Can an unlikely quartet of heroes sent back to ancient Egypt save humanity from a seemingly unstoppable evil?
It was just a typical day for third-year university student Edith Orozco as she boarded her train home, but her world is unexpectedly thrown into chaos as she finds herself thrust into a time traveling adventure to save humanity from a seemingly unstoppable evil.
With the help of her niece, Moli, and two strangers, James and Kiza, the group must travel through time to collect nine wonders from history in just nine days. Only then can they hope to save the world from Pandorai, a murderous AI bent on destruction, along with its two maniacal henchmen: resurrected Adolf Hitler and Dr Shiro Ishii.
Tasked with collecting their first wonder, The Book of the Living, the unlikely quartet of heroes are transported back in time to Ancient Egypt, where they must travel to the Tomb of King Unas. But the clock is ticking, with only 24 hours to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to reach their destination.
Can Edith guide the group and encourage them to work together as they encounter treacherous slave merchants, frightening prehistoric dinosaurs, and mischievous ancient gods? Or will the evil Trio beat them to their prize and bring the world one step closer to mayhem and destruction?
