Chapter - 72

Kaito finished his breakfast, leaving the plates on the kitchen counter without a second thought. He walked toward his room, his mind already fixated on something far more important. As he entered, his gaze fell upon the stone hatch on the floor—the entrance to his hidden alchemy lab. He crouched, placed his hand on the cold surface, and channeled a bit of his mana. The stone shimmered faintly before sliding open, revealing a stairway leading into darkness.

Descending into the lab, Kaito felt the familiar scent of herbs, minerals, and lingering magic. Shelves filled with vials, crystals, and old parchment lined the walls. At the center, a sturdy alchemy table stood with various instruments neatly arranged—cauldrons, beakers, and a glowing rune-inscribed mortar.

He pulled out a chair, resting his elbows on the table, deep in thought.

"I need to make a potion that lets me form a psychic connection with anyone... but how the hell do I even begin?"
