[Recommendations 8321] [Dislikes 502]
- Cemetery friendship club lololol
- One shot, come on~
- And look at that elf skull's pointy ear bones lololol
- lol bumping
- Ah lol population's fucked
- Newborn 1 = 10 adult deaths
- Fr, seems like everyone's gonna die eventually;
The gallery's numbers were steadily decreasing every day.
Even after the Market appeared, nothing changed.
It had just turned the population cliff into a slow slide.
At least now they wouldn't die from minor wounds, but major injuries were still hopeless.
"Since it's a fantasy world, doesn't it make sense that there are no red potions?"
Recovery potions for 50p are the standard, right?
Why is it only here that recovery potions don't exist?
But that wasn't the case.
Recovery potions definitely existed here too.
Witches could make recovery potions.
- Witch ominous bumping lol
ㄴ Then witch hunt... gotta do it?
ㄴ You high?
ㄴ Fuck off you witch-haters
ㄴ I'll curse you witch-haters!!!
It was just that witches had been persecuted since ancient times.
The ingredients were ridiculously expensive, and there was no chance to develop or research them.
As a result, potion-making had greatly declined, and recovery potions became the stuff of legends.
VampireEvenIfIDie: If witches were mainstream...
VampireEvenIfIDie: We might've been able to buy cheap recovery potions.
In short, it was a self-inflicted disaster.
Recovery potions were just legends of "they used to make them."
Attempts with just 10kg pepper and 10kg salt yielded bizarre results.
[Market/Spices]
[Pepper 10kg] - 150p
"Market, you again?"
Yeah, buy it and be done.
Witches were so poor they couldn't even afford to make regular potions, let alone recovery ones.
Of course, no one expected instant success with recovery potion production.
So 100kg was sent at once.
Soon after, a reply came from the witch, Morone.
Morone: Th-this is really pepper?
Judak*: yes
Morone: Can I really, really use it? Is it okay for me to dare use this?
The average monthly salary for regular people doesn't exceed 1,000p.
Witches integrated into human society naturally had even lower averages.
Morone was a special case, having adapted well by leveraging her skills.
Even for Morone, 100kg of pepper was beyond common sense.
Judak*: (Do you feel my power? Kon)
Judak*: Use it however you want. Tell me if you need more.
Morone: Ahh... Th-thank you so much ㅠㅠ
Morone: (Crying black cat kon)
Witch stocks are mooning.
They're definitely heading to Mars.
"Then I should invest first."
Boost isekai survival rates and make some pocket money on the side—what's not to love about that double win?
Of course, before recovery potion research, a safe space came first.
For that, a perception-lowering potion to evade magic beasts' attention was needed...
1,000 insects, 500ml oil, beast liver, intestines, lungs, and so on.
[Item delivered!]
Morone: Eek!
Just send the potion ingredients too.
Beast liver, intestines, lungs?
[Pig Offal 2kg] - 11p
"Do they know Koreans' love for sundae?"
Not that expensive.
1,000 insects and 500ml oil?
[Mealworm 200-pack] - 5p
[Soybean Oil 1.5L] - 6p
Cheap enough not to worry about price.
Plus, with the gallery level up, a few troll bans covered it easily.
Storage was a bonus too.
No need to hunt wild animals and preserve organs to prevent rot.
Market delivers sealed.
[Good deed performed. 22p refunded.]
[Additional 11p granted.]
Limit: 22/10,000p
And on purchases? 1.5x refund.
I don't even pay taxes!
"Then just wait now."
Morone: No one's ever helped me before...
Morone: Thank you. I get why even those humans like you. I'll definitely repay the favor no matter what.
Plus a spoonful of researcher's passion.
Now all that's left is time to focus on research.
My job in the meantime? One thing.
[Category/Bunkers]
[Standard Bunker] - 50,000p
[Deluxe Bunker] - 100,000p
[Premium Bunker] - 300,000p
.
.
[Nuclear War Doomsday Bunker] - 10,000,000p
Points held: 315,000p
"Time to move?"
Premium bunker time.

"It feels like a dream."
Witch Morone's eyes trembled nonstop.
She was so happy that she even feared it might actually be a dream.
[Tuna Can 50 pcs]
[Mineral Water 500ml 50 pcs]
[Knee Blankets 3 types]
[Triangular Flask 100ml, Clear Test Tubes 50ml x3]
.
.
Items appeared out of thin air.
Not only was that shocking enough to leave her speechless, but it wasn't even all.
"H-How did you even make something like this?"
Tools common in elementary school science labs, scattered everywhere.
To Morone, they looked like impossibly advanced tech masterpieces.
-Slap!
"Ow!"
Slapping her cheeks hurt.
No, she knew before slapping.
It was beyond her imagination for a dream anyway.
"...I didn't expect daily necessities too."
She owed Judak her life.
He'd even preserved her long-lost hometown mementos she had to discard to survive.
She'd hoped selfishly for food, but daily necessities too?
Morone: Are you really giving me all this? Really? Why...
Judak*: In Korea, not feeding workers is a crime ㅇㅇ
Judak*: Gotta eat well to think well
"...Korea?"
No idea what that was.
But for the first time in centuries since her mom died, Morone felt warm kindness and comfort.
Her hut was now filled with Judak's touches.
"I'll definitely repay you."
All witches lived dreaming of ideals.
Of course, most had their spirits broken or gave up after the Great War.
Morone was one too, but not anymore.
Looking up at the star-filled night sky, beyond to the universe, she clenched her fist.
"Someday... I can reach it?"
Imagining a distant future meeting Judak, lights came on in Morone's hut.
Time passed slowly.
One hour.
Half a day.
A day or a week.
"I did it...!"
After nearly a month of immersion in research with Judak's infinite support, Morone succeeded.
Dark circles heavy under her eyes, she held a transparent flask with something red inside.
A recovery potion.
The witches' ultimate potion, now legendary.
*
The gallery was fairly peaceful for that month.
Days of moderate deaths, murders, and magic beast invasions.
But now change was coming there too.
[Low-Grade Recovery Potion]
Legendary potion from witch lore.
Rapidly regenerates injured areas; with immediate first aid, even clean amputations can recover.
"How'd you make it?"
A true legend of legends.
Thought it'd take way longer, but she actually succeeded.
Morone: Heh, hehehe
Morone: (Worn-out vibe, weakly smiling while holding recovery potion meme)
She looked half out of it.
Promised a bonus soon, I focused on the recovery potion for now.
"Even recovers amputations?"
With the clean cut condition, sure, but the performance was insane.
With these cheat alchemists around, why wash wounds with milk all this time?
"Need to test performance..."
Safety first, I was holed up in the bunker—no threats, no injuries.
Penny was turning into a homebody too, no injuries.
Volunteers for testing? Overflowing just by logging into the gallery.
[Title: Ah lol my arm]
(Image of left arm on the floor)
I had an arm
Now I don't
- Wtf what happened?
- Recent Kellarton magic beast invasion, right?
- Bro ㄱㅊ swordsmen are stronger one-armed anyway
ㄴ OP) Thanks bro lol
- Sliced by magic beast?
ㄴ OP) Blind poison arrow hit arm, cut it off before poison spread lol
ㄴ Mental strength legend ㄷㄷ;
ㄴ Doesn't it hurt?
ㄴ OP) Wanna try?
Perfect—a knight with a fresh arm amputation.
Recent timing, clean cut, matched conditions perfectly.
"I'll grant recovery."
No hesitation, left a comment.
- Judak*) Want me to reattach it?
ㄴ OP) That works?
ㄴ OP) Pls do it. I'll worship you 24/7 forever pls
ㄴ Judak*) Nah; sent it, try it
Delivered the potion to the knight right away.
5 minutes passed.
"No reply?"
No response.
- Judak*) Bro
- Judak*) Bro?
Called out, silence.
Just as I suspected eat-and-run, something clicked.
Reread the instructions.
At the bottom, two lines of warnings...
- Contains salt. May cause pain equivalent to pouring large amounts on wound
- Excessive pain from defying providence recovery speed. May hurt more than Albochil
Recovery potions came with horrific pain alongside healing.
