The Fake Alchemist

ニセモノの錬金術師

Nisemono no Renkinjutsushi

“Master, please save me!” The desperate cry echoes across a grim fantasy world. A young man has been spirited away from his former life, while a young woman has been torn from her home and put on the auction block. Without any combat abilities, survival is brutal—and for a slave, it’s even crueler. But with alchemy, a stubborn can-do spirit, and enough patient analysis, Paracelsus and Nora just might carve out a future together.
