This ancient relic is said to possess the power to manipulate time, making it a highly sought-after object by various factions, including dark sorcerers, demon lords, and ambitious rulers. The hourglass is tied to an ancient legend about the resurrection of a powerful entity that could bring about catastrophic consequences if unleashed.

As Lina and Gourry investigate the origins and purpose of the hourglass, they are joined by familiar faces such as Zelgadis Greywords, a chimera swordsman seeking a cure for his cursed form, and Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun, a justice-driven princess and sorceress. Together, the group uncovers a conspiracy involving a secretive cult that aims to use the hourglass to rewrite history and reshape the world according to their dark vision.
