Mana Minipulation

After hearing that Brad could only shake his head. "Could you show me where I will be staying buddy."

"Oh sure thing Brad" Jarred said as he started to walk back up the stairs. going down the hall on the left Jarred stopped and said this is my room okay, so I will put you in the guest room across from me."

Opening the door Brad was greeted with a king size matress, a large closet and a shower and bathroom to his right. This was bigger than he had ever imagined a room could be. After thanking Jarred, Brad walked and laid on the bed. 'I guess I should get used to this kinda lifestyle quick for the next month.' He thought as he put back on the headband.

.....

Warping back into the shack the old monk re awoke and looked at Brad. "Problems in your world?" He asked. Nodding his head Brad apologized to the old man.

"I'm sorry about that, here is all you requested." Handing over all that wss required of the mission Brad noticed that the old man didnt take any of it.

Looking up he saw the old man with a smile on his face. "To be honest boy none of those things can heal me they are for you I plan on giving you some gifts."

Shocked Brad didn't understand the old monks motives. As promised though Brad received his rewards from the system.

Skill book: alchemy acquired.

Ding~

Would you like to make alchemy your new subclass?

Clicking yes Brad still wasn't sure what was going on. "Okay now heres the deal young one" the monk said. "Hand me the pelt and then go over to that pot over the fire."

Doing as he was told he walked over to the pot.

"Now place all the mushrooms and healing grass into the pot." Doing so Brad then put the lid back on. "Now manipulate your mana outwards to fuel the flames." Hearing this Brad was stumped, he had never heard of mana manipulation let alone how to do it.

Almost as if reading his mind the monk said, "you manipulate mana outside your body the same way you can do your skills such as Crescent slash, the difference is now you have to master it fully."

Nervous Brad could only give it a try. Closing his eyes he pictured the mana flowing withing him to go to his hands, once the mana was there he wanted it to seep out at a constant pace till the fire was perfect.

After a few minutes of trying this the mana started to come out of his hands, surprised by how quick he picked that up the old monk could only smile.

10 minutes had past and the old monk finally told him to stop. Opening his eyes Brad looked at the pot and then his hands. He was much more confident in his mana manipulation now than before. Opening up the pot he noticed all the items were gone and replaced with a blood colored liquid.

"Now place 4 glass vials from the cabinet into the pot." The old man said. Listening to him Brad got up and did as he was told. After he done so he opened the top back up to see all the vials were now filled with the liquid.

Picking up one of them he was surprised when the system said.

Ding~

Congratulations on making a healing potion, would you like your name to be in the server announcement. Saying yes because why not the system then sent out the announcement.

System Announcement~

Congratulations to Chaos for being the first person to learn and craft a item through alchemy. He will be rewarded one grey recipe and 5 gold coins.

Hearing the system Brad was surprised at his rewards. He had just finished making his very first potions and they were already giving him a new one.

Looking into his bag Brad saw the new recipe it was for a beserker potion.

....

Berserker Potion:

When drank it gives the user a 50% increase for 1 hour. Can be stacked twice, after hour is over the player enters a weak state where all stats are -25%. Ingredients: ????, ????, ????

....

Whoa Brad said as he looked at it only to loose interest when he saw the Ingredients.

"Don't be surprised the Ingredients are probably on the main continent young one." The old monk chimmed in. Looking over Brsd was shocked to see that the pelt had become a golden cape with red roses ingraved into the pelt.

"Here you are." The old monk said.

Cape of Thorns

Rarity: Silver

Evolvable

Made from the hide of the Golden boar and infused with a Rose monster the cape provides +35 to defense.

Passive ability: When struck in the back of the cape opponent will hit the bristles and thorns hidden within the fur. deals 50 damage per second for 5 seconds.

Active ability: When player is low on health the inner side of the cape will prick and inject a healing potion into the player. Requires the roses on the outside to be filled with a potion to refuel.

Looking at the back Brad saw 4 roses. Placing the cape down Brad dumped all of his new potions onto the roses. The next moment the roses were bright red and made the cape look stunning.

Smiling the old man looked at him and said "there is a couple of more things I can give you before I go. First, the key you have is for a hidden telaporation to get to the main continent quicker it requires all 4 keys to enter though. Second that stick in your bag isn't just a stick try using your mana on it and see. Third, here you go."

After saying that The old monks eyes began to glow and Brad instinctively closed his eyes to the brightness. When he opened them up he saw the old monks eyes where covered in a cloth. But what surprised him was the weird glowing around his body, it was shaped like the yin yang fishes slowly rotating behind his back.

Seeing Brads confusion the old monk explained, "As a gift I gave you my eyes, I am old and not as spunky as I used to be, take them and see the world in a different view young one. As for my last thing, this body is just a part of my true one, I left parts of me all around the world in search of you boy. Follow my path and meet me in person, we can enjoy our meeting when I see you for real, my next body is on the main continent near the entrance, find it then proceed to find the rest. Goodbye."

After all that was said Brad was telaported out and back to the edge of the woods near the village.
