PLOT:
Mariela lived in a prosperous city full of magic. Under the tutelage of her master, she was well on her way to becoming a great alchemist. Then the city fell to a wave of monsters, and Mariela puts herself in magical suspended animation to save herself. She awakens 200 years to a drastically altered world. The city she knew is gone, with its descendants scraping by within the walled center fortification. Monsters are a constant threat and alchemy is all but extinct, which makes Mariela's potion-making skills incredibly valuable. With nothing but her skills and an injured slave to help her, Mariela sets forth to understand this era and maybe make enough coin to keep herself comfortable.
