I created my own system

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Formula

Morning came and Isabella bid farewell to Apollo although he felt sad he knew she would be back soon after the banquet.

"Now then should I go back and hunt" he thought happily however a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"You better not hunt Apollo I know what you are thinking so I put a spell around the forest forbidding you from entering. I still remember what you did so until I said so you aren't allowed to hunt"

"And don't think about looking for other places to hunt because I left one of my spirits to watch over you, that's all I love you, son"

Right after he heard that voice Apollo felt all his plans crash into pieces.

"Mom seriously" he gasps his face while lamenting.

"What should I do now?"

In his confused state, a voice rang inside his head.

[ OBJECTIVES

•First I'll be awakening my hidden bloodline and body constitution"

•Second I need to grow stronger and increase my statistics

•Third venturing any of the places on the map]

As the voice said this a rectangular screen suddenly appeared containing the words the voice just said.

"Right I forgot about this I should go and do some research about this"

[Creator Jeremiah already did some digging and brought out several related research about the spells of Salamander Ridman and the alchemic formula of Segundo Alfonso those are the following

The study of Anton Platon about the anatomy of the body.

Theory of development of the anatomical and physiological

The theory of Alexis about the hidden bloodline and the history of the evolution of bloodlines]

"I already heard of those topics however I haven't dived deeper into them"

[Jeremiah already took the important parts from each study I will be showing them now]

The series of letters and images appeared inside Apollo's head. All the information gathered by Jeremiah was very detailed and important making the Apollo happy.

"These are all impressive Jeremiah thank you"

[You are welcome Creator]

While walking towards the Black Tower Apollo examine all information and find them easy to understand.

"The formula is incomplete that's all I could conclude from studying this alchemic formula"

As he examined the alchemic formula of Segundo Alfonso he noticed one problem. There is a missing ingredient that creates the reaction needed so that awakening bloodlines can occur.

"It seems like I need to understand first what reaction that is"

Apollo headed towards the alchemic lab and tried doing the alchemic formula.

"It looks good well let's see it says it should be purplish color"

Apollo said while trying to examine the alchemic potion he had made.

"Jeremiah scan this"

Immediately he heard a voice devoid of emotion.

[Scanning]

[Scanning complete attempt 1 has a 23% of success rate]

"So without the missing ingredient, the success rate only sums up to 23% it not bad however I need something higher"

[Would Creator try the effects now?]

"Yes of course I need to know what kind of reaction it needs so what else I can do other than testing it"

Then without any hesitation, he took the potion and gulped it down.

[!?]

Jeremiah thought that his Creator would test it using a magical beast it didn't occur to him that Apollo would try the potion on himself.

[Initiating total body scan....

waiting for any serious reaction...

Preparing for nullification of toxic in case of any negative effects....]

While Jeremiah began to prepare for any possible situation Apollo began to feel unexplainable heat. It started with his stomach and now spread across his chest.

[An anomaly has been detected...

Proceed to nullification..]

"No Jeremiah don't just ....let it be"

[...]

[Understood]

The heat was bearable however Apollo felt uncomfortable with the sudden heat he was feeling.

"Just think you are sunbathing... it's nothing serious..hoo"

He tried to comfort himself until the heat was gone immediately he called Jeremiah.

"Give me my body scan and how the potion reacted inside my body"

[Affirmative....

Scanning...

Data sequencing.....]

While Jeremiah began to scan his body Apollo tried to stand up. Without him knowing he suddenly collapsed on the floor.

"I should build my tolerance to heat ...hoo"

Out of all the seasons, Apollo hated the summer. The sun is too hot and he often gets sticky due to sweat thus he often hides in his room during sunny days.

Slowly he approached the table and took a glass of water.

"There that was better" he sighed in relief after drinking five glasses of water.

"So what happened what did you get"

[The alchemic formula modifies the cells inside the blood to awaken the hidden power inside it. The problem is the formula is too weak to create the adequate reaction for the power to awaken]

"Showe how the process happens"

After he said that a rectangular screen appeared before him. Inside the screen is the video of how his cells were supposed to be modified however the process was weak and soon the potion was overpowered by Apollo's antibodies.

"I need all the materials and formulas related to dark elixirs"

[Affirmative]

As he waited for an answer Apollo decided to try all sorts of herbal plants that might lead to the right reaction he needs.

"No this not what I need"

He felt like he was missing something, he needed to know what reaction was needed. Having a vague idea of what he needs won't lead him to the correct answer. Then he returned to the footage of his cells slowly changing towards the potion.

"Let's go back again"

Then he proceeds to look through the formula and remind himself of each of the ingredient's capabilities. If he could connect the effects of each material to the one missing then he could pinpoint the plant he was looking for.

"If you add these two together it could create this..."

He continued to study until Jeremiah showed him all the herbal plants and materials related to dark elixir.

Dark elixirs are a branch of alchemy that ventures the path of darkness it is not necessarily evil but if used in that way it will become one. Dark magic or black magic falls under the elements of darkness which are sometimes associated with experimentation of the human body. Born from the element of darkness are vampire mutation magic, ghoul creation magic and lich evolution magic.

There are more atrocities found in black magic that will be soon used by Apollo but for now, dark elixir will be his focus.

"There should be one here that tackles about the mutation of the bloodline...."

As he took another flask Jeremiah finally spoke bringing the materials Apollo needed.

"Let's see all of these are about...wait Jeremiah why did you add the formula for aphrodisiac here?...wait even a love potion?"

[Creator there is a certain part of each two formulas that may help you]

"And what is that?.. controlling people?"

[No, Creator but its capacity to manipulate the hormones inside the body to a certain extent, without doing too much damage to the user's body may become important for your research]

"Yes I know however prolonged use of the two can cause addiction I heard people were sent to an asylum due to it"

While Apollo said this he didn't stop scanning the formulas of each dark elixir. Each of the formulas has instructions and why each of the ingredients is important this makes Apollo's work easier.

"Let's test it again using this ingredient"

Apollo wrote down another version of Segundo Alfonso's formula which him adding one ingredient.

As he started calculating the proper amount of the ingredient he chose Apollo asked Jeremiah to recite to him the important parts of the theory of Alexis and the history of the evolution of bloodlines.

He must know which part of history bloodline awakening began rampant and at the same time connect it to the different plants and herbals that were sought after at that specific time.

"Alright we should test this first"

After adding the finishing calculations Apollo began to conduct the creation of the alchemic formula.

He first grinds and extracts the juices of each herb then uses the specific measurement he only needs. Heat, boil and distill he did all sorts of stuff in order to get the substances into their purest form. As he did so he didn't notice how day already became night.

"Psst!...hey Markoni do you know what our little sun is doing?" A senior mage said as he worriedly looked at Apollo.

"I don't know he never said anything and I was too worried to distract him so I never asked," another senior mage said while holding a pile of documents.

"Should we leave or tell him to at least eat?"

"Let's ask Sir Arthur he might know what to do"

The two senior mages left the laboratory and headed towards the tower's dining hall.

"I think I used the wrong ratio"

Taking out the test tube Apollo did think he did right seeing the supposedly purplish color turn gold.

"Jeremiah scan"

[Initiating...

Scanning.....]
