Chapter 57 Evolving Backwards
"Master, are you okay? May we come in?" Housekeeper Stella's voice rang in Roland's ears while he was still clutching his whole body in pain.
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain he was feeling as he shouted, "No, don't!"
The matter of the System was a secret and he knew that he should keep it that way forever. It was too mysterious and he doesn't know what the others' reaction would be if they knew he had such a magical system inside his brain.
Although Housekeeper Stella and Butler Frank were worried, they did not dare to enter the master's quarter, especially after Roland's order.
On the other hand, five minutes has already passed since Roland drank the two potions.
His body and mind were experiencing pain he had never felt before.
If not for the fact that he already has a peak Soul and Body, perhaps, the pain he was experiencing right now would have more than doubled.
His unusual willpower enhanced by the level 1 soul potion allowed him to endure the pain that felt like torture.
Exactly ten minutes later, the pain finally subsided as he felt a refreshing sensation was over his body and soul.
He stood up from the puddle of goo as he observed himself.
His shirt and pants were already drenched in the black goo that was excreted from his pores.
His nose was assaulted by the goo's pungent smell, but Roland endured the nauseating smell as the sensation he was feeling right now was just beyond marvelous.
He felt his body becoming lighter than ever. His mind felt clearer, as if he was phoenix reborn from the ashes.
Roland took off the drenched shirt and pants as he went to the full body mirror.
He observed his reflection but ended up shaking his head.
Some of the black goo that has been excreted from his pores were stuck on his skin, making him look like a walking charcoal.
Roland also smelled the pungent smell coming from his body so he decided to take a full shower.
Fortunately, the master's room has its on shower and toilet so there was no need for him to go out and let the workers know of his stinky smell he was possessing at the moment.
At the shower, as the water drizzled down his naked body, the black goo finally started to whittle down.
He endured the pungent smell as black colored water drizzled down from his body all the way to drain.
He scrubbed off the black goo that had already hardened on his skin with all his might and it was only a few minutes later that the water drizzling down his body finally turned clear.
And even though he had not put some soap yet, Roland was surprised that the pungent smell was actually perfectly eliminated.
He even stuck his nose on his skin, and the pungent smell was truly no longer present. And in fact, there was actually a sweet and soft scent that replaced it
Speaking of his body, Roland finally turned to observe himself from the mirror.
To his surprise, he had actually gone thinner compared to earlier.
When he consumed the Level 1 Physique Enhancement Potion before, it made his body transform from a thin and sickly man to a mini hunk full of muscles.
On the other hand, the effect of the Level 2 potion was actually different than what he initially imagined.
Initially, he thought that as his strength increases due to the potions effect, his body would also grow in size like those of body builders.
However, the body he was looking at in the mirror was nothing like that.
The body he was looking at was slender and slim.
He flexed his arm and noticed that only a slight bulge appeared on his biceps. This was only slightly bigger than his previous biceps, Roland could not help but frown, thinking that he might have consumed the wrong potion.
He was afraid that he might have evolved backward.
However, Roland shook his head a moment later.
He clenched his fist and could feel the strength contained with his grip. This kind of strength could not be achieved by normal means.
If before he could lift 500 kilograms of weight easily by consuming the level 1 potion, this time, he reckoned that lifting 2000 kilograms easily would not be a problem.
One must note that this number was only due to his minimal estimate. At maxed, Roland estimated that lifting double that amount would also be possible.
Hence, the potion he consumed was indeed not fake.
His strength increased by more than two-fold but strangely, his body actually became thinner.
However, even though he looked thin and weak, only Roland knew how strong his current body was.
Perhaps, he might not die even if he was hit by a raging truck.
As he doesn't have an explanation for this kind of thing, he finally decided to just ignore it for now.
Anyways, looking like this would also mean that others would underestimate him easily, hence creating more face-slap opposite for him.
Though, Roland must admit that he still prefers looking more muscular. After all, he has been thin all his life, why would he want to still look thin if he had the choice?
Getting out of the shower, the nauseating smell of the entire room assaulted his nose again.
Roland ignored the smell and after changing into clean and ordinary looking clothes, he decided to go out, and let the maids clean his stinky room.
However, when Roland opened the door, Butler Frank and Housekeeper Stella were actually right in front of it.
On the other hand, upon seeing Roland, Butler Frank and Housekeeper Stella could finally heave a sigh of relief.
They were truly worried about him earlier as they could actually hear his grunts. Both of them could tell that Roland was experiencing some kind of pain.
