The Seeker System

After the 'Century of Phenomena', humanity had declined by more than two thirds it's population and eventually pushed back into 'Zones' where they were forced to live in 'District Cities'. The world outside the zones had become desolate wastelands inhospitable for them. The 'Century of Phenomena' brought plagues and destruction. Turning most plants and animals into horrid mutant beasts, unleashing monstrous creatures from 'Gates', and turning undead, the fallen population of humanity. But, it also brought hope for the survivors to endure the warped landscape. It brought forth an explosive advancement in technology and filled the earth with magic. Humans even experienced 'Evolutions' only seen in fantasy. It took half a century before that Hell unleashed and forced humans back. Now, evolved/awakened humans are known as 'Seekers' that delve into the wastelands within their zones to scrounge for treasures, artifacts, and anything useful. They also clear 'Gates' to procure the same. Life within the 'District Cities' was almost the same as before the Phenomena. Seekers are the heroes of society, and hold much influence. Connor W. Michael is one such Seeker. But, he is the weakest to ever awaken. Abused as a lowly 'Porter', he endures things worse than any mutant, monster. or zombie... Human Cruelty. But this is his beginning, the beginning of his journey from The Weakest to The Strongest.

Amazing Demon Alchemy

Connor was sitting on the arm of the dead Toxic Baboon, drinking a health potion from his Inventory. Ivory busy digging around inside the corpse. Though Connor already had the crystal in his Inventory, he couldn't help but wonder what she was searching for.

"Still, this skill. 'Severance'. I suppose it'd be nice to test it out... The cooldown is ass though." Connor commented aloud. Connor looked behind him and stared into the distance of the wasteland. There were extremely tall, yet corroded and overgrown, buildings in the near distance.

"Ivory, we're gonna head into that city soon." Connor called out to Ivory. Ivory crawled down to Connor, her new clothes covered in dirt and the greenish blue blood of the Toxic Baboon. She held four similarly colored orbs in her hand. Connor looked at them curiously and decided to use Insight.

[Mana Essence Orb (Rank C-Low): Can be eaten to gain power. A delicacy for Familiars and high ranked undead. Can be used as Alchemy ingredient.]

[Insight Leveled Up]

Connor grabbed two of them and put one in his Inventory. Ivory looked at Connor with a puzzled expression.

"Go ahead and eat... I wonder if it's safe for me to eat..." Connor gave Ivory permission, which she happily did. Connor stared at the one in his hand before he shrugged and tossed it into his mouth. Instant regret. He wanted to spit it out, but it wouldn't leave. Swallowing was also a no go, so he just began crunching. The foul taste intensified, but his body began absorbing the orb greedily, the contents slidding down his throat.

Connor dropped to his hands and knees and began to dry heave. The amount of gagging was seemingly endless as he tried to relieve the taste from his mouth.

"How?... How do you eat something that tastes like how all the vile things on earth smell? What even is this flavor, Bloated Fish? Hurgh!" Connor began retching again.

[You Leveled Up ×7]

[Magic: 393->414]

[Gained Class Skill: Poison Magic (Level: 1)- Conjure and manipulate poisons and acids to aid in your battles. Cost 1,000 MP)]

"...Worth it." Connors face turned serious and he dismissed the horrid flavor. After a moment, he suddenly remembered all of the things he bought and began pulling them from his Inventory.

All 5 Nectar of gods, 2 Level Up Potions, the Mana Essence Orb, 2 of the Mana Potions. and 2 more Health Potions.

"Would it be dumb to just start mixing? Nah. I'll be fine. I'll just use Insight." Connor took a Nectar and a Mana Potion. He mixed them together in the bottle containing the Mana Potion and the mixture took the purplish clear color of the Nectar and had a sparkling blue swirling stream within it.

[Mana Poison of the gods- A single drop will kill while draining the mana entirely from their bodies.]

[Demon Alchemy Leveled Up ×3]

"Useful. I'll keep it." Connor pit the poison in his inventory. He grabbed another Nectar and then a Health. It once again turned into a purplish clear but with a sparkling red swirling stream in the middle.

[Life Evaporating Poison of the gods- A single drop will kill by evaporating all liquids within a body.]

[Demon Alchemy Leveled Up ×4]

[Insight Leveled Up]

"Damn, these are dangerous." Connor put the poison in his Inventory quickly. He couldn't believe he had risked anything when he mixed Potions last time.

'Insight is such a blessing!'

The next was a Nectar and a Level Up. Once again it was the same but with a sparkling purple swirling stream.

[Faux Blessing of gods- A chance to gain massive power. Guaranteed Vigor.]

"Ah, this one's drinkable. Let's move on to the next, two Nectars left.... I'll just do one more then." Connor took all of the remaining Potions and began mixing like a mad man. The three swirls looked fairly beautiful, but he had yet to add the orb.

[Curse of the gods- This Poison will end all life within a hundred miles. A single drop will erase an entire beings existence.]

[Demon Alchemy Leveled Up ×12]

"Yeah, why don't we add this instead as well as, hmm, a breath... Why is that counted as extremely successful?" Connor looked at the extreme level up with a minor disdain. He dropped the orb into the mixture and uncapped a breath, adding it, maybe, to the mixture. The entire Potion turned green with hints of the other colors hued within, a golden light emitted from the Potion itself.

[Mysterious Life Potion of God- Can it revive the dead? Can it give immeasurable power? Or will it grant a lifetime of Vigor? A single sip will reveal the many possible effects.]

[Demon Alchemy Leveled Up ×16]

"Oh? That's a severe change... Well, come here Ivory." Connor ushered Ivory over and opened her mouth. He splashed a bit in her mouth and watched as... nothing happened.

"Hah, that's unfortunate." Connor sighed. Just as he was about to place the Potion in his Inventory, a golden light exploded outwards from Ivory. It was so bright, Connor had to shield his eyes from her.

[Ivory will now undergo extreme evolution.]

[Mysterious Life energy is being absorbed by Ivory. ]

[The breath of life has once again been gifted to Ivory. ]

[Ivory has evolved into a ancient living species.]

[The world welcomes back the Sprite. Subspecies of Fairy.]

[Morta is Mortafied yet impressed.]

[Invidia is feeling exhilaration.]

[Mercury wants to purchase Ivory.]

[Pluto Questions the logic surrounding you.]

[Gained Favor with Neptune.]

[Jupiter is highly Amused.]

[Interest Gained with a god of knowledge.]

[Gained Exclusive Skill: Sprite Summoning (Level: MAX)- You have summoned the only existing Sprite.]

[Gained Exclusive Skill: Sprite Form (Level: 1)- You can now merge with your Sprite. You will gain triple your current power for (5) Minutes. Cooldown (14) days.]

"Names are showing up more. A Sprite huh? And these skills... Fucking Amazing!" Connor excitedly exclaimed. The cooldown was extreme, but this Potion he held was even more extreme. A single sip ripped the very logic of the world.

"Though it's God, singular? How intriguing." Connor turned to look at Ivory, but she no longer looked like a child. She was taller and had pinkish skin. Her white hair now had some blue hue to it, and her eyes were now like shining blue lakes. They shimmered and sparkled dazzlingly. She was an otherworldly beauty with slightly pointed ears and large eyes. Her lips were reddish and full with a hint of a playful smile.

A pair of wings made of light and Mana were displayed behind her back, and Connor couldn't help but stare at her. She was far closer to his age now, and that caused quite the turmoil inside him. Not to mention she wasn't clothed. Ivory was looking at her body curiously, but her gaze shifted to Connor. She looked at him for a moment before she smiled happily at him.

"Master."

Sprites are spirits or Faeries/Fairies that have a more self serving mindset. They can be or do anything they want on a whim. Sorry, but not sorry. Everyone knows the small cute character never stays small for long. FYI, Ivory is over a hundred so, don't get schmidt twisted lol. Enjoy!
