伊利斯之梦Ellixir's Dream

This is a voyage of alchemy, emotions, and self-discovery.

Story Synopsis:

I am "Ellixir," born into an alchemist family, living in seclusion with my father and my elder brother, Kunsheng.

One day, Kunsheng finally returns home. With our father's permission, we set sail on a long journey.

During our voyage, I meet Heiwei Renxuan, Aibai, Cyrus, and Rudolf, creating unforgettable memories together.

Yet, they came for alchemy and ultimately left because of it. In anger, I search for the truth, questioning everything they lost.

In the end, Kunsheng and I are both burdened by sin—our fates entwined from the very beginning. He promised me freedom, yet the Elysian feels more like a prison.

Like the paradox of Theseus' ship—Am I real? Are my emotions real? Who am I, truly?

One day, the truth will emerge, drifting from endless dreams into reality.
