On the first day of time travel, he owed three thousand gold coins.
Longin Voss, fifteen years old, is a bankrupt nobleman. The silver mine is about to close down, the manor is about to collapse, and the creditor is the smiling Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. This isn't the worst. The worst part is that the real Longin Voss has drowned, he is just a time traveler occupying the body.
He thought the biggest challenge was to pretend to be a nobleman-memorizing the complicated etiquette, compiling the Watson family genealogy, and not revealing the secret at the banquet. But he soon discovered that this world was far more dangerous than the numbers on the ledger: demons feed on fear, lifespan is the hardest currency, and the heaviest punishment is to be reduced to a public lifespan - having your life extracted while alive until it is exhausted.
Debts can be repaid. But how can we repay what we owe to God?
