So far, Edgar has proven successful in integrating into his new surroundings, learning, and enhancing his quality of life. Despite his best efforts to stay off the radar and keep his talents a secret, he still needs to survive in a world full of unexpected dangers.
As an alchemist, he has a lot of groundbreaking discoveries to offer to the aristocratic society. But the daunting task is to find the right balance and preserve his integrity while pursuing his ambition. How can he be sure that people won’t use his innovations for malevolent purposes?
After the exams, Edgar took a well-deserved vacation, away from the shining lights of the capital. Upon return, he will have to decide whether it is a good idea to take a bold leap: to reveal his skills and assert his rightful place in the world, determined to reclaim his aristocratic status in full.
As if juggling two schools hasn’t been enough, Edgar now has a mentor and another important project. However, with new ventures come new obstacles and challenges, testing Edgar’s resolve like never before. Luckily, Ed isn’t one to back down easily!
In this odd world full of wonders and dangers, one thing is for sure — an alchemist’s life is never boring.
Next to demons that are able to regrow limbs and space-bending Walkers, a new threat has emerged — the shapeshifters, whose appearance can mimic anyone.
This unprecedented threat on a national scale provides the alchemist with a new mission. First, survive when they try to kill you, and then arm the empire with the means to fight against this menace.
Difficult choices lie ahead. Demons, Walkers, and now the shapeshifters change the balance. But the appearance of the Emperor’s new ally, an alchemist who can work miracles, shifts the rules of the game as well. This information has leaked to foreign intelligence, meaning the stakes have risen, and the time has come for Ed to make a choice. Will he stay by the Emperor’s side, or go his own way?
On top of everything, a new school year is starting, and the heart longs for romance. Perhaps it’s finally time for Ed to sort out his personal life, too.
Being a student seems simple all you have to do is study diligently and pass the exams.
But what if you’ve arrived from another world, looking for a fresh start, only to be met with one challenge after another? Trouble seems to wait for Ed at every corner. He has to negotiate with authorities, integrate into society, and find the time to grow stronger.
Also, he has to think about his and the future of his family. As an alchemist, he has the potential to change the world, but only if he can navigate conflicts and claim his right to a normal life.
And life doesn’t wait. Graduation nears and his personal life takes an exciting turn with an upcoming wedding.
Yet enemies don’t forget. Tricks and schemes lie ahead, threatening to disrupt even his happiest moments and ruin his honeymoon.
With wit, resilience, and a touch of alchemy, Ed faces it all head-on. After all, survival isn’t just about getting by, it’s about thriving against all odds.
The more the alchemist throws himself into society, the more entangled he becomes. Influence brings more challenges, challenges bring enemies, and before long even murderers are wandering into his house, putting his loved ones in danger. The protections he so carefully arranged proved useless. Someone has found a way not just to slip past them, but to prod at the very fabric of his craft.
And that means he needs to get back to work. New research, fresh artifacts, stronger defenses.
Facing the challenges that the enemies throw at him will require all his efforts. Especially when there’s not just one enemy, but an entire organization playing against him. Every time he removes one piece from the chess board, another unexpectedly pops up to take its place.
Still, war doesn’t mean there’s no room for a little creation. Why wouldn’t he aim for something grandiose? Founding his own city sounds about right. A shining hub for the alchemy of tomorrow. The Emperor has signed off on that idea, and even give him a piece of land that no one else wants. After all, what looks like wasteland to others is a treasure trove to an alchemist.
If only he could find the time for it... That is one resource he seems to constantly be lacking. Enemies are always plotting, a new kind of gifted has appeared in the world causing a stir, and countless other challenges are queuing up just around the corner.
The young alchemist will have to fight for the right to live in peace.
The quiet life of a man who escaped a dying world is always going to be hit or miss. One day something good happens. The next, trouble drops in uninvited.
Now, our alchemist is drawing too much attention. Unusual powers will do that. They let you bend the rules, shift the balance of power, open doors that others would rather keep closed. Whether he wants it or not, every new opportunity comes with a price.
But Ed isn’t easy to corner. He has survived what no one else could. If there’s one thing he does well, it is adapting. He’ll always find a way to protect what is his and defend his right to keep breathing.
Alchemy opens many paths. In a world where the gifted hold all the power, it makes sense to learn from the best or go another way entirely. The royal family certainly wouldn’t mind if he took charge of the portal project.
Alchemy, after all, is about creation. With the right tools and a sharp mind, everything can be done. And now that he has a family, there are more reasons than ever to get to work. Big projects mean a better future for all of them.
First, though, he’ll have to avoid getting caught in the middle of someone else’s intrigue.
In his world, he was the last remaining alchemist, one of the few survivors living amidst the ruins of a once-great civilization. Refusing to give up on life, but seeing that nothing could save his home, he challenged himself to find a way out of such an inhospitable place.
After years of dedicated research, he devised a ritual to transport himself to another world. But the outcome was far from anticipated. Instead of mere displacement, he underwent a rebirth.
He ended up in a new body, a new world, surrounded by new threats lurking around every corner. And they primarily manifested themselves in the form of other people. Aristocrats of the ancient empire who fight for supremacy, demons capable of healing the most terrible wounds, and Walkers who have the ability to teleport anywhere they wished.
But a true master of alchemy does not allow himself to be perturbed. Edgar’s intelligence, skill, and alchemic knowledge are still with him, and the one who has once accomplished the impossible won’t go down without a fight, regardless of the circumstances.
The ritual proved successful, granting Ed a miraculous escape from a dying world and an opportunity to start a new life. What he did not expect was that this vibrant new world would be filled with dangers waiting around every corner.
Barely giving him any time to adjust, fate dealt its cruel hand once more. Ed lost his family and landed in the clutches of their enemies. But could this really discourage a talented alchemist, who has already accomplished the impossible once before?
Having escaped, Ed got another chance at a normal life. He has to start from scratch, but this wouldn’t pose a problem for someone who consistently defied the odds.
Ahead of him lies a new life in the capital, new friends and enemies, and a struggle to maintain his freedom. The abilities of a true alchemist are too powerful to escape the watchful eye of the authorities.
Will Ed be able to deal with the challenges, find balance, and finally live a normal life?
