KNOWN BACKGROUND:
Ugly Max’s mother was a hopeless romantic. In reality she was an ordinary housewife. She washed clothes, swept floors, embroidered lace… but every spare moment belonged to her books. When Max hatched, a single snow-white feather decorated his tiny body, and she became absolutely convinced that one day he would grow into a magnificent white swan. The rest of the family had other ideas. They insisted he should be named after his grandfather – Max, the old black-winged hunter. And so the little gosling became known as Ugly Max.
As you have probably guessed, he never turned into a swan.Instead, he devoted his life to studying herbs, minerals, and alchemy.Nowadays, whenever the residents of the Academy hear another explosion echoing from the underground laboratories, they simply shake their heads.”Ah… Max again.””Let’s hope he survived this one.”
Oddly enough, his potions remain among the most sought-after treasures in the Kingdom, the Borderlands, and even beyond the Known World. Everyone knows one simple truth:Max has never managed to reproduce a single one of his greatest discoveries… Even though he writes everything down.
