Chapter 47: Chapter 47 - Opening the Rewards

[New Recipe Unlocked - Potion of Invisibility!]

[Description: You can become invisible for 5 minutes by drinking this potion.]

Lucius smiled at this new item as it was clearly different from the two previous items. It wasn’t themed around sex and those types of things. However, such an item could be useful in general situations and was bound to be a best-seller. There was no doubt about it.

Entering the back store, a bunch of new ingredients appeared to craft the potions, surprising Lucius himself.

There were some ingredients here that were definitely things he had never seen before.

The first ingredient that was particularly interesting was the wings of an angel. He needed to use an angel feather as the base of the potion.

[Ingredients: Shadowmoss Spores (Rank 2), Whispering Willow Bark (Rank 1), Ghost Orchid Nectar (Rank 3), Nightstalker Essence (Rank 4), Angel Feathers (Rank 5)]

There were other interesting ingredients, but Lucius didn’t pay attention to them too much. Instead, he immediately got to work as he wanted to craft the first potion and try it out.

He positioned himself in front of the crafting station and smirked, as it had been quite some time since he had last been there.

[Step 1: Grind the Shadowmoss Spores into a fine powder and scatter into cold water.]

Lucius opened the pouch, the spores inside shifting like fog. He ground them carefully, sneezing as a puff escaped into the air, making his fingers go slightly numb. The powder dissolved with a faint hiss when it touched the cold water, turning it a murky, smoky gray.

[Step 2: Shave strips of Whispering Willow Bark and simmer for three minutes.]

He peeled the silvery bark into thin strips. They curled as he dropped them into the cauldron, and the brew began to hum softly, like distant whispers at the edge of hearing. He glanced around, uneasy.

[Step 3: Add Ghost Orchid Nectar. Warning: Do not inhale fumes directly.]

Lucius uncorked the vial and immediately turned his head away. The scent was otherworldly, sweet and sharp like lightning through honey. He poured it in slowly. The moment it hit, the potion flickered—literally flickered—like someone had dimmed the room.

[Step 4: Stir in Nightstalker Essence while focusing on concealment.]

The thick black vial throbbed in his grip. He poured the essence with deliberate care, and the mixture turned blacker than ink, sucking in the light around it. He whispered under his breath, "No one sees me. No one knows I’m here." The liquid responded, vanishing briefly before reappearing, bubbling faintly.

[Step 5: Drop in three Angel Feathers and wait for them to dissolve.]

He held the pristine white feathers, unsure how something so divine belonged in this eerie blend. One by one, he let them fall. They didn’t burn, didn’t dissolve—just slowly faded from sight, becoming invisible.

[Final Step: Seal with a name and vanish it from memory. Speak your desire and forget it.]

Lucius stared into the inky brew. He whispered, "Let the world forget I was ever here," and as he spoke, he felt a strange tug at his thoughts, like the memory was being siphoned away. He blinked.

The potion shimmered and settled, now a clear liquid, indistinguishable from water—except for the chilling sensation when he held it up.

[Potion of Invisibility: Complete.]

He placed it gently on the workbench beside the Erotic Perfume and chuckled. "I may not be an alchemist... but I’m damn good at faking it."

The potion was a white color, similar to that of the angel wings.

"Here is the recipe. I want you to focus on crafting as many invisibility potions as possible," Lucius told the two people in charge of crafting the past items. "We already have more than enough perfumes and Love Potions, so let’s fill our shelves with those potions. Okay?"

The two of them nodded and got to work right away.

’Hm... should I try it now?’ Lucius shook his head, as there was no doubt in his mind that it was working. ’I’ll keep it for later. It’d be fun to snoop around or trick one of the girls...’

Still, before trying it out, he wanted to check out the rest of the rewards he had obtained back then.

[Legendary Loot Box]

[Contains random high-quality items.]

Lucius wasn’t too sure what he could expect from it. However, he didn’t waste any time as he felt a bit of excitement while opening the orange Loot Box before him.

’Mhm... it’s like opening a random case in a video game!’ Lucius said with a smirk as all kinds of items with different rarities kept passing before him. Some were grey, some blue, some purple, and one of them was orange.

Lucius quickly understood that the color represented the rarity of each item.

"Come on... legendary!" Lucius told himself as the rotation of items began to slow down.

"Green... purple... blue... come on, one more!"

For a moment, Lucius almost looked like a gambling addict. However, he felt good doing it.

"Orange, orange, orange! Come on! Give me Legendary!"

Lucius was shouting to himself inside the back room. His employees stared at him strangely, but they kept their mouths shut for the time being. After all, they could clearly see that whatever this box was seemed important.

[You have obtained a Legendary Item from the Legendary Loot Box! Congrats!]

[The odds of obtaining a Legendary Item are 3%.]

[You have obtained Ever-Changing Mask.]

[Ever-Changing Mask]

[Effect: By wearing this mask, you can decide what your face will look like. You can change its appearance as you wish, meaning that you can take on different identities easily. Use this item wisely.]

Lucius smirked as he immediately put on the mask and started going upstairs.

’I’ll put on Axel’s appearance.’

Within milliseconds, Lucius’s face changed into Axel’s, and there was no way to know it, as even his voice had changed.

’Let’s see how strongly they will react.’

Lucius started going up the stairs as he could already hear them shouting against each other. It seemed that the bickering hadn’t subdued.
