ling: yeah ill just go over to another country and get this special rock, then i’ll become emperor. easy. no big deal.
ling, after traveling across the desert, getting imprisoned, getting busted out by a serial killer with no body, staying at his apparently new best friends hotel room and helping him try to catch a homunculus, catch said homunculus but his body guard loses her arm in a fight with the to the leader of the country who’s also a homunculus, getting eaten and sent to a hell-like stomach in another plane of existence covered in blood where he eats his friend’s shoe, fighting a giant monster with faces of the damned covering them, coming back by crossing through god’s territory, finding the stone but becoming infused with it and now he has to share his body with a homunculus named greed who unsurprisingly hogs the body most of the time, after like 3 months he reunites with his friend in a cabin in the woods who now has two half-animal dudes with him, helping overthrow the corrupt government of this country but losing the lives of one of his body guards, living through an apocalypse, losing greed who he became close with and thus becoming human again, and helping kill god: you know what i think i was oversimplifying it a bit at first
