Before the journey [2]

The next day. 

"You work pretty quickly." 

Opening the box that sat on the desk in front of me, I carefully picked up a small potion that was nestled in between a few wrappers.

98 million U

That was how much money I spent on the potion. Just thinking about the price made my face cringe, but I didn't regret my decision. 

Holding onto the potion as though it was the biggest treasure in the world, I made my way towards the bathroom and closed the door behind me. 

"Huu, it's about time I got rid of this look." 

With both hands on the side of the sink, staring at myself in the mirror, and once again looking at my hideous face, I took a deep breath. 

Then, uncapping the potion, without wasting any second, I quickly downed it. 

—Gulp!
