You are an alchemist working with a team to attempt to synthesize the Philosopher’s Stone. Surprisingly, they succeed. However, what the you didn’t know is that the team you were working for was actually a cult, and the stories of the Philosopher’s Stone being able to turn lead into gold and cure immortality were not its true purpose. Instead, its power explodes out throughout the world, transmuting various unassuming minerals, flora, and fauna into dangerous, demonic entities. In the process, the stone implants itself into you, who were closest to it upon its completion. After you yourself is transmuted beyond recognition, you find yourself awoken far from the original lab you were cursed in. You must now do your best to fight your way to the lab in hopes of getting answers and undoing the changes to your body.
