The Vein-Opening Pill was steeped in blood.
Even tracing back to its origins, it had borne original sin from the moment of its birth.
Yet it was indeed one of the crucial reasons the Human Race had been able to emerge from the Dark Age.
More than that, it was an indispensable foundation upon which the extraordinary world had developed to this day!
Over countless ages, how much history had vanished, how many myths had shattered, how many great legacies had dispersed like smoke.
