Fantasy Family Simulator

Chapter 5: Recovery

Translator: Henyee

In any case, this was only a simulation. It would not affect anything no matter what happened.

After swallowing the mysterious liquid, Reiter closed his eyes and sat on the spot. Inside his body, an earth-shattering change occurred. This drastic change transformed his body invisibly. Although the structure did not seem to be any different, the essence of his life gradually improved.

However, this process did not seem to be easy.

From the frown on Reiter’s face, it could be seen that he was enduring intense pain. It was as if tens of thousands of Iron-Legged Ants were climbing and biting his body. It was as if he was being pricked by needles and burned by flames. Waves of pain assaulted his mind.

He endured this pain with determination, but he thought to himself, “It’s indeed a bloodline potion. It’s a treasure that only pharmacists in the Saint Domain are qualified to refine.”

As the name implied, the Bloodline Potion could change a person’s bloodline. According to the difference in bloodline, it would affect a person’s future talent, physique, and so on.

However, it was rumored that refining Bloodline Potions was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, and refining high-quality Bloodline Potions was even more difficult.

Moreover, the process of absorbing the Bloodline Potion was not smooth sailing either. According to the difference in the level of refinement, there were varying degrees of unknown danger.

For example, if there was a difference in the effect of the absorption, the pain of the absorption process would be different, and most importantly—the success rate of absorbing the Bloodline Potion.

From the looks of it, although Reiter could not understand the quality of this bloodline potion, he already felt that it was very difficult to absorb it.

The berserk medicinal properties, the clash of bloodlines, and a series of mysterious powers were constantly destroying his body.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Reiter’s mouth. His expression was ugly. If this continued, he probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for long. He would die.

Time gradually passed, and half an hour passed.

Reiter’s eyes were tightly shut, but the skin all over his body had turned a magma-like dark red. He was still trying to endure the pain when a thought suddenly came to him.

“It’s done, but I’ve also reached my limit.”

However, he still widened his eyes and roared, “No!”

Immediately after, there seemed to be a weak explosion in his body. With a bang, his body exploded into a few pieces. There was no time to appreciate the tragic state of his death. Reiter only felt a trance in front of his eyes, and his surroundings were filled with warm light again.

Reiter lay on the chair and slowly regained his senses. Warmth radiated from the burning fireplace behind him. Since it was his first time performing the [Real Simulation], even though his body had returned to its original state, Reiter still spent a certain amount of time adapting.

The feeling just now was too real. It was exactly the same as experiencing it personally. After recovering, Reiter pondered. He had really returned to the Deep Rock Castle, and it was at the position before he activated the [Real Simulation].

“It’s just a pity. I’ve clearly finished absorbing it just now.” Reiter sighed to himself.

[The real simulation has ended. Please choose an attribute that you want to keep.]

Seeing this scene, Reiter was momentarily stunned, but what followed was ecstasy.

So this was the secret of the Real Simulation. In addition to being able to enjoy the simulation process in person, one could also retain one’s constitution, combat aura, or spiritual power after it ended.

“Since that’s the case, I won’t stand on ceremony!” Reiter excitedly chose the first option [Constitution].

At the end of the real simulation, he had already completely absorbed the Bloodline Potion.

However, the remnant of the medicinal power did not end. It was still wreaking havoc in his already riddled body, becoming the last straw that crushed the camel. He had no choice but to end it regretfully.

At this moment, as he recalled the state he was in before he died, a thoughtful look appeared in Reiter’s eyes.

In the last few seconds before his death, he had already felt the power of the bloodline deep in his body. It was very similar to the ability of a Class 6 magical beast, the Spirit Rock Lizard.

Apart from greatly increasing his Earth Elemental Affinity, this bloodline would also allow him to gradually master a few innate spells as his strength increased. Most importantly, its resistance to poison would greatly increase. This was also the greatest characteristic of the Spirit Rock Lizard.

It was just enough to solve his urgent problem.

At this moment, a warm current surged in his body. This time, Reiter did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt quite comfortable.

In just a few seconds, he felt an earth-shattering change in his body.

Success!

Reiter’s eyes flashed with a strange light. He felt the magical power of the bloodline again.

First of all, the most direct change was naturally in terms of talent.

As soon as he activated his spiritual power, Reiter could feel that his affinity with the Earth Element had increased by a lot. It was more than three times as high as before.

In the past, his talent was only low-grade, but now, he estimated that he already had medium-grade mage talent. After all, he had only refined the improved Bloodline Potion and had not become a Spirit Rock Lizard. There were still many differences between the two.

For example, magical beasts did not need to deliberately cultivate. As long as they reached adulthood, they would reach the corresponding level.

But after refining the Bloodline Potion refined by a powerhouse by the Saint Domain, the talent brought about by it had improved to a certain extent.

However, the Spirit Rock Lizard’s spell was inherited by Reiter. When Reiter sensed the surrounding earth elements, he instinctively felt an inexplicably complicated trajectory.

As long as he used his mental power to control the earth element according to this trajectory, he could release a new spell.

This made him curious. However, it was clearly not a suitable place to experiment in the castle. Moreover, even if it was a talent spell, it only allowed him to quickly learn it. Moreover, when he released it, he could not instantly cast it or reduce his consumption.

There was also the most gratifying change. The effects of the White-Headed Eagle Poison in his body were gradually decreasing, and as time passed, the White-Headed Eagle Poison seemed to be continuously weakening.

Because of this, Reiter’s entire spirit became better. Although the Spirit Rock Lizard could not give him an obvious increase in his physical body, due to the loss of the White-Headed Eagle Poison, Reiter’s appearance seemed to have become a few years younger.

When he looked in the mirror again, most of the hair on his forehead had faded. Reiter’s lips curled into a smile. However, after some thought, he decided to cut off the tuft of hair on his forehead first to avoid revealing the fact that he was close to a full recovery.

Moreover, when he thought about how he could go to the nest again in reality and take the Archmage’s relic, Reiter felt a strong sense of satisfaction.

After all, he could use the Bloodline Potion again.

It was no longer useful to him, but it did not mean that others could not use it. However, before he could find a way to control the side effects, he did not dare to let his sons try it easily.

As his body returned to normal and he steadily retreated from the front line, everything seemed to have a bright starting point again.

At the thought of this, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his mind, causing Reiter to pause. He picked up his teacup and downed it in one gulp.
