give up!)

(I spend all the money I managed to obtain from selling those materials I got from the forest as well as other stuff I got from the monsters! I sold everything valuable I had on me and I ended up spending all of that money like a gambling addict! FUCK MY STUPID ASS!)

(I have nothing!)

(No money!)

(No repaired equipment!)

(And I run out of the stuff to use!)

(…)

(Well, at least I got this.)

[First Blacksmith] – [E]

[[Blacksmith] class gain 5 free level.]

(It seems I got another title.)

(At least that is positive news?)

(Well, probably the only reason why I got it was because I decided to become blacksmith today. I would probably not gotten it.)

(Well… The title itself isn't that grand or anything just like the [First Alchemist] …)

(Still…. I think I need to spend a lot of time learning blacksmithing… Just like the alchemy…. Yea… I think I won't be able to hunt or something for few days…. Making stuff is fun and all… But I have run out of everything… I'm poor right now.)

(So…. I cannot do any since I'm poor right now and I ran out of the materials… And considering that players will be 100% in the forest, it will make gathering materials much slower…. So, yea… I'm bit fucked at the moment.)

(…. So, yea… I guess I will have to only hunt for some time, save up money for renting the alchemist and blacksmith equipment and gather a lot of materials for my alchemist training…. So pretty much I won't be able for some time try and to mess around and hone my alchemy and blacksmithing skills for any time soon.)

"…"

(Well, I suppose be glad that I didn't encounter any real problems today and even got somewhat lucky.)

(But probably tomorrow… Things will be bit more annoying.)
