Pretty much, I spend all of my time locked in the public workshop, researching and improving my potions.
I did take some time and resources, BUT! I managed to upgrade my potions to rare rarity!
Well, I did spend days and all, but it was worth it.
However, as for the [Weed Dragon Potion]? It got better, but it's still rare. I tried everything, but nothing gave the better results than the current version.
Weird. How much difference there must be for the potion to become epic in terms of rarity?
Maybe I need the materials from the boss monsters and use small rations of it to create the epic rarity potion?
….
Well, it doesn't matter now.
Thanks to the days of hunting, I have both money and materials.
So now all that is left is produce goods.
The weed dragon related potions take time since before I can even make them, I need to precede the materials from the weed dragon to the useable state.
It was taking time, but my [Alchemy] skill was leveling up.
Not only I was making way better potions, but also potions of the higher rarity at that, so everything was smooth sailing right now.
I have already made a lot of potions and I think I may try and sell some of them to the guards.
If that won't work, then I can just wait for more players to show up so I can start doing business and gain back the money I lost while doing my alchemy research and other stuff.
Anyway, as planned, I continue mass produce the potions while also researching them.
AND FUKING FINALY!
[Skill [Alchemy] has reached level 10!]
"FUKING FINALY!"
"…"
"Em…." – said the worker at public workshop that was passing by while carrying some materials to the storage.
"!"
"S-sorry!" – said Phantasia.
"…" – the worker walked away quietly.
"…"
(Anyway.)
(FUCK YEA!)
(I was waiting for it for so long!)
"[Open Status]!"
(Put all the points I can into the [Alchemist] class!)
[Alchemist has reached level 100.]
(Now that the conditions have been meet! I can put all the remaining points into experiment!)
[Chaos Researcher: First Research – [Plague] has reached level 25.]
[Skill [Plague Aura] has been upgraded: (+3) -> (+5)]
[Skill [Plague Creation] has been upgraded: (+16) -> (+17)]
[You have gained new skill: [Plague Zone]
[Plague Mania]
[Active] – [Cost: 500 MP + {Depends} MP per second] – [Cooldown: 24 hours] – [Type: Poison / Aura]
[When the skill is activated, it will created an aura effect around the user in all directions that has 2 different effect.]
[1 – Enemies around you who are affected with poison or plagued effects that were caused by you will take B%. B is equal to the skill level times 3. Only affects the damage over time effects. Leaving the aura range instantly remove this effect and returns the damage dealt by the overtime effects to normal.]
[The size of the aura depends on the skill level. Aura range: C meters. C is equal to the skill level times 2 + 10 meters.]
[2 – The enemies that are hit by your poison type effect or plague type effect will have an extended duration by D%. D is equal to skill level times 1. The effect only affects enemies inside the aura. Even if the enemies leave the aura range, they will still suffer from the extended duration that they got while being in the aura range. If the enemy enters the aura range while being under the effect of the negative effect you put, they will suffer from the extended duration effect, but the effect duration will be not based on the effect total duration but instead remaining duration if it wasn't originally put while inside the aura.
[The skill has a time limit that it can kept up and while the skill is active it will continuously use the user MP.]
(…Hm…. On paper it sound good.)
(it's like the [Plague Aura], but much stronger. Not only that, it should work well with the plague aura.)
(It doesn't sound that scary at first, but with leveling up it will be kind of broken.)
(But still…. I was honestly expecting…. Something more broken?)
(Well, I did used a lot of class points and all…... Hm… Maybe it isn't that bad?)
(The first effects only increase my damage over time effect, but it can reach 30% increase at level 10. With poison mage being specialized in damage over time, it's quite broken.)
(The second effect that extend duration of the effect is also good, quite weak right now, pretty trash, but okay once it levels up.)
(The two effects work well with each other.)
(This skill is quiet "Meh", but once it levels up it will be good.)
(But, to use it to its full poetical I need level it up AND I need to have useful plague that can deal a lot of damage to harass this skill, for example a plague that only focuses on damage and not spreading maybe? But the plagues are about infection…. Shit. Its problematic.)
(But the cost…. It's annoying.)
(500 MP isn't a small cost and it also eats MP every second.)
(Well, this skill also has a big range and all. At level 10 its 30 meters in all directions.)
(This skills seems to be extremely draining.)
(I may have over 2000 MP now, but common, its not infinity for crying out loud.)
(….)
(Right now, I can only use that skill for short moment…. But that skill is only useful AND only useful in long combat.)
(….)
(My current poison skills are not like hard hitting over time, but the ones with long duration.)
(….)
(Fuck it. We will see later how effective this is.)
(For now, lets focus on the other thing!)
[The first experiment: [Plague] has been finished.]
[The conditions has all meet.]
[The [Chaos Researcher] has evolved after meeting conditions.]
[The [Chaos Research] had become an uncommon rarity class.]
[The second research is available.]
[The second research information:
-1 word.
-3 classes – Max rarity: Common.]
(I can finally start the second research!)
(….)
(Okay…. FUCK!)
(I can't calm down!)
(The [Chaos Research] is way more fun than I thought!)
(NO!)
(CALM THE FUCK DOWN!) – though Phantasia while grabbing his head like a mad man, trying to calm down.
"…."
(Okay…. I think I'm calm?)
(….)
(Maybe?)
(….)
(A-anyway!)
(I need to be extremely difficult.)
(The words and classes I can use will influence what I get 100%)
(I only got 3 skills from the [Plague] research, but all of them work well with each other and my [Poison Mage].)
(Not only that, the class got upgraded after becoming uncommon rarity.)
(I can now select 3 classes, well only common rarity classes, that didn't change.)
(….)
(Now here comes the hard part…. What I should try and create.)
(Both the classes and word need to work together well.)
(And when I meant classes, I didn't only meant the word, but also the possible combination between them.)
(Having now ability to chose 3 classes will make the class stronger, but it also complicate things.)
"…."
[Alchemist]
[Tamer]
[Necromancer]
[Blacksmith]
[Summoner]
[Poison Mage]
(Those are my current classes…. But can I use them?)
(….)
[Chosen class(es): [Poison Mage], [Alchemist], [Necromancer].]
[Chosen word(s): [Plague].]
[Combination Possible.]
(So, I can do it again, huh?)
(….)
(But I don't want to.)
(Choosing the second experiment to be the plague will be stupid. I need some strength…. But!)
(The [Plague] research has gave the class special ability to grow A.K.A [Plague Creation]. An ability that can make stronger plague with better materials.)
(Honestly, I would like to have my second class to also grow stronger, not only as it gains levels, but also as more times passes and specific conditions are meet.)
(The [Alchemist] gave that ability to the [Plague] research.)
(But can I get that kind of effect with the second research?)
(….)
(Lets first go over possible combinations I can make.)
([Tamer], [Necromancer] and [Summoner] are all monster related classes about having monsters on your side with also the [Necromancer] being mage class.)
(The [Poison Mage], an offensive depuffing mage class.)
([Alchemist] and [Blacksmith] both being production classes.)
(I have a lot of class points saved up, so I can maybe get a 1 new class or something…. But should I? having more classes means that I have to use more of my class points.)
(Is it possible to make something I have at hand right now?)
(I definitely don't want something like the [Plague] research and class more about combat or something.)
(….)
(I have only 2 mage type classes. Maybe I can combine them with word [Assault] or maybe [Ambush]?)
(No wait, I have to pick 3 classes and depending on what word I pick, the results may differ by a lot.)
(Fuck me. Its way harder than I though.)
(….)
(I have 3 classes with same nature in a way, Tamer], [Necromancer] and [Summoner].)
(Should I pick them?)
(But what word would fit them? Maybe just [Monster]? But what I would get this way?)
(….)
(Fuck me. I don't it would work the way I want to.)
(If only I could create them like the plague or….)
(….)
"Wait a fuking second."
"CREATE?!" – shouted Phantasia while suddenly getting up from his chair.
(Right! I thought about that before!)
(Homologous!)
(If I can use alchemy to…. Nah. That wouldn't work.)
(It would end up the same way as plague.)
(Homologous are creatures created using alchemy, right? Then I would have need to gather materials.
(Good plan, but I wouldn't be able to use it NOW for a long time.)
(So that is nope.)
(The [Alchemist] and the [Blacksmith] maybe a good idea to add since it would give me maybe ability to create monsters, but what word I would need to choose?)
(Homologous is straight up no.)
(Is there anything like in mythology or something else about manmade monsters or something?)
(….)
(Golem?)
(Good idea, but how would that work?)
(…. Maybe if I learned [Earth Mage] I could maybe make it work?)
(But what monster related classes I could use?)
(Maybe [Summoner]?)
(…. Nah. [Summoner] is about summoning monsters, so I would probably get some sort of summoned golem monster, it theory it could even work with [Poison Mage].)
([Tamer] is also a nope for obvious reasons.)
([Necromancer]?)
(….)
(How would that work?)
(Mix corpse into the dirt and make into a corpse slash rock monster?)
(But how would that work? Would the power of the monster depend on the corpse used?)
(….)
(Wait…. Corpse?)
"!"
Phantasia began walking in the circles inside the public workshop.
"What was that thing name? Fuck me, it was an classic -!"
"Frankenstein!"
(Well not Frankenstein, but the Frankenstein monster.)
(It was monster that was stitched together and then bringed to the life with thunder, right?)
(But was that guy made using different body parts or was he an entire human body that got repaired?)
(It doesn't matter.)
(What matters is the one fact that got my attention.)
"Stitched together."
(If the monster was really stitched together using different body parts, then why don't I use similar method, but instead use different monster body parts together?!)
(!)
"I FUKING GOT IT!"
(There are many monsters in the mythology and games where the monsters are 2 or more animals or beings combined.)
(But when it comes to all of them, there is 1 perfect word that describe them all as well as its a word that represent one of the most well known monsters made out of the many different animal parts.)
(Chimera!)
(This is the world I was aiming for!)
(If I use the [Chimera] as the word, then I may get ability to combine monsters! And that in turn will allow me to create stronger monsters as times goes by!)
(And I have already 3 classes that can work well with this plan!)
[Chosen class(es): [Necromancer], [Tamer], [Alchemist].]
[Chosen word(s): [Chimera].]
[Combination Possible.]
[Processing.]
[….]
[Combination of classes: [Necromancer], [Tamer], [Alchemist].] and word [Chimera] possible.]
[Do you wish to use the combination?]
(The [Tamer] since it's a class all about controlling monsters.)
(The [Necromancer] since it may allow me to bring back the body parts to life.)
(And the [Alchemist] that will bring the concept of creating as well as an ability to fuse the body parts together, creating a new body.)
(If we combine all 3 words, I should get an ability to control manmade monster I made myself!)
"Fuking yes and don't even ask me again!"
[The class structure is being created.]
[Nature and aspect of the [Necromancer], [Tamer] and [Alchemist] classes are fusing.]
[The word [Chimera] is mutating and shaping power of the three classes.]
[All materials are being torn to shreds and remade a new.]
[The results are fusing together and taking on the new form. The main aspect of each class is being fused alongside the chosen word.]
[The [Chaos Researcher] has began mutating and taking form.]
[…]

[Process completed.]
[The [Chaos Researcher] has been turned into [Chaos Researcher: Second Research – [Chimera].]
