Chapter 8 - Chapter 7: Fallen Potion God

[You have failed in crafting a potion]

[You have failed in crafting a potion]

[You have failed in crafting a potion]

...

This was all I saw for the past few days.

It was tiring, repeatedly failing in something...if I didn't keep reminding myself that this would help me in the future, and that this is crucial if I want to see any of the main characters easily, I wouldn't have used this method.

However, all the fatigue I builded up was gone when I had seen this message.

[You have attracted the attention of a fallen god]

This was what I saw when I reached 600 failures.

Normally, the elves would see the text at 400 failures, but since I am not an elf, the god probably took longer to sense what was going on.

[The fallen god is astonished by what you are doing]

[The fallen god is hoping for your perseverance]

The reason why he was astonished is simple. Currently, the only people who know how to attract the attention of this 'Fallen God' are the elves. They do it through the repeated failures.

However, from the God's Point Of View, I, a human, should not know this method, so the god thinks that I am doing this out of my own will, not because I am told to, like the elves.

When I reached 800 failures, I saw another text.

[The fallen god is touched by your perseverance, he blesses you to have more will to go on]

[Mana stat has increased by 5]

I felt additional mana seeping into my bloodstream, and rejuvenate my body.

'It's working,'I thought to myself. This was my plan all along.

A fallen god, similar to what the name says, it is a being who has reached godhood, but fell due to whatever circumstances.

This specific fallen god, the previous, God Of Potions, fell after failing to create a specific potion. He gambled everything into the potion, all his money, herbs, and even his own body and soul, only to end up failing.

Devastated, he was forced to become a fallen god.

Now he goes around the cosmos, blessing people who try ridiculous things like him, in the name of potions.

What I am doing right now, is also what the Fallen God of potion making had done before, but he did it expecting no reward, solely in the pursuit of potion making.

He never had talent in potion making, but he believes that talent is not everything, and in potion making, repetition is good, so he blesses people who are doing the crazy stunts I am.

And after the 1 thousandth failure, I saw what I had been trying so hard for.

[You have failed in crafting a potion]

[You have failed in crafting a potion 1 thousand times]

[The Fallen God pities you, the fallen god asks if you truly want to walk on the depressing path which is potion making]

I wiped some sweat off of my forehead and smiled slightly. I created potion making, I know every major potion recipe which I will need to use in the future, so why would I be scared? Even if I didn't know the recipes, the blessing you are about to give me will help me have plenty of them!

"I do, to save my mother, and to live a peaceful life," I said. God's like sob stories, makes them want to bless you even more.

[The Fallen God is happy with your conviction, he blesses you in the way of potion making.]

[A skill has been given to you]

[Active Skill: Potion Making

Rank: Legendary

LVL:1

Main Ability: When activated, this skill will allow the user to have the demeanor and knowledge of a Legendary Ranked Potion Maker (Can make legendary Potions)

Cost: 10mp/min

Skill Evaluation: A skill which cannot grow past legend rank, even when Maxed out, but will put you above the masses when compared to other Potion Maker. An extremely good point about this skill is that the host has to barely use any mana ]

I was slightly disappointed, I only got a legendary rank, one of the main supporting cast had gotten a Epic rank blessing, but I was not complaining, legendary rank still will be extremely useful.

As for not being able to upgrade it, I am not too worried, I know at least 5 methods from the top of my head to upgrade a skill, so it will be fine.

"Now...I can finally sleep again." I thought as I fell asleep.

Unfortunately I missed an important text next, which I will come to know of soon.

[The fallen god has taken an interest in you, and will continue watching you in the future]

...

I slept for about 12 hours, and felt sore all over my body, so I used some of the replenishing potions I had left to get back into top condition.

I barely used half the potions I had, the remaining one's I have will be used for training in the way of the spear.

I then cleared up all the debris which was left from the potion making, and moved them to a side.

I will now be grinding for 1 month, with specific skill in mind.

"Oh, before that, should probably ask my dad for those eyeballs," I thought, as I wrote it down on a piece of paper, and passed it to a random maid to give my father.
