Me! The Strongest Alchemist!

Chapter 1: Creator’s Alchemy Platform

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Deep in the Gloom Forest, a magnificent tower that reached into the clouds sat in the middle of the forest. If a mathematician or architect were nearby, they would be shocked. From the outside, this tower was at least hundreds of meters long.

Furthermore, there were large numbers of rune turrets around the Alchemy Tower. It was not impressive at all.

There was no doubt that anyone who trespassed this place would be blasted into pieces by the energy contained in the rune turret.

But today, hundreds of heavily-armored knights and hundreds of imperial sorcerers appeared around the rune turrets and surrounded the Alchemy Tower.

Among the thousands of people, the leader was Karl, who was leading this operation. Karl was the famous Knight Chief of the Storm Empire. As the younger generation, Karl had obtained the recognition of the royal family of the Storm Empire at the age of 25 and became the Knight Chief of the royal family. His reputation in the empire could be said to be like the sun in the midday sky. To let Karl lead this operation, it could be seen how frustrated the empire was and how much emphasis they had placed on this operation.

At this moment, in the middle of the Alchemy Tower…

To:?

Oh, my adorable Mas, when you read this letter, I was already far away from home. I don’t have much time left. I’m very sorry, my dear student. There’s no need to be surprised or sad. In fact, I was the one who escaped punishment.

In fact, strictly speaking, I am not a good teacher. In the two months I spent with you, I did not teach you any practical alchemy.

This Alchemy Tower doesn’t belong to me. I used to be an apprentice alchemist. Yes, as you can see, no one would believe that I’m a 60-year-old apprentice alchemist, right? I did some odd jobs under the original owner of this Alchemy Tower, day after day. However, the owner of this Alchemy Tower never came back after going out again. As an apprentice alchemist who has worked for 30 years, it’s only natural that I would be greedy and impersonate the owner of this Alchemy Tower to inherit this magnificent Alchemy Tower.

A month ago, the royal family of the Storm Empire found me and said that they would give me a large sum of gold coins as a reward. They wanted me to help them refine some low-level alchemical soldiers to help them. They were very eager to defeat the hypocritical pope empire.

I created an inferior product based on the alchemy notes left behind by my original master, which is a product that cannot withstand a single blow. I wasn’t young anymore, so I planned to make a fortune out of the royal family of the Storm Empire and run away, but I never expected to be exposed so quickly!

Remember! The rune turrets outside the Alchemy Tower had long been emptied by me. They were all empty shells that looked good but are useless. In the few years that I had inherited the Alchemy Tower, I did not have a stable source of income to support me in fulfilling my great alchemy dream. I had long exchanged the core skills of the rune turrets for gold coins!

When you see this letter, I might have already died. The gold coins that I extorted from the royal family of the Storm Empire and the wealth that I had accumulated in my life were all placed in the magic box on the top of the tower. The password is your birthday, 1213. Although you have only followed me for two months, I know that you are very hardworking, very talented, and extremely fond of alchemy. Take that money and quickly leave this place. A genius like you should not be confined to such a small place. I hope that you can spread your wings and soar, and I hope that you will become a great alchemist whose name will shake the world in the future!

Signing off,?

Swoks Ryan.

Mas’s brain was really a little muddled.

Two months ago, Mas had transmigrated to this world. He was still a starving farmer from the Storm Empire. He was seen by Master Swoks when he entered the city. Seeing how pitiful he looked, Swoks took him in as a servant and left him in the Alchemy Tower.

By chance, Master Swoks found out that Mas had skills in alchemy and Mas naturally became Master Swoks’ personal disciple.

According to the memories that Mas had inherited, this world was very similar to the medieval Europe of his previous life, though it was not exactly the same. This world possessed extraordinary powers that the Earth of his previous life did not possess—mages, heavy cavalry, musketeers, goblins, dwarves, dragons, etc…

Alchemists were one of the great supernatural powers in this world. The legendary divine alchemist could even summon the ancient crystal dragon that had been extinct since ancient times!

At that time, Mas swore that he would work hard and study alchemy after experiencing the hardships of farmers. He would follow his teacher Swoks and become a famous great alchemist.

However, he never expected that his life was going in the same direction as the novels in his previous life. Everything was progressing in a beautiful direction. He never expected that his trusted master was actually an imposter, and his skills was similar to his own. He was just an apprentice alchemist!

Just two hours ago, he had discovered a group of people from the Storm Empire at the entrance of the Gloom Forest from the investigation guards of the Alchemy Tower. It seemed that they had come to settle scores with his teacher, Swoks Ryan, for that batch of inferior alchemical soldiers. Swoks had long predicted this day, so he had packed up his luggage and fled, leaving such a mess for himself.

This was practically forcing him to his death. Where could he get such a large number of alchemy soldiers? Not only was he clueless about how to make them, he did not even have time to purchase the basic materials.

Moreover, the one in front of them was the Storm Empire. As one of the seven great human nations, the Storm Empire was most famous for its heavy cavalry. It was a great killing weapon when combined with magic on the battlefield. Not to mention the thousands of cavalry, even the palace mages who had lost their rune turrets would not be able to stop their attack.

Judging from the situation, it was probably impossible for him to return the gold coins to the soldiers outside, because his teacher, Swoks, had spent most of the gold coins to research on his new alchemy project. Considering Swoks’ standard, most of the materials were probably wasted.

Furthermore, this guy had emptied the rune turret. If the knights and mages of the Storm Empire outside discovered that this was a “paper tiger”, he would probably be torn into pieces along with the Alchemy Tower.

Moreover, the original owner of the matter, Swoks, had already run away. He might have already died from illness on the way. As Swoks’ personal disciple, he would most likely be captured and brought back to vent his anger on the king. Once he was brought back to the capital city of the Storm Empire like that, he would probably beg for death.

After swindling such a huge sum of money, it was already considered a light punishment to hang himself to death. He was only afraid of being dismembered by a thousand cuts and being dismembered by a horse. Just the thought of it was terrifying.

At the thought of this, Mas felt his blood run cold and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

Glancing at the envelope Swoks had left behind, Mas grimaced.

In the two months that he had been here, it would have been fine if he had not learned anything. But now, he might even lose his life.

“Master Swoks, what do you want me to say? We were once master and disciple. Why did you have to trick me like this before you ran away?” Mas wanted to cry.

There was only one entrance to this magnificent Alchemy Tower, and that was the lowest level. It was protected by the alchemy door and the rune turret. Although the alchemy door required the correct rune password to enter, it was at most a solid door. If the other party continued to forcefully destroy it, it would still shatter.

If this dragged on, he still would not be able to escape the fate of becoming Swoks’ scapegoat.

[God-grade Alchemist System activated]

[Everything in the world is tied to karma, but the ancient and great lost alchemy can change the stars and moon and change the karma of all things in reincarnation.]

[Obtained Creator’s Alchemy Platform]

[Obtain a portable alchemy space. You can store any dead object into the alchemy space.]

In the next moment, a large golden alchemy platform appeared out of thin air in front of Mas.

This pure alchemy platform that appeared out of thin air was neither big nor small. It occupied an area of 10m*10m, and strange words that he could not understand were carved on the platform. This was not the language of any country in the Storm Continent or the Pope. As for whether it was the language of the other five countries, he would have to slowly explore it in the future.

Mas slowly reached out his right hand to touch the alchemy platform. The moment he touched it, all the information regarding the masters of Creator’s Alchemy Platform appeared in his mind.

[Level-one Creator’s Alchemy Platform can automatically refine any material on the platform. It can store up to five alchemy materials of no more than a total of 20 stars.]

When Mas heard the emotionless system prompt in his brain, he was overjoyed. Great! With this system, he would definitely be able to survive this crisis!
