Summary

Allegra, a 27-year-old disheartened by the world of journalism, convinces her older brother, Dante, to join her in the bold venture of purchasing a melancholic café, with plans to modernize it and give it new life. During the renovations, the collapse of a basement wall reveals an incredible truth: the café was once a tavern and has existed continuously since the 12th century. Driven by curiosity, Allegra begins investigating the history of the place and encounters the lives of four adventurers who, over the centuries, found refuge within those walls. But the past and present are more connected than the siblings could have imagined, and they seem unaware of the approaching danger.

    When Timothy finally found work as a tester for a popular online MMORPG, his lifelong dream was fulfilled. And now, he earns money (and pretty good money, at that) just for doing what he loves – playing a beautiful and realistic computer game. 
    But he isn't some typical run-of-the-mill player, like the millions of others. Timothy is truly capable and talented, and stands out from the crowd. In fact, the faceless masses consider him far too lucky and successful. Many players dislike him for his achievements and hunt him down ruthlessly just because they feel envious or because he looks different. 
    So, what is he to do now when the whole world is against him, and his only allies are his beloved sister and a few trusted friends? Make peace? Sink down to their level? Or just fly ever higher on the wings of success? It's all up to Timothy!
