Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Creating Another Item With Alchemy

[Ace POV],

Fortunately for me, I was finally able to leave the hill alive without being pursued by any earth rats or mutated earth rats, and I dashed to a location far from the hill.

This was done not because I was afraid since I can't feel it in the first place, but because I was cautious of someone following me.

It's ironic because I just did to another person what I didn't want for myself.

I still hadn't forgotten that adding someone to one's contact list gives both parties access to each other's locations on the map, and the range of the map was quite large, so my goal now was to leave this area and the area the map could reach using my own map as a reference, so the next few minutes were spent silently running to another location.

After a few minutes of running, I came to a halt before deciding to rest on the trunk of a nearby tree.

I'd already left the rocky area, so I was back in the forest, staring at the sky, and I didn't need a digital watch to tell me it was dead in the night.

I ditched my clothes on my way here because they were quite bloody, and how did I do that while running?

Simple.

I just circulated the mana in my body to coat myself in flames and burnt my clothes in the process, so yeah.

I was completely naked right now, and it felt a little cold, but I had to do it because wearing blood-stained clothes would only attract monsters.

And since I wasn't too bothered by running commando for a while, the idea of burning my clothes didn't bother me.

I called out the primordial chronicle in my head and went to the general sub-option of the store section to buy myself a new set of clothes as I reflected on these things and recalled what had happened since I left the hill.

Emma said something in the true world that I later realized was that the clothes we bought from the store were quite comfortable.

I'm not sure if it was because of this thought or because I was relatively wealthy compared to before, but I bought myself a cloth set worth 10 silver coins, which was a lot more than the clothes I bought in the dungeon world for only 50 bronze coins.

The clothes had no extra special properties such as being magical or anything of the sort, but they were more comfortable to wear than the one I had previously.

After changing into the new set of clothes I bought, I sat down to think about what to do next.

For one thing, I finally found a place where I could finish my job requirements all at once, but it was too dangerous for the current me to attempt.

And, yes, the place I had in mind was the den of the earth rats, and while I had given up on it now, it was only because that was all I could do at the time, which did not mean I had completely forgotten about it.

After all, where else could I see a swarm of rank 1 monsters?

There must be places like this in the true world, but I didn't have the time to look for them.

If I did this, I was only putting my life in danger because there could be a dangerous monster in the area I was exploring.

The den was ideal for me because it served as a shortcut for me to complete my quest quickly.

For one thing, I had all of the monsters needed to complete my job quest.

Well, there were enough monsters for me to complete my second job requirement, but the third and second requirements were quite different.

It wasn't that there weren't enough monsters for them because, based on what I'd seen, the earth rats I trailed to the rocky hills were already in their hundreds, let alone the mutated earth rats that chased after the four men I followed, so it wasn't that there weren't enough monsters.

It was something else entirely.

As I was thinking about this, I called out the primordial chronicle in my head, and a panel appeared in front of me.

Seeing this, I directed my attention to the job section on my panel to track my progress in my job quest.

...…

[Kill Unranked Monsters using Magic: [100/100]✔

[Kill Rank 1 Monster using magic: [2/50]],

[Kill Rank 1 Monster with the aid of Alchemy: [0/30]],

[Kill Rank 1 Monster with a single hit with the aid of Alchemy: [0/1]],

[Time Limit: 45 Days: 7 Hours: 37 Minutes: 48 Seconds],

...….

Looking at my progress and how far I still had to go before looking at the time limit I had to complete the remaining requirements to evolve with the Alchemist lord job, I shook my head and dismissed the panel in front of me.

5 days had passed since the initial 50 days I had to complete my job requirements, and only the first, simplest, and easiest one had been completed.

The second one still had a long way to go before I could finish it, and the third and fourth requirements were still in their basic form.

If it hadn't been for my curiosity and the fact that I was beginning to realize the difference between having a job and not having one, as well as the difference between jobs, I wouldn't be trying so hard right now and would instead be lying at home experimenting and improving my alchemy.

It's time I also use alchemy to create another item.

My progress with my pills was going well, and it wouldn't be long before I became a Trainee Alchemist, allowing me to shift my focus to something else.

When I return to the alternate dimension, I will decide what the next item I will attempt to create will be.

As of now, the night is still young, so I should try to kill some more rank 1 monster to gratify the second requirement of my job.

Aside from the first requirement, the second requirement was also quite simple for me to complete as long as I had time and a location where I could quickly kill weaker rank 1 monsters.

This was also the reason I considered returning to the earth rat den in the future.

The location is already marked on my map, so I can go whenever I want, but I won't until I have sufficient strength and preparations.

As I considered these things and made my decision, I prepared to leave the tree when a bell-like sound rang in my head, followed by the appearance of a panel in front of me.

It was a message from Anna, which was unexpected.

[Annabelle Dark]

[How's hunting over there?],

I recognized the text in the panel in front of me as Anna using the contact system function to message me.

I also had an idea as to why the message was so straightforward and brief.

It must be due to the cost of sending messages to people on one's contact list, so Anna must have kept the message short and simple if this was the case.

Thinking about this, I willed my thoughts through the primordial chronicle to respond to Anna's message as the text on the panel in front of me vanished, followed by a square-like bar.

Seeing this, I knew this was the place to type in the message I wanted to send to Anna, which I did as soon as I saw it.

[It's going well. What about your side?],

I willed my thoughts through the primordial chronicle to send the message to Anna after entering this into the text bar on the panel.

Following this decision, the text on the panel in front of you vanished, and new ones appeared immediately.

[Message cost 5 silver coins. Do you wish to send the message?],

Seeing this, I decided not to send the message right away due to the cost I discovered.

It wasn't that I lacked the coins needed to send the message.

I was a little curious by the price.

'How far is she from me?' I wondered, then ignored it and chose to confirm the message sending.

After that, I descended from the tree on which I was perched, and just as I was about to move, I received a response from Anna.

[Annabelle Dark]

[It's going smoothly. Take Care],

When I saw the text on the panel in front of me, I dismissed it as soon as I finished reading it and proceeded through the forest in an attempt to increase my kill count for my job requirement.
