Ray enters the Profession Hall and heads over to the alchemy counter. On the counter is an excellent alchemy set, that consists of two glass beakers held by a glossy black metal frame, a super sleek glass stirring rod, a black granite mortar, and pestle, and a magical burner that can be turned off and on by waving your hand over the burner.
Athena is actively making the seed pouches at another counter.

Ray analyzes the potion of lesser healing.
Potion of lesser healing:
Heals for 20 hp.
Ray decides to assimilate the potion. After assimilating the potion Ray creates the potion of lesser healing. " Nothing happened!?" Said Ray.
"Athena how come I didn't get any XP or proficiency points after I used to create for a potion of lesser healing?" Asked Ray.
" Experience and proficiency points can only be gained by crafting a potion. That goes for all professions, Ray." Said, Athena.
"I see, crafting the item gives me XP and proficiency points and not my creative ability." Said Ray.
"That is correct Ray." Said, Athena.
Ray analyzes the potion of lesser healing potion.
Potion of lesser healing:
Heals for 25 Hp.
"Wow! Creating the potion of lesser healing improved the potency by five." Said Ray.
"Alright, I'll finish the materials that I have and call it a day." Said Ray. Ray makes nineteen successful potions of lesser healing. Ray gains 1,900 XP and nineteen proficiency points from crafting the potions. Ray collects his twenty potions of lesser healing and then assimilates them.
"Ray, the thirty seed pouches are completed." Said, Athena. "
"Great work Athena with these seeds my subordinates will become stronger. Where can we store them for now? Asked Ray.
"You could assimilate them or you could store them in the void vault. Said, Athena.
"Void vault? You never said anything about having a void vault." Said Ray.
"We never made to the void vault Ray." Said, Athena.
"Oh yeah! Your right Athena. What other facilities do we have in the void realm? Asked Ray.
"All facilities in the void realm, the seed and plant gardens, the training or coliseum grounds, the laboratory, the study and meditation hall, the quest hall, a stable, ancient gods shrine hall, a barracks, a dining hall, void vault, lords manor, and the teleportation platform. These are the current buildings for now more buildings will be created as the need arises." Said, Athena.
"The quest hall, that is very interesting to me Athena. How does it work? Asked Ray.
The quest hall generates level 1 - 100 quests. These quests are not system quests they are secondary or you can call them adventurer quests. You or your subordinates can take on the quests, if a subordinate completes a quest they get the quest rewards XP and gold coins and you get the skill points and attribute points. If you choose to complete a quest you get all the rewards. You can submit quests for your subordinates to complete as well. There is a ranking system... " Said, Athena.
"Ok that's good Athena, will discuss the ranking system at another time." Said Ray.
"Yes, Thorzen. Replied Athena.
"Athena let's head over to the quest hall." Said Ray.
Athena nods her head and follows Ray. The two enter the quest hall and Ray is amazed. The inside looks like a fancy hotel lobby. To the left, there are five comfy sofa seats and beautifully carved wooden coffee tables in front of each sofa. In front of the far wall, there is a counter with the quest board to the right of it. The right side of the hall has a long wooden bar with ten wooden stools and there are ten round wooden tables with four wooden chairs per table.
"Wow! All of the wood has an ornamental carving of different creatures. Dragons, unicorns, centaurs...., I wonder if they are from mythology or if they are real creatures from this world?" Said Ray.
"All the carvings are depictions of real creatures from this world. Said, Athena.
"Wow! So many different creatures from around the world." Said Ray.
"This is only a small sample of the varies species that live on this planet." Said, Athena.
Ray got a huge smile on his face.
"Someday Athena I will assimilate every species of this world Azeroc! Declared Ray.
Ray claps his hands. Smack! Athen looks at Ray and nods her head.
"Athena let's get a beer!" Said Ray.
"Sorry, Ray we don't have any alcohol." Said, Athena. Athena puts her head down.
"What! No alcohol! Why not Athena? Asked Ray.
"To make alcohol you either have to assimilate or make your alcohol." Said, Athena.
"Well have I assimilated any berries? What about malt or hops, does this world have any malt or hops?" Asked Ray.
"Yes you assimilated a variety of wild berries and yes this world has plants similar to malt and hops. The best berry for wine would be the Popping berry." Said, Athena.
"Popping berry? What is that?" Asked Ray.
"It's the bright pink berry that you assimilated." Said, Athena.
Ray opens up his panel and searches for the Popping berry. After scrolling through the various berries Ray finds the Popping berry.
Popping berry: Pink berries found in many regions of Azeroc can be consumed or made into wine. When squeezed the berry makes a popping sound.
"We can grow these Popping berries and make our wine. As for the malt and hops will have to acquire them so I can assimilate them. Well alright, when we get back to the village I'll have to create a brewery and have the villagers gather and plant the Popping berries. Athena, I want two brewmasters, so add the appropriate knowledge seeds to the seed pouches. Said Ray.
"Yes, Ray." Said, Athena.
Ray heads to the quest board. "What language is this written in and why can I read it?" Asked Ray.
"That's Azerocs common language, the human language. It originated from humans and has spread to other races. Most races speak common to some degree. All the different races have their languages but it helps to have a common language. You Ray can speak and understand different languages due to your assimilation ability. Eventually, you will be able to speak every language on this planet Ray." Said, Athena.
"That's right someday that will be true." Said Ray.
He looks over the available quests. "Hmm, this quest here.
Quest: Eliminate or capture Minotaurs. In the Abyss cavern lives a mob of twenty Minotaurs kill or capture them. 0/20. Rewards: 40,000 XP, 100 attribute points, 500 skill points, 5,000 gold coins.
"I'll take this quest." Said Ray.
Quest accepted.
"Athena let's head over to the void vault," Said Ray.
