MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith



"Right. You also wanted to talk about that." Though the possibility of their decryption being wrong still lingered in her mind, Mystia decided to place the thought at the back of her head for the meantime, letting out a sigh as she gathered her thoughts.

"Well... the first item I'll be explaining in detail is something Sirius has already explained during the auction," said Mystia, revealing to Valyr her connection with Sirius through her words. "I presume you've attended the auction?"

"Yeah." Nodding in response, Valyr looked at the golden orb he had received from Sirius, recalling the different feeling the orb had given him compared to the orb shown in the auction. "The Nascent Rebirth Pill, right?"

"Correct." Subconsciously nodding in agreement to his words, Mystia continued with her explanation. "During the auction, Sirius mentioned that the Nascent rebirth Pill compresses one's mana, enhances one's vitality, as well as increases one's stats by 50 points each."

"However, unlike the Nascent Rebirth Pill I've given to Sirius for him to sell, the Nascent Rebirth Pill I've given you is somewhat different in a way," she continued, letting out a faint chuckle.

"Aside from the fact that the amount of ingredients I've used to concoct the pill I've given you is considerably greater than the amount I used to concoct the pill sold during the auction, all of the pill's effects have been greatly strengthened."

"Of course, that includes the pill's effect of increasing all of your stats." As Valyr visualized Mystia faintly grinning as she said these words, it went without saying that the young man's interest was greatly piqued, wondering to himself how much stronger the pill he had gotten was compared to the one in the auction.

"Hmm... now that I think about it, I guess I should call it by another name since its effects are considerably different from the Nascent Rebirth Pill's," Mystia said all of a sudden amidst the silence, prompting Valyr to perk up his ears as he listened to the woman's words. "I guess calling it the True Rebirth Pill is a better fit."

"Anyways, Sirius mentioned earlier that the Nascent Rebirth Pill compresses one's mana and enhances one's vitality." Hearing Mystia's words, Valyr nodded in agreement, continuing to attentively listen. "In contrast, the True Rebirth Pill not only improves on that compression to mana and enhancement to vitality..."

"It also gives you a corresponding skill that enhances that effect even further."

"Any idea on what that skill is?" Feeling his curiosity towards the skill Mystia mentioned become stronger, Valyr went ahead and asked a very obvious question to her.

"Sadly, I have no clue on what skill it gives you." However, even Mystia was clueless on what kind of skill the pill would give the young man, only working out the skill's effects through her great experience as an alchemist, as well as a bit of guesswork. "All I know is that it'll undoubtedly be of great help to you in the long run."

"How about the boost to one's stats?" Seeing that even Mystia had no idea on what kind of skill the pill would give him, the young man decided to move onto the pill's other effect. "How much of an increase is it compared to the pill's original effect?"

"About 30 points each," replied Mystia succinctly, causing Valyr's eyes to widen in surprise. "In total, you gain 80 points from each stat."

"Wow." For a while, the young man was left at a loss for words, trying to process the information as best as he could. In the end, he could only utter out a sound in response, still unable to wrap his head around the increment.

After all, having a stat of 80 points was already on the level of a being at the peak of Rank 1. In fact, some beings at the beginning levels of Rank 2 also had stats around that level.

With that, it went without saying that increasing all of his stats by 80 points would undoubtedly increase his strength in all fields, even though his combat strength could already rival beings that were solidly at Rank 4. He had a feeling that the pill would allow his strength to rival those at the peak of Rank 4, perhaps even rival those that fully comprehended their Intent.

"How about the vial?" Feeling more than satisfied with the information he had obtained regarding the pill, Valyr moved onto the vial of viscous purple fluid he had gotten.

"About that... I don't really have a name for that, actually." Hearing Valyr's question, Mystia let out an awkward chuckle. "All I have to say about it is that the vial complements the pill's effects."

"Well, that and the fact that it also allows you to connect to a unique type of energy," added the woman soon after, making Valyr raise his eyebrow in curiosity.

"Though, I'll only explain the energy in greater detail after you consume both items." However, before the young man could even ask about it, Mystia had interrupted him, causing the young man to wryly smile in response.

"Is there a specific order on how I consume these items?" Wanting to know more about the unique energy Mystia had mentioned as soon as possible, Valyr made up his mind to consume both items the very moment he had obtained the corresponding instructions from her.

"Nothing too complicated," said Mystia in response. "First, you consume the pill. Then, once you've fully absorbed the pill's effects, only then do you consume the contents of the vial."

"Got it." Valyr nodded, taking in a deep breath as he mentally prepared himself for what he was going to do. Though she had not mentioned anything about it, the young man was certain that there were a few detrimental side effects that came along with consuming the pill, much less the vial Mystia had concocted on a whim.

"Alright. With that, I think I've pretty much said everything I wanted to say to you, so I'll end the conversation here for now." Unfortunately, just as the young man was hoping that the woman would wait for him to consume both of the items, Mystia instead ended their conversation then and there, making him feel a slight hint of disappointment.

Though, as he thought about it for a bit, Valyr soon understood why she had to do it.

Not only was she the empire's Imperial Alchemist, a being all alchemists in the empire looked up to, but she was also one of the empire's many imperial advisers. In other words, the fact that she had more than enough time to hold a long conversation with the young man was already a miracle in itself.

In fact, it also wouldn't be far-fetched for one to think that she was holding a conversation with the young man while doing something else in the meantime.

With that, as Mystia told Valyr that the crystal could be used to contact her at anytime, the latter went ahead and cut off the connection between the two of them, letting the crystal fall to the ground as he eventually shifted his attention on the pill.

"Well then..." Taking in a deep breath once more, Valyr let out a small chuckle as he placed the golden orb into his mouth.

"I guess it won't be long till I contact you again, Mystia."
