I took the potion and the scroll but didn't use them there, it looks like the entire clan is in uproar after proclaiming me as the reincarnation or the second coming of the First Patriarch.
Baek Minseok was the name of the First Patriarch, I will have to research about my family more.
But I'm not complaining at my current circumstance at all, I was now in the training room, something I've owned apparently
[ Elixir of Life ]
[ Increases all stats by 20! ]
[ Can only be consumed once. ]
I immediately drank it without hesitation, stats matters! If I can get the edge because of stats I'll abuse it.
Now all that's left was the scroll.
[ Scroll of the Forgotten ]
[ Do you want to use item? ]
'Yes.'
[ Using Scroll! ]
[ Inheriting the skills and techniques hidden within! ]
[ The Scroll has discovered you are the descendant of the Heavenly Demon! ]
[ Unlocking the True Nature of The Scroll! ]
[ Scroll of The Forgotten has been renamed to The Curse of the Strong! ]
As the scroll blinded me with light I could feel the will of the First Patriarch encroach upon me.
[ Nine Profound Swords has been unlocked! ]
'Damn'
This is way more than I thought I would ever receive, let's use the first technique and gauge its abilities.
I took a sword from the left, it was just a basic sword, as if I had practiced it in a long time, I wielded it as if it was an extension of my arms now.
'First Sword : Shadow Strike'
It was just a simple slash, but I was a few meters away from the target yet, the training dummy was cut in half and even the wall had a new slash mark on it.
"So its this strong with just a little qi but I remember some characters had Qi instead of Mana, so what do I do now and only rare cases of with the two"
And I shuddered at the thought as I remembered that those types of characters were the main characters of their own story.
I then opened my Status page.
[ Baek Hyunjin : Descendant of the Heavenly Demon ( + ) ]
[ Strength : 35]
[ Agility : 35 ]
[Endurance : 50 ]
[ Mana : 35 ]
[ Luck : 45 ]
[ Qi : 170 ]
The Qi is absurdly high, but I guess as a descendant and those things I drank earlier, it should be possible.
So this means I can use Qi and Mana, although extremely rare and reserved for higher tiered characters that had dual cores that means I'm stronger than a supporting character?
No, that doesn't mean anything, I could have a strong start right now but I might fall off a bit later, some characters had weak early phases but made up for it in the latter stages.
Nonetheless I accepted what I would become and have gained.
"But since the game changed its story every time I chose a new character, I wonder what had changed this time?"
There were differences yes, but there were similarities as well, I'll find out by affirming something I have to get first to see if some of the items I've remembered and collected frequently are still available.
"But I don't know if I'll have to butter up some people and get the money, I'll have to ask my parents, tomorrow."
-
"You need money?"
I asked my father and mother while we were eating together, honestly this body only had memories of eating with the family, training and studying, this man had no other life.
Well he was or at least I was, didn't care about what my parents do but I still did love them I guess, even though it feels weird, they're my parents now.
"How much do you need?"
"I don't know, it depends how much you can give me"
Let's start with this first.
"Don't you have enough in your bank account or did you forget your pin again?"
"I think I did."
"Okay, I'll call someone to transfer your money to a new one."
With that we continued on eating, after an hour of waiting as I was returning to my room ready to search on the internet.
"Young Master, this is your new account, again, here are the details.
I received a text from Steward Yunho, and I immediately opened the new account.
[ Baek Hyunjin ]
[ 20 Billion Won ]
My eyes widened at the amount, its huge but not big enough to buy everything I want for now, but still, if this is my pocket money.
I looked at my room, now that I looked at it everything here looks branded and expensive.
Damn, am I a Chaebol?
-
"Young Master, this place, well the alchemists back in the clan can make the potion you want, does this have to be in this place?"
Steward Yunho followed me as we made our way into one of the markets in Daegu, apparently the household was located in Seoul, well the Academy was located there as well, but none of that matters.
"Just follow me."
I didn't say anything else as soon we arrived at perhaps a peculiar shop, it was not the most fanciest but rather it was plain in my eyes but I know the secrets behind it.
It had a sign that said [ The Great Yerim's Coolest Potion Shop! ]
As I stepped foot there were tons of potions, ingredients and recipe's being displayed, there was also a huge amount of doves as well as dogs and cats loitering around, finally there was a girl on the counter.
"Good morning! What can I do for you two?"
The small girl who looked about eight years old greeted us, she was sitting behind the counter and ate candies, while she was petting the dog that was laying around on the counter.
"I'd like to order potions."
"What type and how many?"
"Can I see the entire catalogue?"
"Sure!"
She stepped down and went the back, when she returned she presented it to me, I had to act like I was searching for a minute.
"I'd like the 'Randomizer Extreme', it costs around 1,000,000 won right?"
"How many?"
"10 thousand"
"That's such a big amount! That'll be 10 billion won!"
The child in front of me nodded, she then gave me a form to fill up.
"Please place your details here, if possible we would like you to pay 50% right now for assurance you aren't scamming us!"
"Steward Yunho, fill it up for me, use my account, you know the details and here is my phone please do the transaction."
"But!"
"Do it."
I said as I smiled at the child who smiled back at me giggling.
Steward Yunho did as he was told, after a short while he returned the phone to me and a notification popped up that I had lost 5 Billion Won in one go.
"Great! I have received the Payment, the shipment will be delivered tomorrow, thank you for your patronage Si- uhm, can I call you Oppa instead? I'm not good with names."
"Sure."
"Thank you once again Oppa!"
"Thank you as well Yerim-nim."
She giggled and smiled once again as we left, but right before I stepped out of the door, well her name tag was on her clothes.
"Oh wait! I almost forgot, I'm supposed to give you this gift since you've bought ten thousand potions already, it was supposed to be given to customers who had reached that amount since you bought a lot in one go take this as a freebie! This as well and this for talking with me!"
She ran again and when she returned she stepped out of the character and I took the three small box out of her hands.
"Thank you once again!"
"See you next time Oppa!"
"We'll see each other more often."
I then gave the boxes to Steward Yunho as we returned to the manor.
"Young Master, just who is that child?"
"Oh, she's the granddaughter of The Grand Witch.'
With that Steward Yunho finally shut up, yes forming ties with The Grand witch was the first of many steps to assure I would have a smooth sailing life.
"That crosses out one of my many things to do, now, onto to the next."
