The lord of life and death

Rain with Glenn's mother walks back to his grandparent's house. Rain looks around the city, He has seen many cities but this city is unique made by the merging of branches, vines, and roots of multiple trees.

A two-tier city, the lower tier city is full of parks, businesses, and official areas and the upper tier consists of homes of the people of the city and some buildings that extend to the lower tier.

Mother," Glenn, How confident are you passing the potion preparation test?"

Rain is confident with the help of their soul chip calculation ability, he will also be able to prepare any first-rank potion. But he cannot mention this to his mother now, can he? 

So he," I am not sure, after watching the potion recipe, I can be sure."

Mother was silent for a few seconds," I feel sad, I cannot help you with this."

Rain notices Glenn's mother's sad expression," It's ok Mother. I will successfully prepare the potion and join the guild."

Mother," You will leave in four days, why did you want to join the potion guild."

Rain," If I am not a member of the potion guild I cannot sell my potions in and around the Endless Forest."

Mother," Those who are safe by your potion everybody will not know that you created the potion. Then how will you receive the power of belief."

Rain," Mother, If they feel thankful for the potion that saved them or their family, I will receive the power of belief."

"But, as Time goes on the power of belief I receive will dwindle and after some time I will stop receiving altogether."

"So, Mother I will have to go to the City of Freedom."

Their mother did not reply to him and remained silent even after they arrived at his grandparent's house. As his mother remains silent Rain hears the conversation of Tree-spirits around him in the streets.

Rain observes little tree spirits playing and running beside the street and carefully decorated stores with flowers. When he watches a tree spirit, the elf's name comes into his mind.

They are eerily similar to elves in the novel of a previous life. And from the picture of the Stone spirit he has seen they are similar to dwarfs. There were no pictures of sea-spirit but from their description, they are similar to mermaids and nagas.

There are also goblins, lizardmen, and trolls in this world. The only thing missing are Orcs, Dragons, and Giants then it will proper Western fantasy world. The Alchemist practice system looks like the predecessor of the Wizard practice system.

"The Changer profession is also like Druid." 

"There are also Gods with their divine kingdom eternally in the sky."

And a few meters distance from his Grandparent house, Rain's daydreaming breaks suddenly because of a smell. He will never forget this smell. So he turns his face from where the smell is coming and finds a dark alley," There is no one there."

"But there is no mistake of the smell." It is similar to the smell coming from the leader of the Slavers after he transformed into the blood monster, or to the zombies in the mine of Star Immortal World, or the Monsters in the weird domain." 

Rain corner of his eye watch his mother," Do I tell her?" 

Even after entering his grandparent's home, he is unable to stop thinking about the smell and saying to his mother, "I am going to my room."

He directly went to his room thinking of the next course of action.

----

Hours pass, Rain still thinking of the smell, Why did he smell this inside the city? Is there any happening in the city? Or simply a follower of an evil god is staying hidden in the city. Then he remembers the conversation he listened to on the way.

"I remember I heard when returning that tomorrow Princess Narisa is coming to the City?"

"Maybe, She Is the reason?"

"This is Alchemist world, then the smell is coming from a follower of an Evil God."

"I remember I read, there are three Evil Gods and their followers whose activities are in the Endless Forest region."

"They are- God of Spores, God of Evil Spirits, and God of Poison."

"Whose follower of the three I smelled?"

"Or it can also be from other Evil Gods."

"I wish that the Evil God's plan doesn't start before or during the rest and more grateful if it starts after I leave the city." 

"I want to increase my strength then I will not be afraid of any changes."

Rain "ugg." screams into the pillow in frustration like other Rain practices all the time and increases their strength. But he is still struck at the same realm after the last improvement by the world.

Many times, In his head came the idea of introducing rules of the other two worlds to increase his realm but he stopped as he did not know from where or to whom he received the energy. With the information he got from Star Immortal world. He is certain that the energy he receives that increases his realm by a minor realm is from the Alchemist World.

He knows what the name of Alchemist World is. "It is called Divine World."

Suddenly, He hears a knock on his room door. He quickly gets up opens the door and finds his mother.

Mother, "Albus came."

Rain, "Oh!" remember he asks Albus to visit. He starts to walk toward the living room and finds his Grandfather sitting with Albus in a deep conversation. 

As he nears them he hears their conversation," Do you know why Princess Narisa is coming?"

" No, I heard she will be going to Feromosa."

"Feromosa, then why come to Torain it's the long route."

Rain interrupts their conversation," Thank you, Albus, for coming." and sits opposite him.

Albus smiled," It's ok." 

Rain turns to his grandfather," Grandfather, Are you discussing Princess Narisa, I heard tomorrow she will arrive at Torian, the entire market is talking about this."

Grandfather," Yes, She will be coming tomorrow."

Albus," A member of the royal family is coming to Torain in fifty years, I do not think she is coming here without any reason."

Grandfather," This question is mind all the officials of Torian now."

Albus, "Nothing to do with us." then turns to Rain, "Glenn, Why did you ask me to come?"

Rain," Master Samuel ask me If I will join with him in producing my potion."

Albus," I heard good things about Master Samuel in the guild but do not stay here, So I cannot give you an opinion." 

Rain nods hearing, that he has to inquire from people who live in Torian. The thought made him turn to face his grandfather. "How did I forget Glenn's Grandparents are residents of Torian?"

Rain speaks," Grandfather do you know anything about Master Samuel?"

Grandfather nods," I know him, but you're Grandmother may know more of him."

"Your Grandmother and Master Samuel's Wife work together."

Rain," Where is Grandmother? She did not come home?"

Grandfather," Your Grandmother works in the agricultural department in the city, She is still working now because of the princess."

Albus," Glenn, I should go," Rain nods and he stands up with Albus to escort him to the door of the house. 

Albus continued speaking," I think there will be no problem in passing the written test for you but the potion preparation test may be a stump. So before you start to prepare the potion read the recipe carefully."

Grandfather speaks in surprise," There are two tests to join the guild, I thought there was only one written test."

Albus," It was before, from this season onwards there will be two tests." and again sat down.

Seeing this Rain also sits down.

Grandfather inquired, "Why?"

Albus," Holy Master Rose commands the guild to add the second test for candidates joining the guild."

Grandfather," She can do this."

Albus looks confused at Glenn's grandfather as if what he is taking, then remembers he is not part of the guild," Glenn, explain how the guild works to your grandfather?"

Seeing his grandfather's attention turn to him," Grandfather, do you know potionists are divided into ranks?"

Grandfather," I heard about it but do not know the specifics."

Rain explains," There are 6 realms of potions-Potionist, Elite Potionist, Master Potionist, Great Master Potionist, Grand Master Potionist, and Holy Master Potionist. Holy Master is the highest rank of potionist and from 100,000 potionists only 1 becomes Holy Master Potionist."

Grandfather nods and shakes his head with a self-deprecating smile," But I always do not understand those who choose to become pure potions without practicing another profession, even if they reach to become a Holy Master Potionist they will die in 1000 years."

This made Albus burst into laughter and Rain only shook his head and thought, "of how wrong his Grandfather is". The loud sound caused Glenn's mother to come out of her room toward the living room, asking, "What happened?"
