With Jae-hyun's newfound path as a Shadowblade set, the team's dynamics shifted subtly. Yet, another transformation loomed on the horizon—one that would further alter their strategies and strengths.

Alfred, the seasoned mentor and distant uncle, felt the stirrings of change within him. His experiences and insights urged him to explore new avenues of support and mastery.

"I sense a shift in my role," Alfred remarked, his eyes glinting with a mixture of anticipation and determination.

The System Window, attuned to the unfolding destinies, shimmered with possibilities as Alfred delved into the realm of Alchemy—a path intertwined with ancient secrets and potent concoctions.

"Job Change unlocked: Alchemist," the System Window declared, unveiling a myriad of alchemical formulas and enhancements.

Alfred's transformation into an Alchemist brought forth newfound knowledge and abilities. He delved into the intricacies of potions, elixirs, and enhancements, each crafted with precision and purpose.

As Jae-hyun honed his skills as a Shadowblade, Alfred's role as an Alchemist took center stage. Together, they embarked on a quest to unlock the full potential of their team.

JC, ever the strategist, recognized the value of Alfred's newfound expertise. "Your alchemical creations will be crucial in our upcoming challenges."

Lina, her spirits lifted by their unity, assisted Alfred in gathering rare ingredients and ancient texts—a journey of discovery and camaraderie that strengthened their bonds.

The first fruits of Alfred's alchemical prowess emerged in the form of potent potions—each tailored to enhance agility, fortify defenses, and bolster mana reserves.

"These potions will aid us greatly," Jae-hyun remarked, testing the effects of the potions firsthand. "With each sip, I feel a surge of power."

Alfred nodded, his satisfaction evident. "But there's more we can achieve. I sense untapped potential in the depths of alchemy."

Their trials and victories continued, with Alfred's alchemical creations proving instrumental in overcoming daunting foes and mastering challenging environments.

The culmination of their efforts led to the creation of a legendary elixir—the Double x17 Potion, a concoction of unparalleled potency that amplified strength and resilience seventeenfold.

"It's time to push our limits," Alfred declared, presenting the Double x17 Potion to Jae-hyun. "This elixir will unlock dormant potential within you."

Jae-hyun, his determination unwavering, consumed the elixir, feeling a surge of power unlike anything before. "I can feel the strength coursing through me!"

Their journey, now fueled by newfound strengths and unity, entered a new chapter—a testament to the transformative power of adaptation, cooperation, and unyielding resolve in the face of ever-growing challenges.
