Berserk Stick System

Chapter 5: Consuming Elixir



The third day since I hunted with Silvie, we were currently in the forest. Hiding behind the trees, I waited for the opportunity to kill my prey.

Right near us, there was a lizard that was about two meters in size. The lizard had sharp blue scales. Besides that now and then it would stick out its tongue and hiss.

Silvie and I are now used to hunting. The two of us have no more trouble fighting wolves, and now it’s our first time fighting this blue lizard. We avoided it before because it looked dangerous.

Pulling the bowstring, I nodded at Silvie after that shot it at the lizard. The lizard seemed to be able to sense the danger behind it and dodged it.

I saw this didn’t stay still. Approaching the lizard after that took out a dagger from my belt I tried to stab at its head but was blocked by its elongated claws.

Seeing that I couldn’t hurt her I stepped back.

“Hiisss…”

The lizard hissed at me, angry that I had bothered her.

“Ice Bullet”

Silvie cast the spell she had just learned. Several sharp, palm-sized chunks of ice quickly moved towards the lizard and hit its back. It made a few scratches but didn’t hurt it.

I also tried to attack it again, but suddenly the lizard opened its mouth and let out a strange liquid. I saw this, tried to dodge quickly.

Seeing where the liquid was going, made me gulp. The tree that was hit by the liquid had parts that melted as if it had been hit by a terrible acid.

“Silvie distract it using your magic, I will try to harm it”

Hearing what I said, Silvie started casting her spell again.

“Fireballs”

“Ice Bullet”

The lizards that saw this tried to dodge, but still got the impact of Silvie’s magic.

I who didn’t want to lose the chance stepped forward and attacked the lizard’s neck with the dagger in my hand. But it turned out that the skin was so hard that the dagger in my hand bounced violently.

The lizard that saw me near it started to pounce on me. I fell down and the lizard was currently right on top of me.

“Lute!!” Silvie saw this rushed towards me.

The lizard opened its mouth, trying to eat me. I who saw this was horrified, quickly using the dagger in my hand, I stabbed the lizard’s throat.

The lizard screamed in pain, shortly after that it stopped moving.

[+500 Battle Points]

Silvie pushed the lizard aside, after which she checked my condition with a very worried face.

“Are you okay? Are there any parts of your body that are injured?”

“I’m fine Silvie, just a few scratches,”

I said to Silvie, showing my hand which had a slight wound from the lizard’s fangs, as I stabbed its throat with the dagger.

Silvie who saw that there were no serious injuries finally felt relieved and hugged me tightly.

I saw this couldn’t help but smile and hugged her too. We were both in this position for a few minutes, before she let go with a flushed face.

“So is it over?”

“Y-yes,”

“Let’s go home after I finish cleaning this,”

“Um,” Silvie nodded slowly.

I went to the lizard corpse and put it in the Inventory.

During the return journey, we didn’t talk about anything. Although Silvie seemed curious about where the lizard corpse had gone, she seemed too embarrassed to ask.

After arriving at the orphanage, Silvie rushed to her room quickly.I couldn’t help but laugh, seeing this.

Now I plan to go to the river which is near the village. I will clean my body and try drinking the elixir after that.

The surrounding river is surrounded by trees. There is a waterfall that flows swiftly. The water in the river looks very clear, which proves that there is no dirt in the river.

On the bank of the river, there is a boy who looks forward as if pensive.

Looking at the status window I have now I smile with satisfaction. Now my rank has gone up even a bit. Yesterday I only got 200 Battle Points and 500 Love Points.

But after seeing my race in question I frowned. Actually, why is my race being viewed by the system like this?

“Hey system why is my race still being questioned?”

[After the host’s body is examined, the host has half the lineage that is not owned by humans, half the lineage belonging to the host cannot be known by the current system]

“Hah? Is there a way for me to find out my other bloodlines?”

[If the host wants to know his lineage now, it will require 1,000,000 Battle Points]

I who heard the number of Battle Points only to find out my lineage was dumbfounded.

“Isn’t that too much just to know my bloodline? Isn’t this blackmail!!” I shouted in disapproval.

[Your bloodline host is very special, even the current system doesn’t know what bloodline is in your body]

I heard it could only be silent in disappointment. Instead of thinking about my unclear lineage, I’d better think about my problem now.

“Well fine, quickly give me the Growth Elixir I want to drink it,”

[Received, Item has been purchased]

Looking at the glass bottle in my hand I had a bad feeling because the liquid inside looks very cloudy.

‘Is this okay to drink?’

Opened the bottle cap, tried to smell it. It had no smell at all.

“Well, I don’t care, because it’s from this system it should be fine,”

Swallowing the liquid in one gulp, I tried to feel what would happen next. After a few seconds, I didn’t feel anything.

“Did nothing happen, hey system why-“

But before I could even finish my sentence, I fell and my body started convulsing.

‘W-what happened? did I drink poison’

My vision started to blur, after that, I slowly closed my eyes and passed out.

….

I woke up and felt my whole body covered in sticky liquid. I got up and saw how I was.

Right now my body is covered in a stinky sticky black liquid. If other people saw me now they would vomit, and think I had just fallen into animal dung.

“Uweehk.. what is this smell? so rotten,”

Quickly taking off my clothes, I immediately jumped into the river. Cleaned every crevice of my body hoping the smell would go away. Even after cleaning I still brushed it vigorously.

“System, What’s going on? How was my body covered in a stinky sticky liquid, did you just give me poison?”

[The host is the impurities that your body currently has, the Elixir will strengthen your body and remove the impurities that have been settling in your body]

‘So this is what it meant to be prepared before drinking it, it’s terrible I hope I won’t experience it again,’

I tried to get out of the river, but I heard someone calling me.

“Lute are you here, mom was looking for you a long time ago,”

Silvie who suddenly came towards me was surprised to see my current state. She immediately covered her reddened face with her hands.

“Wh-w-why are you naked?” Silvie spoke while shouting.

“Surely I finished cleaning my body, hmn.. what’s wrong Silvie, do you want to see my body? Then please have a look to your heart’s content.”

I came out of the river, placed my hands on my waist, and said confidently.

“N-no way I want to see it,”

Despite saying that, the hand that was covering her face had a slight gap in her eyes.

“Th-that’s big…” Silvie mumbled so quietly that I couldn’t hear her.

“Hah? What did you say, Silvie,” I asked curiously.

“You stupid, shameless, pervert get away from me [Fire Balls],”

Silvie shouted and threw a fireball at me. I saw the fireball rush towards me, ran, and jumped into the river.

The river water exploded with fireballs, the strong waves killed the fish that lived there instantly.

The me who tried to see Silvie again had gone far away.

“Hahaha… her reaction is so funny,”

After I cleaned my clothes and put them back on I sat by the river looking at my current status window.

My rank has gone up one level, I’m quite satisfied to see it. Although now I have to collect more Battle Points.

‘Looks like I need to buy skills to use since I don’t have any skills right now,’

I feel my eyesight and senses are sharper than usual. My skin also felt smoother, I think this is the result of drinking that strange Elixir.

I hate to admit it, but the Elixir is really good even though when I drink it my body will excrete very rotten feces.

“If possible I don’t want to experience it again,”
