บท 902: Old Zeno

Three years had passed since Vale's transaction with the Chaos Alchemist, and during this time, a lot of things had changed.

The Philosopher's Elixir, once a rare and coveted potion, was now available to all. It had become a rite of passage, allowing every child over the age of twelve to unlock their magical potential.

While the elixir was powerful, it came with its limitations—those under twelve suffered bizarre mutations if they dared to drink it too early.

These mutations weren't harmful at all, but it was better to avoid them. These mutations could be having white streaks of hair, numerous moles, and yellowed teeth. They had become the hallmarks of impatience...

So, it became law to every nation that only those twelve and older could consume it.
