It was the golden age of treasure hunters—adventurers hungry for wealth, fame, power, and glory, who risked their lives in treasure vaults around the world.
“Become a treasure hunter.”
Krai and his childhood friends vowed to become the greatest of them all, but that dream should have died the day Krai realized he was not cut out for this job! However, expectations continue to grow, along with fears for Krai’s life. While his childhood friends move closer to their dreams, this grieving soul has one simple wish: pack it all up and retire!
