This is the birth of the British Museum. In the 19th century, research on those collections begin. Mysteries of the world locked within the Wunder Kammer are revealed to the world with the light of science. Queen Charlotte of England appointed three of the best researchers as the Three Wise Men.

The rings grant the holder unlimited research funding and time as well as unrestricted access to all research related documents in any corner of the globe. By tradition, the Three Wise Men would pass their rings onto their most promising apprentice. Today, all the rings are in the hand of Sakaki Shinra, the previous Three Wise Men's foster son. The boy awaits, hoping to present the amazing secrets hidden in the darkness of the Wunder Kammer. But to see further, you'll have to pay for the entrance...

A collection of Rumiko Takahashi's early short stories.

In 1711, a group of alchemists seeking eternal life gathered on a boat to summon the "demon" that held the secret. The demon agreed to give them what they wanted—an elixir of life, the method to create more, and the secret to ending their new-found existence. The following night, alchemists began disappearing, "eaten" by one of their own. Realizing the threat being close together posed, they decided to scatter across the world. Centuries later, in Prohibition-era America, the immortals have come together once again, and the "stupid commotion" (baccano) starts.
