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 plannedโ€”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!

The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life, Vol. 1 (light novel) by Ox Ox and Usata Nonohara explores Mariela's journey as she adjusts to her new reality and strives to create the life she dreams of.
