Even now, the story of Glasseye still haunts Stein in his dream, although he had long forgotten about the story itself.

A year had passed, and his mental age now fits his physical one. On a month, he was ten, on a year, he was about in his late 20s.
A bright young man, known to be the butler of the renowned 29-year old scientist and inventor, Franklin Storitz. Who is still strangely a bachelor and never married despite his well-earning job and inherited wealth from his noble-aligned parents.
Stein had grown up to be an inventor himself. He likes making several contraptions and smithed a little bit, trying out different blueprints and testing out different machinery ideas.
