Story
The Aladissian Empire once thrived on a certain continent, having achieved remarkable development through alchemy that kept other nations at bay. However, it met its end due to a sudden and mysterious cataclysm.
Time progressed, and several centuries later—. Alchemy became known as a “dangerous art that brings destruction,” considered “evil” and “taboo” in this new era.
In this now forbidden and perilous land, a lone alchemist sets foot. Her name is Yumia Reisfelt. Three years ago, after losing her mother in an accident, Yumia discovered that she was from a family of alchemists and began to question many things.
Why was Aladiss destroyed? Why did alchemy become “taboo”?… Is alchemy truly “evil”?
Believing that all truths lie within the continent, Yumia embarks on a journey to uncover the lost history.
