In the arid expanse of Hishigai, a town steeped in both beauty and danger, gold is more than a currency-it's a source of power and ambition. Kaito, a mysterious alchemist with a talent for manipulating gold, wanders through this vibrant desert landscape, shrouded in secrecy and haunted by his past. When a hoodlum with a penchant for chaos crosses his path, Kaito's carefully maintained solitude begins to unravel. Tensions rise as rival factions vie for control, and a sudden kidnapping thrusts him into a perilous game of wits and deception. With the help of an unlikely ally, Kaito must navigate a world where trust is scarce and betrayal lurks around every corner. As he confronts powerful enemies and grapples with his own desires, he discovers that the path to redemption may lead through the heart of darkness. In this tale of conflict and transformation, Kaito must confront his own shadows and decide what he's willing to sacrifice for gold, loyalty, and perhaps, love. Can he reclaim his destiny before the sands of time bury him beneath the weight of his choices?
