Rise of the Alchemy God - Chapter 18: The Small Stone Cauldron

Welcome! If you want to jump in without any spoilers, feel free. Otherwise, here's a story primer, with a list of more specifics on what to expect from my work further below.Our story follows a fallen knight haunted by his past, in a world afflicted by war and supernatural wounds. Alken is the Headsman of Seydis, an executioner tasked by the divine powers of his homeland to hunt dark sorcerers, warlords, and traitors of all varieties, lest they drag the world into calamity.Once a paladin, this role ill suits him. Forced to cross lines that shake his beliefs, tempted by dark forces, and seen as an ill omen wherever he wanders, his path is often a bloody one. The longer he spends in the shadows of his world, the more he comes to realize just how many have been disenfranchised by the existent order. During his lonely battles through a land haunted by the restless dead and ancient magics, his journey becomes increasingly strange and personal.Enter a realm where the dead stir in every shadow and brooding demigods wage a millennia long war for a ruined heaven, where blessed knights wield gilded flames and sorcerers battle with weapons forged of their own souls. Enter a world of faustian alchemists, of saintly demons, and of time-weary elves.From Oathbreaker you can expect— A setting heavily inspired by Forgotten Realms, Planescape, Fromsoft games, and authors such as Michael Moorcock and Kentauro Miura. — A first person POV from an older protagonist who already knows a lot about his world’s history and cultures, who shares this information with the reader as it becomes relevant.— A mix of action adventure and quieter moments where the focus is on character development. Lore is shared piecemeal, usually only as it relates to a particular arc or character beat.— A heavy focus on mystery, both with the setting and the protagonist. The main character’s backstory isn’t shared up front, and a lot of the narrative involves learning about him a bit at a time, either from his own narration or other characters interacting with him.— A semi-soft magic system where many mages manifest unique powers tied to their own soul, or gain unique powers through eldritch pacts.— Romantic elements. These don’t crop up much until later in the story.— A variety of supernatural beings, such as elves, vampires, gargoyles, chimera, and trolls. Many are familiar, some are not, and most of the familiar ones have my own twists put on them.—Nobledark fantasy. This means that the world is often themed around tragedy and horror, but it’s not dedicated to being gritty. There are elements of high fantasy intermixed with the scarier stuff.—Episodic arcs. Each story arc usually has a specific locale and antagonist or set of antagonists, but certain overarching plots tie them together.— A long running narrative. I don’t have a specific projection of how long or how many arcs or books, but you should expect this to be equivalent to a long running serialized work.This is my first web serial! I hope everyone enjoys it. For trigger warnings, readers should beware that there are some heavy topics in here. When I think something might upset certain readers, I’ll put a warning in the author notes above a chapter. If I miss or overlook anything, feel free to let me know in the comments! I am currently publishing the same story on my wordpress, which is linked below and in my profile. I release three chapters a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Thanks for reading!(I originally had a link to a wordpress, but I'm in the process of overhauling that space. It's not a priority since my readership is all here, but just in case anyone noticed and was wondering)

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move. Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this. Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored. Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange? Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was. Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word. You.

#Chapter Thirteen Amnesia/The age difference of six years old is o in the early stage, and it will be divided into a twice
When Jiang Jinyi was eighteen years old, her mother brought back a woman and asked her to call her sister.
At the beginning, they got along fairly well, but for some reason, Jiang Jinyi began to hate her, and even only hated her because she ran away from home.
One day four years later, Jiang Jinyi was attacked and his life was saved, but his memory returned to the year when he was eighteen years old when he first met Jiang Youwan.
The cold and elegant omega in my memory took her upstairs into his arms with red eyes and frantically, and said tremblingly, “I beg you, come home with me, okay?”
Jiang Jinyi blinked, “Okay…”
–
Only Jiang Youwan knew that she fell in love with the second young lady of the Jiang family.
But the disgust on Jiang Jinyi’s face made her hide her love in her dark heart.
She ran away from home, she has been secretly protecting her and helping her, originally thinking of letting her fly, just watch from a distance.
But the sudden injury and amnesia caused Jiang Youwan’s inner desire to stir.
——
Drunk at night, Jiang Youwan took the opportunity to make her say many, many words that she would never leave, and recorded them before allowing her to sleep in his arms.
After the second differentiation, Jiang Youwan tempted her to bite her own glands, so that she could never quit.
No one knows that omega President Jiang, who is usually abstinent and indifferent, is trying to seduce the second lady in her family every day.
Jiang Jinyi is sinking in her gentle hometown and gradually lost…
Jiang Youwan hoped that they could continue like this, but Jiang Jinyi still regained her memory, and her dream was broken.
Jiang Youwan clenched her wrist tightly, stared at her, trapped her with pheromones, and said, “Don’t think about leaving me!”

Six-year-old age difference, weak A is strong O, A is o in the early stage, secondary differentiation into a, female a has no second set of organs.
CP has no blood relationship, not real sisters, dog blood warning!
