Trisha's Past

After everything was done, I asked her: "What do you want me to do?"

She thought for a while, then said: "Before explain, let me tell you a story.

A long time ago, when this land was still called Xerxes, a girl was born without a name. Her father was an alchemy researcher, the right-hand adviser of the King of Xerxes. He bought many women to use as breeding slaves, mother of the girl was one of them.

His main project is to create Homunculus. He was the one found that pregnant women can be used as an energy source. He didn't care about his children who born from slaves, named them X-1, X-2.... and treated them as test subjects.

The girl was named X-23. When she turned fourteen, all 22 older siblings of her have died in experiments.

Maybe it's luck, maybe it's destiny, the experiment with her was a success. A Homunculus was created, it had the form of a ball made from black smoke.

Happy with this, the adviser introduces his result to the King. The Homunculus revealed that his soul from another world and offered that he could make the King immortal.

Bewitching by its words, Xerxes started wars with neighbor countries. After gathered enough prisoners of wars, the Human Transmuting Circle was activated. Unknown to the King, the Human Transmuting Circle also devoured the life of all Xerxesians, except for one: X-23 who held the flask contains the Homunculus during that ritual.

After seeing everyone dead, she ran away in horror and never looked back. The Homunculus was busy with making a new body thus couldn't stop her.

Xerxes was erased from history.

After a long time, she finally learned how to live with her guilt. And that girl was me."
