Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 19



A week has passed since I returned from the undeveloped area.

All the unnecessary items left in the old studio have been completely removed.

If it’s narrow it’s narrow and if it’s wide it’s in the middle of a spacious studio.

A bright red cloth with a luxurious pattern engraved on it was placed there.

A combination of hieroglyphs symbolizing Stania Pharmaceutical Group and the color red representing elixir.

This means only one thing.

Finally Lennok succeeded in obtaining the elixir stemonia through an auction at the auction.

A competitor caught up with him just before the day and he ended up spending all the money he had but Lennok eventually obtained the elixir anyway.

It was an old-fashioned packaging that looked as if it had been ironed as health food for the elderly but Lennok didn’t mind at all.

With trembling hands I open the packaging and very carefully take out the hidden case.

When I carefully opened the lid of the dark brown wooden box coated with gold leaf a strong scent wafted out from inside.

It’s wrapped in pure white paper so you can’t really see it but you can already feel the magical energy.

“Whoa…!”

All preparations for taking the elixir perfectly have already been completed.

The barrier around the studio was strengthened to two or three layers and a separate message was sent to Jenny to prepare for any emergency.

I spread out a blanket in the middle of the room and bought twenty bottles of water and placed them nearby.

As we do not know what will happen after taking the drug we have prepared so that we can contact the nearby fire brigade with a single button.

To that extent what Lennok was about to do now was nothing short of a great adventure in his life.

‘If you think about it calmly there is a high possibility that no significant progress will be made.’

Even though it is an elixir that is traded at a price that easily exceeds 100 million cells it is essentially a drug created for the purpose of improving the health of the person taking it.

It was better not to expect that Lennok would be able to completely eliminate the penalties he was currently hanging around.

‘In fact there may be side effects.’

If too much energy is injected it may actually have a negative effect.

That’s why Lennok’s current physical condition is extremely empty.

But still it was something that had to be addressed at some point.

Is it possible to improve Lennok’s penalty with an elixir commonly used in this world?

And if it were possible how effective would it be?

It is absolutely necessary in order to be prepared to take on more risks and travel through the back alleys of the city in the future.

I already decided and it’s been a long time since I was convinced.

All that was left was to check.

I removed the white paper and took out the small plastic cylinder inside.

A bright blue circular ring visible through the transparent glass wall was floating inside the glass bottle.

Lennok took out the elixir with trembling hands and slowly put it into his mouth.

Gulp.

The seemingly hard texture melted like cream the moment it touched the tongue and quickly disappeared into the back of the throat.

“……..”

From now on it is unknown territory that Lennok knows nothing about.

I looked up a few reviews posted on the network by people who had taken the elixir but it was bound to be a huge difference from experiencing it in person.

My heart is beating like crazy.

The liquid elixir flowing down the throat burns hotly making it clear where Lennok’s esophagus is.

The moment when the heat that had been flowing through my stomach without stopping passed upward.

Lennok’s body began to heat up.

Woe!

“ha…!”

I let out a rough breath due to the heat that instantly rose up in my stomach.

This is dangerous. The effect of the drug was significantly stronger than expected.

It may have been because Lennok’s body was too weak compared to the energy of the elixir but there was nothing he could do now.

This is a fact that cannot be known without experiencing it firsthand.

All I had to do was grit my teeth and completely digest the elixir.

Suddenly an image from a martial arts magazine came to mind but Lennok was neither a strong warrior nor capable of handling energy such as internal energy.

If I keep going like this I won’t be able to hold on much and I think I’ll pass out.

And that was the worst situation for Lennok who could not control his condition.

‘Magic power… damn it…’

I didn’t want to do something like this but I couldn’t help it.

Lennoc gritted his teeth drew up his magic power and began pounding it into his own body.

Woooo!!

Due to the penalty of mana addiction I was strictly refraining from pouring magical energy directly into my body but it was more urgent to hold on without fainting right now.

If the fever soared endlessly while you were unconscious you could have died without even realizing it.

Lennok had no intention of ending his miserable life in this one-room apartment.

As soon as you strengthen your entire body with magical power and begin to directly control your body’s biological reactions your body immediately begins to stabilize.

After this work was completed I would have to suffer from severe pain due to mana addiction for about two weeks but the first thing to do was to stabilize my body.

As I directly strengthened my physical abilities and increased my resistance through magical power it became easier to endure than before.

Rather than feeling like the heat had weakened it felt as if my tolerance limit had risen significantly.

Lennok slowly laid his body down on the already laid out blanket.

“Whew….Whew…..”

I calmly take deep breaths and somehow slow down my heart rate.

Sweat was already oozing out of my body like rain due to the excessive heat.

It is difficult to know right now whether this condition is improving or getting worse.

This was because Lennok had no knowledge of this kind and did not have enough time to acquire it.

The only reliable evidence is that there are several cases where people who are older and in poor health did not get worse after taking stemonia.

That was the minimum safety measure Lennoc could count on.

Jump jump jump!

When I felt like I was sweating too much I opened a bottle of bottled water and poured it into my mouth.

The water I couldn’t contain all flowed down the corner of my mouth but I didn’t care. Because that wasn’t important right now.

Stay like this until the heat inside your body disappears.

Supplement any lack of moisture with previously prepared bottled water.

By constantly turning his magic Lennok tried to come to his senses.

Time continues to pass.

It was after well over half a day and a full night’s sleep that the heat that was constantly rising in my body subsided.

“……..”

I never thought I would stay up all night like this again.

Lennok sighed looking out the window at the dawn with bloodshot eyes.

The main characters in the story faint after taking the elixir and wake up much stronger but it wouldn’t be strange for Lennok to end up in the nether if he did that.

The effectiveness of the elixir finally wore off after the blanket I had prepared in advance was soaked with sweat and overflowing and all but two bottles of water I had prepared were emptied.

It doesn’t seem like taking the elixir made me feel lighter or anything.

However it was clear that his condition had not worsened much even after staying up all night.

“Okay….”

Lennok who struggled to get up with a groan looked down at the blanket he had been lying on in silence.

I thought that taking the elixir might not have any apparent effects but that was a mistake.

Because of all the waste that Lenno had shed along with his sweat his blanket had already gone to the point of no return.

“…I can’t use this.”

Lennok who was looking at the blanket that was far beyond the level of yellowing shook his head.

Even if you wash it and use it there is no guarantee that it will come back.

It seemed much better to buy a new blanket.

Rather it was surprising that so much waste had accumulated in his body.

“hmm……”

Before putting the blanket away Lennok squatted down and sniffed his own sweat on the blanket.

Although it was uncomfortable I did it because I had an idea.

This is because the color of the waste that soaked the blanket was not a normal color.

If stemonia really has the effects that Lennok thinks…

“also.”

Lennok nodded after seeing the faint smell of tobacco mixed in with the black waste.

I’m sure.

Just now while taking the elixir Lennok was ridding himself of the pollutants that had accumulated in his body from smoking cigarettes.

delegation

Of course just this one time cannot erase all the side effects of smoking tobacco but the fact that the harmful effects of inhaling medicine can be eliminated in this way is a good news.

‘In the process of excreting waste from the body it also removes pollutants accumulated in the body… This alone is worth the money.’

Since it is a drug that is a mixture of strong stimulant ingredients and various types of narcotics it will not be easy to erase the harmful effects as the effect is strong but the product called elixir is definitely different.

At least we now have a way to remove the waste that accumulates while smoking cigarettes.

I quickly throw away the blanket and clean out the studio.

Lennok opened the window to ventilate the room which still had a fishy smell and sat down against the wall and began to slowly examine his body.

‘Let’s see…..’

Although I am not well-versed in the study or technology of handling the body it is not difficult to roughly see which areas have improved.

There are more than one penalty that is bothering Lennok’s body so if they become even a little lighter he will feel it right away.

‘First of all mana addiction… is much better.’

In the process of digesting the elixir I tried to strengthen my body with magical power risking mana addiction but surprisingly I didn’t feel any pain other than a slight throbbing sensation.

Originally right after I stopped strengthening my magic power I should have felt pain like a needle pricking me and all the energy in my body was drained out.

Considering that no signs were felt even though it had been quite a while since the magical power stopped it was desirable to assume that the symptoms of addiction had largely been alleviated during the process of taking the elixir.

‘The other penalties haven’t made much progress.’

I don’t feel like my entire body is overflowing with energy or my shaky body is tightly centered and I suddenly feel filled with something that was missing.

At this rate there was no need to think about [Jaein Park Myung].

I don’t expect that the lifespan penalty can be resolved with just a health-boosting elixir.

I couldn’t hold back my itchy mouth and ended up putting a piece of tobacco in my mouth.

It was difficult to stop even though I knew it was foolish since I was already discharging it as waste.

I was lost in thought as I held the fireworks lit at the tip of my finger to the end of the year.

‘In the end will this only alleviate mana addiction and at best insomnia?’

The penalty has not even completely disappeared.

He is not affected by mana addiction as long as he takes the elixir but if he starts strengthening his body with magic again he will be in extreme pain again.

In the end in order to unleash magical energy into the body without side effects you have to take a 100 million cell elixir every time… No matter how much you think about it it’s not cost-effective.

Unless Lennok is really rich enough to spend 100 million cells a day like water this is an assumption that doesn’t even need to be discussed in the first place.

‘But that doesn’t mean I gained nothing at all.’

Lennok gathered his thoughts as he exhaled all the smoke from his lungs.

Even if it’s temporary just being able to offset the effect of the penalty is enough to give us hope.

This alone confirms that these terrible shackles on his body are not a curse that he can never shake off.

okay. But that’s all.

That alone was enough.

Lennok can move more simply because there is no way at all.

It is not too late to think about what happens next.

After organizing all my thoughts my body began to feel relaxed and drowsy.

After rubbing the tobacco with slow movements he slid down to lie down on the floor.

Lennok fell into a sleep as if he were dead as the sunlight streamed in through the window.

It was truly the first morning in a long time that I spent without suffering from insomnia.

Time passed again.

Lennok rested for a week and once again realized how magical the elixir he had taken was.

The benefits of taking the elixir do not end in just one day.

He did not experience any insomnia for about a week and was able to fall asleep whenever he wanted and wake up whenever he wanted.

By getting a good night’s sleep which you would not have been able to get without taking sleeping pills you melt away all the mental stress that has built up knowingly or unknowingly.

For the first time I felt like I was getting a proper rest.

I picked up my phone for the first time in a while to contact Jenny.

In order to find out the next request it was necessary to put in a comment.

In particular since requests are received after registering a name on the deep web the ransom price is likely to be higher than before.

If you’re lucky you might be able to receive the items Lennoc wants as compensation so it was natural to give up your body.

[Too….too…..]

“……?”

I can’t communicate properly.

It’s not like I’m out of range but is the phone on the other end turned off?

It was the first time since I exchanged contact information with Jenny that her phone was off.

Lennok immediately got dressed and headed to her bar.

‘…It’s definitely strange.’

The city is too quiet.

Except for Lennok it was hard to find anyone passing by on the street.

Did something happen while I didn’t check the news section for a while?

I quickly turned on my phone and went to the news section but even that didn’t work.

“What is this….”

Could it be that something mysterious has happened in this city to the point where traffic is not flowing properly?

Lennok who instantly raised his guard immediately opened the door to Jenny’s bar.

“It’s been a while.”

Jordan who was sitting at the bar and cleaning a glass waved his hand.

Lennok who felt a little relieved to see him asked as soon as he sat down at the bar.

“Jenny?”

“I was called to a muster order. “I guess he’s being held in some unknown office right now.”

In response to Zordon’s indifferent response Lennok opened his mouth again.

“What is happening in this city now?”

I know that something so big that my cell phone is going dead is happening but I really have no way to get the information.

Zordon’s eyes widened in surprise at Lennok’s question thinking that he would definitely find a solution to this problem sooner or later.

“Have you been passed out for a week? “It’s even weirder to ask this now.”

“…….”

It’s not entirely wrong to say that I spent most of my rest sleeping.

While Lennok could not bear to tell the truth Jorden spoke again.

“Do you know any news about the Philenom Dominion?”

“I know roughly.”

“Then we’ll talk quickly. The Dominion delegation originally scheduled to arrive at the end of this month sent notice of their visit only a week ago. “Thanks to this the Balkans are in chaos right now.”

“…I guess it’s not just because of that reason.”

I understand that Jenny is away because the Dominion delegation is scheduled to arrive.

The summons issued to the brokers was tantamount to a recommendation from the city government not to do anything unnecessary while the delegation was in the city.

But that cannot be the reason why the city is so quiet right now.

The silence in this city where tens of millions of people live clearly contained something more.

Zordon nodded calmly at Lennok’s sharp words.

“okay. That’s not the only reason the city is quiet right now. “A truly unimaginable magnate has expressed his intention to participate in the Dominion’s delegation.”

“A big man beyond imagination?”

Although he hasn’t known Jordon very long Lennok has a general idea of ​​what kind of personality he is.

There is no exaggeration in his speaking skills and his words and actions are very cautious.

For someone who generally likes simple expressions to say something like this it would literally mean that a huge figure from the Dominion had visited the Balkans.

Jordon’s words which continued as expected far exceeded Lennok’s expectations.

“The transcendental ‘Cheongyeon’ who has been secluded in Philenom’s lighthouse for decades is coming here with a delegation… This is the first time in nearly a hundred years that a level 9 ascendant has visited Balkan. “Everyone is probably holding their breath and watching the central square right now.”
