FLAAASH!

The materials converged together, as a five large potion bottles filled with a golden liquid emerged from the cauldron, one after the other, and floating in midair. They shone with a bright golden aura, exuding a slight amount of divinity…

Ding!

[You and [NPC: Acorn] have synthetized the [Divine Shapeshift Elixir (A+ Grade)] x5!]

[You earned 50000 EXP]

[The [Divine Shapeshift Elixir (A+ Grade)] Potion Recipe has been registered.]

[Congratulations, you have synthetized a high-quality item with the aid of an NPC Friend!]

[Your comprehension over the Art of Alchemy has increased.]

[It is not possible for your [Alchemy: Lv10 (Max Level)] Skill to undergo Skill Evolution.]

Oh wow, so making such a high-quality item can give a lot of EXP! I have yet to try my hand in doing Alchemy that much, but I’ve already leveled up the Skill to Max Level when Acorn asked me to help him out.

[Alchemy: Lv10 (Max Level)]

Grants access to the ability to perform alchemy in-game through the usage of materials obtained from all sorts of sources. Items can be created through Alchemy by placing them inside an Alchemy Cauldron, which must be created, bought, or borrowed from another source. Items can be created through the usage of Alchemy Recipes that can be acquired from certain NPC, other players, or as Rare Drops from Monsters.

Alchemy Recipes can also be created as you randomly create items, every player can make their own recipes and create their unique items! Increase your Alchemy Proficiency and Recipe Making Ability with each Skill Level. The Brewing and the Gathering Skills are recommended to go along with this Skill.

It is possible to register Recipes after creating brand-new items, items created using already registered recipes will have a 50% chance to increase their quality Rank by a bit, and may gain special, additional bonus effects and abilities.

Additionally, enhances the Quality of Created Items by +100% and enhances the innate effects of created items by +50%.

After reaching Level 10, Skills undergo a lot of changes and often times gain amazing new effects as well, and so is the case with the production-type Skills such as Cooking, Mining, and Alchemy. I’ve also got Crafting and Fishing, so I might as well max their soon.

“Woah, I’ve done it now!” Acorn was happy. “I-I mean, we’ve done it!”

“Yeah! Congrats, Acorn!” I said. “Try it out then.”

“Alright…” Acorn quickly opened a bottle and drank a small part of its contents. “Gulp, gulp, gulp… Hmm, tastes like- Guh?! Agh!”

Suddenly, Acorns started to transform, his body grew several times his size, easily surpassing my own and ending at almost five meters of height. His body became more beast-like, instead of his cuter and more adorable original form.

His claws grew sharper, and he gained black stripes around his face, while his eyes shone bright gold… A powerful divine aura surged from his body.

“A-Acorn? Are you alright?”

“Uggh… ROOAAARRRR!”

“Eeeh!?”

Did he just lost control of his powers again?!

Desperately, I quickly transformed my hands into giant shields made of Spiritual Wood to protect myself from his charge attack.

“GRRRRHHH! GRAAAARRRGH!” Acorn roared, charging towards me.

“A-Acorn please don’t go berserk!” I cried, generating a barrier.

…

However, nothing really happened… When I looked back at Acorn, he was laughing at me!

“Pffff…! Ahahaha! I am messing around! I am fine, Lady Planta!” He laughed. “I can control this form really well now! It is not as super powerful as the giant one, but it gives a really decent buff to all my stats!”

“Geez! Do you have to scare me out like that?!” I asked angrily. “For Christ’s sake…” I facepalmed.

“S-Sorry Lady Planta! I-I overdid it…” He apologized.

“W-Well, it’s fine I guess.” I sighed. “You’ve grown really strong now, this transformation is giving you a huge buff!”

I checked his Status after a long while since the last time I did, I was so surprised over his growth though… We’ve been pals since I joined BNLO and he has been growing alongside me. Just like I do, a lot of his Skills have evolved into stronger forms.

However, his base stats were still much lower than mine… If we didn’t add this massive buff he acquired through his transformation skill! +2500 to all stats is insane! What in the world?!

“A-Acorn, your stats are ridiculous!” I said.

“Hehe, and this is just the balanced form of my transformation… Let’s see… [Attack Form]!” He roared.

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, his body shapeshifted again, his chest became much bigger and his arms became huge and muscular, like those of a gorilla, his tail grew smaller and so did his back legs, his head became sharper, and his fangs bigger, alongside his claws.

“Wait, what?! So you can even min-max your own stat bonuses?!” I asked.

“Yep!” He giggled. “Hehehe- Ugh, though doing this drains my energy a lot… I can at most maintain this form for ten minutes, but then I need to take a break.”

“Ten minutes is a lot of time!” I said in surprise.

Acorn has become those types of people that are not aware of their own incredibleness.
