Richard, a broke, sharp-tongued black-market vet, gets evicted from his rundown flat and is hired at an astronomical rate by the mysterious noblewoman Catherine to be the night keeper of Ashford Manor. His plan is simple: coast through the shift, collect his paycheck, and get out. But when he stumbles into a forbidden zone to save a mortally wounded Abyssal Royal Squid, he inadvertently completes the seal on an S-class calamity—and the overflow magic floods straight into him. Suddenly, the entire world thinks some legendary hidden powerhouse just obliterated the disaster. He keeps healing beasts for the money, but the more he heals, the stronger he becomes, earning him an A-rank agent badge from the DMTC. As he digs deeper into the manor's secrets, he uncovers the horrifying truth—this is no mansion, but a crumbling prison built on the souls of fourteen ancestral guardians, barely containing thousands of calamities. And he has been chosen as the sole heir to inherit their power and end a century-long nightmare.

Adrian Vane, the empire's peerless alchemical prodigy and the architect of dragon blood alchemy, was betrayed and slain by his own protégé, Sebastian Kraven. His soul became bound to A.V.001, a discarded Class F iron golem in his abandoned laboratory — where he made a staggering discovery: the golem's frame allowed him to channel alchemy directly, with no transmutation array required.For three years, Adrian lay low in a desolate scrapyard, reforging his golem body from scrap through alchemy while plotting to infiltrate the Imperial Alchemy Association and exact vengeance on Kraven. His seclusion broke when Lena Holloway, an expelled academy dropout scavenging to survive, stumbled into his refuge. The two forged an unlikely alliance.Thus emerged a most unassuming pair: a disgraced student and her battered Class F golem. They would step foot into the Imperial Alchemy Academy, and set off a storm that would rock the very foundations of the empire's alchemical world.
