The Corrupted Daily Life of an Alchemist Who Returned on His Own - Episode 11: Elixir

Episode 11: Elixir

When anime- and magic-studied boys who’ve stared into the abyss hear this word, surely they’ll picture this:

“A secret medicine that cures any illness.”

To interrupt the story: that answer isn’t wrong.

However—

The Elixir I made is a little different.

The original Elixir was meant to be used that way. But the one I created was further modified through magical enhancement to alter the body.

Having observed many human bodies—those of prodigies, geniuses, eccentrics, specialists—I discovered the common traits and structures shared by those who could be said to have evolved the world. And I succeeded in completing the Elixir.

It’s something so impressive that my master dropped his quill in astonishment.

To explain simply, humans born with innate talent—those called geniuses—have an overwhelmingly high compatibility and sensitivity to magic, genetically.

In other words,

It’s something they’re born with, regardless of their will.

It’s no wonder they’re called children loved by the gods.

Their structure allows them to control magic and do many other things.

What the hell is this explanation?

If you thought that, get lost now.

You’re not suited to be an alchemist.

This is the explanation from the only person who can create all things using magic.

Well, enough of that act.

My first perfect result created in another world.

That’s what I had stored in this mini space.

Even I got a bit excited since it was my first commemorative creation.

As mentioned earlier, it removes impurities and transforms the body into one that’s perfectly suited for magic.

It’s adjusted to allow natural growth up to the necessary stage.

That Elixir is now in this luxuriously decorated bottle filled with golden liquid.

—Commonly known as the Golden Drop.

Even my master drank this.

Without thorough analysis and understanding, it’s impossible to create.

And when consumed, all unnecessary substances in the body flood out from the skin. So, I needed a location for that reason.

“Alright.”

The place is somewhere I got through a deal. So it’s okay to mess it up.

The scenery is decent. Being near the sea, it’s not bad.

Maybe I should build my secret base here?

“Well, let’s take it then. I made it myself, after all.”

I open the bottle cap and down the entire contents in one go. I then throw the empty bottle away.

——*Thump, thump.*

My heartbeat rises to a level that exceeds the normal range.

——*Bang, bang.*

“Haa… haa…”

Not even a few seconds have passed, and sweat is already pouring from my forehead.

It’s intense at the start.

To put it simply: it feels like sudden-onset muscle soreness.

It’s equivalent to rewriting the entire body’s structure.

＊

Gasping slightly, I look up at the sky.

After a while—

“Is it over?”

It should’ve been daytime. But the sun is already setting.

“Uwah.”

I’m stark naked, just in case.

Because the smell of the impurities is no joke.

“Ugh, can’t get used to this.”

A slimy, gray, Slime-like thing sticking to my arm—this is the impurity.

“As expected, it’s an insane amount.”

This world puts a heavy burden on the body due to artificial substances and such.

I’m not bragging, but magic is sacred.

Naturally, it requires a high-level body and purity.

Because the body is rebuilt from the inside, all these impurities get expelled.

“Alright, let’s rinse myself off!”

This is a place I prepared to clean up. I’ve got a hose ready.

Just like at the pool, I raise my arms and wash off the impurities.

“Damn.”

Huh, it’s not coming off at all.

In the end, I have to scrape it off and clean it manually.

“Sigh… Finally got to drink the Elixir, and it ends like this.”

＊

“Oh, I recognize that circuit.”

This place—

Seems someone was considerate and remodeled an entire room for me.

It’s got a bath, kitchen, living area—it’s practically livable alone.

In front of the mirror, I inspect every part of my body.

“Yep. No doubt it’s my circuit.”

In the end, no one understood how crazy my Elixir was before I left that world.

When I showed the Golden Drop, even my master took forever to understand what happened. So that’s probably why.

Looking at this circuit—i.e., the bl00d circulation—you can see how efficient and beautiful the body’s new structure is.

“My body hasn’t caught up yet, so this part will take time.”

I stare at my skinny, bony frame.

As I said earlier, rebuilding includes skeletal structure too.

To withstand magic, it’s only natural.

Of course the body needs high specs.

From a biological standpoint, it’s a matter of male functionality.

That’s why, no matter how old I got over there, as long as I could sleep with women daily, I could go multiple rounds and fight without issue.

“Alright, let’s test it.”

I’m not that high-level yet, but I should be able to try.

“※※※※(Pierce)”

——*Boom!*

Without pointing a finger, I mutter that phrase while glancing at a vase nearby.

A spear formed of undetectable magic pierces through the vase.

Ah, you’re worried, huh?

Of course, no one can see this so-called magic.

Unless you’re on a high enough dimensional level, it’s normally invisible.

“…So this is it. I really am weakened.”

Picking up the shattered vase, I couldn’t help but mutter.

I thought I could at least float and control a 10cm-wide field.

“Well, it hasn’t even been a full day since I drank it. So I guess it can’t be helped.”

Then I catch a glimpse of my full naked body in the mirror.

Now then.

This is the immature, pre-growth body that doesn’t know women.

A truly young body, untouched by enhancement potions.

My gaze drops to my lower half—to the already proud and upright one.

The Golden Drop is extremely effective *in that area* too.

“Hmm… But this could be a bit bad.”

Sexual release might need to be addressed quite urgently.

Being young, with free time, and seeing young women—this immature body is gonna be dangerous.

Because even if my mind is mature, I still instinctively know how great the female s3x is.

It’s different from never having experienced it.

Which makes it worse.

No smartphone, so I can’t even search nearby places.

There were shops around, right?

How was it again?

Over there, as long as you paid, age didn’t matter. But here…

Over there I could even arrange a dedicated sexual service staff… hmm.

“Well, this is what *this* is for.”

Resigned, I picked up a bath towel and threw it over my shoulder. I then take the shining bottle I’d left on a shelf. I can’t help but smile at the days of pleasure ahead.

“I don’t remember much of the past anymore. But I always wanted to be a student again. Back at the academy over there, it was only nobles, no commoners. So even decent conversation was a hassle.”

I flop onto a nearby fuzzy black sofa and look up at the ceiling.

I always wanted to try it—

A peaceful student life without war or anything like that.

My life was just research, research, research, research.

I really wanted to change that.

It looked glamorous from the outside. But 80% of it was research.

What about the other 20%?

Don’t ask. Pleasure psycho~!

My master even brought women for me. Since I didn’t have a chance to release in that hellish environment.

“Starting today, I’ll take a break here and start handling stuff as it comes.”

Now that I’ve drunk the Golden Drop, there’s no need to act like a normal human anymore.

It’s a capitalist society.

Might as well enjoy it.

This is my selfish life.
