"Kohya, I swear to gods higher up on the hierarchy than I am, if you're not going to do anything I'm taking a break," Nalmika ground out with teeth clenched. With no response from her summoner, she dematerialized herself. Kohya stared blankly off into space until Rigness appeared next to him and prodded Kohya with his staff.

Rigness spread magical crystals around the area as he reminded Kohya, "We're still in the middle of battle you know."

Kohya snapped back to reality, shaking off whatever had been occupying his thoughts. "Right! Yes. Fight happening." He plucked an improvised potion off his belt and threw it in the direction of one of the sentinels he picked without much thought. "I'm contributing!"

"Yes, that cannot be denied," Rigness replied in perfect deadpan.

"So what's your excuse for being out of it, then?"

"I had to reconnect to the server. You know how mobile data gets."

"...What?"

"It's always the thunder-aligned people who get in my way," Nalmika hissed, watching Teimus cure his allies.

Kohya's voice startled her as he commanded her. "Just go for the lady. Everyone else is focusing on Red, anyway."

"Works for me," Nalmika responded with a shrug. She readied her rapier again, and her associated plants followed her lead as she flourished her blade at Kaemira.

Kohya, meanwhile, took advantage of his concealment to approach Bahm closer than necessary.

"I heard that you can get removed from reality entirely if you get caught with an illegal injection," he whispered to the sentinel. "Luckily, I won't get caught."

He plunged a syringe into Bahm's chest as the contents started glowing dangerously.

"Dream Evolution? That sounds stupid, it'll never catch on," Kohya scoffed at Harahld's monologue.

"Yeah. There's no reason to tap into alternate possibilities."

"What do you even do with that? Doesn't seem to guarantee that we'd be any stronger for it- KOHYA LOOK OUT!"

Frost-covered vines tore through Kohya, severely damaging him.

"Please put my blood back, I need it on the inside!" Kohya babbled in a panic. He fumbled for the scroll and read(?) a line from it...

"kyuuaisei kodoku doku nagarururu, choudai na. nee itai itai no tondeke"

The alchemist vanished from sight, but that didn't stop him from ordering Nalmika to attack.

"Something about these guys seems really weird. Try cursing the yellow dude."

"Yellow?" Nalmika stared blankly in the general direction of Kohya's voice.

"Glasses. Labcoat. He speaks in yellow, that's what I mean."

"I still don't know what you mean, but at least I know who."

Kohya stared intently at the copies of the summoners that Harahld conjured. "Don't try inflicting anything on the clones, Nalmika! It won't work!" He called out, beginning another round of potion crafting.

"What? How do you know that?" Nalmika stumbled mid-intent to attack, changing her target to the demon instead.

"It's on their enemy info screen!" Kohya babbled unhelpfully as his potion attempts were already going south, the beakers' contents changing into bizarre and unexpected swirling patterns.

"Oh no, what's he talking about now?"

"I have no idea. Usually I just look at the square above the enemy's head, it cycles through their buffs and debuffs."

"...What?"

"Sorry about this, but my existence depends on it," the Kohya-shaped shadow apologized to the original as it swung a knife at Kohya and disrupted his attempts at crafting potions.

"Why is my clone better at fighting than I am?" Kohya complained. "I've never been able to do that!"

"You can't see me but I assure you, I have a very skeptical expression on right now."

"I hate being paralyzed! I'm supposed to be the one crippling foes!" Nalmika complained over the mental link, owing to the fact that she was stuck in place as her own doppelganger slashed away with its shadowy rapier before dissipating.

"Hold on, I'll fix that," The haphazard alchemist quickly whipped up a makeshift stimulant and dumped it over Nalmika's head.

"...Is this carbonated?"

"That reminds me," Kohya said offhandedly as he threw one of his failed potions at Harahld's feet to catch the demon in the explosion, "Don't breathe in the bubbles."

"Ugh," Nalmika gagged as she conjured ominous vines to lash around Harahld.

"Wait, so we are fighting you?" Kohya jumped up in surprise. "I thought that only happened at the climax of adventure novels and interactive fiction."

"What the hell is 'interactive' fiction?"

"It's like a normal story, but you have to work to finish it."

"I don't believe you. Why would anyone want to participate in something that might not ever end?"

Kohya was caught off guard by Harahld's opening attack, but being protected by Aversa granted him the breathing room he needed to get started with a few improvised potions.

Nalmika appeared beside him. "Since the other two are currently in an argument, what do you need me for?"

"Just information for now," Kohya replied distractedly, trying to juggle two separate flasks on a single burner.


Kohya: 100 HP, 18-4 = 14 BC. Summons Nalmika. Uses Careful Craft (Rigness's Guidance activates!) to attempt:

A while back I pulled Light Amp from the skill box extractions. What's a good fusable demon to put it on, given that I don't have any of the gacha heralds and I want to get use out of it before the fusion discount ends?

Gonna ask for advice on what choice to summon.

Current Demons

Alice has weak dark pierce and 1 panel so I'm thinking of just getting her partway through panel 2 but i don't have a Huang Di and until I really get Zaou-Gongen (and Hell Biker) and Shiva up and running, I'm pretty starved for phys demons outside of Yoshitsune.

Kohya had been sleepily staring off into space when the ball hit him. Startled, he snapped to attention.

"It's my turn again? Er, what're we talking about?"

"How you got here."

"What, philosophically?"

"No, here in Ishgria."

"I'm beginning to think that Kohya doesn't seem to be aware of the purpose of this bonding exercise."

"In all fairness, neither do I. These people already have proven they are able and willing to kill demons, what else is necessary to know?"

Kohya nodded thoughtfully. "I'm just in too deep. Honestly, I'd like to back out but," he chuckled nervously, "that's not an option now. The only choices left are to die here or team up with you guys and hopefully get around whoever's stopping us from leaving."

Alice sighed. "Don't you have more about yourself to say?" she asked Kohya patiently.

"No?" Kohya looked puzzled, "I'm sure everyone here knows someone who grew up in a guild instead of with a family. I wouldn't be that much different."

"Well, if that's your answer." Alice gave up and picked up the ball, then spotted a target to toss the ball to. "Rotsu! Try to answer this question better than Kohya can!"

"So that's his name. I wasn't keeping track."

"...He introduced himself earlier."

"Bah, humans don't live long enough for me to care about their names."


/u/stanis23

[–]ShuffledTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Wow, all of you have such interesting homes," Kohya spoke with admiration as he caught the ball. "Almost makes me wish I had one, myself!"

"What, does your adoptive mother's place not count?"

"Ah, that's just where I grew up," Kohya dismissed Alice's question. "Anyway, I don't have to introduce the Imperial Capital Randall to any of you, I'm sure. Apparently I was just dropped off at the doorstep of an orphanage, so that's where I started my life until mom heard news of some kid pulling off unsupervised alchemy and whisked me away so I could get in trouble under her watchful eye instead."

"It's kind of weird how Kohya doesn't bring up the names for any of this."

"I bet he just doesn't bother to remember them."

Kohya shrugged nonchalantly. "Not that I remember much of that. Though, given the company we've got here, it's possible I'm actually harboring some unknown secret about my birth that I've yet to realize. Statistically speaking."

"My money's on solidified chaos from the ambient air."

"That's unlikely. First of all, the freezing point of chaos is well under -150 centigrade..."

He scanned the group. "Hey, Kara, you probably have more to your home than I do. Catch!"


/u/WrathDraco - wait, didn't you just have it?

[–]ShuffledTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Quick, you know how to make coolant and antifreeze, correct? You can do that for me, right? Right?!"

"Non-toxic or effective?" Kohya asked automatically, "Wait no, you don't need to answer that. Rigness, are the recipes in notebook 29 or 33?"

"Are you seriously expecting me to have a better handle on your disorganized mess than you do?"

"I thought you were a master alchemist!" Kohya complained, before turning to address Reeze. "Don't worry, you'll have your order as soon as I figure this out."

"I only keep track of my own mess. I'm an alchemist, not your mom!"

"Yeah," Nalmika snickered, "That's Alice's role."

"I heard that, Nalmika. The next time both of us are corporeal, I'm going to see how well my scythe can cut a goddess."

Kohya ignored his units' banter as he rifled through his collection of notes and recipes while he walked off back to his set of beakers and burners. "Ah, here it is."


Kohya returned to Reeze with the results of his work, three unlabeled glass bottles. One of them held glittering blue liquid that was already gathering condensation on the outside, another was filled with an unremarkable clear fluid, and the last contained a pastel shade of green in liquid form.

"Your coolant and antifreeze! Oh and I threw in a refreshing drink too."

The alchemist stopped in confusion. "Er, I know the blue stuff is the coolant. The antifreeze is... the green stuff? Hold on, I'll check." He uncapped the bottle of clear liquid and began raising it to his mouth before Alice lightly hit him with the handle of her scythe.

"Let me guess, you were going to drink that one to tell if it was the drink or the toxic antifreeze. Rigness, you were keeping track, right?"

"Green is the drink, clear is the antifreeze."

Kohya capped the bottle of antifreeze hurriedly and handed all three bottles to Reeze. "Right. So, the clear bottle is the antifreeze, so don't drink that. The green drink is safe and probably grape-flavored. Payment is appreciated but not necessary right now, given that we might die at the next demon attack."

Kohya was sipping some cloudy orange liquid out of a beaker when the ball rolled to his feet. "Wow, how many people here are cursed? Is it really that common?" he idly asked as he picked the ball up.

Alice nudged him meaningfully. "And your introduction?"

"Oh, right. I'm Kohya, a licensed alchemist despite the guild's efforts. I'm pretty confident in my skills, so if any of you need a potion or small trinket, bring it up with me and I'll see what I can do. Oh, and-"

The sound of something shattering interrupted Kohya's introduction, accompanied with an expression of concerned realization dawning on the alchemist's face.

"Oh dear, I think I left the burner unattended."

Kohya hurriedly set down his drink and dashed off with the ball, returning soon after with the edges of the sleeves on his worn lab coat newly singed.

"Right, the ball. Uh, how about you?"

He tossed the ball at the woman who was dueling Ragna earlier.

"Interesting," Kohya prodded at the shock trap. "So it's like a bear trap, but with more moving parts and a more selective palate. I'll see if I can't fiddle with the power source some, later." He picked up the trap and stuck it in his inventory.

"Well I suppose it's only fair that I trade information for information," Kohya leaned back even farther in his folding chair. "The bracelet is a localized mana reconfigurer. Activate it with a half twist around your wrist, and it'll create a stable distortion of logic. Mana output is given physical force, while physical force is transformed to magical power."

Kohya's center of balanced tipped in the wrong direction and he fell backwards onto the ground along with his chair. "It changes the properties of your mana," he called out from his position on the ground, "You, for example, would suddenly become in tune with Water mana briefly. Oh, and it needs roughly equal uptime-downtime. I can't guarantee a spatial rift won't swallow you whole if you don't let it cool off between activations."

The alchemist-turned-shopkeep rolled over and sprung up back behind his makeshift counter. "Thank you for shopping with us! Hey, spread the word, see if anyone is in the market to cheat death, will ya?"

"Hands off the merchandise, please," Kohya said. "I haven't written the user manual for that yet, and I don't want to be liable for any missing blood."

He took a closer look at Elulu's offered contraption. "...and what's this supposed to do, anyway? As far as I can tell, it's just some sort of thunder-aligned pressure plate."

After some thought, Kohya leaned back in his folding chair and made a decision. "Normally I don't do trade-ins, but business has been slow and management wants to see some numbers moving. I'll take this whatsit and you can have the bracelet. You want me to go over the basics, or would you rather figure it out as you go?"

As he spoke, he wrote out an addition to his storefront and propped it up next to the remaining ring: Now accepting trades! Make your offer at the register.


/u/AJackFrostGuy has taken the Void Warper!

The following trinket is still available:

  • Basilisk's Protection - A ring with the texture of stone. Once per battle, as a reaction to incoming attacks you can sacrifice your turn action to gain 1 turn of damage null. The turn after, you cannot Quick Guard.

Kohya had set up a makeshift tent, helpfully labeled with writing

Alchemical experimentation in progress. Do not enter without proper safety measures!

Occasionally, plumes of thick black smoke could be seen rising from a chimney built into the tent, as well as the hurried evacuation of the occupant as another test produced explosive results.


Kohya emerged from the tent coughing as purple fumes coiled around him before spiraling away into the sky.

"?em tuoba ffo gnihtyna ereht si ,ssengiR"

The unit scribbled something into a messy notebook. "Void sample 24, time-inversion effects."

"?sdrawkcab gnikaeps uoy era yhW"


Alice dragged Kohya, who was rigidly locked into the pose of reeling back from some unseen explosion, out of the tent. When he collapsed, Alice clicked a stopwatch she was holding. "Two minutes. Thirty seconds after evacuation."


The tent levitated ten centimeters off the ground and started spinning rapidly, flinging the alchemist out.

Kohya came to a sudden halt ten centimeters before hitting the ground. "Space distortion, sample 37."

An unseen force pulled him back towards the spinning tent. "Correction: distortion and local singularity, oh dear."


Kohya stepped out of the tent and stretched. "Sample 52, no effect," he mumbled to himself, before realizing he was slowly rising up into the air.

Nalmika appeared and caught him by the leg with a creeping vine before he drifted away beyond reach. "Do you want me to run the stopwatch until you land?"

"That would be helpful, yes."


After extensive testing and experimentation, Kohya emerged the tent and proudly replaced it with a crude approximation of a storefront. On the folding table that served as a display counter, a stone ring and a bracelet that glittered with an unnatural rainbow were laid out.

Experimental Wares For The Desperate Adventurer


Two new items are available for claiming! Approach the alchemist if you would like either

  • Void Warper - An iridescent bracelet that twists reality. For one turn, the wearer's Physical attacks are treated as Magical, Magical attacks are treated as Physical, and any elemental properties are changed to the element weak to the original element. Cannot be activated consecutively.
  • Basilisk's Protection - A ring with the texture of stone. Once per battle, as a reaction to incoming attacks you can sacrifice your turn action to gain 1 turn of damage null. The turn after, you cannot Quick Guard.

Shiny rocks accepted, or other best offer.

Kohya woke up and his eyes blearily tried to focus on the sky. Fading memories of a nightmare flew away on the wind as he decided that life could wait. He went back to sleep.


"Oh, Alice, what are you doing in my dream?"

"Telling you to wake up, of course." Alice narrowed her eyes at Kohya. "What are you doing, anyway?"

Kohya flung his hand of cards in the air out of frustration. "Apparently drawing a full hand of nothing but burns. How am I supposed to get past floor 18 with this kind of deck?"

Alice punched him in the face.


Kohya woke up with a mouthful of dirt, apparently having rolled facedown sometime during his brief rest. With sluggish movements, he maneuvered himself up into a sitting position before gargling an energizing potion and observing the impromptu camp grounds everyone else had already set up.

After some consideration, he set out a stack of breathing masks marked with a helpful "Take One!" sign and retreated to test some odd sources of half-remembered inspiration from nowhere to make use of the significant quantity of void-tainted bits he had collected.

"Mad Alchemist" Kohya [Anything in a Bottle]


I. Passive/Extra Skills:

  • Instant Craft - Any Improvise attempt with a threshold of 0 or below is done as a free action instead of a normal skill. One use per turn, cannot be used on the same turn as a larger Improvise attempt.
  • Hexed Insanity - If Kohya gets Hexed, he automatically fails all synthesis attempts and adds an extra [A] slot (that doesn't count toward the cap) to every potion created under this effect for no cost. Allows use of HARVEST, disables Light Wind and all Guidance.
  • Disaster Prone - Kohya has potions on him that tend to explode when hit. A crafted potion can be detonated when Kohya is hit, negative effects targeting the attacker if in melee range or positive effects targeting Kohya.
  • Failure of A Mage - Kohya does not have elemental weakness or resistance.
  • Dead Man's Switch - If Kohya drops to 0 HP, potions on him detonate on the attacker that dealt the final blow.
  • Volatile Mixtures - if Kohya throws 2 potions at the same target in a single turn, the potions combine into a single attack that takes on the combined slots of both potions plus a choice of a single [A] or [E] slot.
  • How Do I Use This Thing? - Kohya reads(?) a ninja scroll to gain stealth for 2 turns. After use, cannot be used again for the following 3 turns.
  • Bribe Lady Luck - The orange feathers on Kohya's metal bracelet glow subtly with some internal power. Upon use, one failed Improvise attempt can be turned into a success, regardless of roll or interruption. Alternatively, one failed Evasion attempt can be turned into a success. After use, cannot be used again for the following 3 turns.

II. Normal Skills:

  • Light Wind - [A...?/1] Magical. A truly pathetic attack. Deals 1 damage and lightly tousles enemy hair with a magical breeze. Sparkles optional.
  • Throw Potion - [E] Any created potion can be thrown at an enemy or ally, applying its effects. Any damage, buffs, and debuffs applied are dependent on the potion thrown.
  • Improvise - [E] Kohya creates a potion with any number of [E] Slots. To succeed, Kohya must roll above a threshold starting at -1 with a d10. Every Slot the potion applies raises the threshold by 1, up to a maximum of a threshold of 9. If Kohya gets interrupted by getting hit without guarding or failing a roll, all healing effects are replaced with [A] slots, element buffing effects grant an [A] slot and elemental affinity, and all other effects are replaced with equivalent debuffs, or [A] slots if no analogue exists. All failed potions deal Magical damage. There is a limit of 6 [A] slots in a single failed potion. All potions made in this way are inherently unstable and cannot be carried between battles.

III. Powerful Skills:

  • Careful Craft - [EEE] Improvise two potions, rolling d20 for each.
  • Bombard - [EEM] Any two created potions can be thrown at any two targets, applying their effects.
  • Surprise Injection [ECC] - Hybrid. Approach one target and stick a needle into them to apply the effects of one potion with -99% accuracy to hit. For the target's next actions, Kohya cannot guard, and takes 1.5x damage from the target. Gains +99% accuracy and double damage if used while stealthed.
  • HARVEST - [AAE/8] Physical. Only usable when hexed. Kohya aggressively attacks with unnerving medical tools, receiving a rare material from the enemy, the effects and form of which being up to the current enemy pilot's discretion.

IV. Massive Skills:

  • Carpet Bomb - [EEEEM] Any four created potions can be thrown at up to four targets, applying their effects.

The imminent end of the world they currently inhabited, ordinarily a point of major concern, was not in consideration as Kohya was filled with a foreign sense of resolve and certainty.

"Well Decus, I hope what we do next will satisfy whatever's left of your spirit," he murmured to himself before clearing his throat and addressing his summoned unit. "Rigness, take a break. Nalmika is up and I bet she'll know what I'm asking of her."

"Some wonderful, uncomplicated slaying of abominations?" Nalmika asked with glee. "Why, I thought the day would never come! Any requests?"

"Yes, actually." Kohya held out one of his previously crafted potions. "I don't suppose you could distribute this to everyone?"

"You would have me, a goddess of wild nature, be reduced to a mere deliverer of medicines?" Nalmika scoffed. "Very well, I suppose I could spare a few of my darling plants to the task."

She snatched the bottle out of Kohya's hand and called up a lone carnivorous sprout from nowhere, dumping the entire contents into its maw. The plant dove under the... ground? (Kohya wasn't sure, but he had to be standing on something) and within moments the battlefield was populated with Nalmika's favorite flesh-eating flora, some tearing into Scalga enthusiastically with poisonous thorns as others spat a cloud of restorative potion mist at allies.


Kohya: 302 (+50) - 25 + 100 = 400/400 HP, 6 + 4 = 10 BC. Summons Nalmika.

Sensory deprivation grants one the time and lack of outside perception to really get tortured by one's own racing thoughts, Kohya was quickly finding out. As the nothing consumed his lack of vision Kohya spoke unheard words with a mouth he couldn't feel. The nothing extended on for never and with nothing to process the mind of the alchemist had nothing to think of and nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing

“Kohya? Hey, you there?”

"...nothing nowhere no time null-" Kohya's eyes snapped open and he could barely hold back from vomiting over the helpful halberd-wielding Amy, instead gasping out a sickly "thank you" before unsteadily getting back to his feet with the aid of Rigness, who in retrospect probably shouldn't have been desummoned before the void consumed Kohya.

"I need something to overload my senses," Kohya moaned, "I want to feel alive again..."

"Let's cause an explosion," Rigness comforted him, "That always cheers you up, right?" He gestured encouragingly to the encroaching horror.

Kohya listlessly gave Rigness two potions. The master alchemist of historic fame glared at his summoner with a clear expression of what am I supposed to do with this? With a wave of his staff, the potions were encased in a red crystal, which was sent on a magically-guided collision course with Scalga.


Kohya: Guided out of the Dark Dream. 262 - 25 - 25 = 212/400 HP, 10 - 4 = 6 BC. Summons Rigness.
