Feeling determined to explore the world of alchemy, Kulas decided to become a Basic Alchemy Apprentice. He visited the Adventurer Association and signed up for the alchemist subclass. A friendly female NPC handed him an insignia that marked him as a basic alchemy apprentice.
The insignia glinted in the virtual light, signifying his commitment to a new path. Kulas had always been intrigued by the idea of creating potions and contributing to the well-being of adventurers across the game world. With his Lightning Edge sheathed at his side, he embraced his new role with enthusiasm.
As he stepped into the bustling streets of Everwing City, Kulas felt a surge of excitement coursing through him. His journey as an alchemist had begun, and he was determined to make a name for himself in this craft. The city was filled with players seeking various professions, from powerful combatants to skilled artisans. Kulas had found his niche as a creator of potions, a role that would allow him to support others on their adventures.
With the basic HP and basic mana potion recipes in hand, Kulas headed to the Adventurer Shop to purchase the necessary ingredients. The shop was a hub of activity, with players trading items, sharing stories of their battles, and seeking equipment to aid them on their quests. Kulas exchanged some of his hard-earned coins for the recipe scrolls and ingredients, his heart racing with anticipation.
In no time, he was back at the Adventurer Association, eager to rent an alchemy room and set his skills to the test. The room he entered was modest, but it was filled with an array of tools and equipment that could enhance his chances of success. As he surveyed the room, Kulas couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He was embarking on a journey of discovery, one that would lead him to unlock the secrets of alchemical craftsmanship.
With a steady hand, Kulas meticulously mixed the ingredients according to the recipe's instructions. The process required precision and focus, traits that he had developed through his experiences in combat and exploration. As he worked, he thought back to the battles he had fought, the monsters he had defeated, and the challenges he had overcome. Those experiences had prepared him for this new endeavor, shaping him into a player capable of tackling both physical and intellectual challenges.
The hours flew by as Kulas honed his alchemical skills. Crafting potions was an art that required a delicate touch and an understanding of the materials at hand. With each attempt, he learned from his mistakes, adjusting his techniques and refining his methods. The alchemy room became a sanctuary of experimentation, a place where Kulas could immerse himself in his craft.
And then, on the seventh try, it happened. A soft glow enveloped the mixture in his cauldron, and a sense of accomplishment washed over him as he held up a vial containing a Basic Mana Potion. The virtual world seemed to celebrate his achievement as a system announcement echoed in the air:
"Congratulations for Crafting Basic Mana Potion. You gain 1 mastery point and 10 exp."
