Around an hour after I took the first Acclimation potion, empty vials coated the bed of my Crib, and my wallet was 2250 Low-Alpha coins emptier; however, I was finally back to full health.
In the end, I needed to buy a total of nine Acclimation potions, and after drinking so many, my little belly was so round it appeared as if I had eaten a MASSIVE meal.
Bloating aside, I was more annoyed than anything about the loss of funds. Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, from my perspective, I had more than enough to buy nine potions several times over, but hemorrhaging 2250 Low-Alpha Coins hurt.
Although still in the Non-Rank, every muscle in my body was toned, and frankly, if you looked at me, you would think I was a miniature athlete instead of a formerly sickly one-year-old child.
’It’s going to be a problem when I go to the pool, but I should be able to remedy that with the use of my Talent. Speaking of…’ My eyes floated toward the vial of golden, sparkly liquid sitting at the opposite end of my Crib.
The Elixir.
I never had a single thought of getting my hands on one, now or in the Origin Timeline. Being the equivalent of a rare special edition item, it touted such a high price tag that only the snooty rich people would ever see one unless you somehow got uber lucky and got one out of an Instance.
It had happened before, but the odds of such a thing were one in a trillion. So, apart from being one of the initial people to purchase them when the Alpha shop opened, it wasn’t a logical idea to ever believe you’d get your hands on one.
Still, that didn’t stop the high-level alchemists or biologists from attempting to figure out the recipe and make them; however, to my knowledge, no one was ever successful in creating the miracle potion.
Yet here I sat, with an Elixir of my own, a little bit more than my arms could reach away, nestled on my blankie.
Honestly, it felt a little surreal, and I kind of couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that my ass ACTUALLY got one.
Taking a deep breath, I smiled and thought about the effects the miracle potion brought about.
’The description of the elixir is way too vague, and if it weren’t for those beautiful morons online, we normies wouldn’t have any clue at all about it’s effects.’ Wearing a slight smirk, I thought back to the message boards exploding the day the true effects of the Elixir were leaked to the masses.
It was utter pandemonium; people were freaking out, saying those who got one had an unfair advantage, while others tried plotting to steal them from the richest people in the world.
I couldn’t really care less, especially at the time, since I was in the midst of my depression phase thanks to my lame Talent Potential, but even I got a kick out of the internet war that occurred.
The effects of the Elixir were simple, and if used at any other time than the initial particle saturation, seemed kind of irrelevant, but given that there wasn’t a single Alpha particle on Earth, getting my hands on this bad boy was a pretty big deal.
Although unverified, the Elixir allegedly had three effects. One was that it would increase your physical and Intellect stats by 1 point. That in itself was pretty damn good, all things considered.
But it was the secondary boost and the third effect that the Elixir gave which caused an uproar.
The secondary boost was a bit randomized, but from what we knew, by taking the potion, you would get between 1 and 5 points added to your Meta Physical stats, which in the early days was world-shattering.
Then there was the magical 3rd effect, which had a bit of randomness to it as well, and that was you would receive a permanent boost to your Talent Growth rate in the form of an XP Multiplier.
By simply drinking a vial of liquid, you could get a multiplier ranging from two to five times XP gain when it came to Talent Growth Rate.
’Fingers crossed, Goddess of luck, don’t fail me now,’ with that said, I reached across my Crib, swiped the sparkly golden vial of liquid, popped the cork, and downed it like a shot of whiskey.
What happened next could only be described with a single word: Euphoric. As if I had just done a bunch of drugs, the world spun and warped into vibrant colors.
Lightheadedness assaulted me as I could smell the scent of fresh fruits; the only thing missing was a nightmare-inducing hallucination of clowns or something.
But it was all cut short, as darkness was the next thing I saw…because I passed out.
Either the Elixir was too much for my body to handle, or it was all part of the process. The truth would forever be lost to me because I woke up several hours later, feeling as if I had just gone through an intense night of drinking.
I wasn’t sure if it was thanks to the copious amount of Acclimation potions I had consumed or if the Elixir was to blame, but at the end of the day, it didn’t matter because the only thing on my mind was checking the improvements to my stats.
Giving the mental command to Arcadia a couple of seconds later, you couldn’t remove the smile from my face, even if the world was ending.
