Kapitel 30: The Witch’s Potion
Akiol approached the hut, waving towards the players guarding it.
He greeted "Hello fellow players, would you mind if I go past?"
One of the players responded, "Sorry, no one is allowed past here."
Akiol expected this but still said, "I have a quest to turn in here, I will simply complete it and be on my way."
The same player shook their head, "No access, no matter what."
"If I decide to go past anyway would you stop me?"
The players readied their weapons, "Is that a challenge?!" One of them shouted.
Akiol shook his head, honestly he was getting tired of fighting these average players, they weren't as skilled as some of the A.I. enemies. At that point it would be just bullying the weak. So Akiol did the one reasonable thing he could think of.
He ran towards the hut, the players shouted and swung their weapons, but Akiol dodged and slipped under the door with [Body Manipulation].
Not only did he avoid the fight, but he was even in the hut.
"Ah, you have returned." Croaked a voice.
Akiol turned to find the witch sitting on a chair. He responded, "With the items you have requested as well."
The witch gently clapped her hands gently, and said, "Fantastic, just in time as well. Follow me."
The witch then opened a hidden trapdoor, leading to a cellar. Akiol was surprised, but found it reasonable, considering he didn't see any equipment in the hut. Only various ingredients.
He followed the witch into the cellar, it was dark and musty. The walls were poorly crafted riddled with cracks and loose stones.
The witch snapped her fingers, causing the candles on the wall to ignite. Allowing some light, but also adding a bit more to the spooky feel.
This also allowed a cauldron to be seen. Hanging from the ceiling with some chains. The witch stepped on the stool next to it and snapped her fingers again. Causing flames to arise under the cauldron.
The witch turned to Akiol and said, "Hand me the ingredients, I will be brewing a potion."
Akiol handed over the two ingredients. He was slightly excited to see what potion was going to be brewed. After all supposedly witches can make some pretty powerful potions.
The witch examined the Frost Cherry and Thosiris Sap. Nodding her head in approval. With a few flicks of her wrist various bottles and jars started to float towards her.
She manipulated the jars and poured various liquids in the cauldron. A dark red smoke rose from the bubbling liquids.
The witch put the jars back and opened a few of the jars. She dropped some mysterious looking ingredients into the cauldron at random intervals.
The liquid in the cauldron turned dark purple and started to bubble violently, shaking the cauldron.
The witch poured the Thosiris Sap in and the bubbling halted, until she added the Frost Cherry and it bubbled again, although not as violently.
She then beckoned Akiol over stating, "It's time for the final ingredient. I need a small part of you."
That halted Akiol in his steps, she wanted some of his slime? He didn't even know what would happen if he lost part of his body.
The witch furrowed her brow and said, "It won't affect you much, you'll regain what you lost when you drink the potion. Now hurry before the mixture explodes and we turn into a pile of ash."
Akiol walked over and put his hand out, although still hesitating. The witch took a cubed inch of slime from his hand and threw it in the cauldron.
It was an unpleasant feeling. He felt as if there was something missing from his body, even though the missing slime was covered up.
The witch used what looked like a broken paddle to stir the contents of the cauldron. It caused a magical sight.
The mixture turned all sorts of colors, suddenly sparkling brightly. It started to spin rapidly and shrunk. After the spectacle only a a small amount of the liquid remained.
The witch then levitated this drop and then it into Akiol's mouth. Akiol felt his body rush and spin, he felt dizzy and disoriented.
After the experience stopped he felt very pleasant. The witch didn't lie, he felt that his missing body piece was regenerated. His body felt amazing and he didn't know why. So he brought up his status.

He had gained more mana regeneration! Instead of regenerating one mana point every five seconds. He gained one every second! That was a five times increase!
This also meant he could roll for as long as he wanted to now. This was extremely pleasing to Akiol and he thanked the witch gratefully.
The witch responded, "My due is now paid, now shoo. I wish to rest alone for a while."
Akiol didn't need any warnings and he left immediately. This time he opened the door and was greeted with one extra player then before.
One of the previous players shouted, "You messed up! One of our guild's great experts has come to stop you!"
This claimed expert then shushed the player. They then greeted Akiol with, "Greetings, I had hope to chat with you on how you managed to talk to the witch."
Akiol responded, "She said that she didn't want to speak to the human-ish kind right?"
The claimed expert nodded.
"Then that's because I am not one of the beginning races." Akiol finished.
The expert asked, "Would you mind sharing the way to change into the race your currently as then? I am sure our guild can reward you greatly."
Akiol responded, "Afraid not, since I have no idea how it happened either."
The expert frowned at this, "I do hope you'd stop joking. Our guild isn't one who likes jokes."
"I am telling the truth, I honestly have no idea how it happened."
The expert nodded, "Then please do leave. I will give you a pass for now. Though do not come back or we won't be polite."
Akiol nodded, he had no more business here anyway. There was no need for any extra violence.
He walked past the players and left. Walking towards Red Bush it hit him that he had no idea what to do now. Besides finding the rest of his party he didn't have any other objectives to complete. He did have something he could do for now however.
Once he arrived at the Red Bush he decided it was time to visit the town he had gained access to.
