Leo Carter: The Accidental Time Traveler of Ancient Rome

Leo Carter: The Accidental Time Traveler of Ancient Rome

Leo Carter is just your average 21st-century English major—slightly disorganized, perpetually late, and hopelessly hooked on the dramatic, old-school world of Shakespeare. But when a late-night study session with Julius Caesar unexpectedly turns into an accidental trip through time, Leo finds himself not in a college dorm, but smack-dab in the heart of ancient Rome. To make matters worse, Leo isn't just a tourist; he's holding a mysterious, glowing book that seems to pulse with a life of its own and whispers secrets that no modern-day student should ever know. Cue the eye-rolls from history buffs everywhere: Leo Carter, with his sneakers and too-tight jeans, is now the unlikely center of attention in a world full of toga-wearing senators, opportunistic politicians, and more backstabbing than a high school cafeteria. With the help of Gaius, a sharp-tongued scholar who suspects Leo's arrival is part of a bigger picture, Leo must navigate the bustling city streets, avoid unwanted attention from the guard, and figure out why his 21st-century self is now entangled in a centuries-old power struggle. All the while, he’s juggling his modern sensibilities with the unexpected—and often absurd—realities of life in ancient Rome, including questionable hygiene, impromptu gladiator fights, and more than one ill-timed “Et tu, Brute?” moment. As if that wasn't enough, there’s the book: a relic that some seek to control and others to destroy. With his own life on the line, Leo will have to learn the real lessons of ambition, loyalty, and how to properly make an entrance when surrounded by a crowd of toga-clad onlookers. And he might just find that some things—whether ancient or modern—are more timeless than they seem.

The Zygotes were aliens from the outer space, a planet known as Eranus. They originated from Earth about thirty thousand years ago. They do not die due to the vial to the sand of life which has made them to assume immortality; the Vial was given to them by a witch. They had seen the pillages and degradation that Earth had been subjected to. Their mission was to help Earth, otherwise, what happens on Earth will eventually have a devastating effect on Eranus. There were uprisings fuelled by the greedy politicians in order to topple the Zygotes. Lastly was the DNA profiling of a Zygote at Wuhan laboratory in China, which led to the creation of a dangerous animal known as Zygosaur- a specie of Pterosaur. The presence of the Zygosaurs had caused deaths in the number of several millions on Earth. The Zygosaurs were dangerous-could only be gotten rid of if they make their way back to Africa. The immortality of the Zygotes meant that someone had to reveal the code to the sand of life- Zamata, a lady Zygote fell in love with a scientist called Kiof. The code to the vial that holds the sand of life was released by Zamata to Kiof. The Zygotes were defeated, the politicians were happy. The bounty placed on the Zygotes for anyone/persons who help to defeat the Zygotes was won by the trio of Kiof, Joki and Zamata. They outplayed each other with deception to see who eliminates each other in order to have complete access to the bounty. One of trio (Kiof) got killed in the ensuing drama of trying to outdo each other. The rat race has just begun. The politicians were back to their usual life! Mr. Paski woke to discover he was in a dream!
