the Author
==================================
I started out my day as a regular totally innocent and decent person, the sun was shining, I got out of bed, brushed my teeth, dressed myself up in a dress and apron, took my usual basket and set out towards the fields
Picking flowers isn't an easy thing to do you know, not with all of the monsters frolicking around the field, mating and slaughtering unsuspecting adventurers to death, luckily for me I stocked up on 'Monster Repel' before I left
the thing is, it only works on average sized monsters, anything larger than that wouldn't even flinch, the only thing that I should wish if a large one appeared is if they have a strong sense of smell, so I'm not feeling any safer even if I have this
Well today there're travelers that just appeared out of nowhere, thankfully they thought of defeating some slimes and boars around me, not until I found out that they were weak as crap
two idiots tried to be all heroic until some slimes cornered him and dissolved his body with their acid fluids, I won't worry because the goddess Lumina announced that travelers can't die, but apparently to compensate that they would revive slightly weaker, I couldn't get too much info when Lumina visited because I was working on my new potion and under some circumstances I became deaf for the rest of the day
Today I'm picking some normal flowers to find a more suitable scent for it, my new Love Pheromone Potion, for now it smells like oranges and milk but trust that wasn't on purpose
The LP Potion's effects when drunk is to cause the user's body to secrete pheromones that doubles as an aphrodisiac, the pheromone when inhaled causes the hormones of the victim to go on overdrive and manipulates them either to frantically search for their one true love or, their mind creates a scene where the wearer of the pheromones appears more beautiful than normal
Its a working progress since I'm looking for a solution so that when other people drink it they won't fall under the effects of the potion, I've only managed because of my innate willpower and apparently being aware of the existance of the potion reduces the effects by at least a quarter, so I've been meaning to tone down the concentration of the brew so it'll be manageable for normal people
Well, I think I have enough flowers in my basket, too bad I didn't get to pick poisonous ones on the way, but sadly I don't have time to even visit the swamp nearby for those
Oh! I should try out the potion right now before I go to town, gotta check whether the effects are spot-on, whoops gotta make sure I shouldn't inhale, whelp!
"Bottoms up!"
Damn! it tastes too sweet, kinda like strawberries, which would make it more confusing, if you compare it to the smell
CLICK*
"Note to self: Remember to tweak the taste, make sure to compare taste to smell wether it may be plausibly acceptable"

WOW!
the town's having a bazaar today, numerous stalls are set up and lined up on the sidewalk, they're too enthusiastic about the travelers so I think the mayor thought they'd be able to profit from all this, too bad I think when Lumina said they're gonna start over in this world, I think it means they start out without any money or at least a small amount of it
Maybe I should visit Crazy Fong's stall over there, he might have some poisonous ingredients he brought back from his peddling
BUMP!
Ooowwww, well that hurt, who'd even accidentally bump into someone when the road's wide as hell, oh shoot! the assholes keep stepping on the flowers!
"Oh I'm sorry lady!, here let me help you!"
well ofcourse he'd help me, he did bum--
h-he genuinely looks handsome, his curly hair looks so cute, brown eyes with looks that could pierce your soul, a smile that's not filled with lust but with interest, I gotta play this cool, remember, you're an innocent flower
"Why thank you, clumsy traveler"
He kept staring at me, I didn't know whether to return it or look away, cause if I keep this up I'll melt, h-he's blushing, calm down, remember this is all the potion's doing, he's obviously not in-love with me. blush*
"Unm, there you go, I didn't catch your name didn't I?"
His eyes stared intently at mine, his body in a kneeling position, a friendly smile on his face, his hand gestured to accept the flowers he was holding onto, eye contact wasn't broken as I sensed his slight infatuation
"It's Yura"
My little lady heart managed to giggle out, but my mind kept questioning my actions, for a second I forgot all about my potion and my thoughts created a little world between us
"Wait... aren't you... Oh No! it's almost noon I have to hurry!, bye Yura!"
my senses snapped out of its trance, the thought of the potion floated up in my sea of feelings, that man almost made a woman out of me, now he's running off with one last glance towards me
My fingers combed my bangs from blocking my eyes, that man's back wore such huge confidence, even if he was as weak as a slime right now, he'd probbly become someone the others should reckon with
"So you noticed it too Yura?"
Roger's goblin body waddled in such a weird way that I actually thought, he was cute, maybe it's why he was popular with young women and his waitresses
"Yeah, he has something that none of us could ever retrieve in our lifetime, something we just threw away without regard, now I just hope he keeps it that way"
'That' should be cherished as much as you can, because in the future if you encounter such a situation, you'll have nearly no choice but to thow away 'that'
"Oh Yura!, you should probably check on your tower, I sent someone to accomodate that request you left me, you should probably hurry before she touches something she shouldn't have"
OH SHOOT!, I sprinted so fast, I hope I arrive in time, I left such a potion in such an inprotected place, I slammed the tower entrance open, and ran up the floors until I was at my office
A rather petite girl held a potion of gold and silver hue, her body shuddered every now and then
"What the Fuck!"
I quickly set down my basket and snatched the vial out of her hand, I could see from her squinting eyes, streaks of pink were outlined around her iris, her pupil was slightly shaped into a heart from that moment I knew she was too far gone

"I won't let you meet my Leoth!"
she started to shout out in a cute way, her arms outstretched and her eyes firmly closed when she said it, but if she id say such a thing, I took out a syringe filled with tranquilizers but I knew it wouldn't knock out such a person but probably calm her down a bit
"Damn, She inhaled too much of the Pheromones, she's in a state of loveshock, only the person she's looking for could snap her out of the trance, the main problem is the symptoms never wear out until she meets him, hopefully the depressant in the syringe should calm her down so she doesn't go on a rampage hunt, plus she's probably the new recruit that accepted my flier"
I should proably remember to lock my office door... Oh wait! My office door doesn't have any locks!
I took out my mana recorder CLICK*
"Note to self: Remember to install locks on the office door"
and pocketed it back
An idea started to pop in my head
"Hey! hey, listen to me, My name is Yura"
She rolled her eyes and looked away
"I know of a way to get what you want!"
she looked back, I got her attention, now I need her cooperation
"You have to help me with what I want, if you do you might be able to meet with that guy 'Leoth' that you were talking about"
Hehehehehe I could use her symptom to my advantage, I could get her to do all kinds of experiments that I've wanted to do before, and as an added bonus I get to teach someone about the wonders of alchemy, she could share the trade!
Now it's time to seal the deal!
"Hey Girl!"
"... Thalia"
"OK, Thalia, I can make you beautiful so your Leoth guy friend would fall in love with you in a heartbeat"
Oh look her eyes are sparkling, I think I got her, hook, line and sinker HEHEHEHEHEHE
Now let's start this experiment, HEHEHEHE
*Day 1 of my beloved subject*
If she's going to be of any help to me, she's going to have to obtain some resistance, specifically poison resistance and spore resistance
An alchemist is useless if her specialty excludes poison and parasitic plants, she's goin to lose a whole lot of business if he's tha stubborn, therefore she need to obtain a certian amount of resistance to be able to fiddle and brew antidotes and vice versa for such occasions, almost all alchemists profit from selling either potions, antidotes and poison brews
I made her drink poison the entire time, I asked her whenever her HP hits the red then I feed her health and stamina potions to get back on her feet and do it again
*Day 2 of my beloved subject*
I taught her the epitome of alchemists, the skill 'Identify' it is one of the most fundamentals of all artisans, the ability to discern species, effects and quality of an ingredient is needed in order to prevent accident during transactions
Various plants have adapted to protect themselves or inflict pain upon unsuspecting herbivores, poisonous plants tend to appear to look safe or copy another plant's appearance and non-poisonous ones obtaine the ability to secrete pheromones that attract huge monsters to protect them, plants have a lot of seld-defense systems and that's where identify does its work, 'Identify' describes an ibject or living being by collecting and compiling the knowledge already known by humanity, if it lacks any information needed then it's your job to find it out
*Day 3 of my beloved subject*
Experience is needed for every individual therefore Thalia must brew at least 2 batches of Health potions and another 2 batches of Stamina potions which makes a total of a dozn batches that should be done within 2 days, if she can't complete such an easy task then what good is she
*Day 4 of my beloved subject*
I may have underestimated that loli, she came out of her facility and asked me to teach her how to make landmines, well I did know how, since I created stink landmines for pranks but she's neglecting the assignment I gave her, I asked her about it
and she told me she was already done
I didn't believe it at first so I stormed into her facility and lo and behold, her quota was already bottled-up and put into a rack, ready for shipments, so in defeat I had to teach her about such a thing
*Last Day of my beloved subject*
Since she was already done with mt assigment, she was already over-qualified as a novice alchemist, now her remaining work is to discover new species of ingredients and concoct new potion for the people as an alchemist of thos generation
I walked up toward her room which is the secret basement behind the file cabinets on the first floor, the door was slightly open and there were some thing on her desk, it was a mini landmine, she placed it carefully on the table, and took out a small innocent mouse and dropped it directly on the landmine
BOOM!
mice organs splattered on the priceless table I bought in a sale, I was kinda angry and was about to storm in and scold her when the organs suddenly twitched and moved
They were literally rolling toward a small beating heart at the center of the table and mashed together to form a mouse-shaped flesh ball, skins started to appear and bristles of white fur grew out
at that moment I knew what it was, a homunculus, a forgotten art of an alchemist, magic formations to be able to create such homunculi were thought to have been lost forever, it was one of the exclusive magics that alchemist were able to do along with transmute
What's surprising is I never taught anything about alchemist magics, not even the basics such as 'Fuse' but from all of that, she was kinda cute as a volatile girl who loves explosives
Now should probably go back upstair before she comes out of her room and sees me
"How cute, a 13 year old playing with explosive, aaaah~! I remember those days as a kid, especially the stink bomb in Darius' secret facility"
well seriously, she might even surpass me, I wish that Leoth guy wasn't protected by such a spoiled little sister figure then I'll be there pouncing on him, I remember a guy was waving at someone before bumping into me, coincidentally, that was Thalia and apparently that sweet guy was Leoth
"Wouldn't it be romantic to have a husband who's handsome, nice and someone I could experiment on, Aaaaah! the feeling down there gives me the shivers!"
Now that it's just me inside this tower, it's time to do sure pleasuring business, I've been holding back myself, and I can feel that I can't stop my urges
Aaaaaahnn~!
I should probably make a homunculus to give to tht Leoth guy, I'll make it look like me and make sure she falls in love with him, then I'll just install surveillance crystals in her body
... or!
Better yet, maybe I should go with them!
I'll make both Leoth's and Thalia's lives more interesting and help them stock up with potions, I'll probably be able to expand my business to other towns once he starts adventuring around Wysteria
NAH!, why should I go through such heights for such a man like Leoth, it's not like I've fallen for his looks, or something like that
but...
What if I have fallen for him, and to a guy I just met, he makes my heart bump like a jackhammer, just thinking about him makes me go..
sigh*
I should just let him go like the other guys who tried to propose to me, they've moved on and forgotten a crazy experiment whore woman like me
Will he even accept someone like me?

8 112Monsters as Men(A good v evil story based on reincarnation in different worlds)
The Monsters have taken over the universe. With their corrupting system behind them, which they use equally for power and recruitment, no one can compare to their strength. Good has been nearly eradicated, with its god slain, and the one who picked up its Mantle tempted to evil. In contrast, the god of Evil is growing, getting stronger. Only one person can defend the world against this threat. This is the tale of the Bluejay. The magic system in this world is based on a few types of energy: Note(for Songs), Will(for Thought), Mana(for ordinary magic, because I felt like it), Spirit(for Spirit Magic), and Dominion(for Aura). This is very much a work in progress. Any suggestions are welcome. This is set in the same world as my other story, Spirits of Eternity. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
