Jó, nesmrtelnost. Všechno to zní jako báječný nápad... Aahz přijme nabídku a vstoupí, nejdříve coby investor, do projektu na výstavbu pyramidy. Propadne ale té myšlence natolik, že do pyramidového systému zatáhne snad všechny, co zná – samozřejmě do nižších pater. Nic však není ideální: společně s vidinou věčné slávy a nejlepšího výhledu na údolí Zyx přichází i nepředstavitelná smůla. A je na Skeevovi, aby zjistil, proč se projektu nedaří, než se celá pyramida sesype jako domeček z karet...

Aahz se během dlouho očekávané dovolené ocitne ve vzdálené dimenzi na bleším trhu. Dá se tam do řeči s kouzelným mečem, který o sobě tvrdí, že je legendárním Ersatzem, známým vůdcem Zlaté hordy, bájné sbírky sedmi mocných pokladů. Ersatz přesvědčí Aahze, aby si jej koupil s tím, že se mu odmění nejen penězi, ale že mu dokonce vrátí jeho dávno ztracenou Sílu. Zakopaný pes je ale v tom, že musí najít celý zbytek Hordy. Aahz se tedy spojí s Tanandou a její současnou zaměstnavatelkou Kalypsou, která má také své důvody, proč Hordu potřebuje dát dohromady. Musí ji vyměnit se zlým čarodějem Barýkem za život svého dědečka, velkého tanečníka Kalypsa. Na začátku tedy stál naprosto regulérní obchod, ale v průběhu šlamastyky se změnil v kombinaci honby za poklady se záchrannou misí, seancí egoistů a mírovým shromážděním. Složitému úkolu nijak neulehčuje fakt, že jsou kouzelné předměty roztroušené po všemožných dimenzích a navíc se vlastně vůbec nemají rády…

Tento díl Mýtu obsahuje tři příběhy... „Miss sympatie aneb sympatický mýtus“, „Velký plán aneb i Perfekt se někdy přepočítá“ a „Mýtus hledá superstar“. Jak je vidět, spolupráce Roberta Asprina s J. L. Nye přináší lehce novou energii zábavy, humoru a dobrodružství.

Vše začíná dnem, kdy Aahze navštíví dva ranaři a malý čaroděj coby vymahači, kteří přišli ze Skeeva vymlátit dluh. Aahzovi se to nezdá, neboť, jak zná Skeeveho dobře, nesplácení dluhů nepatří mezi jeho mouchy, ačkoliv jich má mnoho, a tak se vydá s přáteli objasniti tuto nejasnost. Stopa je přivede až do jednoho pro Pervekty z nejhorších míst světa - do hypermarketu! Zde zjistí, že Skeeve je jen pouze jednou z obětí jisté krysí spodiny....... celý text

Skeeve Veliký, čaroděj králů a král čarodějů, opustil svůj dobrodružný život, aby se věnoval studiu magie a své označení „velký“ si také konečně zasloužil. Jednoho dne však za ním přichází Korbačik jako vyslanec Nivanů s prosbou, aby jim pomohl zbavit se desítky Pervektek, kterou kdysi požádali o finanční poradenství, když se ocitli na mizině.

Like Helva, the Ship Who Sang, (and Nancia from PartnerShip, Tia from The Ship Who Searched, and Simeon, who runs The City Who Fought) Carialle was born so physically disadvantaged that her only chance for life was as a shellperson.
