This is also a raw chapter so I'll edit it later as well.

Sorry for the mistakes you see ahead and thanks for reading

Starting from next week as well, we'll be back to two chapters per day]

[Ace POV],

Immediately after choosing to activate the first title which was the Trainee Alchemist title, my status changed but I felt no change in me.

Perhaps it might be because the 2% extra mana was too little for me to feel and since one couldn't exactly feel an increase in success rate, I would have to wait for another concoction session to find out.

'I wonder if I can try to push through and become an advanced alchemist now', I thought since it sounded like a reasonable plan that could succeed given the success rate I had in passive but I would have to check the purity level of the pills I concocted previously before I start though.

With these thoughts in mind, I took a look at my status.

...…

[Status],

[Ranking: Not on the rank board],

[Title: Trainee Alchemist[Active], Apprentice Alchemist[Inactive]],

.....

There was no additional change in my status apart from the Trainee Alchemist title being activated so let's activate the second one too.

With these thoughts in mind, I focused my attention on the other title that was inactive as the text on the panel in front of me disappeared as new ones reappeared after.

...…

[Apprentice Alchemist],

A title given to an experienced alchemist in training and that is recognized by the primordial chronicle.

*Increases total mana pool by 4%.

*Increases success rate of rank 0 items by 7%.

...…

[Title is inactive],

[Activate Title],

[Y/N],

...…

'Yes'

After giving my answer to the primordial chronicle, I was expecting the same thing that happened before when I activated the Trainee Alchemist title to happen again but there was a change this time as it wasn't the updated status that appeared in front of me this time.

...…

[Detected a lower title for [Apprentice Alchemist][Trainee Alchemist]],

[Note that choosing this title will deactivate the [Trainee Alchemist] title and remove it from your status],

[Do you still wish to continue?],

...….

Reading the texts in the panel in front of me for the second time, I finally understood the reason why the title did not immediately become active.

I also thought of this problem since it was quite confusing for both the [Trainee Alchemist] and the [Apprentice Alchemist] to exist side by side as both title effects overlapped each other. One was superior and the other was inferior and looking at the notification the primordial chronicle just sent now made me understand what was going to happen next.

One of the titles was either going to leave for the other title to become active or one had to stay inactive for the existing active title to continue operating and it was obviously the former I was going for.

The apprentice alchemist title is basically an upgrade of the trainee alchemist so it made more sense for it to go since there was no loss whatsoever gained from it leaving.

As I thought of these things, I chose to activate the apprentice alchemist title and just like before, I felt no change whatsoever but my status did get a minor change.

...…

[Status],

[Title: Apprentice Alchemist[Active]],

...

The Trainee Alchemist title did really disappear but since I was aware of it happening when I wanted to activate the apprentice title, it didn't affect me.

With this thought in mind, I dismissed the primordial chronicle and thought of what to do next.

For one, I could head out of the alternate dimension and hunt monsters since that was something I really needed to do or I could continue to make pills and see if I can gain another title but first, let's see the purity level of the latest pills I concocted.

As I thought of this, I took a pill bottle of the basic health, mana, stamina and food scattered on the table close to me and took a single pill out of each bottle and checked its purity.

[Basic Mana Pill-[58% Purity]],

[Basic Health Pill-[67% Purity]],

[Basic Stamina Pill-[65% Purity]],

[Basic Food Pill-[66% Purity]],

Among the seven pills I can concoct, only the basic mana pills had the lowest purity level which is understandable given that among the four pills I concoct, only the basic mana pill required more work and steps to make.

Putting aside the basic mana pill, the other pills all had very high purity levels but before I do anything though, I need to take a bath.

I just realised I was sweaty all over from the previous concocting sessions and it was making me feel uncomfortable so after deciding to take a bath, I immediately made my way out from the mansion to my usual bathing spot which was the waterfall.

I need to power the mansion one day or another though since it will be much more convenient to bathe in the mansion than having to come out every time to bathe in the open.

I didn't care about bathing in the open part but that did not mean I did not want things to be convenient for me.

All that was stopping me from having the convenience that I wanted was the level 34 crystal-core magical mansion needed to function.

Apart from wanting the magical building to have energy for me to have the convenience I wanted, the magical mansion also required energy for its defensive mechanism for it to operate.

This function was not needed since there was no one to attack us in the alternate universe but the future was filled with many possibilities so it was better if the function was ready to be activated when needed.

As I thought of these things as I took my bath, I thought of which item I needed to create to complete my job quest once and for all since I did have a location to achieve this.

The earth rat den.

If that place is still the same as I left it, then it's not impossible for me to complete my job quest in a day or two but to complete the quest I needed to kill monsters with the help of alchemy which was kinda the obstacle for me since I couldn't go around fighting in the earth rat den with only a runic bone dagger to slowly grind and complete my job requirements to evolve.

I could do this, but apart from it being too time-consuming, it was also dangerous.

I haven't forgotten the monster wave that happened back then and If I could, I would not want to experience that again but unfortunately, I had to go back there again since I believe it was the place for me to complete all my incomplete job requirements in one go.

Perhaps I might not even need to go to the earth rats' den if I find another alternative but that was still my only shortcut option now.

Then there were the races that are appearing now. I only knew about the elves and dwarves so I was not sure if there were more outside but looking at the way things are now, it's very possible that more races are appearing so I needed strength to protect myself and not end up in the same shoes as Anna.

I don't think all races will be peaceful like the dwarves.

I continued to think about these things even after I finished taking my bath and after taking a short meal near the waterfall.

It was only when I was back in the mansion's basement did I stop thinking about it.

It's also nighttime outside by the way, making me have an idea of just how long I spent down here.

I decided to head out in the morning in the alternate dimension so for now, I was going to try to increase my success rate and see if I can become an advanced alchemist and get another title for more benefits.

I can also use this time to see how effective the 4% success rate of the apprentice alchemist title will affect my pills and see if I can learn an additional pill.

There's just so much progress happening in so little time I feel a sense of satisfaction that I successfully concoct a pill.

I was also not going to focus on basic mana pills and instead grind with the other three pills to increase their purity levels and my success rate at making them to increase my chances of getting another title.

Since I already had a plan, I immediately got to work.
