24 hours later
Once again Lurix is inside the game. He looked around and thankfully there is no shouting and declaration of aggression this time. This time he finally manage to stay alive more than 5 seconds on this game. He sighed and looked around this time more carefully trying to guess where is he.
Did the AI send me in the middle of nowhere? He thought as all he can see is the vast green field around him with traces of battles not long ago. Armors, swords, maces, almost anything. Just that those things were broken and mostly unusable. He walked around and kicked some of the things unusable now. There were just decoration now. A display of the battle that happened not long ago. He sighed once again and started to guess his location.
"I got sent in Kallamore" He nodded. "But why the hell am I in the middle of the battle field!"
There will be penalties for this race! He remembered the warning that the system said but he never hoped that he would be sent right outside of a city or town. The system warned him that he will have a sour intimacy with churches but he never thought it would be this severe.
He forgot that every town and city is either a believer and followers of a church. Now that his race is that of a half vampire.. In the first place what is his actual race?

Lurix looked at his stats and angrily kicked the nearby broken helmet on the ground. "CURSE YOU!" he shouted to the skies as he saw the heavy penalties of his race. After a few childish tantrum of him, he finally calmed down and looked through the effects of his race.
"Well.. It is not so bad I guess." Perfect for what I plan. Specially the boost in stats and attack/defense during night.
He sighed and accepted his fate. No wonder he died the first time he entered the world. He was sent in one of the battle skirmish of Kallamore Kingdom and the Haven Kingdom. He looked to his inventory and found out he lost his rye breads and now he has no food. Only water and 10 copper left and his SSS Alchemy skill book. He took it out of his inventory and held it in his hand.
"Identify"
-Mad Alchemist Skill Book

"Got hot.. DAMN!" He screamed as he read the contents. He thought it was just like the legendary classes in Infinity online which grants the user to move mountains and rivers to the dumbest level but this one is so unique. He was satisfied and quite excited thinking what things he can make. But he also knows how dangerous it is and long he should work hard to replicate his dream skill. The dragon breath but not by converting into a half dragonic race. It was the only thing that makes his blood run wild while thinking about it.

The book disappeared from his hand visibly saw the increase of his mana pool.

He smiled and thought that he made the right decision choosing a book rather than a legendary sword which have a very high level requirement of 500.

"Hahahahaha" He gave a dry laugh. "I would surely wake the dragons soon..."
"Log out"
Aston got out of the capsule and opened his internet. Even though his class is that of a reckless, he is a cautious and calculative man and so he will remain the same Bas..Ahem.. man. He opened his PC and quickly searched through his darkest source on the things he would need to survive the world where only the shiniest of swords or the sturdiest of armor last or the deadly magic one can wield. He needs something so much more of a cheat than a sword and magic to slay his enemies.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
"okay.... How do I make a bomb..." He browsed while having an excited grin like a kid in the toy store. Once again he was being challenged and he was pushing through without knowing if it is possible to create the things he searched in the net in the first place. He was just following his desires to make something different and interesting once again. Not caring for the consequence of having those things in the first place. "Now to look for those materials on Royal Road... Let's see if it is possible"
He continued to search the web until midnight and when his body couldn't take it anymore, he slept while smiling.
The next day after the boring class as he always say, he quickly logged in to Royal Road and started to use his convert skill and reckless alchemy without care. He made some stupid things but all of them is for the sake of proficiency of the skill he will need to recreate the things he has in mind. He continued hiding in the darkness and avoiding monsters and players that were ridiculously strong. As expected of the Kallamore Kingdom players which continues to raid the surrounding monsters of level 200 at least. Hahaha I hope they would find him once so he will be interrupted but that is not what happened. Lurix was quite the slippery eel and always paid attention to his surrounding to avoid conflict. Having a chaotic status in mind, he would be killed just for fun since the player would not gain a murderer's mark if they kill a chaotic player. He continued to raise his proficiency of his skills and his intelligence for months diligently. He was impatient but he knows it is necessary to achieve his objectives. Until the day he finally got something.

Lurix laughed out loud with how bizarre his stats went up. three months game time were spent avoiding enemies and converting/performing alchemy the whole time which boosted a lot of his Int. Now he is ready to start his experiment.

"Now let's try making the base of this project I am making" Lurix approach the huge a poisonous herb in front of him and placed his hand on it.
"Material Conversion!"
The herb brightened for a few second before turning black.
*Ding!
-Conversion Successful!
-Poisonous Herb
Grade : Rare
Items used by assassins of the royal family to dispose their enemies in a painful way. Must be handled delicately.
Lurix grinned as his first successful material came. Though it was still not good enough so he looked around the forest once more searching for herbs in every nook and cranny to find them and convert them.. Some of them turned out to be of rare grade and higher while remaining out of the predators around him which lvl 200 and above. Just one wrong turn and he would be ejected in the game for 24 hours and he would not want to wait that long for he has a goal to meet by the end of his 4th month of playing.
He spent two days in converting herbs and some of them turned out healing herbs and some into poisonous herbs. Some of them even gave some stat bonus when used into alchemy. Now he needs to learn some elemental magic. So he can make his first list on his objective.
He already located himself on the map from the images shared on the net and there is a town in the east of him. He put everything he had in his bag and headed for the town to start his two day journey.
Now Lurix just need one more thing to create what he has in mind. A little Wind magic and then he can start leveling up and face the lvl 200 monsters around Kallamore Kingdom,.
Sorry if I updated a bit long. I was planning on how to tackle the things I would like to portrait. Now I'm ready and have some idea on how so bear with me.
