I realized that I have a body again as I could now feel the sensation of my limbs but when I opened my eyes the world was still in pitch black.

I can now move my arms and legs as I could touch my face with my hands. I can also move my eye lids, I can speak and when I walk I can hear the sound of the footsteps I'm making on the grass.

I can think of two possible causes why I can't seem to see. The first is that since the owner of this body have been attacked by a monster that attacked must have caused him to be blinded but when Meriri repaired his body she forgot to repair his eyes and thus I'm still blind. The second reason is that because the former owner of this body was attacked inside the forest.

It could be that he was attacked in the deepest part of the forest and since it is now midnight and the forest is so deep that not even the moonlight can penetrate it, it makes sense that it is completely dark. I hope that the reason why I can't see is the second one, because I would hate to think that there was a mishap in the restoration of this body.

As long as I can't even see where that big rock is, it's really not a good idea to move here. However, when Meriri used her spell to keep the monsters away, she told me that I had to leave the forest quickly because Artemirina-sama might find out what she did as she wouldn't be able to hide it for a very long time.

This is really a bad situation, isn't it? And No matter how much I blink, my eyes are never getting used to this darkness and I still can't see anything. I can hear the sounds of the wind, insects, and some kind of a roar so I guess it's not really a good idea to stay here any longer.

I need to check the situation first. It seems I can fully move my body and I don't feel any pain nor I can see any defects in my body, and I can also move it exactly what I want.

The next step is to try the skill that Meriri had given me. As I recall, she said I could make a potion just by thinking about it and also I'm sure she also said that I could only make potions from ranks F to A.

"Come out rank F potion, Oh? Oh? Ooh!"

I put my palm up and I imagined a potion coming out, after a while something hard, long and thin seemed to appear in my palm. It was too dark to see, but it felt like a test tube when I touched it. The bottom part is smooth and round, and the top part seems to have a different material stuck in it, I'm guessing it's probably, a thing like a cork to act as a lid.

I pulled the cork out to try and drink it as I was thirsty.

I expected it to be bitter because it was a potion, a medicine from another world, but why does it tasted like Ali*min V?

It taste so similar to a certain nutritional drink that I used to take when I was tired from work. Does that mean that the rank F potion is an energy drink?

I guess I could try them all.

And since I can't still seem to see for the time being I made and drink potions from ranks E to A.

The potions taste were different from each other, but it tasted like a nutritional drink that I had before though I can't feel any effects from my body.

And when I made the rank B potion, a slight glow can be seen in the palm of my hand.

"Oh!　This potion is glowing faintly!"

Unlike the potions from ranks F to C, the container for the rank B potion wasn't a test tube but a small vial.

Since the vial was as small as a thumb, the light was also as small as that of a firefly, but it was able to shine from the palm of my hand.

I was with the gods for quite a while and my senses were paralyzed so I didn't notice it, but it seems this is the first light that I had seen in quite a while.

I would be in a bit of trouble if the light goes out again so I decided to try and drink the rank B potion. After all I can make one again later though Meriri said that there's a limit to the potions that I can make in a day.

"Wow, this is really amazing! This just like what you read in a fantasy novel."

When I swallowed the rank B potion, my body slightly glowed but I also felt a surge of power from within my body.

Because of the effect of the potion I can now see my body but maybe it's only on my imagination but it seems that my legs are too short.

When I checked my body it seems that Meriri didn't  turn me into a dwarf and since my body is so small I could guess that this is a child's body. So did Meriri reincarnate me as a child because of the "pre-adulthood" condition?

No I don't think that's right as there's also a possibility that I can be in the body of an 18 years old or even 15 years old. It seems that I need to check my face first before I enter a town.

"Well it seems something interesting happened when I drank the rank B potion, now it's time for the grand finale."

Since when I drank the rank B potion my body slightly glowed does that mean that I would glow more when I drink the rank A potion? If that's the case my body can be used as a substitute for a lantern.

"Don't let me down, come out rank A potion!"

I could see the moment when the rank A potion came out because the palm of my hand became luminous then a glass bottle was created out of nowhere on the palm of my hand.

As expected of an A rank potion it fulfilled my expectations as it's glowing like a candle that illuminates the area.

It's not as bright as a flashlight but I was able to see the large rock that Meriri told me to look.

If I drink this potion I might glow more strongly than when I did with the B rank potion and since the effects of the B rank potion is fading I should drink this but when I tried to create another rank A potion nothing is happening, if the light that is being emitted by the potion went off I won't be able to see anymore so I guess it's a good idea to conserve the rank A potion by drinking it in small amounts until I got out of this forest. 

I tried creating another B rank potion but I can only produce one B rank potion. It seems that the daily limit of the B rank potion is two per day and it seems since the daily limit of the A rank potion is one per day does that mean that the daily limit of the C rank potion is three per day?

I would like to confirm my hypothesis but Meriri said that I need to get out of this forest quickly also I didn't know how long will the potion's glow will last so I decided to get out of the forest first.

I run into the direction of the large rock. The light of the potion shines for only one meter ahead of me but it's really strange as I can move very nimbly in this thick forest without bumping into any trees. I feel that I have a lot of energy so I run as fast as I can. 

After running for quite some time without being exhausted, I noticed that the light is beginning to sip out from the top of the forest. 

The light source of the A rank potion was no longer needed as the sun's rays were dimly illuminating the forest. So I finally decided to try tasting the rank A potion.

"Oh! It's bittersweet but it's drinkable. I felt like I'm drinking some kind of high-end energy drink. Maybe this is Yu*ker?"

I don't have any injuries, so I don't know the efficacy of the potion, also I don't feel anything unusual. I tried creating another A rank potion but it seems that I was right and the daily limit of it is one per day.

Also My body didn't glow like it did when I took the B rank potion or maybe I just didn't notice it because of the brightness of the surrounding.

I don't know if it was the effect of the potion or not, but my body is really light and I'm not getting tired so I just kept running and finally I got out of the forest.

Outside the forest, there were meadows and rivers, and in the distance I could see what looked like a town.

The sun is rising and it looked like I had been running for quite a while.

These potions are amazing. I'm not getting tired at all and I think that I can still run all the way to the city.

But since I already got out of the forest and I don't have to worry anymore about being attacked by monsters so I'll just take a leisurely walk towards the city.

"Kyu"
