A two–hundred–year–long nap has left Mariela the only alchemist in town–except that’s a secret she definitely won’t be sharing. In order to hide her true origins, she’s going undercover as a chemist in the hopes of staying off the radar. While preparing to obtain her guild license and eventually open her own apothecary, Mariela begins to connect with residents of the Labyrinth City. Slowly but steadily, it starts to feel more like home…Is her dream of a quiet life finally within reach?

The mystery behind the Aguinas family and their potion stockpile deepens following the mission to rescue Dr. Nierenberg’s daughter from Robert’s blackmail attempt. But his escape complicates matters, drawing Mariela that much closer to the royal family and the prying eyes she’d so desperately worked to avoid. With potions running low and a seemingly endless labyrinth still before them- how much longer can Mariela keep her alchemical abilities secret...?

KILL THE LABYRINTH Such has been the driving principle for all who have lived in the Labyrinth City since its founding. Little time remains to stop the boss at the bottom of the subterranean maze from reaching the ley line. Mariela’s powerful potions keep Sieg, Leonhardt, and the Forces alive as they charge toward the final stratum, while Freyja holds back an endless army of undead on her own. Every man, woman, and child in the City answers the call to the final battle, but can they truly survive a stampede?

LOST IN A WORLD OF WATER A year has passed since the Labyrinth was killed, but it seems Sieg still hasn’t been able to take that next step in his relationship with Mariela. Far from it, he ends up upsetting her, and she runs away from home with the Black Iron Freight Corps! While traveling through the Fell Forest, Mariela’s group encounters a mysterious shrine in a gloomy bog. After passing through the structure’s doorway, Mariela awakens in a tower that appears to be underwater. She and her comrades will have to unravel the mystery of this place if they hope to get home. Could this fantastical realm have something to do with Mariela’s missing master?

Everyone has their secrets... Teen alchemist Mariela’s new life in the Labyrinth City is going swimmingly so far: She’s purchased a home of her own, opened an apothecary, and befriended people from all walks of life, starting with a former penal laborer named Sieg. Only a select few know she’s one of the last remaining alchemists, but that secret’s proving harder and harder to keep under wraps… Between a startling discovery about the fearsome Labyrinth and the emergence of a powerful family of potion researchers, a quiet city life is easier said than done!

There is no going back—only moving forward The Labyrinth’s subjugation is close at hand, and the city’s chemists are more knowledgeable than ever before. All of this could be credited to the efforts of a certain alchemist, puttering around in her little atelier. As Mariela works her magic on the city, those around her begin to confront change: Sieg is honing his combat skills to become an A¯Rank adventurer, while Lynx is starting to come to terms with his feelings for Mariela. And even though no one promised that these carefree days would last forever, Mariela has never once thought to question it, basking in the warmth of her favorite people at Sunlight’s Canopy…

Behind every great alchemist is…an alcoholic teacher? A friend has paid the ultimate price to protect Mariela and has returned to the ley line. As the survivors deal with the fallout of losing someone dear, a crimson–haired woman awakens after two hundred years of slumber and starts making a show of some incredibly powerful magic. This so–called Sage of Calamity has Mariela crafting potions like never before. Not everyone is so eager for all the new changes that brings to the Labyrinth City, however. The young alchemist will have to watch her back—she just may end up kidnapped!

Mariela is the last alchemist alive after waking from a deep sleep that lasted two hundred years. As the sole alchemist in town, she could make a killing by brewing and selling potions…but after two hundred years of suspended animation, all she wants to do is relax, take things easy, and live at her own pace!

A girl out of time, a fish out of water Alchemists used to be a dime a dozen in the Kingdom of Endalsia, so Mariela was never particularly special. But her skills were put to the test one fateful day when a horde of monsters came stampeding from the nearby forest. In a desperate attempt to escape the horror, the young alchemist put herself in a state of suspended animation that lasted just a little longer than she’d planned—an entire two hundred years! Needless to say, there have been some big changes, and biggest of all: Mariela is now the sole alchemist in the entire kingdom. Her one wish in this strange new environment is to get back her quiet, leisurely, low-key lifestyle!

When a stampeding horde of monsters threatened to destroy the world, Mariela the Alchemist would go on to survive. At the advice of her master, she placed herself in a state of suspended animation and awoke unaged and unharmed—two hundred years in the future! Alchemy is now a lost art, and potions have become scarce. As the last remaining alchemist, Mariela just wants a quiet life. But while she and her newfound allies work to carve out a slice of home for themselves in the Kingdom of Endalsia, keeping a low profile is harder than she thought.
