Wishing Lantern (First Update)

"This is already fully digested? Faster than I imagined!"

After returning home and lying in his crib, George discovered that the Potion within him had already been fully digested.

He had only just transformed a marionette and had been acting for less than an hour.

But on second thought, it made sense. After all, the marionette he had transformed possessed Sequence Five-level strength.
