The black magician Klopomort unexpectedly receives a letter - “Black Messenger” with a Claim to his Magic Tower. The sorcerer has only two days to prepare for the invasion of the army of the water magician Zhurchun. And as luck would have it, Klopomort's next life is coming to an end. And the strength is no longer what it used to be. In addition, there is almost no apeiron - the magical substance necessary for the magician to cast spells and feed the squad recruited from the undead. The only way for Klopomort to escape is to lure some young klutz into his Magic Tower and sacrifice him. And, having gained triple power after the Ritual of Revival, crush the arrogant challenger. But will the seemingly weak-minded youth found by the old sorcerer become an uncomplaining victim, a kind of timid moth in the webs of spiders? Or will he be able, like a hornet, to escape from the trapping net and fatally sting the insidious spider magician?
