New readers, please carry on reading.
Old readers, please see my below announcement for major changes and rework that I've made in the story. If you don't understand anything or remember reading anything mentioned in the spoiler below, that's good. Please carry on reading.
SpoilerHi,
Bluebery here. Bad news: I fucked up because I bit more than I could chew. The whole Basilisk Circle thing is a mess, especially Sophia's part. It's bad and make things waaay to complicated for me. It also messed up Sophia's back story badly.
So here I am, scraping all of that off the story. Luckily, there's no need for a rewrite, and everyone can continue reading after knowing the changes that I've made:
New changes in the story:
Basilisk Circle and Oculars are no longer a thing. Remove all the Deadly Sins Divine Curses. Sophia is still with the MC, they are currently going to enchantment guild. Nerf MC silver, so that there's actually a need of learning how to earn money, and that will be more fun too. (Basically take away the silver bar)Because of this change, release date will slow down a bit. Patreon chapters will need a rework. I will try my best to stock up chapters again.
Thank you for reading my story, and I'm very sorry for the inconveniences.
Bluebery.
[collapse]To be able to discern special enchantment ink, one must possess a rare skill called 'Enchantment Sight'. Out of a thousand people, only about twenty may awaken this ability during their lifetime.
That leads to my ability to see enchantment ink. I obviously don’t possess the Enchantment Sight skill. However, I have something else, something special from Earth, known as Ultra-Violet sight. Surprisingly, magic and science sometimes do mix.
But what exactly is my UV Sight, and why can I use it to see the ink?
The secret lies in the properties of light itself. Light exists in a spectrum of wavelengths, which are usually measured in nanometers (nm). Human eyes can typically perceive wavelengths in the range of approximately 380 to 700 nm, known as visible light. This range doesn't include Ultra-Violet (UV) light, which has shorter wavelengths than what we can normally see. Similarly, we cannot see X-rays or Infrared light, which have even shorter and longer wavelengths, respectively, outside of our visible spectrum. However, some animals have adapted to perceive these different wavelengths. For instance, butterflies are known to have UV vision, allowing them to see patterns on flowers invisible to humans, while snakes can detect infrared radiation, helping them sense warm-blooded prey.
And the enchantment ink? They are simply inks that reflect UV light. I realized this when reading books about enchantment. I was wondering about what makes Enchantment Sight so different, and when I tried my vision on my own earrings, it worked; I could see the intricate details of the enchantment patterns on them too.
As I stand marveling at the array of enchanting ink, the dwarf merchant approaches me.
"Young man, do you have the Enchantment Sight too?" he asks, noticing my intense examination of the inks.
“Yes, I do,” I reply.
“I haven’t seen you around,” the merchant continues. “Are you new here? And are you an enchanter?”
“Yes, but I’m just a newbie, currently learning about the art.”
“Hahaha! Good!” the merchant says. “My name is Lucas, and I have been selling these inks for over fifty years!”
“Oh, that’s a lifetime!” I’m impressed. I then shake hands with him. “My name is Edward and this is my wife, Lisa.” I introduce us using our fake names.
Sophia bows, then she too shakes hands with Lucas.
“So, these inks, do you extract and process them yourself?” I ask.
“Of course!” Lucas replies with a hearty laugh. “All of them here are my hand-made inks, made using my old man's recipe!”
“That’s so Interesting!” I exclaim.
Extracting enchantment ink is not an easy task either. There are two sources of ink. The first one is mineral-based, mined from deep within the earth. The other source comes from monsters. Some magic-type monsters have either blood or saliva that can be processed into enchantment ink. However, the processing time, yield, and quality of the ink greatly depend on the person doing the task. That's why some enchantment inks can be so expensive. That radiating container over there, for instance, is probably made from the blood of a very powerful monster from the dungeons.
“Alright, I’ll take one bottle of this, please, and one of this too,” I say, pointing to two mid-range priced ink products.
“Sure thing!” Lucas hands me the bottles of ink and I give him two gold coins.
“By the way, do you need an enchantment pen?” he asks.
“Oh, do you know where I can find the best ones?”
There are many other merchants here selling pens, so I figure it’s best to listen to Lucas’ recommendation.
“Here, take this!” Lucas says, taking out a pen from his stock and handing it to me. “Consider this my gift to you, young man. Good luck with your enchantment!”
“Thank you very much!” I exclaim, overwhelmed by his generosity.
Looking at the pen, it isn’t of very high quality, but it’s not too shabby either. Made of smooth, dark wood with a comfortable, slender grip, it feels light and easy to hold. A delicate, iridescent nib crowns its tip. This is a really nice pen, the perfect pick for beginners like me.
Thus, with the ink and the pen, I then bid Lucas farewell and head straight to the enchantment room, eager to do some actual enchanting.
