He, Artemy Kotov, an eleven-year-old orphan, had already once managed to get into a parallel world, where he survived only by a miracle, and was even adopted and accepted for training by experienced survival fighters. But this was not enough for fate, and she again threw the boy into a new parallel, into a completely different world with a long-collapsed civilization, populated by post-nuclear mutants and people in whom the Middle Ages, mixed with fragments of the past, are flourishing. Adapting, surviving and finding a way to return home is the only thing he dreamed of, but the Gods love the strong in spirit, and they are also gambling, and their jokes are cruel.
