Athena: Where are you? We need to head to Scarlet Town.

"Ah! That's right…" Only then did Wil remember about the town. When they were discussing various things back at the auction house, Wil talked about his plans for the town development but forgot because of all the bidding war.

Time Traveler: I gotta clear my purple name, first. I'll contact you within a day or two.

Meanwhile, there was a commotion in forums. The incident with B1 acquiring everything had long been buried. It was replaced by E14.

Wil officially gained the title from the casual gamers, Squanderer.

Once again the haters insisted that Squanderer is Time Traveler, the person from E14, it backfired on them because of one simple post.

This post has nothing to do with Auction house but Time Traveler was the center of it.

"Am I seeing things?" The player posted the title and then, below it, there's a screenshot of the updated World rankings.

World Rankings:

Time Traveler: Level-275

Crimson Sun: Level-243

One: Level-239

Galaxy cry: Level-232

Siren: level-227

Astrophel: Level-224

Zenith Warrior: Level-224

Peaceful Monk: Level-223

Mad Wolf: Level-223

Slaughter King: Level-223

One day ago, they didn't even find Wil's name in the top 50 but now, his name suddenly topped the rankings.

The supporters and the idle guys mocked the haters for framing Time Traveler. Forget about whether he's in B1 or E14, he might have even participated in Auction or else, how would he level up so drastically. It only means that he was busy leveling up.

The haters didn't back down and argued that it might be Scarlet guild, not Time Traveler in person…

Looking at it, 'One' laughed while sitting on the throne, "while the world was busy with a bidding war, this guy is concentrating on self-improvement for the real war and silently climbed the ladder. As expected of my rival…

But, I wonder where did he get acquire billions of EXP… Perhaps Legendary grade level-400s?"

East Ocean City;

In the Scarlet Labs, everyone was busy with their work.

A fatty was helping out a girl while everyone kept on glancing at them from time to time. 

Two weeks ago, this brother of their guild leader threatened her to hand over the flame but now, he was working as an attendant to her.

They don't know what changed. Neither does the girl as she had long forgotten Wil and their deal after she was finished with making a 3-star pill.

"Okay, Uhh… So, grind the rosewood into powder, first." She ordered him as she gave him a small branch.

"Yes." The Fatty nodded and continued to grind it in a mortar. 

Meanwhile, she passed two red-colored leaves. "Add this Maple leaves too…"

She then looked at the holographic screen before her and read the instructions.

Awakening Quest: Craft a Three-star Intelligence potion.

Ingredients: Maple leaves, Rosewood branch, 2-star Intelligence potion, Water, Sage grass, Koor Root, Taramun Herb

Instruction: Grind Rosewood branch, maple leaves, Sage grass, and Taramun herbs into powder in a ratio of 3:6:14:8 that you deemed necessary. Boil the water. Add the two-star intelligence potion and the mixture.

Rewards: 3-star Alchemist.

Looking at the quest, anyone might think it is easy but the awakening quest for the non-profession class is just as hard as for the adventurers. In fact, it is even harder.

The right timing and right measure are needed for the potion.

How much water needs to be used and how long it should be boiled. How long the mixture should be boiled. What is the correct order of mixing the ingredients, etc…

These are all the factors that they need to know it.

Or they just can pay a huge amount to hire an Alchemist and let them help out.

Back to the labs, Cyrus was working hard to finish the quest, meanwhile, the newbies gathered behind her as they were entranced by the white flame that was heating the cauldron.

Amidst them, there were some important people. So, no one dared to even murmur, right now.

Fifteen minutes later, Cyrus took out the lid and a strong sweet smell of rosewood enveloped the surroundings.

Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw a cyan-colored liquid and she retracted her flame.

"Flasks…" She asked her servant.

The fatty handed the flasks to her. She then filled up the flask with the liquid.

*Ding! You crafted peak-grade 3-star Intelligence potion*3

*Ding! You completed the Awakening quest. 

*Ding! Congratulations, you are now a 3-star Alchemist. Please check the new three-star recipes on the recipe tab.

"Congratulations, Miss Ciara." She heard a deep voice from behind. 

She turns around as someone called her real name instead of her in-game name. There's only one person that knows it.

She bowed as soon as she spotted the person, "Thank you, Mr. Silver."

Under the orders of Wil, Silver started looking after this airhead for the past week. At first, he found that she was a bit too dumb and naïve and has the intelligence of a ten-year-old but then, he discovered her unique talent.

95% of the time, she fails even the simplest of the potions but the remaining 5%, she crafts pills, and potions with the highest quality.

Maybe that's due to the white flame or coincidence, he didn't know but Silver was sure of one thing. If she can be taught, maybe, she can improve. With such thought in his mind, he approached the girl in real life and offered assistance.

And his gamble paid off. With his help in real life and in-game, Cyrus/Ciara Williams was able to improve her success rate drastically.

This led him to think that her failure isn't because of her intelligence but because of no guidance. That means her talent in alchemy is very high.

"I did it!" Cyrus showed him the flask with a huge smile on her face. Silver nodded and replied, "I know. I have already talked to your Professor. You can return to your college."

Upon hearing him, her eyes widened in surprise and the smile became wider, "thank you… thank you…"

Silver waved his hands. "It isn't much. Anyway, you are leaving the city and the guild." He smiled as he put forth his hand, "congratulations, you are selected for Scarlet guild's Elite division."

She shook his hands while thanking him once again.

Everyone around them looked at her in envy. Why she of all people had to possess such an incredible flame.

They didn't know, in fact, not even Wil didn't know that there are two ways to acquire it. The first method is to craft any potion successively 100 times. The first person in the world will acquire the flame

But Cyrus acquired the flame through the second method.

She acquired Samsara flame by failing to craft a basic healing potion 100 times in a row. 

It was an achievement reward for failure and bound to her.

Because Wil saw the person who acquired the flame through the first method in the past life, he thought this girl probably transferred it to her. But the reality is completely different.

Too bad that Wil still doesn't know of the truth and Cyrus… Well, it's been two months, after all. It would be a miracle for someone like her to remember it.
