Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

Lucas gave the cauldron as much mana as it needed to complete. There came a time when he only had a few points left to give and the dizziness had started to come up.

Lucas for the first time, tried to persist the dizziness and the slight pain that he felt right now thinking that he was safe inside the shelter already.

After some seconds, his mana finally came to zero and the dizziness changed to extreme pain. Lucas reluctantly cut off his mana connection to the cauldron thinking that beyond this was unknown and not worth exploring.

He fell on his butt with sweat falling off his face.

'Was it successful?' He thought with expectant eyes. From the first time when his mana stat was emptied, he had overcome the dizziness better this time even when he pushed himself further.

Suddenly, a very sweet smell started to spread in the atmosphere. Lucas kept sniffing the fragrance which was like flowers or the perfumes that his sister and mother use.

He didn't care if the concoction was successful or not, after some hard work, it felt nice to smell something this calming.

It was like a meditation candle.

"What's with the good smell?" Mike came with a smile on his face, with him the others were also moving toward the concoction.

"Pushed yourself too much?" Jerry asked and gave a hand to Lucas in order to pick him up straight.

Lucas accepted the hand and got up, he really needed to see if he was successful.

He went to the concoction which was still boiling yet the color had changed to light green.

"Uncle John, can you put out the fire?" Lucas asked the wind manipulator.

"Already? It has not even been thirty minutes since then."

"Yeah, the work is probably done."

John obliged and went to the trench, winds started to form near his hand, and with a single flick, huge gusts went inside the trench making the fire ablaze further.

But excess of everything is always bad. The huge gusts overcame the fire and it finally exhausted.

The boiling water inside the cauldron started to shimmer and finally calmed completely. Lucas could finally look at it properly, the water had become light green in color and the aroma it produced was never inside the Regaldis plant to begin with.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The stem, leaves, petals, and roots inside the solution were still floating up but the greenish color on them had completely become pale as if all the life it had was sucked dry by the concoctions process.

"Can someone bring me a cup? There should be some extras inside the storage."

Lucas asked and Sarah went on with his request, minutes later, she was again with him with the cup in her hand.

Lucas dipped the wooden cup halfway in order to not burn his fingers and took some liquid in it.

"Does anyone want to try it first?" Lucas asked with a grin.

Many looked at the greenish solution and smelled the aroma but still, their mind and heart battled for supremacy. Read exclusive chapters at empire

Lucas only chucked and without any worry, he took a small sip from it.

His eyes widened making many think that something was actually wrong with the liquid. Many things that look great are sometimes bad for the health.

Lucas didn't say anything and took another sip, his face bloomed with a satisfied smile.

"Does it work?"

Lucas looked at the cup with a smile and opened his status plate. His face made the cheekiest grin one could have ins such times.

"It increased by a point with only 2 sips."

John sighed with satisfaction, it seemed Lucas was able to achieve success on his first try.

Lucas thought of the contents of the liquid and its description and this time, his eyes looked dazed on the next texts that popped in front of him.

Low-Quality Mana Potion

Extremely Common grade

The mana potion is made with a very crude method by a rookie Potion Brewer. The potential of the ingredients was not used to its best and as a result, a low-quality mana potion was brewed of the Extremely Common Quality Grade. For every 100 ml intake of the potion, the mana will regenerate by 5 points.

"Ingredients not used to the best? Whatever." Lucas was still happy and his eyes moved to everyone who was looking at the potion with expectant eyes.

He continued with a warm smile, "It was a success!"

Everyone cheered at the new development inside the shelter, a new beverage of sorts. They all looked at the description after Lucas told them how to open it.

Many were surprised that what Lucas made was actually seen as worthy in the eyes of the system.

"It is still on the low quality and that too of the extremely common grade... the mana recovery is 5 points for every 100 ml intake which seems reasonable. What will the effects be if it is higher than the low quality?" Bill blabbered with the cup filled with the mana potion in his hand.

"I won't know until I make one of that quality, I am happy with this for now as I had no hope of actually being successful." Lucas tried to be modest but deep down he wanted to tell people of how proud he was that he made a potion on his very first try with very crude equipment.

The cauldron was still very hot so many more cups were brought from the storage and the potion was filled inside them.

In total, they had 15 cups, and even after filling them to the brim. The cauldron still had a lot of liquid which Lucas guessed to be able to fill 40 more of the small cups.

They didn't have a way to store the potion so the only option was to keep it inside the cold storage with the cauldron in tow.

Lucas was done for the day, he may have made a potion today but it was sweat enough to be called a beverage with benefits too.
