A Matter of Time

A brilliant scientist named Zorrick West leads a team on a voyage to achieve multiversal travel. A failure of his voyage results in the loss of Zorrick’s entire team and Zorrick’s inadvertent transportation to an alternate ancient Egypt, where he is stuck. As Zorrick begins to embed himself in Egyptian society, learning the language and customs of ancient Egypt and calling himself a traveler, he is transported by portal and meets an all-powerful figure named Moreous, who claims to be the keeper of time, space, and the multiverse. After informing Zorrick that he has committed a crime by inadvertently rupturing the fabric of the space-time continuum and transporting to ancient Egypt, Moreous offers Zorrick a chance at redemption by helping him hunt and destroy a powerful creature named Xenendorf. Only the successful elimination of Xenendorf will result in mercy and a return home for Zorrick, but failure or refusal to help Moreous would cause Moreous to destroy everything Zorrick holds dear. As Zorrick embarks on his exciting and dangerous adventures in the Multiverse, Zorrick begins to discover that Moreous is hiding the truth from him and that Xenendorf is not who Moreous made him out to be.
