The deeper the alchemist delves into society, the more entangled in its intrigues he becomes.
Influence brings more enemies, and now even assassins come knocking on his door. 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, unique artifacts, and stronger defenses. Facing the challenges that the enemies throw at him will require all of his efforts. Especially when there's not just one enemy, but an entire organization united against him. Every time he removes one piece from the chess board, another unexpectedly pops up to take its place. Despite all the danger, he still has his own ambitions. Founding his own city, a shining hub for the alchemy of tomorrow. Even the Emperor agreed to it, gifting him land. If only he had more time to focus on 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. The young alchemist will have to fight for the right to live in peace.
