I told Ace and Violet not to attack anyone unless they were harmless or I could handle the enemy. The problem is I just remembered that I had to tell them not to attack in front of people as it would gather attention not only to me but to them too. 

Since Hel acted on her own, she smiled at me with a wicked smile. 

"I tried to restrain my strength," she told me with her oddly slit eye pupils. She blinked and changed it to normal human eye pupils. 

On the other hand, the drunkard got a broken arm while limping toward me. He held his broken arm with his non-broken hand and cried in pain. 

Everyone who saw this was in awe. I didn't want to cause a scene, but look what happened. So much for low-key defensive magic users, huh?

Although Fenrir didn't do anything, I heard grunting and saw he was holding his wound. I need to check on it before things get worse. 

I dragged my bodyguards away from the scene to the nearest Inn and ordered a room. The receptionist offered us class A, probably an executive room to accommodate us three. Once we were alone, I told Fenrir to take his shirt off and sat on the floor while I took out my first aid kit inside my storage box. 

Once I gathered all that I needed, I looked at the wound and saw the flesh becoming rotten. I saw some black purplish surrounding the rotten flesh as it started to get an unpleasant odor. 

"It must be from one of the bird's talon scratches. I was busy fighting their boss and didn't pay attention to whoever dared to inflict this on me," he said. 

"This is not just a normal scratch, Fen. It looks like that claw must have some venom or something," I told him as I cleaned the wounds. 

"Ah, yeah, I forgot. Sykes has a potent venom on their claws," he said. 

"What the heck is a Skye?" 

"A Skye is a species of Class B birds that usually hunt in groups and are led by an evolved Boss named Dyke. Although hunting in a group, these birds have a potent venom that can be dangerous to any normal person. If not cured properly, death is inevitable. The affected areas will soon decay as the venom starts to work, infecting the uninfected areas. Once the venom reaches the healthy cells, it will not stop. The venom can be effectively controlled with appropriate treatment before it progresses to a more serious stage. However, there is a cure for that," Terissa explained. 

"What is the cure?" I asked her. 

"A healing potion."

"Healing potion? Where can I buy it?" 

"You can't buy it since it's unavailable here or anywhere. No one had made anti-venom here unless you decided to create it considering the ability of your extra skill," Terissa suggested. 

"Sounds good. So where can I buy the ingredients?"

"You find it all here." 

"Can I just replicate them?" I asked her, feeling lazy. 

"You cannot replicate anything if you haven't seen them, don't you?" she asked me, annoyed. 

"Alright, alright," I said, giving up. 

I dismissed her and applied a first aid kit to Fenrir's shoulder. 

"You need to rest. I'll go and find something to treat you," I told him as I grabbed my coat and headed to the door. 

"Do you want me to come with you?" Hel asked. 

"No. I want you to stay with Fen," I replied before opening and closing the door. 

"So where can I find the ingredient?" 

"First, we need to find a loach," Terissa said. "You can mostly find a loach in a swamp."

"How do I know if I find a loach? Should I grab it whole?" 

"Loach is like a frog in the first stage of a cycle. It has four legs and a fin with pale pink to reddish-orange in color. We don't need the loach, but we only need its pearl," she answered. 

"Pearl?" 

"Yes. The shiny pearl spat out by a loach has mystical medicinal properties. The minerals and elemental particles the loach ingest condenses into a magical bead. We can have this shiny pearl when we threaten it. Loach usually spits these pearls out to confuse its predator and escape with its life," Terissa answered. 

"Let's go and find a swamp," I said as I started to walk away from the Inn. 

I was given directions to the nearest swamp in Redhorn. When I arrived there, there were a couple of loaches in any color, and when they felt my presence, all of them spat some pearls that glittered under the moon before escaping despite mating. 

"Oh, great," I told Terissa. "How will I know which pearls came from the pink loach?"

"Use your sorting eyes. You will be able to see which one is the right one." 

"Miss Terissa," I said, sighing. "What in heaven are these sorting eyes? You always say something new to me that I don't even know exists."

"A sorting sight is like an elemental sight. You can see which one you need just by looking at it. All you have to do is pay attention and tell which one is the right one. If you focus, the glowing one is the right one you need."

"Okay. So uh, you didn't mention those black loaches," I told her while I focused on the pearls that scattered on the swamp's bed. Right away, four pearls from a pink loach glowed, and I immediately picked them up. 

"The black loaches are something you can call poison producers. Unlike pink loaches, they eat dead creatures and pollution everywhere. Their pearls absorb them; thus, their pearls contain toxins. Well, if you decide to create a poison potion."

Despite what Terissa said, I picked up a few and stored them in my storage box for emergency use. 

"Is that all?"

"Yes, for now." 

Walking back to the Inn, I noticed someone was following me. I stopped and turned around, but I didn't find anyone. I know someone was following me even before I left the Inn.

  • Chapter 14: The Time and Forbidden Skill user

    She's just a girl. My brain had to say it to me a couple of times, but can a little girl summon someone from another world? The answer is only possible if she's someone that is more powerful than Fenrir and Hel. I tried to appraise her again. And when I looked at her status, I found some new key details about her besides power suppressing. First, she was a witch. The little girl was a witch. That's normal for me since Earth has a couple of those, but no one actually had seen them. The second details shock me to my core. She's also a walking curse called The Eye of Misfortune. I looked at more explained details, but I couldn't see anything about it. "Terissa? Can you explain to me what this "The eye of Misfortune" thing this girl has?""The eye of misfortune is a curse maker or giver. The curse can activate whenever the bearer wants to use it. For example, a curse will be activated if the user has eye contact with someone they hate or have a grudge against. Whatever curse they cas

  • Chapter 13: First business Deal at the Merchant Guild

    I used my appraisal skill on the young girl, and my eyes almost bulged out of my socket when I saw how powerful she was. Not only does she have a magic suppressor, but she can also wield the nine elements. Plus, she's freaking more powerful than Hel and Fenrir's combined power! Her elemental power is obviously suppressed, but still, she's beyond something else! I couldn't imagine how powerful she would have been if she hadn't hidden her full potential. Who in this world is this young girl? And why is she here? "No freaking way," I accidentally blabber out. "Y-you're more powerful than Hel and Fenrir.The little girl looked at me. "Ah, I can see that you are gifted with appraisal skill, otherworld lander," the young girl said. "That's good. I thought my sister failed to bless you before she died," she added. "Eh? Blessed? What do you mean?"The girl chuckled and urged me to go and register first before telling me who she was.When we reached the merchant guild, I immediately left a

  • Chapter 12: The mysterious Little Girl

    As I entered our room, I found Fenrir lying down, burning hot. His face becomes pale, and it looks like he has a fever. "What happened?" I asked Hel, who was trying to cool Fenrir down. "He has been complaining about how painful his body was. I tried to massage him, but it got worse, Master", she replied "The infection may have been spreading, and the magic core inside him was trying to heal him," Terissa said. "Quickly, the magic core doesn't have any ability to heal, and you must create one now before everything is too late."I agreed with her and started to create one. I grind the pearls into powder and mix it with some nocturnal lotus oil I have found in the wild while we travel. I poured a bit of mint essential oil into a test tube and mixed it. I don't have any experience when it comes to creating healing potions, but all I need to know are my ingredients' properties, and I'll know what to do. I woke up one day. I already knew about creating something useful, which comes in

  • Chapter 10: The Redhorn Town and the first trouble

    When Fenrir said he'd bring me tons of what he hunts, he didn't joke. There were huge deer, snakes, birds, bears, and oversized ostriches. The other pilled carcasses were pig-like creatures with two hands and feet. I don't know what it is, but I have a hint of what they were. The last pile was a huge wild boar with different skin colors and tusks. "You can sell what we don't need, but the meat will be ours," Fenrir said before lazily riding on the carriage as Hel, and I loaded the carcasses inside my storage box. After that, we finally started to move again. After a few days of traveling, we finally made it! It took us forever, but we finally arrived at Redhorn Town. As we approached the town, I noticed a watch tower that must have been used for scouting out intruders. We got to the entrance of the town and were stopped by guards. "Identification papers, please," One of the guards asked me. "I'm sorry, but I don't have any. I only got some permits here from the village chief," I

  • Chapter 9: Defensive Spell: Memory Erase

    When everything was ready, we left the village and headed to Redhorn Town, the closest town to this village. I acquired a carriage which I bought at a cheap price. It was broken, but I fixed it and upgraded it to last longer.A storage box was convenient for the horses and me since only the three of us were riding on them, and didn't weigh too much. During the trip to Redhorn, we decided to stop for the night and to prepare our dinner. "What's for our dinner?" Fenrir asked if he saw me preparing the folded table, I had pulled from the storage box. "Oven-cooked pork belly," I told him."Woah! Sounds tasty. How long will the cooking process take? I'm starving," he said. I could practically see saliva on his mouth. "I don't know. The usual pork in my world usually takes an hour to cook, but I don't know about the boar's pork here," I replied, pulling off the oven I replicated from Earth's typical oven. I upgraded it a bit, and instead of plugging it into any electric outlet, I fused
