The Author's POV

Chapter 85

7 A.M.

Staring at the clock stuck on the wall of my house, I headed to the kitchen and made myself some coffee.

The lights of the villa were shut and I was the only person in the house. My parents already went to the guild and Nola was at day care.

...So I had the whole place to myself.

Sliding the door that led to the garden, I felt the morning breeze cool down my body instantly.

For the past few days, I had been fairly busy.

After spending a lot of time remodeling the warehouse as well as studying for my exams, I barely had any time to focus on my training.

The only time I had available was usually early in the morning.

"fuuuuu..."

Taking a deep breath, I sat crossed-legged in the garden. It was about time I broke through my rank.

Taking out multiple potions from my dimensional space, I opened the thumb-sized bottle cap and gulped one of the potions down.

-Gulp!

At first, the potion was tasteless. But soon after, a bitter aftertaste invaded the tonsils of my tongue.

The aftertaste was similar to that of a shot of espresso. Very bitter.

-Pant!

Exhaling and taking a long deep breath, I focused my mind on spreading the effects of the potion throughout my body.

Instantly, the cells within my body jumped in excitement.

Streams of energy circulated around my body as white steam slowly escaped from my body creating a white mist around me.

-Gulp!

Without skipping a beat, after I felt the effects of the first potion wearing out, I instantly downed another one.

Like that, I repeated the process three more times until I suddenly felt my body bloat and the muscles of my body twitch.

-Pant! -Pant!

Panting heavily, I cleared my mind. Soon after, the twitching stopped and a wave of energy washed over my body revitalizing all of my muscles. My head became lucid, as well as my senses.

Suddenly, everything around me became clearer.

The water droplet dripping from the blade of grass in the distance became more perceptible. The sound of the birds chirping became more apparent, and the smells around me intensified.

It felt as if everything around me was within my grasp...

"fuuuuuu..."

Exhaling, and adjusting myself to the changes around me, I looked at my status window
