With his final breath, Ernest's gaze fell upon the tube that contained his greatest achievement: a perfect artificial being known as the Homunculus.More than just a vessel resembling a human, this creation harbored the power of a catastrophic beast—one that had once nearly brought the world to ruin.

One day, an alienation took place in the world.

Someone finally touched a hair, and his body grew strange hairs, becoming a long-haired monster;

Someone finally touched…
