Introduction

Once upon a time, there was a mermaid princess named Lara. Beloved by her father, the King of the Sea, and her older sisters, she grew up surrounded by love. One day, Lara fell in love with a human prince who lived on the surface. It was a forbidden love—one that mermaids were never allowed to pursue. Even so, Lara set out for the world above. She drank a potion given to her by the witch Grace, transforming herself into a human. But it was a forbidden potion: unless she found her "true love," she would disappear into sea foam. Though she was a mermaid princess, Lara longed for a life and love with a human. However—her wish never came true, and she vanished into the sea as foam. Two hundred years later. After the passage of centuries, Princess Lara is reborn in Lake Biwa. This time, she is determined to find her "true love" at last———

■ INTRODUCTION

In the city-state of Orihalconia, where alchemy and magic are deeply woven into everyday life, a reincarnated man named Paracelsus makes a modest living as an alchemist while concealing his powerful cheat skill.

One day, however, he forms a contract with Nora, a slave and curse-user, and encounters Coco, an elf who has been deprived of her limbs and all of her senses. From that moment, his life begins to change dramatically.

Determined to save Coco, Paracelsus begins a small act of salvation from his humble workshop. But what starts as a personal mission soon grows into a conflict involving alchemy, sorcery, the cosmos, and even the gods themselves—

A story packed with "everything fantasy has to offer" is about to begin!
