The Alchemist and the Beast in the Bottle Short Stories

This is a time when magic ebbs and alchemy lights up the dawn. The ancient magic tower gradually dimmed, and ether gas lamps illuminated the street corners of the old city; spells were no longer as reliable as they once were, and copper pipes, furnace fires, glass bottles, and artificial ether began to take over people's daily lives. This collection of short stories collects fragments of stories that took place in this transitional era. They may be about a failed forging, an inconspicuous adventure, an obsession forgotten by the times, or they may just be about a day spent by someone and a beast in a bottle. Before magic has completely faded away and alchemy has not truly ruled the world, those weak but stubborn lights are lighting up little by little from the embers.
