Chapter 12:The Hunter and A New Problem Arise

Quickly 3 days passed and one could see Adryan at home looking at his table that was full of ingredients...

The supplementary ingredients had been very easy to get, he only had to go to a pharmaceutical store to get them and he got the July Wine Juice from a bar.

While the Panther Blood crystal had to go to a jewelry store.

The only ingredient that was a problem was the blood of the Abyss Demon Fish, but after going to a port and promising a fisherman 30 pounds to get it for him, he brought it to him the next day.

"Money certainly moves the world," Adryan murmured, looking at the blood in the vial on the table.

It was blackish with a dark aura, according to the fisherman, the blood of this fish could be used to make a poison capable of killing a horse in less than 3 minutes.

Sighing, Adryan went to his kitchen and took out a pot from it, after washing it deeply and waiting for it to dry, he placed it on the table.

Guided by the book, the first thing he placed were the supplementary ingredients: the 100 milliliters of purified water, then he placed the 7 red mint leaves, the 9 grams of dragon grass powder, and the 5 drops of July Wine Juice.

When the last drop of the juice fell into the liquid it quickly turned brown.

Now came the main ingredients...

Adryan grabbed the vial with the Abyss Demon Fish's blood and poured it into the pot.

This caused the previous brown liquid to turn black and very thick.

Quickly Adryan grabbed the last ingredient which was the Panther Blood crystal and placed it in the pot.

At first, nothing happened, the red crystal remained floating in the thick black liquid without changing anything, this scared Adryan a lot, thinking that when placing the ingredients he had made a mistake.

But suddenly the crystal was rapidly melting into the black liquid causing it to turn reddish brown and become more liquid.

Realizing that the potion was ready, Adryan grabbed the pot and poured the finished potion into a cup he had ready.

And just like in the book, there wasn't a remnant of the potion left in the pot.

Holding the potion in his hands, Adryan's heart was beating with great force.

Once he drank this, his life could never be normal and he would live the rest of his life on the edge of the abyss.

But this is already a crazy world that is rapidly falling into the same abyss.

Why better than waiting for the Gods to protect him when the end comes...

Wouldn't it be better for him to have the power to protect himself when the abyss falls on this world?

Adryan quickly closed his eyes and began to meditate to calm his anxiety.

This caused him not to see how the yellowish smoke that had entered his body while he was sleeping quickly entered the potion making it somewhat brighter...

When Adryan decided that he was ready, he drank the potion without noticing that it was a little brighter than before.

The potion was so thick it seemed to stick to the throat and had an extremely bitter taste that made Adryan almost spit it out.

But he ignored this discomfort and swallowed the entire potion, leaving nothing in the cup.

He almost immediately felt his body begin to heat up rapidly so he entered a lotus meditation posture.

He quickly began to outline a sphere of light in his mind as he felt his body heat up even more and he began to feel pain.

When he thought that his body couldn't get any warmer and the pain threatened to take him out of the meditative state, it diminished rapidly.

When the pain disappeared, he still did not come out of the meditative state but decided to wait a little longer.

Suddenly the sphere of light that he was outlining in his mind disappeared and was replaced by a large city that had yellowish smoke around it.

Adryan found himself standing in the doorway admiring this strange city.

'This city is very similar to Asunción in my previous life...wait, what's happening? I was supposed to be meditating to accommodate the potion'-Adryan thought alarmed when he realized that something had gone wrong, he shouldn't be here.

Adryan could see that it also seemed to be inhabited by human-like beings.

These seemed to be beings of fire dressed in rusty red armor that patrolled the city, protecting it from any threat that would approach.

Suddenly all these beings stopped their patrol, turned to look at Adryan, and made a military salute towards him.

This causes his meditation state to be broken and he returned to his body.

"What was that?" - was the first thing that Adryan said to the air but when he saw that he had returned to his body, he calm down a little.

Feeling his body, Adryan noted that he had grown much stronger physically and his senses had become sharper.

Looking around him he suddenly got multiple ideas for setting traps around and inside his house.

"So this is a beyonder"

As he said that he clenched his fist feeling the new strength that he now possessed.

Smelling stinky Adryan went to his bathroom.

He was covered in sweat and had a strong odor so he went to take a shower.

Coming out of his shower, Adryan walks into his room with a towel around his waist and looks at himself in his bedroom mirror.

Adryan was quite tall at a proud 1.84m.

His body was already muscular, only now he looks stronger than before and he had several scars all over it and his necklace was hanging on his chest.

Looking at his face, Adryan could tell that he was quite handsome and his reddish-brown eyes and red hair gave him an exotic touch.

Putting on a pair of pants, Adryan sat on his bed and thought about what he had seen in his meditation.

'If I'm not mistaken, that should be the City of Calamities, but how is it possible?'

'Isn't it supposed to be sealed in the western continent?'

'And how did I accommodate it so easily?'

'Am I the plan B of some unknown existence that was able to take me out of my world and bring me here?'

Knowing that the more he tried to understand what was happening could end up killing him, Adryan could only put it in the back of his mind and deal with it later.

'The problem now will be to digest the potion as quickly as possible before some 'witch' is attracted to me.'

'A decent part of the potion is already digested, it must be from the trap against Tames and how I killed him'

'So, one of the rules of acting for the "hunter" is to know your prey well, set a trap according to the prey and hunt the prey?'

Sensing a slight hint of digestion, Adryan knew he was correct and quickly changed into his suit and headed to Bravehearts Bar.

It was time to act...
