The Alchemist 5
In this odd world full of wonders and dangers, one thing is for sure—an alchemist's life is never boring.
Next to demons that are able to regrow limbs and space-bending Walkers, a new threat has emerged—the shapeshifters, whose appearance can mimic anyone.
This unprecedented threat on a national scale provides the alchemist with a new mission. First, survive when they try to kill you, and then arm the empire with the means to fight against this menace.
Difficult choices lie ahead. Demons, Walkers, and now the shapeshifters change the balance. But the appearance of the Emperor's new ally, an alchemist who can work miracles, shifts the rules of the game as well. This information has been leaked to foreign intelligence, meaning the stakes have risen, and the time has come for Ed to make a choice. Will he stay by the Emperor's side or go his own way?
On top of everything, a new school year is starting, and the heart longs for romance. Perhaps it's finally time for Ed to sort out his personal life, too.

Roman Romanovich
In the ever-expanding realms of GameLit and progression fantasy, Roman Romanovich carves out a space that feels both refreshingly grounded and endlessly imaginative. His worlds don’t just challenge the laws of magic—they probe the limits of identity, resilience, and transformation. It’s not surprising, perhaps, when you learn that before penning more than seventy books, Romanovich spent years studying the human psyche as a practicing psychologist. That depth—of understanding people, their inner storms, and quiet triumphs—echoes through every protagonist he builds.
The Alchemist
In a world where knowledge is as dangerous as any blade, one man dares to shape his fate through the forbidden art of alchemy—not with brute force, but with intellect, resolve, and a relentless thirst for truth.
This is not the story of a chosen hero or a warrior born to greatness. At its core, The Alchemist series follows a quiet, unassuming scholar who walks into a world governed by violence and hierarchy, determined to challenge it with nothing but his mind. He doesn’t start with strength. He doesn’t even start with hope. What he does have is a dangerous curiosity—and the will to learn, no matter the cost.
The Alchemist consists of six books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
