They are the four stages required for forging of the Philosopher's Stone from the raw energies of an alchemist's mind, body, and soul.

In the Azenar Empire, alchemists hold the reins of society. With salt, sulfur, and mercury, they manipulate the threads that hold reality together, causing supernatural feats that cannot be replicated by any Mundane. They have existed since time immemorial, pursuing their craft as they work their way through the four stages in the hopes of one day achieving immortality and unmatched power.

Ascion is one such alchemist, yet he descends from no illustrious lineage. With the war against the Eastern Kingdoms intensifying, First-Generation alchemists are deployed to the Camps and trained to fight on the front lines, but he has no desire to die. For three years, with his unique gift as a Metronome, he has evaded detection by the authorities, living day by day as a free man.

One costly mistake, however, is set to change the course of his life. If he is to avoid death, then he has no choice but to progress through the stages as quickly as he can.

Fantasy based with level system world, hopefully the MC won't be broken or op. I'm going to try to keep his abilities relatively balanced, but still better than most. There will be romance because I am a sucker, I want to try to make the relationships in between characters believable, for the most part. I like realism. I know the irony of realism with level system it's a little hypocritical of myself. That being said, I will try to hold nothing back when writing. Not over the top gore or fan service sex scenes. I will try to transport you there through my writing. That's the goal anyways.

I'm going to try my darndest to not use plot armor. (Besides meanings of names and languages if I decide to differentiate.) Once I choose something I'll try and stick to it to the best of my ability. This will be my first time writing a novel. I've written a lot of academic papers and English is my first language please don't flame me too much for incorrect spelling. I'm going to try and do quality over quantity, so updates won't be scheduled. I've always enjoyed reading and writing, I'm going to edit my story. Probably. This story will probably be the first draft. If requested, I will post an edited version in the future. (I wrote this wrong previously)

Anyways, I enjoy criticism and if this gets popular (clenches butthole and crosses fingers) I'll try to read the first 100 comments. If there is something that is really engaging and takes me more time to write a response, that might be all I respond to. I'm going to try to respond to actual assessments of my writing whether that by negative or positive. I will not respond to things that I deem as trolly, flaming me, or just written to hurt my feelings. If what I write shows anything about myself, I'd want it to reflect I'm a deep thinker. I might overthink from time to time but hopefully my story doesn't become monotonous. That being said, I will write the story that I enjoy and I'm not going to apologize for it.
