Scarlet District, East Ocean city;
In the Scarlet Lab of the player built district, Alchemists were busy at their station, crafting pills and potions.
"Hmm, Rexo Mushroom*3."
A girl threw three small green colored mushrooms into the mortar. "Done, Next…"
She glanced at the required materials. "Okay, now, add Sage grass*5… That's a bit high…" Hesitation filled her face as one Sage grass costs 10 silver. Biting her lip, she proceeds to add a shiny-bluegrass, and then, started to grind them thoroughly.
Grinding for a minute turned them into powder.
As she mumbled something, a white flame appeared in her left hand and she heats up the cauldron and manually boiled the water. Then, she added the mixture to the water and stirred it.
After two minutes, a disgusting aroma entered her nose.
Then, she takes out two potions from the inventory. The liquid is blue in color.
2* Mana Potion
Effect: Recovers 100 mana points instantly.
She poured the content into the cauldron and stirred it with the ladle continuously.
After five minutes of stirring, the disgusting aroma turned into a delicious aroma as if she smelled a perfume.
Meanwhile, a few admirers and guildmates stood behind her to see what kind of experiment this girl is doing, right now.
A few no related people also joined the crowd upon seeing the beautiful flame in her hand.
"Now…" The girl's eyes lit up and she quickly turned off the fire and brought out empty flasks before filling them with the cyan-colored potion.
*Ding! You successfully crafted 2* Mana Elixir
*Ding! You successfully crafted 2* Mana Elixir.

*Ding! You successfully crafted 2* Mana Elixir.
After filling six flasks successfully, she inspected one of them while storing the remaining into the inventory.
2* Mana Elixir
Effect: Recover 10 points of mana per second for 20 seconds.
"haha… I've done it…" The girl laughed in excitement, not even realizing the crowd behind her.
Ten minutes later, her face turned dark as the next batch became failure due to the high amount of water.
The next batch also failed due to bad heat control.
Thirty minutes later;
*Boom* After a series of failures, this time, the cauldron exploded.
*Cough*Cough* As the girl coughed making her pretty face black, the rest of them shook their heads with a sigh while thinking, 'as expected.'
In no time, the crowd dispersed, thinking she was just lucky for once. No one was interested to watch this Queen of misfortune anymore… Only one person remained.
"How…" Her voice was shaken as she looked at the cauldron in shock. "I followed the recipe perfectly. Then why…"
"One week is finished. I'm here to listen to your answer, Cyrus." A loud voice reverberated in the lab, making everyone stop their work.
With two followers behind them, a tall and fatty with a bald head who looks like he is in his mid forties was walking towards her.
The lab became silent.
He stops before her.
"You…" She stared at him in silence for ten seconds before tilting her head, "who are you?"
Everyone almost their balance, and cursed this dunce in their minds. How can she forget the supervisor of this lab, their boss? Not to mention, he's the elder brother of the guild leader.
Meanwhile, the fatty was annoyed by this girl. It wasn't even the first time they met and she still can't remember him.
Of the seven times she met him, he was asked the same question every time. At first, he got angry. Then, he became angrier thinking that she was mocking him. After that, he realized that she too dumb to remember the names of others…
Now, he was already got used to it.
He replied to her, "Can't you inspect… It's Bigmouth…"
"Ah! So, you are a Bigmouth, huh!"
"Pfft…" A person who was standing behind the girl started to laugh… Followed by him, a couple of others laugh before they heard an angry yell… "How dare you…"
His eyes became red due to humiliation. He looked at her in rage. She flinched back in surprise.
'Okay… She's done now.' Everyone had the same thought as they saw his expression. They knew that this girl didn't try to humiliate him on purpose. She was just too slow…
They can't help but look at this hardworking girl in pity as they can't go against this man. He's the older brother of the guild leader, after all.
"I forgave you a lot of times before but now I think you should be punished for not only wasting the ingredients of the guild but also for insubordination.
I'll make sure that you will never craft another potion and once, we extract the white flame from you, you'll be kicked out of the guild.
Cyrus, using my rights as the supervisor of the Scarlet labs, I'm hereby banning you from this building."
"Eh?" The girl's pupils dilated in shock as she heard his words. "Why?"
"You still are asking me why again?" The fatty became angrier, "Men, throw her out of here."
Unlike the bank or temple, the lab isn't a non-combat zone. So, one can fight here. Since the non-combat players can't fight against warriors, they were given a certain advantage.
As long as they are in the city, if they were killed by someone, then that person can't avoid the punishment unless he is a Baron.
That's why the fatty told his guards to throw her out instead of killing her.
Just as they were about to touch her, a chuckle escaped from the man who was standing behind her all along. "I thought bullying was normal in the wild zones but didn't expect it even inside the guild… Interesting…"
Since the lab is silent, his words were heard by everyone and they turned their attention towards him.
"Who are you?" Bigmouth frowned as he looked at this stranger who wore a luxurious blue robe and also a mask that lets him hide his name and face. He knew of such an item. Mask of Tranquility.
But, it was available only on Battle shop, which means this guy is a combat player and is at least a high level since not everyone could afford it.
Who knows how many people he must have defeated several people to achieve 5000 battle coins to buy such an item and that's more than a month ago. By now, he might even stronger.
Clearly, those two level-120 players aren't a match for him.
As an Elite and the brother of the guild leader, Bigmouth possesses several pieces of information that weren't available for casual gamers. So, he became cautious while looking at the stranger.
"The potion usually had 95% success rate and yet, you are failing every time despite having the Samsara flame… Quite interesting…" The stranger didn't pay attention to Bigmouth and talked to the girl. "Miss Cyrus, I have a job for you. Will you do it? You'll get a handsome reward in return.
Cyrus was taken aback to hear the name of her flame directly from this stranger's mouth. Until now, she hasn't said anyone about its name either. Everyone is calling it white flame. So, she was also calling it the same.
Upon hearing his words, she thought that he might help her with how to use her flame. She always thought her flame is the problem, not her bad luck.
"What should I do?" She asked him.
"I asked… Who are you?" Despite knowing that it might be dangerous, remembering his background, the fatty tried to threaten him to see the bottom line. "This is Scarlet labs. Who permitted you here?"
Bigmouth interrupted them.
"Scram…" A voice filled with chillness erupted from the stranger as he glanced at him.
As Bigmouth saw the eyes of this stranger, somehow, he felt a little bit of fear and he took a step back. When he realized it, he became angrier.
*Slam* he slammed the table beside him. "You dare… Kill him…"
Even if his guards die, they will get a notification of who killed them. Once he gets the name, he thought of asking Evernight guild to hunt this guy until level-1…
"Ugh… You are noisy… You three… scram away from my district."
All of a sudden, the three of them disappeared on the spot and teleported to the outside of the Scarlet district.
*Ding! You are blacklisted from the Scarlet District.
The three of them were dumbfounded to receive the notification.
Since it is private property, only an owner has the right to blacklist people using the system.
"That… That was Time Traveler…" The moment he realized it, the fatty's legs lost strength and he collapsed onto the ground.
Meanwhile, the alchemists wondered where the three of them suddenly disappeared to…
"So, now that the three pests are gone, let's talk business, shall we?" The stranger alias Wil smiled as he looked at the girl.
She nodded and followed Wil outside of the lab.
As they strolled in the streets of the district, Wil asked, "what did that idiot want from you? The Samsara flame?"
She shook her head, "I'm not sure. Maybe?"
Wil shrugged his shoulders, thinking it wasn't his business to poke in someone else's problems. He then said, "I need you to craft a three-star pill for me."
"Three-star pill?" She stopped in her tracks in shock, "but I'm only a two-star alchemist who can't even make a mana elixir properly."
"I know." Wil nodded, "but don't forget that your Samsara flame isn't an ordinary flame either. I'll give you the recipe and materials. 30 gold coins as an upfront fee.
I'll return in two days. By that time, if you can do it, then, I'll pay the remaining 70 gold coins and something bonus. Even if you didn't do it, I won't ask for returns.
Are you up for the task?" Wil asks as he stared into her eyes.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
