World Background

In the traditions of the Aurean Empire, alchemy is not merely a science—it is a symbol of national pride and power.

Every year, the imperial capital hosts the National Alchemical Symposium, a grand event held at the Imperial Palace on the night of the autumn equinox. During this gathering, all Imperial State Alchemists must publicly present the results of their research from the past year. The Emperor personally evaluates their work, deciding the allocation of funding, the conferral of honors, and even whether each alchemist may retain their title.

Noble youths often attend the symposium as spectators, turning the event into both an intellectual exhibition and a social spectacle.

Each Imperial State Alchemist is granted an official title known as an Alchemical Epithet, representing their field of mastery and their prestige within the Empire’s alchemical order.

Despite its scholarly appearance, the symposium is ultimately a ruthless test of survival. The Empire believes that only alchemy capable of bringing tangible power to the nation deserves the honor of being called “state-level.”

For her research, she was granted the epithet The Alchemist of Life.

However, after years of producing no result
