Chapter 208: Tears of Blood (1/2)
Clark was flabbergasted with his find. He could not believe that he finally found one treasure amidst trillions of trash inside his inventory. And to think that it only took him 3 years to find it.
This was certainly a great cause for celebration! Alas, our bored gamer tried to suppress his glee and continued to experiment with this new item in his hand.
”Amazing! Even with the physique of a True Immortal, i still could not crush this simple looking clay brick with all the power i got in my possession!”
Clark exclaimed as he tried crushing the mundane thing on his palm. Unfortunately, he found no success whatsoever in what he wanted to do.
But this realization has only brought a wider grin on our good gamer's face.
”Do you know the origin of this clay brick, Nancy?” He asked his handy system after a time.
Clark was of course well aware that that fucking Elder God may be spying on him at this very moment but he was betting on the pride of the strong to linger in the heart of that Supreme Existence.
An Elder God would not act merely on impulse or passing curiosity on an unknown item like this clay brick. At least this was what our bored gamer wished to happen.
He did not think that using his summon Blood Twin or any other undead would escape the tight scrutiny of that fucking Elder God.
In the end, our avid gamer could only gamble on the unsung virtue called pride.
”System Scanning...” Nancy began her inspection.
”DING!” After a long minute, she finally gave what she found.
”System successfully scanned the item, host. That is a normal clay brick composed of clay and nothing more.
The process of making it includes burning the clay at high temperatures and this would lead to extreme ceramic bonds in the br...”
Nancy's sweet voice rang in the ears of our bored gamer but Clark was already too preoccupied to listen further.
'Not even the system Nancy could tell what this thing is. Interesting!' Clark rubbed his chin and it did not take him long to think of a course of action.
'I hope this works.' He could only pray as he bit his finger and dropped some blood on the clay brick. Alas, nothing happened at all. No explosion nor any surprising revelations to be had.
The clay brick just devoured our bored gamer's blood in an instant.
”FUCK ME! Why did it not work?!” Our bored gamer was shocked when his expectations failed him yet again.
Still, Clark was not made of fragile composition and so he chose to be stubborn like always.
”I don't believe that I can't unravel the secrets within you! You're just an ugly clay brick after all!” Our bored gamer cursed and drew out a sharp knife from his inventory.
This was no ordinary knife at all because not many things could injure Clark as he was today. He needed a powerful Mythical Weapon to do that.
”PUCHI!” A grave wound marked the hand of Clark and then...
”SPLASH!” The crimson life giving force fell down towards the smooth surface of the clay brick. In the next breaths, he could see that his health stat was slowly dropping alongside his actions.
Health: 9,950/9,950
Health: 9,900/9,950
Health: 9,000/9,950

...
In less than five minutes, our bored gamer was already weak and gasping like a dead fish on his bed. He was so pale that even a single slap could kill him right then and there.
Health: 5/9,950
”DAMN! How could this clay brick so greedy of my blood?! Isn't it full already?! This ravenous pig!” Clark sighed and stopped his voluntary bloodletting in the private space of his chambers.
A second passed and the natural regen perk of his body also took place.
+10 Health
+10 Health
+10 Health

”This is taking me so long.” Clark shook his head then withdrew one Greater Health Potion from his inventory. He chugged the contents without another word said.
Our bored gamer felt that his strength was coming back into his body like the raging river of Life. He was in the pink of health once more in but a few moments alone.
”Just what kind of treasure did I stumble into?!” Clark whispered and began making short term plans for this inscrutable item.
He looked on the empty flask of the recently full Greater Health Potion and thought of a bright idea thereafter.
