Alchemist Dream

Ah, yes, I remember. It was a great webtoon-like fantasy dream.

I was very tired and sleepy in class that I'm not listening to the lesson. Then the teacher somehow noticed me and started asking me questions about the story she's teaching.

One of the questions the teacher asked me when she noticed that I'm not listening, is that what who is the character in the story that sells potions? The class shouted "the main character!" Then after a moment, I also answered, the "main character". The teacher said to class not to answer questions when they're not asked. Then faced me and again and told me to listen more.

Then even if I was tired and sleepy as hell, I opened the book and forced my eyes open to read. I read some few lines here and there, until I heard the teacher said "lmao what are you doing? Don't push yourself too hard."

Then I fall asleep in the dream. I dreamed about the story in the book, the story about the greatest alchemist in the world and it was me? No, it's probably just my dream perspective but let's assume it's me since I dreamed about it in first person.

So I was introduced in the story as someone who is known for selling the "Madness Potion". It was a potion that seems difficult to sell at first because it gives the person extra energy but temporarily takes away their sanity. But with my marketing techniques, I managed to sell it like pancakes by convincing customers that it doesn't turn you into madman, it just makes you very energetic while letting you complete the task you're currently doing.

Because when you drink the potion, you suddenly blackout but your body becomes very full of energy, then it proceeds to do the task you're currently doing using only muscle memory but with highest energy. So your body is very much awake but the mind is asleep, allowing a person to complete the most difficult menial tasks in a short time without taking a toll in their mind because their conscious mind passed out, their unconscious instincts and intentions takes over their frenzied body.

Still, I placed many warnings on that potion, like don't drink this if there's nothing for you to do, because your body will automatically do the thing your unconscious mind really wants to do without hesitation. So no one knows what could happen. Plus the most important warning I placed there after learning the experience of my customers: "Never ever use this potion as stamina potion for sexual intercourse".

Still, many people found countless uses for this potions. There are those who use it for doing menial work. There are those who use it for studying for exams — because you don't lose memory of what you did, you just temporarily become not aware of it, so you can still learn after drinking madness potion in a blacked out state. And there's also those who use this potion for battle, because it allows them to temporarily go in a berserk state by maximizing their battle instincts.

Even though I'm only earning 1% commissions for that potion, I'm still quite rich. Then my background story was then introduced.

I'm from a secretly rich and powerful family that operates from the shadows. Whenever my dad called me to his room for something important, I see a dark castle filled with undead while dad is sitting on a large throne like an emperor. It's a normal sight for me ever since I was little, so I didn't even consider it as terrifying until I saw the adventurer's faces when they were dragged in that room.

My sisters and brothers are also overpowered. They are most influential and operate the largest groups hidden from public eye.

Then a flashback happens, I remember in a snowy place, I was young little kitten, dying of starvation and cold. Then dad found me, he was a very strong and proud adventurer. He took me to his camp and saw that there are a lot of little animals like me, it seems he saved and adopted them all. Those little animals became my brothers and sisters, and I was the youngest out of all of them.

I remember him telling us many stories of his adventurer days over a campfire. We never tired of listening to his stories. I remember him telling us "HAHAHA don't worry my kids, I have ten thousand more stories to tell you!"

Then while he was telling us his stories, the eldest sister helped him cooked food and eventually learned to cook food for all of us. One time, she cooked a new dish which is fried chicken, where dad almost choked so everyone hurried to bring him water. Everyone was worried but I remember dad saying "HAHAHA I guess I've grown old that eating food isn't easy as before!"

Then fast forward to when I began working as an Alchemist. The most difficult part was trying to sell the Madness Potion at first because no one wants to buy it. I was always busy trying to figure out a solution for that. Then a young prince came inside my shop, wearing a really good and powerful magic sword. He was asking me for help about his family but I can't intervene, I was telling him to go but he kept annoying me, so I called my dad.

Moments later, his body is now lying cold and motionless on the floor. I asked Dad if I can take the prince magic sword and he said yes. Then he told his undead assistants to clean it and bring the prince body into his castle. Such events are just a normal occurrence on our family, nothing weird about it.

Then someone woke me up from my dream, the dream ended.
