Additional chapters and acknowledgments.

Thank you for following my work; I'm happy with the direction it's taking.

I already have volume 2, which is very well-produced, comprehensive, and features several descriptions of new worlds and futures.

Thank you all again, and I'll conclude with some interesting facts about the world and the characters.

Name: Isz

Status: Alive

Birthday: March 25th

Gender: Male

Height: 1.79 m

Age: 7 years old in Chapter 1, between 12 and 13 years old in Chapter 2, and 19 years old at the end.

Fun Fact: Isz, whose name is inspired by Bloodborne, possesses a unique mastery over lightning, a technique that even alchemists cannot master. He also has fire techniques, but he has never used any of them, probably because he doesn't know how to use those powers.

Appearance: Isz has brown hair and wears a blue dress shirt, black pants with a holster and weapon belt, black boots, leather gloves, and a belt around his chest.

Name: Helena

Status: Deceased

Birthday: July 3rd

Gender: Female

Height: 1.68m

Age: Begins at age 7, becomes a priest's shield at age 16, and ends at age 19.

Fun Fact: The fight with Isz was supposed to be much more brutal and tense, but the tone was softened because it didn't suit Isz's personality.

The story begins the same way, but Isz provokes Helena even more and, without hesitation, cuts off her finger, intending to kill her, but is interrupted by Jako.

The exceptional physical abilities and singular beauty of this region are surprisingly similar to those of vampires.

Appearance: Long, straight silver hair, silver eyes, and pale skin. He wears a black leather suit with brown boots, a leather overcoat, and black trousers with a dagger holster.

Name: Alphonse

Status: Alive

Birthday: December 5th

Gender: Male

Height: 1.81 m

Age: Initially 8 years old, eventually 20 years old.

Fun Fact: Alphonse is the only alchemist who masters all the elements and is capable of learning magic on his own.

Some members of the Alchemist Society commented that his obsession with Helena is unhealthy and borders on strange insanity.

Appearance: Alphonse has neatly combed black hair, brown eyes, and wears a black suit, brown vest, and a white tunic with the church's symbol.

Name: Hyogo

Status: Deceased

Birthday: October 2nd

Gender: Male

Height: 1.79 m

Age: 8 to 20 years old

Fun Fact: Hyogo wasn't originally supposed to die, but I gave him so much power that I needed to eliminate him to continue the story, even if it meant cutting some chapters that would reveal too much about the plot.

Appearance: Hyogo is a black man with braided hair. Like Isz, he wears a white dress shirt with rolled-up sleeves and brown gloves. He carries a quiver on his back and a holster on his pants.

Name: Mary

Status: Deceased

Birthday: January 13th

Gender: Female

Height: 1.70 m

Age: Initially 7, then Shield 17, and finally 20.

Fun Fact: Mary was as ambitious as Alphonse and had her own aspirations, but she was different enough to become attached to the knights, despite being a libertine. She didn't mind using her beauty or her body to get what she wanted, but for some reason, she enjoyed mocking Alphonse.

She is in love with Helena and wants to create a new world with lith and demons, but she also feels sexual desires for Izu, which she makes very clear.

She also demonstrated a certain lust for Kana and wanted to do everything she could.

Initially, my intention was for her to provoke Gray, but I thought that would be too heavy for the story, so I decided to cut that part. She knows Gray's true identity and desires, to the point of trying to use her body to manipulate him.

Appearance: Long, shiny, dark purple hair, purple eyes, black leather shirt, black pants, black boots, red painted lips, and a sword on her back.

Name: Harpya

Status: Alive

Birthday: March 12th

Gender: Male

Height: 1.78 m 

Age: 17 years old when introduced, 23 years old at the end.

Fun fact: Harpya is the strongest knight and acclaimed as a genius. He became a knight at the age of five and his first weapon was a sword. He was chosen by the Silent Voice because of his strength and is the only one capable of controlling his powers.

Appearance: Blond hair, blue eyes, white skin. Wears a purple hat with feathers, a purple archer's outfit, and carries a holster and a flute pouch.

Name: Kana(Boom)

Status: Deceased

Birthday: May 22nd

Gender: Male

Height: 1.74 m (5'11")

Age: 10 years old at first appearance, 21 years old at completion date.

Fun fact: Kana met her friend Edward while attempting to steal cargo from a ship. Edward became interested in Kana, and the two developed a friendship. Kana was placed in an orphanage after her friend, with whom she lived in an abandoned house, passed away.

Edward considered Kana a brother and tried to help her after the tragedy in her life.

Initially, I intended to explore the characters' past more deeply, but I plan to do so in another work.

Appearance: Kana has long, bluish hair, pale skin, and dark eyes. He wears a black tank top, black pants with gold details, armbands, a bandana on his head, and his hair is tied back, giving him an androgynous look. He also has fingernails painted with magic gunpowder, earrings shaped like exploding barrels, and black painted eyes.

Name: Hindal

Status: Deceased

Birthday: February 15th

Gender: Male

Height: 1.76 m

Age: 19 years old at the beginning, 25 years old at the end.

Fun fact: He and Harpy were the only survivors of their generation of knights, who at the time formed a group of 10. Cerberus chose him and formed a bond with him.

Appearance: He has black hair and brown eyes, and wears a black shirt with leather shoulder pads and brown pants, with a holster on his leg.

Name: Irinea

Status: Alive

Birthday: April 4th

Gender: Female

Height: 1.69 m

Age: 7 years old when the story begins, 19 years old when it ends.

Fun fact: As you can see, she is the Queen of Illusions and, although she has great contempt for humans and inferior voices, she also respects them.

For some reason, she became very interested in Alphonse. He was the only person she didn't despise. Irinea was the one who sabotaged the Survey Corps reinforcements, and Gray was a subordinate who had feelings for her. Irinea knew Gray and despised him. She only protected herself because of Alphonse, but she knew of Gray's feelings and used them to her advantage. She would bathe next to Gray's room and throw away the handkerchief she used in the bath, but she felt a strong antipathy towards him. After her relationship with Alphonse, she described him in detail, saying that he could have been her if Gray hadn't been so incompetent.

This gave Gray false hope and envy, but when Irinea said she had dedicated herself only to Alphonse and given him her virginity, Gray was consumed by envy and despair.

The locals said she possessed a surreal beauty, but also an indifferent gaze that made them fear her.

Irinea clearly envied Helena and her beauty, but respected her and did her best not to interfere with her plans.

Appearance: She has long, shiny black hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and wears a white tunic over black shorts, black tights, and white boots.

Name: Gray

Status: Deceased

Birthday: April 1st

Gender: Male

Height: 1.85 m

Age: 27 years old at the beginning, 33 years old at the end.

Fun fact: Gray was the most powerful alchemist and attempted to destroy the Bestiary of Saint Golb at the behest of the Goddess of Illusion.

He manipulated Nina into cooperating with his plan and sacrificing the orphans.

He used Nina for his own pleasure, but his passion was for Irinea, and he manipulated her into believing she was saving Vein.

If Helena hadn't surprised him, he would have easily defeated her, and Irinea, realizing this, caused him to lose his arm to prevent a possible rebellion.

There was a part I decided to omit: Irinea touching herself and calling Alphonse's name after having sex with him, while Gray listens intently behind the door, spying on Alphonse and revealing his sick side.

Appearance: He has white hair and brown eyes, and is handsome. He wears a black suit with a gray vest, a black and white tunic, black gloves, and brown shoes. He has a small scar above his eye.

Name:Henrik Doz(Butcher)

Status: Deceased

Birthday:July 16

Gender: Male

Height: 1.82 m

Age: 27 when it was introduced and 39 when he died.

Fun fact: A sad fact is that the butcher never met his daughter, not even shortly before her death. He harbored a deep hatred for the midnight witches who killed his sister and used her body for rituals.

He mastered two elements, but never used any magic, relying only on his axe, which possessed immense strength, easily cutting through flesh and repelling enemies with its impact.

He earned this nickname after a mission to capture the leader of the witches, where he single-handedly annihilated all those in the forest. His superiors praised him and gave him this nickname, which became famous throughout the world.

Appearance: He wears a red dress shirt with a brown overcoat, an iron shoulder pad, and blue pants; he has brown hair and stubble.

Name: Anna Tolsburst

Status: Deceased

Birthday: August 11

Gender: Female

Height: 1.72

Age: 26 when it was introduced and 38 when she died.

Fun fact:Anna thought about suicide several times, but when she met Helena for the first time, she gave up the idea and managed to move on with her life.

She intended to forge a friendship with Helena so that she could finally be forgiven for her past sins, but ended up becoming attached to her, considering her as his daughter along with Mary.

Appearance: Anna has long brown hair, wears light iron armor with leather pants and brown boots, brown gloves, and an overcoat.

Name: Norbit Klember

Status: Deceased

Birthday: March 23th

Gender: Male

Height: 1.86

Age: 34 when he was introduced and 41 when he died.

Fun fact: Norbit wasn't initially an alchemist, but rather a scout knight, and the best of them. However, he left the knightly order because he couldn't bear so many bad things happening and found comfort taking care of the children at the orphanage.

He learned alchemy as a hobby, but incredibly he became very good at it, so good that he was considered a candidate for high priest; he was the only one who knew about the Immaculate Relics of the church.

Norbit's greatest dream was for the children to have peace and be able to live as tranquil a life as possible; he was completely against the recruitment of orphans to be either soldiers or knights.

Appearance: Norbit is a black man with a white beard; he wears white pants and black boots, and a white alchemist's overcoat.

Name: Nina

Status: Deceased

Birthday: August 7

Gender: Female

Height: 1.65

Age: 19 when it was introduced and 26 when she died.

Fun fact: Nina was an orphan from the same era as Harpya, but they weren't very close, since Harpya spent little time at the orphanage.

Initially, I planned to give her a relic, but I couldn't find a suitable space to develop it properly, so I discarded the idea.

Nina ended up falling in love with Gray to the point of contributing to his macabre plans; in the end, she regretted it after much self-imposed pressure. A sad fact is that her soul found no rest because of her pact with Gray.

I will develop the trapped souls in the second volume of the work, since I have all the material ready.

Appearance: Nina has blonde hair and green eyes, she wears a white nurse's outfit and a necklace with the alchemist's symbol.

Name: Baron Koss

Status: Alive

Birthday: May 27

Gender: Male

Height: 1.80

Age: 30 when it was introduced and 38 in present.

Fun fact: Baron wasn't a knight and was never part of the order, he was an amateur fighter who defeated monsters and a church that admired his skills. He excelled so much that he became a fighting instructor and earned an S relic.

Appearance: Baron is a bald man with a beard; he wears a short-sleeved shirt and blue overalls with black gloves.

Name: Zhofia Veil uard

Status: Alive

Birthday: May 2

Gender: Female

Height: 1.70

Age: 19 when it was introduced and 25 in present.

Fun fact: I intended to kill Zhofia in this same volume, but I thought it would be interesting to create an arc for her in the second volume. I definitely enjoyed her arc in this new volume; it will be cruel and violent, but the conclusion was satisfying.

Appearance: Zhofia has red hair and green eyes; she wore a white dress adorned with gold jewelry and transparent heels.

When she transforms into Lith, her eye turns red, she grows small red horns, her nails turn black, she wears a black dress that reveals her private parts, and she has a demon wing on her back.
