Chapter 6 [Secrets Rarely Told]

~~~~~

Day in and day out, Adam woke to the same routine. See, Seto reluctantly gave Adam a small unused room to sleep in, nothing much, simply a bed. And from there Adam would wake at the first signs of daylight. Now hold on for a moment, how would he know the sun was rising when he was at the bottom of a ravine that literally blocked out all daylight and he needed magical floating flames to find his way?

The simple answer was Seto.

The more complicated answer was the sound of an explosion, and Seto cursing and swearing pretty much every morning. On Adam's first day here with Seto, after the whole dying and coming back to life thing, Seto put Adam straight to work. Adam worked quickly to clean the blood off the ravine walls as best as he could, and he found it honestly revolting. Seriously though, he was scrubbing and scraping himself off the walls! And it took every fiber of his being not to vomit. Thankfully after only a few days he was able to do it.

The next thing Seto ended up having him do, and was still doing, was pretty much run errands for him...

From Player to errand boy, well, he supposed it was alright. It was better than nothing.

Adam rolled out of his bed and yawned, there was another explosion and a loud cry of 'fuck!' Or something like that--an object shot past his head and smashed into his room. The glass vial shattered against the wall and splattered its contents everywhere. Adam ducked and covered his head in response.

"I said duck, pay attention!" Seto grumbled, walked past Adam, and inspected the damage.

"What was that?!"

"Failed potion, I was experimenting, unfortunately the properties seem to affect the bottle itself."

"O-oh," Adam stood up and noticed none of the potion got on him thankfully. Last time a potion exploded on him he walked around as a floating torso and Seto refused to get rid of the effects. Needless to say he felt like an idiot and even his new friends laughed.

"Well, I'll clean this up; there are a few boxes over by the entrance. I need you to unpack and sort them for me. Later I'll have you deliver a delicate package to the surface. So get started."

"Yes sir!" Adam wasted no time leaving his room and entering the main room. He noticed the boxes Seto mentioned, three of them. He pushed them into the cave and opened them one by one. He figured if he knew what was inside them it would be easier to decide which to organize first.

One box held books, no surprise considering this room had books stacked in really inconvenient locations. But Seto didn't want him to organize those, stating he would never find anything if Adam moved what was already here. Which made it hard to organize anything if he had to ignore the growing mess.

The other box contained odd objects, Seto described them as ingredients for potions. Some of them were everyday things, carrots and fish, even a rabbit foot, which he guessed wasn't an everyday thing, but still a thing he thought was weird to be here. Other objects he noticed were compressed blocks of glowstone (compressed [anything] just means stacks), odd wart like plants he's never seen--ew! Adam threw down what looked like an eye.

Adam moved on to the next box, in this box were so many compressed bottles filled with an odd, glowing liquid that changed from shades of green to yellow. He had no idea where to even put these, "Seto, sir, what are these glowing bottles, and where would they go?"
