What Witch? This Alchemist is Breaking Bad!
Synopsis
After being transmigrated into another world and struggling to survive for years, Leon learns one brutal truth: once you step onto a certain path, there’s no turning back.
In an empire ruled by the Church, the production and smuggling of mana extracted from magical beasts is strictly forbidden. But forbidden things are often the most profitable. Starting as a nobody at the bottom of the Church hierarchy, Leon secretly builds an underground empire by taking in hunted witches and turning them into skilled alchemists, researchers, and monster handlers.
Step by step, he rises through both the underworld and the Empire itself.
In public, he becomes Viscount Arend, a powerful noble, a respected cardinal, the Grand Inquisitor, and one of the key figures supporting the new emperor.
But in the shadows, another name spreads fear across the continent.
Fenrir.
The Empire’s most wanted criminal. A feared blasphemer. The mastermind behind a massive smuggling network. A man whispered about in dark corners while witches sing his name in secret.
Yet Leon still remembers how everything began.
Back then, he was just Leon Set, a low-ranking inquisitor trying to survive inside the Church. Then one day, he met a real witch for the first time. With a gun pointed at her head, he offered her a choice that would change both of their lives forever:
“Miss Witch… want to make a deal with me?”
A dark fantasy story filled with crime, power struggles, smuggling, corruption, witches, and a man slowly building an empire while walking the line between savior and monster.
