2020. A world where Carthage won, not Rome. The ball is ruled by the magic of the bloodthirsty Baal: give the most expensive to get more. Each to his own and God watching over everyone. All religions are erased. Life is concentrated in giant ziggurat anthills, where tricksters live in dungeons - a magical people to be exterminated outside the system, whose Baal is not honored. His name is Leon. Like all tricksters, he is a warrior, and also has the gift of techno - the ability to understand mechanisms. During the raid, he is captured, and his consciousness is reflashed: they establish a program to destroy their own kind. But instead of becoming a faithful dog of the system, Leon opens up new opportunities and challenges the world of Carthage. Will a person, albeit not quite ordinary, be able to turn the tide of history and preserve his soul?
