75: Achievements 75: Achievements Welcome Zefrax_the_reader, Reynaldo_Gonzaga, and TSO7.
I hope you enjoyed my novel enough to choose to support it.
The bonus chapters will be updated tomorrow.
===== Chapter 75 Achievements.
A way to gain stats.
It had been pricking at my mind why I couldn’t receive achievements after all this time even though I was a person who did some pretty recognizable things.
What was so special about the knight’s squadron that I killed in the beginning?
Why did I receive an achievement from the bat dungeon but not from any other dungeon that I was able to clear innovatively?
The answer took some time but I was finally able to figure it out.
Main story.
The closer to the main story I am and the more alterations I make to the story, I get achievements.
It was still a theory so I wasn’t so sure about it.
I was about ninety percent sure.
Maybe ninety-one.
I had to rack my brain and connect the dots.
The knight’s squadron I killed was also a stepping stone for the main characters when they would go to the empire in future volumes.
After some digging, I figured it out.
When they faced me they were small time but in the future, they had something that Eric and his party would require.
As for the bat dungeon, Eric needed the vampire blood essence that I once again took for myself, so it was a no-brainer there. After that, I don’t think I have done anything that robbed Eric of his opportunities so maybe that is why I obtained no achievements.
But as I said, it was still a theory.
There was a chance that it might not work and it was all just a coincidence like Allison said.
But there was no harm in trying.
Besides, I will make sure not to take too great of an opportunity from Eric.
After all, I don’t want the protagonist of this world to die just because someone thwarted his growth.
I have no idea how he is connected to this world.
If doing so ends up fu*king up the world itself, then it would be very pathetic.
So that brings me to my current problem.
What do I do?
The girls are still busy with their breakthrough and as for Rose, she is showing tremendous progress in her training.
If I have to say, about five percent of the work is already done, and even that just in the span of five days.
The other two are still busy with their breakthrough so it gives me a window this weekend.
Rose will continue with her training and I have nothing much to do.
The opportunity I am trying to target is this, a weapon.
It is useful for Eric in the third test which is the key to clear that artifact.
Clearing that artifact isn’t beneficial to me.
What Eric obtains from it is useless to me or any of my companions.
But I just want to see if it works or not.
If this one doesn’t, then I will have to move on to a bigger one.
And the person who holds it is this old man.
A noble of some kingdom.
I don’t know which ones and I don’t care about knowing.
All I want is the key and I will be on my way.
I don’t know what Eric did for him in the novel or perhaps it was his status as an apostle that he was able to obtain the key from this guy but I’m sure whatever Eric could do, I could do as well.
Or so I thought.
“Throw him out!!!” The old man shouted when I introduced myself.
Now, now, you speak like that to me in the empire and you earn yourself an express ticket to a beheading event.
And wouldn’t he die if he overexerts himself like that?
He already looks like he is going to die.
One foot’s in grave yet he is shouting like a cheerleader on steroids.
He should be more careful.
Although he had given an order, none of his kin or servants dared to step forward which seemed to have enraged him even more.
“What are you doing?!!!
I ordered you to throw this filth out.
Did you not hear me, Heim?” The old man again shouted, this time addressing a man who seemed to be his son.
But from the looks of it, it would be difficult to do anything here so I simply stood up to leave.
Seeing me get up, the man named Heim also stepped forward and said, “Let me show you the way out, Your Highness.” Although his choice of words wasn’t respectful because of the old man, I could pick up the underlying fear so I simply nodded in return.
Besides, I also wanted to know what was going on.
“You may not know but I have recently lost my memory,” I said as soon as we were outside the small villa.
Well, I say small because I was comparing it to the one I was staying at but it was still sizeable.
Heim listened attentively as I continued, “So I don’t know how I have offended your father.
I was hoping you could enlighten me.” since I didn’t know the name of the old man, I simply called him his father.
Heim’s expression became complicated as he didn’t know how to reply.
Or to be more precise, he couldn’t find the correct words.
[Correct?] ‘Another word for polite or respectful.’ [Because those words don’t suit you] Those words didn’t suit the description of Adrian.
I am not Adrian.
==== “So, what you mean to say is that I was found with his wife?” I summarized the story told by Heim.
At a banquet last year before the beginning of the academy entrance test, I was found together with the old man’s new and young wife.
I may have mentioned it before, but Adrian sure does have very low standards when it comes to women.
“Yes.” Heim awkwardly replied.
Since it wasn’t his blood mother, he wasn’t so bothered by it but the same couldn’t said for the old man.
“I was only found, or was there evidence of something happening as well?” I asked just to be sure.
It could simply be a misunderstanding.
I mean, she and Adrian could simply be sharing a drink behind closed doors with clothes off.
It doesn’t necessarily mean they were screwing each other.
[…] “I am very sure, Your Highness.” He awkwardly replied and then displayed a scenario with his movements. ‘Doggy, huh?’ Okay, they were screwing each other.
But how do I salvage this?
I don’t necessarily need that weapon but if it could be helped, I should go with this one.
The other opportunities of Eric in this city are very important.
Doing anything about them would definitely halt his progress.
“Is there something I can do to apologize?
I know the previous me made a mistake or it might not be enough to call it a mistake but please understand, I am trying to right my wrongs here.” I asked Heim.
He didn’t know how to respond to my request.
I understand what I was asking was unreasonable but it wasn’t to the point that it couldn’t be done.
“There is one thing,” Heim said after a while.
===== [Seriously?] ‘I’ve done worse.’ [But again, seriously?] ‘Fu*k off.’ [Hahahahaha] This B****.
The task that Heim asked me was simple.
His father wants to get married again and for that, he wants to clear the problem of his manly functions.
What an astonishing old man.
I can understand wanting to get married at this age because old men are mostly lonely at this time of their lives.
But what I find remarkable is his wish to do the deed as well.
However, considering his age, I doubt anything works.
So he is looking for a solution regarding that.
Unfortunately, he can’t find any.
‘And nor he ever will.’ But recently I obtained something that can be of help.
[Slime Juice Rank: C+ Restores the ability of a male to reproduce for a short amount of time.
Enhances the pleasure given as well.
Warning: Too much use can cause irreversible damage] The problem being here is simple.
One cannot use it raw.
If the old man takes it, he will show performance for a short amount of time but it wouldn’t be good for him.
So what I intend to make is a medicine using this essence.
I have made it before as an experiment and I made a very exquisite product before.
What I am trying to make this time, is in the form of a potion.
It could also be a new product and from some perspective, it could be very useful.
Now, if I remember correctly, the ingredients for the medicine I made were, “Ginseng of about 100 years old, Maca of the same or older quality, Tribulus Terrestris, Ashwagandha, and Yohimbe.” None of these herbs and products exist in this world and even if they do, I don’t want to waste time trying to look for them when they are all available in the system shop.
[Cost -302110] It wasn’t particularly expensive to buy them all as well.
I began by extracting their essences and then mixing them in a certain quantity.
Once that was done, I separated them into ten different containers.
That was because now was the time to conduct an experiment.
Up until now was the same procedure but I didn’t know what ratio of slime juice should I mix into it.
I put them on low heat and pulled out the slime essence.
Although I had about fifty of them, I wanted to use only one for this.
It was packed in a stylish vial like a medicine.
I used a makeshift syringe to measure the quantity and slowly added it to the different containers of the essences.
The first three were outright failures as the slime juice didn’t mix.
So I used another magical ingredient from this world to try and mix it and it worked.
I obtained knowledge of this ingredient from the elven library so I knew of it.
Verassitus.
An herb often used in potion making as a catalyst.
Its main function is to mix and match the herbs that are at odds with one another.
This time it worked but the resultant product was a failure again because of the quantity mismatch but it was working so after five more tries, I was successful in making it on my ninth try.
[Potion to revive hope Grade: E A magical potion created for those poor men who have lost their purpose in life.
To give them a ray of hope, a scientist who had nothing better to do made something to lead them to a new life.
A utopia of pleasure.
Effect: Restores the ability of a male to reproduce for a short amount of time.
Other effects related to the deed are also enhanced.
There is no side effect to using it] This was the difference between just using the slime essence and making a proper medicine out of it.
No side effects.
The name was, well who cares what the name was.
Only I could see it anyway.
The description pissed me off a bit but I calmed down seeing the success of my experiment.
Anyway, since I had one more try left, I decided to try something different as well.
[Slime essence Rank: C+ When added while brewing a potion, the effects of the potion are enhanced by 50 percent Limited to A-rank potions] I decided to add this one to it as well, just for purely experimental purposes.
And the result was astonishing, to say the least.
[Potion to revive hope (revised) Grade: D+ A magical potion created for those poor men who have lost their purpose in life.
To give them a ray of hope, a scientist who had nothing better to do made something to lead them to a new life.
A utopia of pleasure.
Effect: Restores the ability of a male to reproduce for a short amount of time.
Other effects related to the deed are also enhanced.
Revised effects: Enlargement is added.
Enhanced pleasure is added.
There is no side effect to using it] What have I created?
It is terrifying how I can make things like this by myself.
===== Let me know if the readers find this idea offensive and I can change it to another scenario that I have in mind.
