She leaned against the tree trunk, took out a slate of black stuff from her pocket, bit forcefully, breaking off a piece. At first, she tasted bitterness, but as she chewed, a spirit-lifting sweetness emerged. Its texture was unique, reminiscent of soft wood, crisp when bitten, yet sticky on the teeth.
This was food from the Third-Turn Secret Realm, its origins unknown, bearing only an ancient name, 'Dark Chocolate'. It had effects of blood recovery and pain relief, though its efficacy was less than a Blood Replenishing Pill. Its taste was odd and its cost high, making it rarely purchased. Yet Ying Rushi loved its bitter-sweet taste, buying plenty to store in her Storage Ring.
