Chapter 4

Water potions flow from the water purifier in my house, Chapter 005

2. The television is also strange (2)

Jung Hae-yeon, the Guild Master of the Twilight Guild.

She, who held the heavy responsibility of being the Guild Master of a large guild, was now clasping her hands in prayer.

"Phew. The dungeon strategy tomorrow must not fail."

「The Tomb of the Fallen Fairy」

This was the name of the dungeon that had appeared this time.

I don't know how much hard work it took to win the bid for the right to conquer this place.

Failure is not an option.

I plan to make it a success no matter what.

"Guild Master, aren't you worrying too much?"

"...Is that so? I just can't sit still because I keep feeling anxious."

"Hehe. How about watching something funny to ease the tension?"

"Something funny?"

"More like a strange video..."

Jung Sung-jin, a combat member of the Twilight Guild.

He turned on something on his phone and handed it to his Guild Master.

"A video?"

"Yes. You know about the unknown rift that appeared yesterday, right?"

"Uh-huh. I heard an Awakened passerby blocked it. It was really fortunate. If any citizens had died, we would have had to postpone our strategy. Anyway, what are those Rift Management guys even doing?"

"Yes. This is a video taken by a citizen at the time, and the situation is quite peculiar."

"What's peculiar about the situation? The monsters that come out of the rift are all the same."

As soon as the video started, the sound of a dog barking was heard.

Sharp Hound.

A 2-star monster that appears from the rift.

A dangerous creature with sharp teeth.

But a skilled Awakened should be able to handle it.

The Awakened in the video must have been able to do so as well.

However, a different scene unfolded than what he had expected.

"Hehe. What is this?"

The man in the video was fighting a Sharp Hound.

But the situation was far from normal.

The Sharp Hound was biting the man's arm, and the man was hitting the hound's head with a rock.

It was a dogfight, literally.

"Wow... Isn't that impressive? To be so calm in such a situation."

"Indeed, it's impressive in many ways."

Indeed, the man was calmly drinking a beverage while fighting the monster.

He gulped down the drink from the PET bottle as if it were a life-saving elixir.

What was strange was that there was not a single scratch on the man's arm, which was being bitten.

"He's completely toying with it."

"Right? How high must his physical stats be to do that?"

"I think he must also have a unique ability related to regeneration."

In the end, the video ended with the Sharp Hound's head shattered.

"Where is he from?"

"It seems... his identity hasn't been confirmed yet."

"What? An Awakened of that caliber must be affiliated with some organization."

"Indeed. If he's unaffiliated, it would be great to recruit him to our side."

"Sure. If possible, do that. It's not easy to find an Awakened like that."

He seems to have some unique hobbies.

Muttering this, Jung Hae-yeon closed her eyes.

She seemed a bit calmer after seeing the strange person.

Jung Sung-jin, finding it amusing, played the video several times.

Jung Hae-yeon, with her eyes closed, continued to pray.

Neither of them knew that the liquid in the PET bottle the man in the video was drinking was a potion.

* * *

"Yes, there doesn't seem to be any problem with the water purifier. The filter seems to have been replaced a long time ago. Would you like me to replace it for you?"

"No, that's fine."

"Hehe. This is the first time I've seen such an old water purifier."

The A/S technician said this with a smile.

I handed him the travel expenses and sent him away.

"...It seems it's only visible to me."

Potions come out of the water purifier.

How would this look to others?

That's why I called the technician.

No one would think potions come out of a water purifier, so I tried it.

If it came out as rust, I could just send him away.

"But it came out as water."

When the technician poured water, it came out as ordinary water.

I was scared, thinking the potions had stopped coming out, but fortunately, when I pressed the button, the colorful potions came out as usual.

"What are you, anyway?"

Not only the water purifier, but the television is also strange.

I don't know what's going on.

This water purifier and television don't seem to be special items.

"Then, it must mean that the one who has changed is me..."

While thinking this, I glared at the water purifier, and something popped out in the air.

========================

「Water Purifier that Produces Potions」

Description: When used by 【Master of All Things】 Lee Se-jin, the water purifier produces potions instead of water.

Possible Health Potions [Low-grade]: 4.5L

Possible Mana Potions [Low-grade]: 3L

Production Recovery Rate per Hour: 1L/500ml

========================

"What is this...?"

There is only one reason why such a strange thing would appear.

I shouted in my mind.

'Status Window.'

Ding!

========================

〈Lee Se-jin〉

Strength: 1.2

Agility: 1.2

Health: 1.1

Mana: 1.0

Unique Ability: 【Master of All Things】

「Currently Opened Objects」

▷Water Purifier: Produces potions instead of water.

▷Television (New!): Randomly shows the future on each channel.

========================

"Really, I've awakened."

When did I awaken?

If I had awakened, a message should have appeared.

But I have no memory of it.

"Ah... Maybe when I collapsed?"

A few days ago, when I drank a glass of water and decided to give up on everything.

At that time, I wasn't in my right mind, so I wouldn't have noticed anything that appeared.

"But that's not the important part."

The important thing is that I have awakened.

How much I had envied it.

When I went to sell potions, I felt intimidated by the Awakened.

But now, I'm no different from them.

"No, I am different."

First, my stats were pitiful.

...No matter how weak I am.

None of my basic stats exceed 2.

Considering that a normal person has a stat of 1.5, it's truly a pitiful level.

But thinking about my unique ability, I had nothing to regret.

"Master of All Things..."

========================

【Master of All Things】

-Can use specific objects and items in a special way.

========================

Special.

Of course, it means I can use them.

The first one is the water purifier that produces potions.

And the second one is...

"A television that shows the future? This is crazy!"

The news of the Twilight Guild's total annihilation I saw yesterday.

It was definitely today's news.

When I looked at the television, just like the water purifier, detailed information appeared.

========================

「Television that Shows the Future」

Description: When used by 【Master of All Things】 Lee Se-jin, the television can show the future.

Currently Opened Channel: Ch.1 (One day later)

Currently Available Uses: Once a day.

========================

"One day later. Indeed, this television shows the future one day ahead."

There was a limit of once a day.

But the ability to see the future was unbelievable and unfair.

"Since it says 'current,' there must be a way to open more."

Water purifier, television.

There must be a way to improve the performance of both.

If Ch.1 shows the future one day ahead, what about other channels?

"Could I see a more distant future?"

Just imagining it was thrilling.

Knowing the future alone in this world...

It feels like I'm a regressed character from a novel.

"...Could it work with other objects too?"

Since it's called Master of All Things, it can't be limited to just these two objects.

I walked around and touched things like the gas stove and a shabby wardrobe.

Instead of a special usage method, a different message appeared.

"Quest?"

========================

-Urgent Quest!-

「Save the Twilight Guild, which is destined to be annihilated by the Doppleganger.」

Reward: Random Open Key, Choice Open Key.

========================

Although the mention of the Twilight Guild and the Doppleganger was unexpected, what caught my attention was the reward below.

"So... If I do this, I can use more objects?"

Like the water purifier that produces potions.

And the television that shows the future.

I checked the time. It was still 10 AM.

Checking the internet, I found the location of the dungeon the Twilight Guild was planning to conquer.

"I need to hurry."

The time they would be annihilated was 5 PM.

I needed to reveal the Doppleganger's identity before the Twilight Guild entered the dungeon.

The location of the dungeon the Twilight Guild was planning to conquer was easy to find.

After all, dungeons are mysterious phenomena that suddenly appear out of nowhere.

It's impossible to hide such a place.

I found the location with a few simple searches.

Fortunately, it wasn't far from my house.

"Now, let's prepare."

Of course, as a normal person, I can't reveal the Doppleganger by force.

I will use my own method to expose it.

While finding the location of the dungeon, I learned one more piece of information.

Information about the Doppleganger.

If it receives a strong attack made of mana, its disguise will be broken.

This gave me an idea.

A strong attack made of mana.

Potions go through a purification process using mana.

If I pour a large amount of potion into their bodies, what would happen?

Of course, I would choose to attack with most of it.

It would be a waste otherwise.

But I'm different.

I don't care if the potions are wasted.

"Our water purifier at home produces potions continuously with just a button press."
