In a world where alchemy holds both wonder and danger, Seth, a seasoned Royal Alchemist, is summoned to a crime scene unlike any he's ever encountered. A chilling discovery awaits him amidst the haunting forest: a macabre display of failed alchemical experiments, where grotesque creatures lie lifeless on the ground.
Venturing further, Seth stumbles upon an enigmatic abandoned school, its existence shrouded in mystery. Amongst the decaying autumn leaves, a lone survivor emerges-a spectral girl, unsettling in her presence. Her confession shocks Seth to the core: she claims responsibility for the demise of the mastermind behind this abominable alchemy malpractice.
As their eyes meet, an unnerving calmness envelops the air, and the girl's words penetrate Seth's very soul: "Father's body rests in the creek." With each passing moment, Seth realizes that unraveling this dark enigma will lead him deeper into a treacherous web of secrets, where the line between alchemy's transformative power and its unforgiving consequences blurs, leaving him questioning everything he once believed.

The Shattered One
This is an original work, so if you plan to offer something, don't. She woke up fractured, wrong, and forgotten. The world she once knew is gone, twisted by a cataclysm known only as The Fade. Now, forests breathe, light drips like water, and creatures mimic human voices with uncanny precision. Time bends in impossible ways, and raw emotion manifests into monsters. Nothing is natural. Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.
