Crimson Codex: Chronicles of the Mad Alchemist

Coolos3
In the kingdom of Astoria, filled with magic and monsters, Dr. Valerian Blackthorne is a genius alchemist who was expelled from the academy for his forbidden experiments. When a hero named Alex Chen—a young man from Earth summoned to save the world—arrives in the kingdom, Valerian sees the perfect opportunity. As a mid-level villain, Valerian is not the greatest threat in the world. But his ambition is simple yet dangerous: to conduct free experiments to understand the power that transcends moral boundaries. When his best experiment—a woman named Lyra who has been transformed into a human-dragon hybrid—begins to display extraordinary abilities, Valerian’s obsession with research begins to mix with complex feelings he has never felt before. In a world where heroes and demon lords are at war, Valerian moves in the shadows, building his power while avoiding detection. But how far is he willing to go for the sake of knowledge? And will his complicated relationship with Lyra be his Achilles’ heel or the key to his greatest strength?
