Potions and Scrolls
Aizen looked at the two plants, with a grave expression. He couldn't find many Sunflowers or Eoflollas, so he couldn't fail very often.
'Well, let's get started.' There wasn't a specific recipe for this potion, so he'd have to figure it out. He would try to make the potion using the usual method.
First, he put the Eoflolla in the cauldron. Surprisingly, Eoflolla took over 1 minute to dissolve. Then he placed the Sunflower, which took the same amount of time as Eoflolla to dissolve. After that, he stirred the liquid in the cauldron.

【Potion failed】
Aizen received the system notification. His expression turned thoughtful.
'The usual method doesn't work…' Even after using rainbow energy, the potion could not be made. He then decided to try another method.
-
【Potion failed】
…
'Why?'
-
【Potion failed】
'What am I doing wrong?!' It was already his third failure. Now, he has only 3 attempts left. He couldn't succeed, because Sunflower couldn't mix with Eoflolla, it was similar to oil and water.
'Maybe the high pressure…' Aizen had a sudden idea. Eoflolla and Sunflower can be forced to mix under high pressure. However, he could not do this experiment in this room.
-
Aizen went in an open field, with no people to bother him. He would do his experiment there. First, he strengthened the cauldron's resistance using magic matrices. He wasn't sure if this would work, but it was a worthwhile attempt. After adding water to the cauldron, he increased the temperature of the water.
'Well, maybe it's better to use rainbow energy now.' He injected rainbow energy into the water, causing it to emit a spectacular glow. He threw the plants into the water and closed the cauldron.
Dense mana emanated from Aizen's body. He used the element of air to increase the pressure inside the cauldron.

*BOOMMM!*
The cauldron began to shake. Aizen continued to increase the pressure.

'It worked out?' After a few minutes, he decided to check if the experiment had worked.
【Power potion successfully made】
The system warning revealed a smile on Aizen's face.

༺═────────────────────────────═༻
'It's still not enough…' He thought. The negative effect of the potion was very problematic, no one would drink a potion that could kill him.
'Maybe I can lessen the negative effect using Laceflower…'
Aizen had an idea that might work. Maybe using Laceflower and other plants that could lessen body damage, the power potion's negative effect could decrease. He took other plants and decided to go back to his experiments.
Only 2 attempts left.

When the star was already setting, Aizen was still with his mind sunk in his experiments.

【Congratulations, you created a new recipe. An announcement will be made on your behalf】
【You were the first player to make an Epic item, an announcement will be made on your behalf】
'Perfect!' Aizen looked at the information with a satisfied expression. The negative effect was quite weak when compared to the previous one. He was sure this potion would sell a lot, especially among players.
'Now I can focus on my second objective.' He was also thinking about making magic scrolls.

Magic scrolls are scrolls that contain stored spells. Anyone could use the spells stored in the magic scroll, even if they didn't know about magic. Also, they are usually worth a lot of money.
To make a scroll, it was necessary to program a spell into the scroll using magic matrices. People who work making scrolls are called Enchanters.
'This time I'm playing at home.' His knowledge of magical matrices is quite significant.

*Sigh!*
Aizen sat on the floor, with a tired expression. He didn't mind the system ads as he was used to it. He had gone several days without proper sleep, his mind was heavy. He wasn't tired from lack of energy, but he was tired mentally.
He lay down on the green lawn and closed his eyes, without realizing it, he ended up falling into the Dream Realm.

Sins of the Father
Tell my story? Now that's an idea. I am called many things: the Lord of Souls, the Shadow of Death, the Undying Dreamer... I sired the Awakened of old. I have turned beggars into kings and kings into legends. I have argued the nature of man with the fathers of philosophy and spoken of gratitude with the first Sage. Since the dawn of my existence, I have walked the path of power with regard for little else. During the Great Trial, humanity's greatest hour of need, I dragged them from the jaws of their self-inflicted ruin for the sake of my beloved. Even now, few know the truth of it all. I am not a saint or a god. I am a watcher, a judge, a tormentor, and a killer. I am the Father. *** This is a cultivation story about an inhuman entity on its journey of power and self-discovery. The Father's story starts in ancient history and ends in a distant future but the majority of will take place in a near-future post-apocalypse setting. That said, the Urban Fantasy and Post-Apocalypse tags will be hinted at but won't come into play until Advent 3.1: The Great Dream. They'll come fully online at the start of the 3rd arc or 4.1 (story isn't there yet).

The Cyclical Nature of Time
A girl’s life ends unexpectedly early, or so it would seem. Instead of eternal nothingness, she wakes up in an empty valley with no clue how she got there. Taking her predicament in stride, she sets out to do something about it. Unfortunately for her, the first couple of people she meets aren’t much help. They claim they haven’t heard of electricity and dress as if they were on a break from their job at a Viking-themed amusement park. MC is a somewhat normal girl. She's pragmatic and not very angsty. The story is tagged with anti-hero, but to be clear, she is not a villain. She does good if she can, she just isn't morally motivated to do so. The story starts out smelling of fantasy but will eventually shift towards sci-fi. It contains some supernatural elements and has a strong lead, but it is not your usual power trip. Expect a story that takes its time, but not to the point where entire chapters are spent on mindless chit-chat. I’m not into that. This is my first serious attempt at writing and I've learnt a lot writing this. Unfortunately, that shows. Chapter 1-10 is slow and rather pointless. Things get better, but it is not until chapter 25 or so that I began understanding how to structure chapters and to make them support the larger story. I publish about 3000 words a week (every sunday) but I write about 10000 words a week. Sticking to that pace, which is easy, the last chapter will be out by July.
