Alchemy

Prologue

Equivalent exchange, that is the unbroken law in alchemy, it is the worlds one and only truth. It is an otherworldly power practised by scientists who are curious about its magical powers. It's amazing powers tread on the domain of god itself. It is the de-construction of an object and reforming it into something that has equal value in any aspect. Many have practised this mysterious art in their lust for money, if performed properly, one could obtain unlimited power, in exchange for lead they could transform into gold, it is even said that they could bring back the dead. For these reasons, they have spent years of their own lives and of others, researching this art, to completely master it's secrets. Lusting for the power that alchemy holds, victims of their own greed. Centuries of research and yet none were able to transmute gold, only able to do fake imitations, their dreams fading away into the distance forever out of their reach, as their bodies rot away, years of research wasted. It was god's way of divine punishment for those who defy the rules that is setup in this world. After centuries of failed attempts, alchemy became a thing of fantasy, a dream that could never come true. Over the course of time, alchemy became forgotten and recreated into a more logical form of use and does not tread on god's domain, it is now commonly used and taught in schools, now known as "chemistry". However, not many know the truth, that a single miracle in the field of alchemy was successful over the course of history.

And i was the man who did it, through hazardous journeys and life-threatening dangers, the dicovery of the most powerful creation of this world was what led me to perform a perfect transmutation, but it was not for something as petty as lust for money and power, the reason I travelled to find it was for the most precious gift, god has ever given to us, LIFE.

I was an ordinary man in my early 20s that was driven into this fiasco because of war. Forced to research the secrets of alchemy, I've watched so many people die that my tears have dried up. In the end, alchemy was forgotten by the world.
