Description

Heard of the Philosopher’s Stone? I once scattered it in the garden paths. I was the strongest alchemist—but in my last potion I turned my own body into a weapon against the Corruption that was threatening to wipe out all living things. By the will of the gods or the whim of fate, I didn’t die—I woke up in the body of a failed laboratory assistant in a world where alchemy is forbidden. Yesterday’s colleagues have sunk into outright charlatanry; the Corruption spreads everywhere; and everyone is run by pharmaceutical corporations for whom profit matters more than human lives. But I’m here now—and with me are the knowledge and skills of the Supreme Master of Alchemy. That means I’ll do what I love again, and I’ll prove it: an alchemist is not a trade. It’s a way of living.
