It’s the golden age of treasure hunters – adventurers hungry for wealth, fame, power and glory, who risk their lives on treasure chests across the world.
“Let’s become treasure hunters.”
Krai and his childhood friends vowed to become the greatest ever, but that dream should have died the day Krai realized he wasn’t ready for the job! However, expectations continue to rise, along with Krai’s fear for his life. As his childhood friends move closer to realizing their dream, this grieving soul has one simple wish: pack up everything and retire!
