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.

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, in a new world, surrounded by new threats lurking around every corner.

Was soll man tun, wenn sich die ganze Welt gegen einen verschworen hat? Aufgeben, in irgendein Loch kriechen und die Feinde anbetteln, das eigene Leben zu verschonen? So offensichtlich die Antwort auf diese Frage auch sein mag - schon manch Erwachsener war an den Klippen zerschellt, die der zwölfjährige Tailyn Vlashich jetzt zu erklimmen hatte. Vor ihm lag ein geheimes Labor, das einst den Ancients gehörte, während an seinen Fersen eine ganze Horde hing, die von seinem Erzfeind angeführt wurde.

As a guild bartender, I can handle pretty much anything - mages, sorcerers, witches, the occasional demon. But show me anything family-related and I'd rather run for the hills. It doesn't even have to be my family. So I have no idea why I thought spending the holidays with Aaron's mom and pop was a good idea. Meeting his famous parents is already terrifying enough, but I've got a bigger problem. Students of his family's renowned mage academy are being attacked on the grounds - and somehow no one has seen a single assailant?

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.

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?

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?

Being a student seems simple enough: 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.

Ed is living life to the fullest. Having been given a second chance, he's determined to seize every opportunity. The freshman year at the Lyceum has ended, and a much-anticipated vacation has finally started. Tempting offers from classmates promise a dream of a perfect summer filled with relaxation and seaside adventures. However, Ed still has work to do.
