Chapter 1 - Golden King Tutankhamun

The Return of the Golden King Tutankhamun – Extended Version

In the year 2093, Egypt was living through a kind of quiet tension, like that weird moment right before a huge storm hits. Archaeologists in Luxor were working on a massive project, trying to uncover chambers that hadn't been opened for thousands of years. One day, the ground shook under the team's feet—not from an earthquake, but from a strange rush of hot air coming from a deep underground cavity. Nobody had ever seen anything like it, so they cut all the power and went closer, cautiously, by hand.

At the south wall of an abandoned chamber, thin cracks of light started to seep through the stone, like there was some glowing source behind it. The scientists were baffled. One technician dared to place his hand on the wall, and the stone shook slightly and slowly pushed back, like a door opening on its own. Behind it, a narrow passage revealed itself, leading to a room that wasn't on any archaeological map.

They entered with hearts pounding. The room was empty except for a round stone platform engraved with ancient hieroglyphics they had never seen before, so intricate it looked almost alien. Before anyone could take notes, a golden light started radiating from the middle of the platform—pure, clean, alive. It felt like the light itself was watching them.

As the glow grew, the silhouette of a young man appeared on the platform. Slowly, his features became clear. He looked about nineteen, tall and slender, with dark, piercing eyes. He wore simple ancient Egyptian clothes, and on his left arm was a royal ring with a cartouche no one could mistake. One of the scientists tried to shout, but the words got stuck in his throat.

The young man opened his eyes slowly, scanned the room, and spoke in a calm, steady voice:

"Where am I?"

No one answered. The scene was beyond comprehension.

He looked at the hieroglyphics on the walls and added,

"Is this Egypt? Has time… passed?"

The oldest archaeologist stepped forward nervously and asked,

"Who… who are you?"

The young man raised his hand, pointing to the cartouche:

"I am Tutankhamun."

Everyone froze. The name they had studied their whole lives, the king whose tomb they had discovered thousands of years ago, was standing alive in front of them.

But the scientist refused to believe it. "Impossible… impossible… this can't be real."

Tutankhamun said calmly, "I know you won't believe me. Ask me anything."

They questioned him about secret rituals, details about the priests of Amun, meanings of temple inscriptions. He answered every question flawlessly. Then he requested something strange:

"I want to see the sun."

For the first time in thousands of years, he stepped outside. He looked at the sky, and then at the pyramids on the horizon, and said,

"I never imagined they'd stand this long."

Secretly, they moved him to Cairo. A full scientific wing was built for him underground. But the government was skeptical and demanded proof. They asked him to reveal the secret of the pyramids. He smiled:

"It's not one secret… it's a series of secrets."

They took him to the Great Pyramid. Inside the dark corridors, he moved like he had been there before he was even born. Touching certain stones made them hum. He found a hidden room behind a stone slab no scanning device could detect.

"This entrance was sealed by the builders of the Old Kingdom. Only someone who lived among them would know," he explained.

This earned him credibility. But the public didn't believe a word. Most thought it was a political stunt.

Next, they asked him about mummification. He smiled again,

"The first step… isn't about materials. It's about intention."

He revealed procedures not recorded in any papyrus—materials, ratios, temperatures, fluid removal techniques, how to preserve skin and bones for millennia. He mentioned tombs of kings not yet discovered, and a secret chamber of a king lost to history.

Every day, pressure mounted. The government wanted political leverage. The public demanded proof. Scientists wanted more secrets. And unseen forces began tracking his every move—forces not just from other countries, but something else entirely. Something not entirely human.

Tutankhamun heard whispers at night, saw symbols appear on walls, felt something else had returned with him from the temporal chamber. Something unfriendly, stalking him from the very moment he awoke.

Despite it all, he continued revealing secrets. One day, standing atop the Giza plateau in front of the Great Pyramid, he placed his hands on the ground and declared,

"The pyramids aren't tombs… they were stations… and they will be operational again."

He explained the network of energy connecting the pyramids, how the ancients used vibrations, angles, sound, and magnetic fields to move stones and channel energy. He revealed construction methods, energy management, and applications for healing and illumination.

As he revealed each secret, fear and fascination grew around him.

One night, all lights went out in the secret facility. A shadow moved between the walls, closer to living smoke than human. It stopped behind him and whispered,

"You've returned… but you're not alone."

Tutankhamun turned slowly, unafraid.

"I knew you would follow me," he said.

The shadow vanished into the stone wall, leaving a small scroll with symbols unknown to the scientists—symbols older than the ancient Egyptians.

Here, the real saga began.

After declaring his return, Tutankhamun reorganized Egypt's security and governance, forming the "New Royal Guard" with elite officers and five scholars from the House of Wisdom.

His first step was to secure the western and southern borders with advanced thermal motion detectors, testing state responsiveness. When he saw the rapid compliance, he realized his influence exceeded expectation.

Within a week, silent reforms began in ministries. Incompetent officials were replaced by young experts from the House of Wisdom. Citizens noticed the state changing shape overnight.

Meanwhile, he sent a secret expedition to the Sinai Desert, searching for the "energy node" linking past and present. After six days, they found stone structures buried under sand, precisely carved corridors ending in a small cavity. Tutankhamun immediately recognized it as an activation point used by ancient priests.

Returning with the report, he called Egypt's top physicists, using spectral analysis to detect residual energy. After 72 hours, they discovered energy patterns unlike any known field. Tutankhamun recognized them instantly—they were remnants of the force sustaining his body for millennia.

He met secretly with military leaders:

"Egypt won't wage war… but it will become an unmissable central power."

He reactivated the "Eastern Gateway," a massive infrastructure project linking Sinai to the coast for trade and eventually serving as an economic artery.

Simultaneously, he revamped cultural identity, creating educational programs combining modern science with Old Kingdom administration principles, aiming to cultivate disciplined, knowledgeable citizens.

Three months into his reign, intelligence reported foreign attempts to interfere. Tutankhamun responded silently, issuing plans to reduce foreign dependency by 40% within a year and expanding desert agriculture using updated ancient irrigation methods.

A breakthrough came when the House of Wisdom discovered an uncharted underground passage under the Luxor Temple. The king entered and found a small closed coffin with a metallic device inscribed with incomplete texts. He personally took the device to the throne room.

Touching it, inscriptions lit up and revealed a map of Egypt—not just modern Egypt but layers of historical timelines. The map moved rapidly through ages, stopping at the oases desert. Tutankhamun understood a past secret remained incomplete and dispatched a field team to excavate it.

Meanwhile, intelligence tracked foreign powers suspecting Egypt's secretive activity. Cyber espionage attempts were thwarted. Tutankhamun created "Horus Eye Digital," a unit to safeguard Egypt's future projects.

After five days, the expedition located a cavern sixty meters deep. They uncovered a massive stone gate, carved as a single block without inscriptions. When Tutankhamun arrived, he activated it using the first device. The passage revealed a glowing stone corridor.

At the end, a platform held a small metallic object reflecting light strangely. Tutankhamun sensed it was linked to the device from Luxor. Placing them together, light lines connected them, forming one system. Holographic displays illustrated pyramid construction, energy symbols, star maps, and machines unseen by modern science.

A voice appeared on the wall:

"Complete what we started… energy is yours."

Tutankhamun realized this would reshape Egypt's future. He named the secret project "Third Eye," merging ancient tech with modern energy sources, run solely by the army and House of Wisdom.

Foreign powers sensed the development. To distract them, surface projects were launched while the underground operation continued.

The first prototype ran, causing minor tremors but enough to power a small city. Tutankhamun said calmly,

"This is the future… and no one will touch it."

Expanding the project revealed a foreign energy signal with the same ancient signature—another facility, beyond Egypt and possibly beyond time. Tutankhamun created "Horus Shadow" to track it.

He led a secret expedition to the Red Sea mountains. They discovered a concealed entrance, descending into a massive stone corridor. The signal strengthened. At the corridor's end stood a monumental hall with four stone cavities designed for the energy devices—the core of an incomplete power station.

A projection appeared:

"Who enters must carry the Key of Light."

Tutankhamun stepped forward:

"I am Tutankhamun, King of Egypt, here to complete what was paused."

The projection warned of a stolen key from another land, outside Egypt's control. Tutankhamun understood two devices weren't enough; a third key was missing.

He immediately dispatched a small elite team, including himself, to retrieve it from a historically rival, mountainous land. The journey was treacherous. After locating a hidden passage, they found the third key—a metallic, complex device.

Before touching it, a chilling wind and energy wave emanated. A foreign figure appeared: not Egyptian, from another world, claiming the third key. He declared:

"What was yours is now mine. I found the path Egypt failed to protect."

Tutankhamun stopped his guard, addressed the figure:

"Your power is meant for ruin. I will restore it, no matter the cost."

Placing his hand on the device, a blinding white light erupted. The foreign figure vanished; the device went silent. The team escaped as the mountain subtly shook.

Back in Egypt, placing the three keys activated the main system for the first time in millennia. The system pulsed like the heartbeat of a civilization. Tutankhamun said:

"Now… the real part begins."

A stronger signal appeared from the foreign figure. The third key vibrated in resonance. Tutankhamun whispered:

"He wants to use it to open a gateway… but I control the keys."

He realized the timeline itself was bending. Scientists detected anomalies globally—distorted atmosphere, strange ocean currents, circular formations in remote deserts.

A single pictorial message arrived from the foreign figure:

"The battle isn't over, King of Egypt. What you guard isn't a device… it's the future of time itself."

Tutankhamun knew the opponent had a time gateway, similar to the one that brought him back. He went underground, reinforcing Egypt's defenses, preparing the final battle for temporal supremacy.

The keys were part of a larger system guarding Egypt's central time axis. Any outside attempt risked destabilizing cities or creating temporal rifts.

He issued rapid orders:

Construct a protective energy shield combining modern tech and ancient principles.

Build a secure tunnel from the palace to the device.

Assemble elite scientists to counter foreign waves.

Locate the foreign facility precisely.

Analysis revealed it in uninhabited mountains, filled with black rock, possibly impacted by ancient meteorites.

The king realized the final step:

"If time is a gateway… Egypt is its first key. No one steals what has been returned to me."

Preparations for "Eye of Ra" commenced: a strike to shut the foreign gateway and regain timeline control.

Tutankhamun alone felt a deep link to this figure, as if their destinies were intertwined since the ancient priesthood built the temporal system.

Hours before the operation, a massive energy wave shook Egypt. The main device lit, revealing intersecting energy lines pointing to a single point—the central time axis.

Tutankhamun, with all his knowledge, devices, and keys, activated the axis. Energy cascaded through stone corridors. The foreign figure tried to intervene but failed to penetrate the shield. A colossal light portal opened, showing multiple overlapping timelines, all under Tutankhamun's control.

He said,

"This is Egypt… the heart of history forever."

He sealed all unauthorized temporal exits, and the foreign figure vanished, powerless.

The king began building a new grand pyramid—more than a tomb, a historical-scientific hub preserving knowledge, energy, and time itself. The old pyramids functioned as an energy network, but the new pyramid became its core, a symbol of hope, wisdom, and strength.

Egypt entered its greatest renaissance in millennia. Tutankhamun vanished from sight, leaving a legacy: Egypt, the heart of civilization, the axis of time, and a civilization where past and future coexisted.

The people learned: history never dies—it returns to shape the future. Every stone in the new pyramid bore witness to Egypt's enduring power, knowledge, and resilience.

But a new chapter was about to begin… because even kings from the past need help when facing crises beyond human understanding.

And in this epic moment, Tutankhamun called upon King Khufu, the genius mind of ancient history, to guide him through the greatest challenge yet—a temporal crisis that could unravel not just Egypt, but time itself.

Khufu, with his unmatched intellect, began calculating energy flows, pyramid alignments, and temporal harmonics, offering solutions

no modern scientist could conceive. Together, Tutankhamun and Khufu became an unstoppable force, blending ancient wisdom and modern strategy to safeguard Egypt and the timeline forever.
