The Wizard Has A Biochip

To be honest, I had acted quite impulsively when consuming the Concentrated Mana Potion.

I knew it.

The biochip had already shown me, through previous analyses, that the ideal approach would be to respect an interval of at least three or four days between each intake. This period was necessary for my body to recover and to prevent the excessive accumulation of the damage caused by the potion.

Even so...

I couldn’t resist.

The temptation to reach the third level was greater than my prudence.

And now I was paying the price.

If I had taken a third potion in that state, my vigor would probably have plummeted to somewhere around two points.

Just imagining that sent a shiver down my spine.

The problem was that the numbers displayed by the biochip weren’t merely abstract numbers.

They represented my body.

My four main physical attributes didn’t exist in isolation. They were all connected, supporting and influencing one another.

Mana and agility, for example, affected the accuracy of my long-range attacks and the frequency with which I could execute them.

Mana and strength influenced my reflexes and my ability to produce explosive force.

And vigor...

Vigor was the foundation of everything.

It supported my entire body, affecting my health points, my physical and elemental resistance, my ability to withstand damage, my evasion, and countless other aspects that even the biochip couldn’t completely represent through a single number.

Therefore, when my vigor fell from 3.20 to 2.50, the problem wasn’t simply losing a few health points.

My entire physical system had deteriorated.

At that moment, I could feel it clearly.

My body felt empty.

Completely empty.

It was as if someone had drained all my energy and left behind nothing but a shell.

The hunger was different as well.

It wasn’t the ordinary hunger that appeared after going a few hours without eating.

It was a much deeper sensation.

My stomach seemed to be burning, and my internal organs felt as though they were being consumed by a slow fire.

Even breathing seemed to require effort.

I tried to stand up.

My body didn’t respond.

I took a deep breath and tried again.

I didn’t have enough strength.

So, with no other choice, I began crawling across the floor.

I slowly dragged myself toward the chair and, using the little strength I still possessed, managed to support myself against it and sit down.

I spent a few seconds catching my breath.

Then I raised one of my hands.

On the table was a small communication rune.

I extended my fingers and touched its surface.

I focused a thread of mana into it.

The rune glowed.

A silent wave spread through the air.

Soon afterward, a human face formed from light appeared on the surface of the crystal.

To my surprise, the face immediately began to speak.

—Lord George, may I know what special service you require?

I didn’t think for even a second.

—Food! I need food now! Now, immediately! I’m starving!

The luminous face remained completely calm.

—May I know what kind of food you desire? We offer a common noble meal.

—The level of luxury is guaranteed to be among the greatest pleasures available to human nobles.

—Each set costs only one magical crystal.

—We also provide magical energy meals.

—All ingredients are taken from intermediate- to advanced-level magical creatures found in various parts of the Kar-Dur region.

—Each set costs five magical crystals.

—I choose the magical energy meal! —I replied.

And then the face projected on the crystal nodded and continued speaking.

—Understood.

—Your order has been accepted.

—Please pay the fee on the projection. The amount will be deposited automatically.

I took five magical crystals from my storage belt and placed them before the projection.

Zosh~

The crystals glowed.

Then disappeared.

The communication crystal vibrated.

An intense light swept across its surface.

Suddenly, it expanded.

The small magical crystal transformed into a square box.

For a moment, I simply stared at it.

Then the box exploded into countless sparks of energy.

When the luminous particles disappeared, a silver tray appeared before me.

On it was a huge steaming rib.

Refined cutlery lay beside it.

The meal consisted of an extremely juicy fried rib, accompanied by red, blue, and white vegetables and covered in an aromatic sauce.

There was also a goblet of grape wine.

Normally, I probably would have appreciated the presentation.

At that moment?

I wasn’t the least bit interested in good manners.

I was starving.

I grabbed the rib and began eating.

I ate like a starving animal that had finally found food.

The meat disappeared rapidly.

When I swallowed the last piece, I leaned back in the chair.

My breathing was heavy.

But that sensation inside my body finally began to subside.

I closed my eyes for a few seconds.

Then I thought of something else.

—Biochip, can you identify what creature this meat came from?

[Beep.]

[Analysis in progress.]

[Possibility of Steel Voideka: 97%.]

[Possibility of Wild Uerik Creature: 10%.]

[Possibility of Raging Nastu: 2%.]

.

.

.

A long list appeared before my eyes.

But the probabilities of the other species were so low that they could be ignored.

The greatest possibility was clearly the Steel Voideka.

I moistened my lips.

Then I picked up the goblet and drank the grape wine in one go.

As the liquid went down my throat, I began mentally analyzing the meal.

The meat of that creature was good.

Very good.

But it didn’t come anywhere close to the meat of the Dragon of Light of the Mountain Peak that I had eaten the previous day.

The difference was absurd.

If that meat really belonged to a Steel Voideka, then it was probably a relatively common demonic creature of the stone element.

The problem was precisely that.

The elemental energy present in the meat was incompatible with my affinity.

It could still provide an enormous amount of vitality to my body.

But it would do practically nothing for my innate light-element ability.

My gaze became thoughtful.

Then I understood.

If I wanted to recover my vigor while simultaneously strengthening my innate light-element ability, I needed to consume magical creatures related to the light element.

And the higher the creature’s level...

The better the result would be.

Hunger began bothering me again.

So I raised my hand once more and touched the rune.

—I want information about the meat of magical creatures of the light element.

The luminous face immediately began presenting options.

—We have several options available.

—Solar Lion, one thousand five hundred magical crystals per five hundred grams.

—Radiant Salamander, two thousand magical crystals per five hundred grams.

—Celestial Hound, one thousand five hundred magical crystals per five hundred grams.

—Light-Devouring Owl, two thousand magical crystals per five hundred grams.

I continued listening in silence.

From time to time, I interrupted to ask for additional information.

Such as Origin, Creature Level, Elemental Energy Concentration, Amount of Vitality, among other information.

After some time, I finally made my choice.

—I want the Light-Devouring Owl.

The luminous face confirmed it.

—Excellent choice.

This time, I used two third-level magical crystals.

As soon as the payment was completed, the projection began to vibrate.

The empty dishes disappeared.

Then a new meal appeared before me.

I expected meat.

But it wasn’t that.

It was a heart.

A fresh heart.

It was still pulsing slightly.

It was approximately the size of a fist.

Inside that reddish mass, there seemed to be a small source of light.

The heart was still raw when it appeared.

Then that small source of light glowed.

A luminous explosion swept through the organ.

Fwoosh!

A column of warm light rose toward the ceiling.

For a moment, my entire room was bathed in that radiance.

Then it disappeared.

What remained before me was a fried heart.

Hot.

Fragrant.

And filled with luminous energy.

My stomach practically growled.

I picked up the knife.

I made a small cut on the surface of the heart.

At the same instant, hot blood began to flow out.

I leaned forward and sucked up all the liquid in one go.

The hot blood went down my throat.

When it reached my stomach, an explosive sensation spread throughout my body.

My eyes closed involuntarily.

It was intense.

A furious energy began spreading inside me.

Different from the previous meat.

This time, I could clearly feel the presence of the light element.

.

.

.

.

After consuming two consecutive sets of Light-Devouring Owl meals, I finally felt my body beginning to recover.

My vigor, which had plummeted after using the potion, began to rise again.

It hadn’t completely returned to its previous value.

But it was already a significant improvement.

I leaned back in the chair.

My stomach was heavy.

Very heavy.

I placed both hands over it.

—Ur~~~~ I’m full.. I ate too much...

The magical projection began collecting the empty dishes.

A short while later, the table was clean again.

I felt completely satisfied.

But also exhausted.

I slowly stood up.

I walked toward the bed.

When I finally reached it, I let my body fall onto the mattress.

I closed my eyes and, shortly afterward... Everything disappeared.
