ThievingHeaven

Hutson, a man reborn into a ruthless and dangerous world, now inhabits the body of a young hunter in a small barony. With no connections and nothing to his name, he must rely on his sharp mind and cunning to rise through a medieval-like society. As he climbs the social ladder, he uncovers a terrifying truth: wizards, beings far more powerful than any knight or noble, rule over the world. Driven by this discovery, Hutson throws himself into the pursuit of wizardry—a path darker and more brutal than he could ever have imagined. In a world where betrayal lurks around every corner, Hutson seeks what all others desire: immortality. With his intellect and ruthlessness, he will stop at nothing to claim it for himself.

Images flickered through Hutson's mind in a rapid blur, his blood surging, his pulse hammering in his veins.

He shut his eyes, drawing in a slow breath before sinking once more into meditation, willing his turbulent emotions to settle.

After nearly ten, a sense of calm finally returned.

"Compared to most potions, this so-called side effect is barely an inconvenience. At worst, it just means spending a little extra time in meditation."

Overall, Hutson was more than satisfied with the Astral Elixir's effects. Meditation itself was a powerful tool for maintaining emotional equilibrium—given enough time, any restlessness could be suppressed.

Of course, there were… other ways to deal with such impulses.

But meditation was a necessity for him—an unshakable discipline. He had no intention of wasting two or three hours every day on distractions. It was simply inefficient.
