In Jesperia, things are uneasy. The necromancer teacher Jagg is busy enough creating homunculi on order, but now his irresponsible student is trying to summon a devil in the basement of the laboratory—only instead of unclean spirits he transported a creature from another world, and it’s far from pleased with the sudden move. And on top of that, the accursed ones are pressing in, asking him to create a basilisk as soon as possible, while gargoyles demand food. It’s not easy to be an alchemist these days… what else can be said?
