Have you ever imagined that, just when you've lost hope for the future, a mysterious beautiful girl might suddenly drop from the sky and save you, in that classic, cliche scenario?
But what if this beautiful girl is actually a landmine girl, and her way of saving you involves carving decorative patterns into you?
Right before Zhen Xin is a black-haired little girl who calls herself a "legendary alchemist," demonstrating the so-called alchemy she keeps going on about.
Of course, none of that matters!
The important thing is, she's just cut a bloody line into her arm out of nowhere! And now it's spurting blood!
"Hey! Didn't you say this was alchemy? Why did you suddenly get a decorative cut on your arm?!"
"Oh, don't make such a fuss. That's nothing. The more advanced stuff is a lot more complicated than just carving a pattern into yourself..."
"That's terrifying!"
In the 29th year since she began studying alchemy.
She had refined alchemy's greatest achievement, the Philosopher's Stone.
"All right, hurry up and grant my wish!
The price is losing all my memories of them, and keeping only my alchemy skills?"
Hmph. You're only leaving me with the desire, making me wander around like a headless fly, so I can only watch this life's tragedy play out all over again?
You think I'm afraid? I said, grant my wish!
My resolve won't let me be afraid. This time, I'm saving everyone, including myself."
