Extra Pages: The Author's Odyssey
Chapter 209: Healberry [1]

Healberry is a fruit that can any curse and illness in the world. It doesn't matter what type of curse is, it doesn't matter even if the demon was the cause of the Curse it can heal anything.

However not anyone in the world knew about this fruit because this would be the first time Healberry be found on the western side of the continent where demon borders are.

The place this Healberry grows named is Death Forest, that place is full of curses and monsters of [A] rank and [S-] rank. That's the main reason why that area isn't properly searched by 'The World Government' either.

The death rate is high whenever the world government sends a search team. After so many years of sending the search team, they were only able to know about 20% of the entire forest.

At some time World Government gave up exploring the forest and named it 'Death Forest.'

After that, no one enters the Death Forest but there is one person who enters the Death Forest despite knowing the dangers ahead.

Aiden Stormrider. Known for his unparalleled courage and insatiable curiosity, Aiden had braved countless dangers in his quest for the unknown. One fateful day, driven by whispers of a mystical healing power that could challenge even demonic curses, Aiden decided to unravel the mysteries concealed within Death Forest.

Navigating through the dense underbrush and evading the watchful eyes of the forest's monstrous inhabitants, Aiden encountered challenges that tested the limits of his skill. His journey was fraught with perilous encounters, from evading cunning [A]-rank curses to outsmarting the elusive [S-] rank guardians.

Deep within the heart of Death Forest, where the veil between worlds seemed thinnest, Aiden stumbled upon a clearing bathed in an ethereal light. There, beneath the protective canopy of an ancient tree, he discovered the mythical Healberry – a radiant fruit pulsating with healing energy.

Unfazed by the curses that clung to the surroundings, Aiden plucked the Healberry from its sacred perch, its glow intensifying as if acknowledging the touch of a kindred spirit. With the prized fruit in his possession, Aiden emerged victorious from Death Forest, his discovery destined to change the course of healing and legend.

The tale of Aiden Stormrider and the Healberry soon echoed across the continents, capturing the imagination of adventurers and healers alike. The once elusive remedy now held the potential to mend the most formidable curses, and Death Forest, once a dreaded realm, became a beacon of hope for those seeking the extraordinary in the face.

Healberry, That's the name of the cure that I'm going to give Isabella. At this point in the novel, no one knows about it but in the upcoming few days, everyone will know about Healberry Frute.

There are only a few in the world but after knowing the existence of something that cures anything in the world many will venture into Death Forest, however just like the name of the forests, everyone who enters ends up dead.

Aiden is a minor character that I made for replaceing the Healberry, fruit and letting them know its existence to the world.

There will be an Auction in three days where this fruit will be showcased for the first time, No one in the world knew about its existence until the auction started.

I'm planning to attend that auction that's the reason I asked for a VIP Membership card from Jonathan in exchange for selling information about the Red Wolf gang.

The entry fee for that Auction is 100 Million C and at the moment I have like 35 million C.

But with a VIP membership card, I would receive a 30% discount on everything but even so, I have to pay like 70 million C to just attend the auction house and after that, I'll be broke

But I don't have to worry about being broke either. Why? Because I'm going to sell some of my stocks of Finest Pharmacist.

Yup by selling that stock I'm sure I would get about 2 Billion C. So there is no need to worry about that either.

Anyway, let's talk about this Healberry Fruit.

In the future, towards the end of the third volume, Adrian and his friend would be put in a position where they would have to replace Healberry at all costs.

But sadly the only way to replace the Healberry was to enter the Death Forest

In the process of replaceing the cure, they will go through many trials that will shape their character as well as improve their strength. Many schemes made by the demons would end up being destroyed in the process.

…though it wasn't the most important arc, it was still very important for their character development.

If I chose to go replace the Healberry in Death Forest, my actions would cause a butterfly effect but…I just wasn't sure how big.

Fortunately, time was on my side

With this upcoming auction, I would be able to take Healberry without changing the plotline.

At this point, I'm sure there will be no change in the plot line.

Sigh

I let out a small sigh at the thought of Plotline.

It feels like I'm getting obsessed with Plotline.

But I'm sure that's not the case.

There was a reason why I always wanted to keep the plotline intact…

Control.

That's what mattered to me.

…I was fine with the plotline changing as long as the major events didn't change, at least to the point where I still had a general idea of what was to come in the future.

I guess it mostly had to do with my personality…but I just wanted everything to be under my control.

I didn't like it when things didn't go as I dictated.

I disliked being put into situations where I wasn't in control of the flow…

Especially if my meddling would result in the demon king destroying this world.

…If that happened, then all the preparation I had made to fight him would become useless.

Maybe if I was strong like Adrian I wouldn't have cared…but I wasn't.
