Description
Julius, a genius court magician who had mastered teleportation magic, finds his career cut short after a war ends. With his unique skills no longer needed, he is demoted to a menial position working in a potion factory. His fortunes change dramatically when he is suddenly kidnapped by a pair of cute elf sisters and transported to the desert country of Shambhala. The elves, believing him to be the best alchemist, plead for his help, as their nation has been relying on high-quality potions that only he can produce. The leader of the elves offers him a bride, an offer he accepts without complaint, leading to his new life in this arid land. Though he initially protests that he is merely a magician, the potions he creates at their request turn out to be elixirs of immense power. Forced into marriage with the beautiful elf sisters, Julius decides to embrace his role as an alchemist and save Shambhala. His new life involves exploring labyrinths alongside his elf companions and using his strongest potions to rescue the desert people. Back in his home country, the potion supply deteriorates sharply, creating a crisis for those who had treated him coldly. With his loyalty to his homeland exhausted and his new life alongside his dazzling oasis-dwelling wives proving fulfilling, Julius has no desire to return. The story follows his rise from a disgraced court mage to a celebrated hero in a foreign land, complete with labyrinth exploration, political consequences, and the development of miraculous elixirs. This light novel won the Silver Prize in the 1st Newcomer Discovery Contest.
