A world where Earth was captured and incorporated into the powerful Veli star empire. Maxim falls into a time loop that erases everything around him every week, except for his knowledge and ability to work with energy. But he is not the only time traveler - there are others nearby, much more powerful and dangerous, each of which has its own goals. Imperial aristocrats, rebels, old friends with their secrets, and then mysterious aliens from the depths of space appeared. And how to survive in all this cooking? After all, if an ordinary earthling could simply escape and hide, then such thoughts are no longer permissible for Lord Soldok.
