Novel Bin
Chapter 53
In the quiet solitude of her research lab, Lynne Eneria, the alchemy professor, was lost in deep thought—replaying her conversation with Yujin Han over and over in her mind.
"A mortal can become a transcendent… huh."
Most of their discussion had been trivial chatter, but that last part—that last part was different.
Transcendents.
Beings beyond mortal reach.
Entities who wield laws as authority—who bend reality with their very existence.
For Lynne, they were the ultimate object of study.
For Lynne, they were her greatest desire.
Among alchemists, the Philosopher’s Stone was revered as the pinnacle of achievement.
But what was it, really?
A mere imitation—a copy of the Dragon Heart, an organ of transcendents.
A flawed attempt to replicate endless mana.
A pathetic shadow of something greater.
So why?
Why did so many waste their lives chasing after something that wasn't even the real thing?
Lynne had questioned it ever since she first entered the field of alchemy.
Why settle for this imitation?@@novelbin@@
To her, it was laughable.
What do you think?
