Helix Library — 3 Hours Later
Leon sat in silence, his eyes scanning the final book laid out in front of him, titled ‘Ancient Alchemy Records.’
He flipped through the yellowed pages until something caught his attention:
—
• Moonrush Aphrodisiac Recipe
Moonrush Aphrodisiac is one of the most powerful lust-inducing substances ever recorded. Even a single whiff of its fumes is said to drive a dragon mad with desire.
Legends speak of a deranged queen who crafted this potion in an attempt to enslave her king through lust.
When she used it on him, the king became a frenzied beast, killing over a hundred virgin girls in a single night while ravaging them.
Eventually, he was slain—by his own daughter.
To brew this forbidden potion, only three ingredients are required:
1. Moonflower – A mystical flower said to absorb the light of the moon itself. Known for heightening sensitivity and inducing a euphoric mood.
2. Redleaf Plant Extract – A once-common plant famed for stoking the internal fire of arousal in target’s body. Long believed to be extinct.
3. Succubus/Incubus Body Fluid – These demons of lust produce a unique sweat when aroused through their sweat. It exponentially enhances seductive power, but drastically lowers rational thought and intelligence in the target.
Brewing this potion is still considered mythical.
As no one has ever succeeded in creating it due to the extreme precision and total mana control required.

Leon leaned back, his eyes narrowed.
‘Moonflowers… I’ve read about them. They bloom only at night in the Vinceral Forest, but they’re incredibly hard to spot.
Redleaf Plants are… extinct. I saw that mentioned in the “Alchemy Ingredients” compendium.
And succubus sweat? Seriously? Where the fuck am I supposed to find a succubus?
They’re high-level demonic monsters and according to books, they only appears in B-rank or higher dungeons—and even then, finding them there is not completely guaranteed.
I’m nowhere near strong enough to solo one of those and taking a party there is suicide.
There is only one place on this planet that has succubus demons and that is Demon kingdom itself but that kingdom is far, far away from any of the other kingdom and going there is also suicide.
First of all, you can’t carry enough food and water to cover the journey, but even if I fully filled my inventory with food and water, the demons will make me their dinner as soon as they see me.
The Redleaf Plant… that’s the real problem. Even if I somehow find a succubus and moonflower, the Redleaf Plant is extinct…’ Leon stared blankly at the page, his fingers tapping the table in a slow rhythm, lost in thought.
“Oh well… fuck it. I’ll just make a normal aphrodisiac for now,” Leon muttered as he stood from the table and began walking toward the other shelves.
‘How many stacks do I have?’ he thought, opening his Stacking Panel.
> [300 – Learning Stacks]
‘Well isn’t that impressive.’ Leon thought with a smile.
“Still some time before the market opens… and I’m not sleepy. Might as well keep reading.”
With that, Leon wandered through the vast library, pulling out books at random—finishing each one in barely seven to ten minutes before moving to the next.
—
Two hours later… The sun had risen.
—
*Blink—Blink*
Leon’s eyes opened. He was lying on the floor, a book in each hand.
“Hmm…? Morning already?” he mumbled, blinking against the light.
“Mr. Leon, looks like you pulled an all-nighter,” came a familiar voice from behind.
He turned to see Rita, back in her formal librarian attire— and a book clutched against her chest as usual.
“Oh… Rita,” Leon yawned.
*Yawwwnn*
“Good morning, Sir Leon,” she said with a gentle smile, walking up to him and softly pressing a kiss to his lips.
*Chu*
She quickly pulled back, still smiling, as if nothing unusual had happened.
‘What the fuck was that?’ Leon blinked, his expression blank as his brain lagged for a moment.
“If you’re staying longer, I can prepare breakfast,” Rita offered sweetly.
“I’m good… but thanks for the offer. I have somewhere to be.” Leon spoke as he hurried down the stairs.
‘What the hell kind of kiss was that? So lame. If you’re gonna kiss me, at least use your damn tongue and insert it inside my mouth or let me at least suck on your lips.
These kids, don’t even know how to properly kiss.’ Leon thought with an annoyed expression.
“Whatever…” Leon shrugged the thought off and exited the library.
—
Back inside, Rita stood with flushed cheeks, squeezing the book tightly to her chest as something warm leaked between her thighs.
“Hah… I don’t care if you love someone else… As long as I can have you, I’ll even become your concubine, Mr. Leon.
I even have you my first kiss.”
She whispered to herself, her face red with perverted thoughts.

Kingdom Market — Early Morning
Leon wandered through the bustling market, noticing most of the stalls were already open.
“Yaaawn… Fuck, I’m still tired. And I have way too much info swirling in my head. It’s all getting jumbled up.”
His eyes twitched.
“I need to fix this, or I’ll go insane.”
Without hesitation, he activated his skill:
<Skill Crafter>
> [Please pick a name for the skill…]
“Data Manager.”
[Skill ‘Data Manager’ has been created.]
[Rank has been settled to ‘F’ by default.]
[State the use of the skill.]
“This skill can access the user’s memory and store unnecessary knowledge into the subconscious mind.
When activated with a keyword, the skill flashes all related information back into the user’s mind.
But it consumes a large amount of mana on every activation.”
[Processing…]
‘Well… It’s just a basic memory storing and searching skill. It should be good enough for an F-rank skill but just in case, I have added the mana thing.’ Leon thought in his mind.
[Description accepted.]
[Please select the chant for the skill {Data Manager}.]
“Search.” Leon smirked.
[Chant ‘Search’ has been selected.]
[Estimated mana cost: 250 mana/use.]
[Cooldown: 10 seconds.]
[Would you like to learn the skill or destroy it?]
“Learn.”
[Congratulations! You have successfully learned the skill {Data Manager}.]
“Search…” Leon activated the skill immediately.
[Data Manager Activated]
[No memory Found!]
[Would you like to Dump Memory?]
“Yes.”
[Please select time frame for memory dumping.]
“Last three hours.”
[Dumping unnecessary information…]
Leon felt a wave of mental relief as the overflow of cluttered data faded from his conscious mind.
“Nice. I know I read about the monster ‘Minotaur’ earlier… but I can’t recall anything about it.”
“Let’s test this.”
“Search… Minotaur.”
[-250 MP]
[+113796 MP]
[Searching…]
[Topic: Minotaur]
[Result: Found]
[Memory flashing initiated.]
Instantly, information about minotaurs surged back into his mind—everything from their biology to their attack patterns and dungeon habitats.
“Who said F-rank skills are stupid.” Leon spoke with a smile.
