Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

"So, do you mind telling me what happened to you? Your blood lust is still very strong." The old man was peering out of the window while he asked Lucas the question.

Lucas stood there and after a few moments, he came up with the only explanation he could have for now.

"As you already may know, chaos energy resides inside me. And I need an output for it to not make me mad… just like this one."

"Hm… I knew you had some in you but the amount didn't seem like much of a trouble. But it seems you are unable to control it properly which is quite disappointing and bad."

Lucas looked stunned after listening to his master say that.

"Alright, I have decided, with Alchemy, we will be helping you control this chaos inside you."

"You know how to control it?" Lucas couldn't help but ask excitedly, the root of his problem would finally be treated properly.

"What or who do you think I am, brat? There is not much that I do not know about this world."

"Please! Tell me, master!"

It was a sight to behold, Lucas had fallen on one knee kneeling in front of Sam with his head down.

Sam looked at him from above and snorted, it was the first time Sam had seen him so desperate out of all the time he had been with Lucas.

"The easiest way would be just to let you go berserk which I assume you had been doing all this time. It's the barbaric way, not suiting to alchemists such as ourselves."

"The option for you as an alchemist is to become an advanced alchemist and make the 'Chaosbane', which is an advanced tier potion. Just making it would need a couple million gold to spare."

"Gold or notes?"

"That's gold for you and it's the kind of money even I would take a few months to amass by making world-class potions. But that is the least of your worries, the ingredients reside in a place that is the worst of all, making them expensive but also, VERY RARE."

Lucas got the feeling that his master should offer him to do it yet there was also a fact that Sam had no reason to do so.

"Anyway, I don't like dropping these big word bombs on you but I don't have a choice. It will take a long time for you to make that potion, a couple of years even after your talent and my teachings."

The more Lucas heard about it, the more he felt sad yet also, there was still some hope left for him. He had the option to get rid of it, he had high suspicion about it as the chaotic energy inside him was coming not from within him but from the mark on his body.

He had already felt very weird that nobody had noticed the mark on his body when Ella and Sandra only took a few minutes to notice.

'I don't think telling him about the Mark would be a good idea… Fuck."

"Don't go off to your own world again, I am not finished." The old man said with a wave of his hand getting back Lucas's full attention, "You should also know that if the amount of that chaos energy inside you increases, then the church will try to subdue you or make you a lifelong prisoner. So, we don't have much time."

Lucas just clicked his tongue when it came to the church and that seemed to brighten Sam's mood.

"And to not make you feel betrayed, there is a reason why I am not offering to make it for you. This is a good catalyst, Lucas. With this adversity, your speed and focus would increase a lot."

Lucas nodded but his teeth were still gritted.

"I want you to be addicted to alchemy and make it your whole life. By doing this on your own, I am confident you will focus truly on alchemy."

Sam observed Lucas whose emotions were still in turmoil, he could feel the faint bloodlust coming out of him.

Sam only sighed in reaction thinking what to do with this disciple, he was rash in making him a disciple and forgot to check for any cons yet now, the deed was done, Lucas was Sam's disciple.

"Do you know how to fight?" Sam asked without looking, his mood grumpier than ever.

"Yes?"

"Ugh, be sure and tell me! Do you know how to fight?"

"Yes, master!"

"Okay, I will get someone to take you to the forest tomorrow morning. For now, train with alchemy and rest."

Lucas darted his gaze toward Sam and soon, a natural smile bloomed on his face. Sam noticed it and couldn't help but chuckle. The kid who was so gloomy switched to happy so quickly that it was kind of creepy.

Lucas said thank you again and left the room with happiness, Sam finally sat down on the chair and looked out the window with peace.

'He doesn't befitt being an alchemist, I know that but… Haahhh that class of his has too much potential, I can't leave him be." Sam had determined and nostalgic eyes, there was some sadness in his eyes, the reason? Nobody knew.

The whole day, Lucas practiced his alchemy and went back to his room late at night.

Just when he sat down on the bed and started enjoying the coziness, disturbance came knocking.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Ugh, FUCK." Grumpily, Lucas went to the gate and opened it slowly finding the annoying girl standing in front of him again.

"What do you need again?"

"Um~ You are soo rude~" Lila said with an innocent face.

The way she acted, Lucas couldn't imagine her being the leader of such a big gang in the town.

"Again, what do you need?" Lucas asked with seriousness.

"Tsk" Suddenly, her persona changed to serious too.

"I heard you got arrested today, you being out so early means your master bailed you out himself, not too rare. Anyway, can I come in?" She asked the last part in innocence again.

"No, meet me in the morning."

SLAM!@@novelbin@@

A vein popped in Lila's head as she walked away slowly down the stairs in defeat.

Lucas didn't care, he was too tired and wanted to just sleep now.
