Carl went from place to place, searching for quests but could not find any. On his way to the hunting grounds, he read a sign - "Witch's Alchemy Shop", he got excited and headed in.
"Hello, anyone there?"
No one replied.
He smiled and searched through every option in the shop, reading its effects and cost.

[Potion Of Vitality]

He kept the potions at their place and went towards the counter.
As he headed nearer, he saw a figure lying down, and at closer inspection, it was a woman - an old lady. He rushed towards her, picked her up, and lay her on the bed.
A few minutes passed by.
The old lady gently opened her eyes and scanned her surroundings, and saw a man sitting beside the bed. She tried to speak, but no words came out of her mouth.
Carl realised and removed a potion from his inventory. This potion was given to players, especially the beginners, as a reward. Without wasting time, he used the potion on the lady.
"It's not much, but it will at least make you feel better."
"Thank you, child. I have a request?"
[Quest: Help The Old Lady]
[Requirement: Collect 5 herbs]

"Alright, I will help you."
Saying that Carl leaves the place and heads to the forest.
At the Forest.
"Oh! I didn't ask her what herbs to bring."
Carl scanned through the forest but couldn't find anything resembling an herb, and so, he went deeper.
He picked some herbs and brought them back.
At the Shop.
"I am back."
"Welcome child, did you the her-"
She looks at the herbs he brought. Her jaw dropped. She trembles in excitement.
"C-Child, where did you find these herbs."
"I found them in dark forest."
"What? That place is off-limits for newbies, and not only you went there and came back unscathed."
"Yep."
"Hah, just give me the herbs, I'll brew.....cough cough..."
"Granny, aer you okay."
"Damn my health. Sorry for showing my pathetic side."
"No, it's not your fault."
"If I were a bit better, I could brew the potions bit now I can't."
"Do you want my help?"
"Why not."

"With this, my grinding will become much easier."
Carl did not know how to brew potions. He is a beginner in this field. What he knew was that he learned brewing in other games and applied the same logic in Fate.
He didn't know the end result, but one thing was sure that his actions would create a new page in history.
"Granny, I finished it."
"Let's see, what you made....???!!!"
"Is it not good?"
"It's best, the best I have ever seen."
"Hahaha, you flatter me. Thank you, and see ya."
"This kid created history."
A few moments later.

"It is. It's cheap."
"Old Lady, give me 3 health potions."
"Coming right up."

"Look at this potions."
