Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Later that afternoon she created a few more Blood Fruits and carefully fed them to Granny Yaga. To everyone’s surprise, the old witch began regaining her youth as she ate them. Wrinkles smoothed, her posture straightened, and a healthy color returned to her skin. Granny Yaga touched her face in quiet astonishment, eyes glistening with emotion at the unexpected change.

”I look like half my age now!” the woman exclaimed, turning her face from side to side in front of a polished metal plate that served as a mirror. Her wrinkles had softened dramatically, and her skin glowed with renewed vitality. She truly looked as though she had returned to her fifties. ”T-This is amazing! Aren’t I a beauty?”

”You’re very pretty, haha,” Elayne nodded with a kind and genuine smile, pleased to see the fruit’s restorative power working so clearly.

”Hmph, don’t waste all your fruits on that old woman, Elayne,” Blank muttered, a clear note of jealousy in his voice. He crossed his arms and looked away. ”Save them to create new, strong soldiers... I will also try to find a way I can benefit from it myself. Perhaps... maybe if I turn myself into—”

”No, don’t. It’s not necessary to go THAT far, okay?” Elayne sighed softly and placed a calming hand on his shoulder. She understood his eagerness, but some ideas were better left unexplored for now. ”Anyway, I’m wondering if Lisette is alright... Granny Yaga, did you see the boy? How’s he doing?”

”He’s quite alright,” Yaga nodded with her usual gruff reassurance. ”Got hit by a lot during the fight. That damn Jester scared him half to death, but he’s recovering steadily. He’ll be up and moving in no time. Maybe if we feed him one of your special fruits, he’ll bounce back even faster.”

”Right!” Elayne nodded with renewed energy. ”Let’s make him a fruit puree to go with his meals. Something gentle and easy to digest.”

Without wasting another moment, Elayne moved to the small cooking area and began preparing a soft puree from one of the restorative fruits. She mashed it carefully, mixing in a bit of warm water and a touch of honey for taste, then carried the bowl to the quiet room where little Lisette rested.

Little Hope was already there, floating gently beside the boy’s bed. The small skeleton ghost and core of the Domain had grown a strong, almost sibling-like friendship with Lisette ever since the boy joined their group. She entertained him with soft stories and playful movements of her ethereal form, keeping his spirits high while he recovered.

Upon learning about the fruit’s remarkable powers, Little Hope instantly claimed a small piece for herself and ate it without hesitation. A soft glow passed over her spectral body as she gained the Blood Dryad Race and absorbed several fragments of pure lifeforce. She immediately floated higher, looking more energetic and lively than ever before.

Lisette slowly ate the puree spoonful by spoonful. Color gradually returned to his cheeks, and the tension in his small body eased. Before long he drifted into a deep, peaceful sleep. Elayne could tell with a single glance that he would wake up the next morning feeling completely renewed.

”Alright... it’s still too early to go to sleep, and I want to test my new abilities properly,” Elayne said as she stepped out of the room with Little Hope floating happily at her side. She raised her voice so the others could hear her clearly. ”Everyone! Let’s form a group. We’ll go explore outside and head to the Dungeon we originally agreed on visiting. I want to see if we can finally find the Second Lost Forge of Hephaestus. Ignis, you’ll guide us, right?”

”Sure! About time!” Ignis answered with bright enthusiasm, already bouncing on his heels. ”Let’s do this!”

Elayne’s mind was already racing with plans. She intended to accomplish a great deal today. Testing her newly gained abilities and racial powers was only the beginning. If the monsters inside the dungeon proved strong enough, she might even push herself all the way to max level before the day ended.

The group began gathering their gear with growing excitement, ready to step once more into the unknown dangers waiting beyond the safety of their temporary home.
