Surrounded by awe-inspiring pyramids and vibrant culture, he befriends kind-hearted locals who help him navigate this unfamiliar world. However, his time machine runs out of power, leaving him trapped with no way home.
As he searches for a way to recharge his invention, he attracts the attention of a cunning and enigmatic queen.

Now, the young inventor must outwit the queen while protecting his newfound friends, all while racing against time to restore his machine. Will he survive the queen's deadly ambitions and find a way back to his time, or will his brilliance be his undoing?
I started reading this web novel and honestly, the beginning is pretty good! The story has a cool premise, and I’m curious to see where it goes. The writing is easy to follow, and the characters seem interesting, but it feels like they could use a bit more depth. The pacing is alright, though a few moments feel rushed, and the dialogue could use some work. That said, for a first-time author, it’s really not bad at all! There’s a lot of potential here, and I’m excited to see how things develop. If the author keeps going, I think this could turn into something really fun to read. Looking forward to the next chapters
