ACT 1: EXPOSITION
-17 Years Ago-
“Subject number twenty two is in position.”
“Power the artifact.”
Dr. Rudolph D. Edgars’ beady eyes bore into subject twenty two. He had not slept in two days and it showed by the swelling of his face. Time is of the essence, however, as much, much more than his life is depending on the success of his experiment.
Deep rumblings reverberated throughout the lab, causing the already dim lightbulbs dangling from the ceiling to flicker and sway. The seven scientists momentarily paused as dust spilt downward from above.
Wwhhhhhirrrrr...
“The artifact is powered.”
Dr. Edgars wiped his brow free from sweat with his forearm and took a sharp breath.
“Engage.”
Ca-CHHH!
The incubator containing the infant labeled subject twenty two spun and collapsed in on itself. Brilliant white light shone through the cracks of the holding unit blinding the host of scientists.
“Status!”
“Subject twenty two’s tether has been shattered.”
“Vital signs?”
“Negative.”
Silence permeated the room. Exasperation was mixing in with the exhaustion that was already more than abundant within the room.
Dr. Edgars voice trembled noticeably as he spoke.
“Prepare subject number twenty three.”

The Complete Alchemyst book 1
You've heard of superheroes, seen them flying across the sky, destroying great swaths of cities and ending countless innocent lives in order to defeat great evils and world-spanning threats and sell lots of sponsorships and merchandising opportunities. This is a story about the guy that is not those heroes. A supervillain in a world where making the right friends and political contacts is what separates the good guys from the bad. The Alchemyst is a story about a normal guy in a crazy world that spends his time trying to follow his dreams and conscience, working on new potions, thinking about girls, and lifting heavy shit, while trying to stay under the radar of the superheroes, supervillains, and governments that want what he can do. And occasionally turning them into makeshift melee weapons. If you enjoy The Boys, the Aberrant roleplaying game, Mystery Men, Trashy romances, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, or SAW you may enjoy this book. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people.

Wretched Brood
I knew I was different from the beginning. I wanted nothing to do with those simpletons that valued only food, drink, and women. So I distanced myself from my brood, not considering myself a goblin. I even tried to become one of the humans, befriending some in the process. I thought that I’d live a relatively happy life as a “human” adventurer, albeit behind a wooden mask. At that time I didn’t know that I’d soon become the enemy of all humanoid races, a being that was despised and feared by all intelligent creatures. The calamity called “Scourge.”
