Through rapid evolution, the rabbit gains physical abilities that enable it to become the most dominant creature in the wild. But during this process, it lost its intelligence.
It started to attack anything moving within his line of sight. The rabbit also lost his hearing ability.
After losing his hearing and becoming mindless, more and more problems started surfacing in the rabbit as time went on.
On day 6, the rabbit started eating food 100x its body weight. It spends a large majority of its time eating food.
On day 7, it broke out of its cage and started feasting on any living being in the area. Before Welson caught wind of the situation, more than 3 servants were attacked, killed and eaten by the rabbit.
On day 8, the rabbit started entering hibernations ranging from anywhere between 8 hours to 12 hours. As time passed, the hibernation periods were prolonged.
On day 12, it went into hibernation and hasn't come out of it since then.
Knowing the effects of Mana, Welson started looking for safe ways to incorporate pure Mana into complex vessels, like humans and wild animals.
So, he experimented with different methods. Like showering pure Mana onto a rabbit, adding it to the water and letting the rabbit drink it or directing feeding pure Mana to a rabbit.
Of the three cases, showering the rabbit with Mana had the least effect. Aside from showing signs of improved health and enhanced senses the rabbit didn't go through any major change.
The main reason behind it was the limited amount of pure Mana.
Mixing Mana with the water had the best effect. Upon drinking water, the rabbit started showing signs of rapid evolution. Its size just increased by a few inches and it gains a lot of muscle mass in a few hours.
But one of its legs didn't do so well, it was a few centimetres shorter than the other.
As for the last cases of directly feeding a rabbit pure Mana, well it enlarged the rabbit's stomach which gave the rabbit known digestive abilities.
After doing so many experiments with pure Mana, Welson understood a few things. Injecting a being with pure Mana does have amazing effects but I also have its side effects.
Mana is like an acceleration agent. If Mana enters the body of a biological creature, it causes the cells to undergo rapid evolution. But this evolution is random and it can cause more harm than good.
So, before entering the body, the Mana needs a kind of blueprint. So, it doesn't cause the body to go through unwanted evolution. Thus he started looking for something that could help.
In this process, his ability [All Knowing] helped a lot. The ability [All Knowing] can tell him all the details of an object he sees.
His ability is like a supercomputer where all the knowledge of the world is stored. To exceed that knowledge, he just needs to look at the thing and all its recorded data will appear before his eyes.
Due to this ability, he became one of the top Alchemists in the country in just 8 months after becoming awakened. This ability was the reason he started searching for ways to strengthen one's ability in the first place.
Unfortunately, his abilities don't work on Mana. Otherwise, things would have worked out a lot better.
After spending a couple of months, creating countless potions mixed with different herbs, plants and pure Mana, Welson succeeded.
[Enchanted Strength Potion
Effects: Can increase a person's physical attributes by 10-15 points.
Hidden Effect: Has a small chance of awakening one's innate ability.]
Upon seeing the effects of the newest potion he created, Welson was overjoyed. After brainstorming for 9 months and spending countless hours in research and experimentation, he finally achieved something.
The effects of increasing one's physical attributes by 10-15 points was already a game changer. But the potion also has a chance of awakening one's ability. Which was nothing less than raining gold.
Excited, Welson shared the good news with everyone. Before long the news reached the ears of other branch heads. In a matter of hours, his house was crowded by 5 branch heads.
At first, they acted courteous and just wanted to try out his newest potion. Upon experiencing the effects of the potion they were amazed and started kissing up to him.
But when they heard about his plan of releasing the potion formula to the public, their attitude took a 180-degree turn.
They advised him to think about it before taking such a big step. Saying things like, he likes researching so much, which costs a lot of money. The clan can produce this potion and sell it to the public, this way he doesn't have to work and can easily focus on his studies. In fact, in a few months, he will be sitting back and counting his money.
But when they saw his resolve of disclosing the potion formula to the public. They used their authority as branch leaders to stop him from releasing the potion to the public until the clan decides what to do with it.
Upon this turn of events, Welson was shocked. He couldn't believe his clan had changed so much in just two years.
The Olson Clan has 10 branches and the leaders of these branches decide everything in the Clan. Unfortunately, the branch leaders do possess the power to stop him from ever releasing the potion formula to the public.
After asking his brother about the attitude of other branch leaders, he was further disappointed in his clan.
It seems, aside from his brother and two other branch leaders, all of them had the same idea of monopolizing the potion.
Knowing how to deal with greedy branch leaders, Welson requested for Elders' intervention. Aside from branch leaders, Elders have the most power in the clan.
They are responsible for upholding clan rules and traditions. They are a group of law enforcers for the clan.
If one feels, the branch leaders are being unfair they can call upon the Elders. The Elders will listen to the arguments of both plaintiffs and then branch leaders before deciding on the matter.
They can support the branch leaders or choose to stand by the plaintiff. Either way, at least now he had a chance to fight for what he believes.
Before involving Elders, it would only be a branch leader deciding what he can and can't do with his potion formula. But since he got the Elders involved, things would be different now.
Instead of branch leaders doing whatever they please, the case will be represented before the Elder. They would decide what to do with the potion he created.
