Mertillier Story

Reversing the Curse

I sure hope you can see the real sky one day.
- Mertillier

Mertillier, a brilliant but ruthless scientist obsessed with unraveling the secrets of life, has created countless homunculi – artificial beings – in her relentless pursuit. Driven by a desire to break the curse that makes her a witch, she discards these homunculi after a mere three days. However, one creation, specimen A.A., defies expectations, exhibiting exceptional magical power and a surprisingly long lifespan. This unexpected development sparks a new hypothesis: by turning a homunculus into a witch, Mertillier can unlock the secrets needed to reverse her curse.

A visit from the Pope, who is surprisingly knowledgeable about Mertillier's work, introduces her to fantastical concepts like the Tree of Life, angels, and souls. Inspired by these myths, Mertillier refocuses her research and, with A.A.'s help, achieves breakthroughs in understanding magic. Yet, amidst her scientific fervor, a human connection blossoms. A.A.'s innocent question about the sky and her childlike wonder awaken a maternal instinct in Mertillier. She fixates on enriching her limited world, prioritizing her happiness above her research.

A.A., My Child

I would destroy the world for my child.
- Mertillier

Her newfound love for the specimen, A.A., transcends logic. Mertillier, who once scoffed at the notion of sacrificing the world for one life, now joins a project she knows will bring about global destruction – all to ensure A.A.'s survival. The project's success brings a cruel twist of fate. A mighty angel is born within A.A.'s artificial body – the Angel of Love.

Mertillier faces the consequences of her actions. She understands her remaining time with A.A. is limited, a mere decade at most. Yet, she embraces the inevitable, cherishing every moment. She anticipates a future filled with pain but finds solace in the warmth of their bond.

Mertillier Personality

Mertillier is a compelling character who undergoes a significant transformation. Initially, a ruthless scientist consumed by ambition, she develops a deep and unexpected love for Little A. This love awakens her guilt and compels her to prioritize Little A's well-being above her research. Although regretful, Mertillier embraces the time she has left with Little A, showcasing a newfound capacity for love and selflessness.

Mertillier Memories

Chapter 1
...30682. That's the number of homunculi I've made so far. I haven't kept count, but that's the latest specimen's serial number, so I've figured as much. The average lifespan of a homunculus is three days. However, out of all the specimens thus far, this new one has the most potent magic power. Three days have passed, but its heart has yet to cease functioning. If I can develop this specimen into a witch, then it will mean tremendous progress for my research. Understanding how to turn a person into a witch should also shed light on how to do the reverse. Hence, I should be able to restore this cursed body of mine.

Chapter 2
A puppet devoid of emotions can't use magic powers. My plan to turn this homunculus into a witch was experiencing setbacks. One day, the Pope visited my laboratory. I had no idea what would bring the supreme authority of the Church of Longinus here, but she was shockingly well-versed in my field work. Existence. The Tree of Life. Witches and angels. The heart and the soul... What sounded like myths the Church would preach about recounted our world in incredible detail. God created this world. Within each of us exists a soul, and angels reside in the heavens above. They all seemed like works of fiction written by a child, but what if they were true...? I formulated a completely new theory based on these myths, and I saw magic powers finally manifest in my new specimen.

Chapter 3
I named the specimen "A.A." Thanks to her, all of my experiments progressed immensely. What is a witch? What is a soul? To know those answers is to know the secret of life. Before I knew it, I had lost sight of my mission, completely immersing myself in research and inhumane experiments. The truth of the world is within my grasp, filling me with ecstasy that drowned out any feeling of guilt. But one day, as I was leading A.A. to the laboratory by hand, I felt her squeeze back. Her hand was far smaller than mine. It's laughably thin and looked as if it could snap at any moment. Yet, she grasped my fingers as tightly as she could. It was at that moment that I understood. I wasn't creating puppets... I was creating "lives."

Chapter 4
"Professor, what is the 'sky?'" Little A asked me that question after I let her read a book. She has no clue what the sky is because she's never set foot outside the laboratory. I showed her some photographs, but that just added to her bewilderment. No amount of words or photographs can convey how blue and beautiful the sky is. After staring at the collections of blue ink for a while, she looked up at the laboratory ceiling and muttered curiously, "The sky here is so white..." "I sure hope you can see the real sky one day." "That would be nice," she replied, her emotionless eyes trembling ever so slightly. Is there any way to show Little A that sky? If I learned of a witch who could control light, I went to ask them if they'd make a sky for Little A. If I got word of a book with beautiful photographs of the sky, I procured it at once. My research falls behind, and I spend more time exclusively on these "experiments." By the time I realized it, she was the only thing I could think about.

Chapter 5
"I would destroy the world for my child." Whenever I read books with that line of thinking, I'd find them to be illogical. Weighing the life of one against the rest of humanity? It would be ludicrous to compare. But... The average lifespan of a homunculus is three days. Little A has marvelously lived for one year, but that miracle won't last much longer. I'll make sure she lives longer, even if it's just a day. For that reason alone, I joined the Pope's "Qlipha Project..." all the while knowing that it would result in the end of the world. The project succeeds as expected, conjuring forth an angel. The archangel of the seventh Sephirah— Haniel, the Angel of Love. Although created as a heartless puppet, Little A was made to host the Angel of Love within her body. How ironic. Or perhaps, it's because she's a puppet, that she wished for a love that wasn't meant to exist.

Chapter 6
The power of a witch is influenced by her emotions. Powers can manifest from happiness and joy, but something more powerful is evoked from pain and sadness. We have many "treasures" in our lives— the time we spend enjoying meals with family, conversations with friends, being near the people important to us... They're normal everyday things to us... but if we were to lose even one of them, we'd surely cry out in distress. But what if there was someone who only had one of those "treasures?" Once it's gone, how much agony would that person suffer? The Kingdom of Byrune was destroyed by a Curse—one that turns everything to rust. A curse of love gone completely berserk.

Chapter 7
How much power can the Tree of Life give? How long does a homunculus-turned-witch have to live? Everything is new to me, so I don't have a clue. But I'm sure my time with Little A will be short. We might have 10 more years... or we might have until tomorrow... I'm bound to accept punishment for my sins one day, but I regret nothing. Even if what lies ahead is the most painful of goodbyes... Even if my soul will be shattered to pieces... I will never forget all the warm memories Little A gave me...for the rest of my life.

Login 1	Welcome back, my lord. How are you feeling today?
Login 2	Welcome back, my lord. It's been a while since I last saw you. Everything okay? If anything's on your mind, I'm all ears.
Home 1	Alright, I've got to give it my all at work today so that Little A and I can have lot's of fun later!
Home 2	Draw a circle here. Draw a circle there. And just like magic, we have a little bear! Hehe, doing this really makes me feel like a kid again.
Home 3	Hmmm... Would you say it's better to stay in this body, but lose all of my memories...or duplicate all of my memories into a different body...? Where do you think the essence of life is found—in the body or in the mind?
Home 4	Speaking from experience, the most effective way to improve productivity is to take periodic breaks. Having said that, which would you like—coffee or tea?
Home 5	My lord, thanks to you I can enjoy each passing day with Little A. I'm grateful...from the bottom of my heart.
Home 6	Today's your birthday, my lord? Happy birthday! For your present... Hehe, I can create just about anything out there, so what tickles your fancy?
Home 7	I didn't want to become a witch. If I could get rid of these cursed powers, I would. That's why I started this research. Life, the soul, magical powers... If I can figure out how they're all connected, I should be able to find a way to turn a witch back into a human.
Home 8	We must value every life out there. All those homunculi I created were living beings. That's something I didn't understand back then. Though...it's not like I can do anything to make up for what I've done...
Home 9	Little A's going through a rebellious phase lately. She gets angry if she catches me with midnight snacks, berating me at how unhealthy they are. To think that she worries about me... Hehehe, I wonder if this is what it feels like to be a mother...
Home 10	Hey my lord, I'm sure work ties you down, but, can you free up a day for Little A and me? If you like, how about the three of us go out on a picnic? I want to create as many fun memories as I can while I still have the chance.
Home 11	Isn't this body just the cutest thing? I call it my crowning achievement, but what do you think?
Home 12	Everything I do, I do for Little A. I don't know how much time we have left together...but I'm sure my luck has run dry. So if anything happens to me, please take care of my dear Little A. You're the only one I can ask.
Awakening 1	Have I made another fascinating breakthrough?
Awakening 2	What do you think? Does my ingenuity make me look cool?
Awakening 3	Thank you, my lord. I've got to work hard to meet your expectations.
Awakening 4	In all my research... I never would have guessed my magical power could progress to this stage. I guess there's still much I need to learn...
Awakening 5	At this stage.. I'm sure I'm strong enough to protect both you and Little A. Don't worry! I won't work myself to the bone anymore... At least... I'll try not to.
Awakening 6	If I has this much power, I can stay with everyone for a little bit longer. I'll prove how useful my expertise is. So please, keep me by your side from now on.
Victory	I wonder if Little A was watching me.
Defeat	I take full responsibility for this...
Skill 1	These things happen.
Skill 2	Just as I've researched!
