Having barely obtained one of the five swords for the goddess’s quest, Falk can’t wait to go for the second, because not only a virtual reward is at stake, but also a very real life. By an unfortunate coincidence, his path again lies in the city of gremlins. Alas, now he has no money for an expensive teleport and will have to get there through the lands of the gnomes. The dwarf Fram volunteers to help him on his journey, but before leaving he asks Falk to find out the secret of getting rid of the posthumous curse of the god Apofig for himself and his friends - Korn, Amina, Lert and Ratmir. This means that Falk urgently needs to find a common language with the most terrible necromancer in the service of the Empire, and also his virtual uncle - Renik Foudre.
