I hated alchemy even in my previous life.
Trust me, there was a reason.
From childhood I was taught to kill alchemists and destroy their dangerous magic. But fate got involved. Or maybe Ironic Fate—I don’t know.
I was reborn as an alchemist—just like that.
But as my teacher-monk used to say: “In the universe, there are no meaningless events.”
So I suddenly had completely different plans for alchemy. All that was needed was to add a little mercury to the mix, bring it to a boil, and… Oops! The shelves—caw-gooo—collapsed!
