After finishing the quest Will split the 10 stats points equally into dexterity and wisdom. Before Will was able to leave the Old Sage spoke up.
Old Sage: Before you leave I would like to give you one more task, I want to see you use all the skills I have taught you by now. Brew a Detoxin potion from scratch.

Will : I will do my best.
You have accepted the quest.
Will didn’t waste any time and moved right over to the alchemy equipment, sorted out the herbs and grass, making sure their all in perfect conditions, processing the herbs gathering and collecting the essence. Will processed quite a number of herbs to make sure there was enough essence for several potions, after all the herbs were used up Will moved onwards and started the mixing process. Several hours passed but Will managed to produce 6 detoxin potions and increase alchemy skill level. Will tried each and every detoxin potion, they were all quite bitter tasting but had a slightly different note. An hour passed before Will was able to decide which potion the Old Sage could try.
Will: Here, this one should be perfect.
The Old Sage took a small sip.
Old Sage: It is good but there is something missing. I will give you another chance hope you can find the flaw.
Will felt quite disappointed about the failure but not enough to be discouraged. Will stayed up another night playing Royal Road. The alarm clocked made him leave his capsule, feeling quite sluggish as he did all his morning ritual before leaving for school. William was quite an average student, didn’t stand out with his grades or was very active in sport. when William arrived at the school he greeted his classmates sat down in his seat, chatted a bit before the lesson started. Didn’t take long before William was already fast asleep in the first lesson, woken up by the school clock marking the end of the first lesson. Scolded in the second lesson for not doing his homework, it was just another school day, not wishing to be stuck with the big crowd William always waited to get some leftover bread from the cafeteria and moved outside. William could sometimes be referred as a loner, he did have friends and got along with his classmates but he always enjoyed his lunches alone, by no mean was William a gloomy person but the solitude put his mind at ease. Boredly but diligently William took notes in his last class of the day but his mind was at Royal Road, it annoyed him quite a bit that he wasn’t able to complete the quest on his first try, but it would take a lot more for William to give up. When the last lesson ended William packed up his things and was about to leave as he was invited to hang out with couple classmates, William declined it and started to move home. Walking slower then usually William mind was totally focused on his quest in Royal Road, William bumped against another student who was carrying a large stack of books, both of them fell over. William got up quickly and helped the other student up and apologized
William : Ah sorry, I wasnt paying attention.
Student: Ouchie, it is fine I didn’t see you either.
William: Let me atleast help you deliver these.
William gathered up all the shattered books along with the student, having already picked up 10 books William wondered how the skinny student managed to carry these books alone.
Student: There is no need, it was my fault.
William: Doesn’t matter I am already carrying these, now where to?
Student: Umm the library then, thanks.
William: No problem.
William chuckled a bit as the student seems a bit shy and awkward, on the way to the library the student opened and closed his mouth several times most likely trying to start a conversation but unable to find the words. Once the both arrived the library they placed the books on the front desk.
Student: Thanks for the help, I am John from class 9-C
William: Don't worry about it, I am William from class 10-A, nice to meet you.
John: Likewise.
William looking around the library just seeing very few students around. William just stood in front of John silently and deep in thought, John wasn’t sure what to make of it and slightly jumped as William suddenly spoke.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
William: There wouldn’t happen to be books about healing plants, botanic and similar around?
John was quite surprised at the question as gardening doesn’t seem to fit William.
John: There should be few of them here if you don’t mind waiting here for a bit I would try to find them for you.
William nodded to John to which John left off, roughly around 15-20 minutes later John returned, handing 3 books to William.
John: These were the best I could find hope they are helpful.
William: Thanks, I will be right over there going through them.
William moved over to a reading desk, placed his school bag next to him and started to flip through the first book, almost all the names were different but luckily there were some picture which helped him to identify some of the herbs. William got some an amount of new information about some herbs he already has used while working for the Old Sage, such as attributes, usage and growing locations, but alas he didn’t get any hint to the flaw of his Detoxin potion, as William left the school it was already dusk, he never stayed in school that long before. William reviewed his homework a while and had a quick meal before he entered his capsule and logged in.
Welcome to Royal Road.
Will trotted around the town for an hour before entering a pub for a nice meal. Will had some barney breads but was sick of them already, as soon as the meal arrived to the table Will cleaned the plate within minutes and emptied the drink with one go, afterward noticed the popup message.
You are drunk.
Stats temporary decreased.
Will was underage and didn’t order anything alcoholic but the biggest surprise was the fact that wasn’t able to recognize the alcoholic drink even tho it must have been quite strong to get drunk effect with one drink. The waitress approached Will seemingly apolitzeding and confessed about the mix up in the orders and ensured not to charge Will extra for the mix up. Will left the pub feeling slightly buzzed and dizzy, as Will wandered the town streets several thoughts rushed his mind but one particular puzzled the most. How Will wasn’t able to detect any alcohol from the drink, the thought brought a grin to Will face as approached the Old Sages hut. Will stumbled after entering the hut, staggering a bit while moving to the alchemy equipment. The Old Sage approached Will and said.
Old Sage: Are you sure you ready to give it another try?
Will: Yes, I figured out the flaw.
Old Sage: Oh really now?
The Old Sage just chuckled and got back to reading a book as Will started the alchemy process. Several hour passed before Will finished a patch of Detoxin potion.
Will: You can pick any of these to try they will all be perfect.
Old Sage: Well somebody seems full of confidence, lets see now.
The Old Sage picked out 2 potions and took a sip from each.
Old Sage: Glad you figured out the last lesson, many have failed in this step. Medicine can be cure and poison at the same time, it can be hard to offer medicine if it seems and tastes like poison, sometimes need to mask the smell and taste.
