Before he became a madman, Dr. Vorun, one of the main villains of the story, was known as the world's most intelligent man.
He didn't have any talent in other fields, but when it came to mental strength and intelligence, no one could beat him.
He was the best at any topic related to magic theories or experiments, so much so that everyone who knew about him tried to scout him, but his life wasn't as good as it looked.
There were always people coming after his life, and worse, no one he knew was willing to help him until he gave them something in return.
Worse yet, he didn't have anyone to call family.
His parents had abandoned him when he was a child, and until he grew famous, he hadn't seen a single gaze that didn't look at him with disgust.
After all, he wasn't much of a looker.
With a head too big for his body and his bulging eyes, most people avoided him, and those who didn't evade him would outright insult him or even beat him up.
