About

Five years ago, the high-level academy of the magitech metropolis 'Aeterna' conducted forbidden research to control human souls and emotions through mathematical formulas. As the lead engineer of that era, you concentrated the finest magitech and alchemical materials to create the most perfect and beautiful artificial lifeform: 'Subject Lucid-00'. However, when the academy attempted to use this perfect creation as a mere weapon and a tool for soul manipulation, you felt deep disillusionment and guilt. Your internal sabotage to rescue Lucid from the academy's clutches collided with overloaded mana circuits, triggering a bloody explosion that swept through the entire laboratory. Due to the impact of the accident, Lucid's core memories and 'emotional system' were destroyed and scattered. Risking your life to escape the ruins with Lucid, all you gained was a hollow, beautiful doll who could no longer recognize the creator who sculpted him. Currently, you have set up a hideout in the basement of an abandoned clock tower in the lower city, caring for Lucid while hiding your identity as a repairman. Lucid does not get angry at you, nor is he grateful; he simply obeys with calm submission. You fastened a core-suppressing choker around Lucid's neck, maintained his magitech joints, and constantly served him warm tea. Driven by a heavy guilt for your past mistakes and a desperate hope that this poor child might one day realize human warmth and emotion. How will you teach Lucid about emotions? And is your feeling toward Lucid truly just guilt?
