MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Although Valyr had only consumed the True Rebirth Pill twice throughout his two identities, the young man pretty much associated the pill with the Mystic Vial.

After all, only with the vial accompanying the pill would the latter be able to showcase its effects in its entirety, which was a massive boost of 100 points to all of his stats.

Alongside a minuscule boost to his Mystic Energy, as well as a decent boost to a couple of low-tier hidden stats, Valyr viewed the combination as one of the best elixir combinations one could get their hands on.

…As long as one had ways to obtain it, that is.

Nevertheless, with the accompanying vial nowhere to be found, the young man decided to ask Mystia more about it, wondering why he hadn't been given the elixir that paired with the True Rebirth Pill.

Listening to his question, the woman let out a slight chuckle. "The Mystic Vial? There's no need for that anymore."

"No need?" Valyr looked at her in slight confusion. "What do you mean by that, Miss Mystia? Wouldn't the pill's effects only be complete after consuming the Mystic Vial?"

"That would normally be the case, yes." Mystia nodded in agreement, only to then give him a slightly cryptic smile.

"However, what if I told you I gave you a different elixir that's basically a better version of the Mystic Vial?"

Hearing those words, the gears in Valyr's mind began to spin as he mulled over the question.

Though, not even a minute after, the young man figured out what she meant by that, taking out the remaining elixir he had yet to consume out of his spatial bracelet.

Glancing at the iridescent fluid contained within the oddly-shaped vial he brought out, Valyr took in a deep breath before asking Mystia for confirmation.

"By different elixir… is it the Mystic Tincture?"

"Well…" Mystia laughed as she nodded. "It's the only item you've gotten from me that you've yet to consume, so…"

"…Huh." At those words, the young man faintly nodded before going silent, the thoughts in his mind becoming a slightly jumbled mess.

'Wait a minute… if I remember correctly, Mystia based the Mystic Tincture off of the Tincture of Heavenly Reconstruction I gave her.'

'As far as I know, the Tincture of Heavenly Reconstruction mostly focused on giving a lot of stats and hidden stats,' inwardly muttered Valyr to himself.

'Since Mystia says the Mystic Tincture has a similar effect to the Mystic Vial, then that means…'

Although he didn't finish the train of thought he had in mind, the young man's eyes gleamed in expectation as he went ahead and used his identification skill on the Mystic Tincture.

Ding!

[Mystic Tincture] (Item)

Rarity: Mythic

Based off a heavenly tincture known by many throughout the universe, a talented alchemist was able to adapt this tincture to make use of native materials, retaining a simplified version of the tincture's effects.

However, unsatisfied with how it turned out, the alchemist went ahead and infused their understanding of Mystic Energy, transforming what was originally a watered-down version of a legendary tincture into a tincture that had become its own thing.

Once consumed, this tincture improves all of the user's lowest stat by 50 points. At the same time, the tincture also improves all of the user's other stats by 5 points each.

This tincture also improves all of the user's already awakened hidden stats by 5 to 8 points each.

Aside from that, this tincture has a small chance of awakening one of the following hidden attributes related to Mystic Energy within the user: Mystic Control, Mystic Purity.

Lastly, this tincture awakens the remnant effects of specific elixirs consumed by the user. If the user has not consumed any of these elixirs, the user instead obtains another 10 points to all of their stats.

'…I see.' Though the effects of the Mystic Tincture paled in comparison to the effects of the Tincture of Heavenly Reconstruction, Valyr was still more than eager to consume the tincture Mystia gave him as soon as possible.

After all, not only did it still give a decent boost to both his stats and hidden stats, but it also gave him a chance to awaken a couple of hidden stats he hadn't heard before.

Of course, he did find it a shame that the tincture had lost the original version's effects of improving his species. However, it made up for it by having the ability to awaken the remnant effects of the other elixirs he consumed.

'Who knows? Perhaps I might gain far more than I originally thought I would after consuming this tincture.'

With those words lingering in his mind, Valyr went ahead and consumed the True Rebirth Pill in one bite, giving the pill all the time it needed to take effect.

Whoosh!

After making sure that he had gotten the newly obtained strength coursing throughout his body under control, the young man then proceeded to consume the Mystic Tincture, only to then obtain a tip from the creator herself that it would be better for him to consume the tincture while sitting down.

Already beginning to imagine the agony the tincture would cause to his body because of her words, Valyr decided to heed her words as he took a bit of time to gather his bearings.

"Huuu…" Letting out a deep exhale after that to calm himself down, the young man eventually removed the tincture's cap before downing its iridescent contents in just a few quick gulps.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Within a matter of seconds, the young man began to feel certain parts of his body get hot all of a sudden.

Though, just as he began to feel that the heat coming from those parts seemed unbearable, Valyr soon began to feel other areas on his body get cold all of a sudden, causing him to feel like he was some sort of metal being tempered under two extreme temperatures.

"…Ngh!" Because of that, it was no surprise that the young man soon began to writhe on the floor as the areas of hot and cold oscillated and shifted throughout his body.

"Kuh…!" Trying his best to endure the pain he was going through, Valyr forcefully gritted his teeth, only for another painful sensation to join in on the action a few minutes later.

"Aaaaaggghhhh!!!"

Feeling like he was being stabbed with blades and needles all over his body all of a sudden, the young man decided not to suppress the pain he was feeling any longer, letting it all out through a pain-filled scream.

Fortunately, Mystia had come prepared beforehand, casting a barrier of energy around the room that isolated the noise they were making.

With that, Valyr was able to scream to his heart's content, focusing all of his attention on it as the pain that thrashed his body gradually turned into one homogenous blob.

By the time an hour had passed, the young man gradually stopped screaming, instead letting out gasps for air as a large amount of impurities was expelled throughout the skin.

Swoosh!

Though, at the very moment those impurities were expelled, a majestic aura soon radiated off the young man, causing Mystia to faintly smile the moment it happened.

'Ataraxia's going to be in for quite the surprise.'
