The Crossblood Alchemist

After a fatal accident on Earth, Rupert Cross awakens in a broken world of magic and monsters, inhabiting the body of a fallen noble from a ruined house of legendary alchemists. Stranded at the edge of civilization near the Forbidden Ivory Forest, with nothing but a failing shop and fading memories, Rupert must claw his way from the dirt toward power and survival. Armed with only basic alchemy skills, a battered dagger, and the fragments of a once-great inheritance, Rupert steps into a brutal land where might makes right and weakness is devoured. Facing hunger, danger, and despair, he gambles everything on a desperate plan — to hunt fearsome mana beasts, brew rare potions, and rebuild the legacy of a family long thought dead. But in the shadows of the forest and the depths of the world, forces far greater than mere beasts stir. As Rupert struggles to master alchemy and thrive in this world, he will discover that survival is only the beginning. If he wants to rise above the ashes of his past and forge a new destiny, he must challenge a world built to break men like him. In a realm where strength is life and failure means death, Rupert Cross will either carve his name into legend — or be forgotten with the dust.
