The first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist above East City.
The underground laboratory at No. 12 Golden Oak Street had been lit all night.
Ian sat before his workbench, his eyes bloodshot but sharp as a hawk's.
On the table lay the draft of the fusion formula he had just completed last night.

The shadow-like patterns on its back rose and fell gently with its breathing.
Ian's gaze fell on the core section of the formula draft, his fingertip tapping lightly on the refining steps he had just finished devising.
The main ingredient for this new Potion was the complete Blood Essence of an entire Earth Barbarian Bear, which contained an extremely faint trace of the Earth Rule.
