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...
Someone—or something—masquerading as Skeeve the Magnificent is racking up hundreds of thousands of gold pieces of debt. It's up to Aahz the Pervect (not pervert!) to find the myth-creant and put an end to the shopping spree.
When the sheepish Wuhses are taken advantage of by the overbearing Pervects, Skeeve teams up with Zol Icty--self-help expert and bestselling author of Imps Are from Imper, Deveels Are from Deva --on a mythion in personal empowerment.
