Three hundred years ago, when the black staves rained down from the sky and monstrous titans called homunculi threatened to wipe out humanity, countries set aside their differences to unite against their impending doom, eventually defeating the hellish beasts. But a lone survivor, the Homunculus King, has now reappeared in nineteenth-century London to wreak havoc and finish what its brethren started. Entrusted by his predecessor to protect the city of London, brilliant alchemist Lee Heartrib may be the only man who can prevent humanity’s annihilation. Will he finally see his own dream of paradise on earth realized?
In a world of alchemy and chaos, one group will do whatever it takes to make their own paradise.
In nineteenth century London, deep in the East End, there live the Hooligans: a band of miscreants led by alchemist Lee Heartrib, the current head of the Antilia Family mafia. Entrusted with guardianship of the city by his predecessor, Lee uses his alchemy to keep the junkies happy—but his true aim is creating a “paradise” for the good of the people. And sometimes, that involves getting his hands dirty, especially when he’s pitted against the other mafia heads, or shadowy beings who want to eliminate human life on earth.
A new world order is on the horizon, with the Hooligans leading the way!
