The Author's POV

"Hats off to technology"

-Riiiiip!

A couple of hours after I placed my order in [World Market], my package already arrived in front of my dorm room.

I don't know how they managed to send me the package so fast, but who was I to complain.

"Whoa..."

Ripping the package open, nestled in between a couple of styrofoam beans was a red ginseng root that rhythmically pulsated a red hue.

Taking the ginseng out, I couldn't help but tilt my head in confusion.

"huuuu...how am I supposed to take this? Do I just eat it or do I put it in a medical bath?"

Carefully placing the ginseng on my table, I quickly looked for instructions on what to do with the ginseng.

After all, I wasn't just going to recklessly eat this when I had no idea whether that was the right thing to do.

Opening my tablet, I quickly looked through all of the information regarding the blood ginseng.

"...no need for a medical bath, and just eating it raw is okay? Moreover I shouldn't steam it as there's a chance it might lose some of its medical properties?"

Reading the instructions on the web, my face couldn't help but twist lightly. Though I had never eaten ginseng before, looking at it on my table, it reminded me of ginger.

...and I hated ginger.

"Ahhh, let's not bitch about this for any longer and just think of it as a small sacrifice for strength"

With the most twisted face I could muster, holding the ginseng by the tip of my fingers, I slowly placed it in my mouth.

Right after placing the ginseng in my mouth, taking my first bite, an earthy and bitter taste invaded the tonsils of my tongue.

"khhh...so bitter, at least it's not as bad a ginger"

Chewing onto the ginseng, I soon noticed that although it was bitter, if I concentrated hard enough, I could taste a slightly sweet after taste. Though it wasn't very sweet, it was still something.

"Ah...yep, it's starting"

Chewing on the ginseng for a couple of seconds, I soon swallowed it. Thereafter I felt a hot sensation in my stomach area.

"oooof..."

Soon after, as if all the pores of my body were stretched to the maximum, I felt the mana in my surroundings gather towards my body at an alarming rate. It soon entered my system and headed towards the energy that came from the ginseng.

The mana from the atmosphere added with the chaotic energy within my body due to the ginseng soon mixed and created a ball of pure energy that coursed through my body.

As if a dam had broken, the energy shot straight into every fiber of my body resulting in my skin turning red.

-Tssssss

Steam slowly rose from my body as green veins protruded from my skin as they constantly wiggled around.

"khhh..."

Frowning hard, I clenched my teeth and suppressed the pain that was coursing through my body. It felt as though a thousand pins were puncturing my veins. The pain was excruciating.

Like that, for the next fifteen minutes, I endured an almost unbearable amount of pain. it felt as though I was being skinned and burned alive.

"huuuu..."

of pure hell, the pain finally died down. Shortly after the pain disappeared, a wave of euphoria
