Ancient Alchemist - [ Chapter - 16 ]

Hyun Ki started screaming cause he thought his body was turning into stone but then he realized he could still move his body and so he quickly went to see what he looked like and then he saw a little fountain.

He quickly ran towards to checked what he looked like his body looked like he was made of stone and his eyes were pure light blue, he was a bit confused at how the ability works so he checked it's description.

It said it was an ability that allows the user to make the user statue like and it increases ancient energy by 100 folds, Hyun Ki didn't know what ancient energy was but then he noticed next to the man's body was a book.

So he went up to it and picked it up and then started reading it and it was full of unknown letters and words but there were just descriptions to it and it said fire, water and all the other elements and other stuff as well.

Hyun Ki still didn't understand what he needed to do but then he realized whenever he pointed his finger a light blue stream of light would appear out like he was writing in the air and he thought to try and copy the letters in the book.

Then he wrote the one with the description of fire and when he finished writing it, it dissipated and then a strong fire appeared out of nowhere and then Hyun Ki realized something and so he tried writing the other letters.

So then he did and it had the effects of what the description in the book was, Hyun Ki realized it was a manual on his ability and so he kept it in his inventory for now but he was still really happy about this.

Since he could now use something like magic so Hyun Ki was even more curious about the Ancient Alchemist since he was using an ability that hasn't even been heard of since it was pretty similar to magic.

After that Hyun Ki deactivated the ability then started looking for a way out and after a while of looking there was this huge symbol on the ground and Hyun Ki noticed it looked familiar and so he checked the book.

Then after flipping through the book for a bit he then saw the same symbol but with just a few lines missing and Hyun Ki saw that it was a teleportation symbol and it teleports the user to the place it was set.

So then Hyun Ki decided to take the chance to see if it could take him back and then he activated the ancient body ability then his body turned again to look like a statue then he started to complete the symbol.

Hyun Ki then activated the symbol and then he was teleported again and then when he opened his eyes he started hearing Ji-Ho and Ah-In and then he hears Ji-Ho shout, "Hyun Ki! Where are you?!?".

So then Hyun Ki looked around the corner and found them searching for him and then he went up behind them and then he said, "Right here." both of them got shocked since he was suddenly behind him.

But then Ah-In asked, "Where were you?", then Hyun Ki said, "That's too long, let me just show you." then Hyun Ki activated the ancient body ability and then started writing the symbols in the air.

After he finished writing a huge tornado of elements appeared and then both Ji-Ho and Ah-In shouted, "You can use magic now?!?", so then Ji-Ho continued and asked, "How did you learn magic? Teach me! PLEASE!".

Hyun Ki chuckled and then said, "It was a hidden NPC for only the Alchemist class so you couldn't do what I did, again, even if you could your not an Alchemist Class.", then Ji-Ho's face became sad because of that.

Ah-In was comforting him and Hyun Ki was really happy about his new ability but then Ji-Ho shouted, "I will find a hidden NPC for the blacksmith class!" Hyun Ki was confused and then Ah-In told her what she said.

She said to Ji-Ho he could try to look for a blacksmith class hidden NPC and Hyun Ki wouldn't be able to get it and so this made Hyun Ki chuckled but Ji-Ho was fully determined to find a hidden NPC for his class.

So then after that Ji-Ho was searching every inch of the ruins again and after searching for over an hour they found nothing, Ah-In and Hyun Ki were tired of searching but Ji-Ho was too determined to give up.

Then after 30 minutes he stopped looking was now back to being sad and moping in the corner and Hyun Ki didn't like seeing this so he came up to him and then said, "Hey, cheer up Ji-Ho.".

He then continued and said, "Maybe this was an Alchemist's ruin and if we keep searching we might find one that fits your class." after saying that he was now again fully determined and started searching again.

As they were about to leave Hyun Ki noticed something on the wall, it was a gem and it was glowing for him only this time so before leaving he took it and put it into his inventory and then they continued searching.

After a while they didn't find anything at all and it looked like they would need to go higher up the floors to find more stuff or they need to look for anything hidden again and Ji-Ho now had to leave.

He was a bit sad as he left since he didn't get anything amazing but he did level up a bunch and Ah-In had to leave as well to reasons she didn't want to share and so Hyun Ki continued playing on his own.

And he decided that he would leave the tower first and so he did and went back to his house to fully check out everything he got and so after getting home he put everything out of his inventory and checked.

Not that much was new except for the Gem he took and so he decided to appraise it and when he did it was called an "Alchemist Gem", so he was actually right about it being an Alchemist's ruin even though he just said that to help Ji-Ho feel better.

He looked even more into the description and it said, "Owner: Ancient Body Ability Holder" so then Hyun Ki was actually the owner of the stone now since the the ability was unique and so he was curious to as what does it mean.
