Hello everyone,
We are kicking off Alchemy Stars "Queen's Festival" Half Anniversary Illustration Contest on December 23th, 2021 (Thursday).
▼What is "Alchemy Stars"?
Discover a riveting world brimming with magic and technology.
The light of the Aurora streaks across the stratosphere...
Follow its radiant glow to the limits of the skies above and beyond the outer stretches of the universe.
Our journey begins now in Astra, where the Aurorians and Caelestites have lived since the beginning of time.
The hundred years of peace have been disrupted with the sudden appearance and invasion of dark creatures known as Eclipsites, controlled by a mysterious organization from the shadows.
The Caelestites have all but perished at the hands of the Eclipsites...
As the sole survivor, you have endured countless hardships and a long and tortuous life of exile, deep underground.
17 years later, by chance, you were discovered by an Aurorian who brought you back up to the surface, where the Light shines bright.
