After hours of focused potion-making, Kulas had crafted a total of 120 basic HP potions and 130 basic mana potions. His efforts had paid off, and he passed the requirements to become an Intermediate Alchemy Apprentice. The journey from an intermediate to an advanced apprentice required 400 mastery points, and Kulas was already at 50/400 mastery points, inching closer to his goal.
Selling his potions proved to be a successful venture, earning him 7.3 silver coins, equivalent to 730 pesos. The conversion rate between in-game coins and real-world currency was 1 silver coin = 100 pesos. His skills as an alchemist were not only fulfilling his desire to contribute to the player community but also providing him with a steady source of income.
Kulas leveled up to 7, allocating 5 points to intelligence and 5 points to strength. His growth was evident as he continued to strengthen his attributes and skills.

As Kulas worked diligently, his friends were engaged in dungeon runs. KingM, along with Don, Ace, and PapiRumpa, were exploring dungeons to further improve their skills and equipment.
With his friends occupied, Kulas decided to venture into the Stone Forest to grind monsters and level up. However, as he arrived, he witnessed a troubling scene. Snow Flower, the guild leader of Flower Thorns, was under attack by a group of red players. These players had previously attacked him, and they were now targeting Snow Flower.
"Miss Snow, just leave your equipment and some coins so you can leave alive," Soaring Lion, the leader of the red players, taunted. Snow Flower's defiant response only seemed to amuse the red players.
At first hesitant, Kulas decided to intervene. Without a second thought, he leaped into action, drawing his Lightning Edge and engaging the red players in combat. The battle was fierce and chaotic, spells and skills colliding as players fought for their survival.
With each calculated strike of his sword, Kulas felt a surge of power coursing through him. His Lightning Edge glowed with energy as it cut through the enemies with precision, dealing damage that ranged from 500 to 1000 with critical hits. The red players were caught off guard, shocked by the sudden appearance of this powerful player.
As Kulas dealt a fatal blow to one of the red players, the rest hesitated, realizing that they were facing an adversary far stronger than they had anticipated. The red players' levels ranged from 5 to 7, and Kulas's level 7 Lightning Edge made a significant difference in combat.
Amidst the chaos, Kulas approached Snow Flower, his blade still humming with energy. He extended a hand to her, his eyes determined. "We'll fight them together," he said, his voice carrying a mix of resolve and camaraderie.
With newfound determination, Kulas and Snow Flower joined forces. They coordinated their attacks, utilizing their skills to exploit the weaknesses of the red players. Snow Flower's mastery over elemental magic complemented Kulas's swordsmanship, creating a potent synergy that turned the tide of the battle.
As spells and sword strikes clashed, Kulas couldn't help but feel a sense of unity with Snow Flower. Despite their different backgrounds and experiences, they were united in their determination to protect each other and overcome their adversaries.
With their combined efforts, they managed to defeat the remaining red players. The virtual world echoed with the sounds of victory as the defeated players vanished, leaving behind a sense of triumph and relief. Snow Flower looked at Kulas, gratitude and respect gleaming in her eyes.
"Thank you," she said, her voice soft but sincere.
Kulas smiled, his heart pounding with a mixture of accomplishment and camaraderie. "We're in this together," he replied, a new bond forged through the heat of battle.
