Prologue:
“Hahahaha... Alice, I was finally able to refine the mana heart opening Solution. I’ve succeeded...” Inside a messy lab, Seth Clinton was laughing, clutching a porcelain bottle in his hand as if he had gone mad.
“” A glass cup fell onto the ground, spilling tea everywhere. A beautiful girl in a white casual gown stood by the doorway, blankly staring at the hysterical Seth. Only after a good while did she speak in a shivering voice, “Seth, did you succeed? Did you really succeed?”
Seth stared at the beautiful girl standing at the entrance grinning. He knew that alice had come to serve him a cup of tea. This piece of information had shocked Alice greatly; due to her excitement, the cup slipped from her hands and fell to the ground.
“alice, there is absolutely no error this time around. I just tried half of the bottle, but I could clearly feel as if a fire was burning down my heart.
i can see that it is gradually being opened and expanded. At the moment, my mana heart are still in the process of opening, but we have succeeded.”
Seth, while holding the porcelain bottle, excitedly walked up to the girl and grabbed her hands. “Alice, it has been hard for you. In all these years, I have been dedicated to researching the mana heart Solution and I did not take care of you. Instead, you had to take care of me. Let us marry. Afterward, we will start a company specializing in the production of the mana heart Solution. I believe our business will soon be a sensation throughout the world.”
The girl finally calmed down, but she still spoke in a shivering voice, “Did you take down the formula?”
Seth nodded his head, “Alice, don’t worry. I have all the information on my laptop, and tabs. come take a look...”
After Seth finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards his table.
Suddenly, he felt something cold, followed by an excruciating pain entering his body from his back. Upon seeing the tip of a blade emerging from his chest, he realized that someone had stabbed him through his heart from his back.
The pain caused him to feel extremely dizzy and his strength started to fade away, and his heart was pounding with a twisting pain. Seth slowly turned his head around as he unconsciously looked at the hands clasping the blade. It was Non other than Alice's. With his eyes wide open, he muttered, “Alice... Why? Why?”
He still could not believe that his lover whom he had loved dearly for many years would stab him.
“I’m sorry, Seth. I’m sorry...” Alice’s hands were trembling as a shudder went through her whole body. She had killed her lover. He was the man who she had loved for over a decade and the one who had showered her with endless affection.
Two teardrops appeared at the corners of Seth’s eyes. He felt his body becoming colder by the second, but due to the opening of his Mana heart, his body had became stronger, so he didn't die immediately.
As blood flowed out of his injured chest, and time flew by, He gradually lost his consciousness and his eyes began to lose its luster. However, he still did not want to close his eyes. He kept on staring at Alice as he murmured, “If you wanted the formula... you just had to say it and I would have given it to you... why?”
Seth did not shed his tears because he was dying. For as long as he could remember, he had never cried in his life. However, today, what hurt the most was not the injury on his back, but the pain caused by the brutal betrayal of the one he called his lover.
Perhaps even Alice did not know her position in Seth’s heart. If she had asked for it, Seth would have willingly died for her. However, Alice, the woman who he would have gladly died for, had stabbed him on this fateful day.
Maybe the question would remain unanswered for a long time. Perhaps he would not even be able to rest in his grave. His dim eyes finally closed, leaving the two teardrops by the corners of his eyes, and blood allover his body.
“drip...” Alice also shed two lines of tears, which fell on the corners of Seth's eyes, washing away his teardrops.

The sharp cry of a bird woke Seth up. As soon as he raised his head, he saw a single crow flying above him, quickly disappearing together with its shrill cries.
“Where am I?” seth felt strange. He seemed to be sitting on a newly piled up tomb, surrounded by seven to eight children kneeling in front of him. Among them, a young girl wearing a floral blue skirt was holding a bamboo basket beside him.
As Seth was still confused about the situation, the young girl whispered with a gentle voice, “Everyone behaved well today, however, there are no more sweets left so let us call it a day and come back tomorrow to continue playing.”
