When they send him to the feared Punishment Room he thinks it's the end for him, but there he meets Gala, a student who programs everything that falls into her hands, and the Professor, a young History Teacher who is watching over the room. A short circuit in BR-41N, Gala's robot creation, sends them on a trip to the Middle Ages by mistake. The team is forcibly separated: Hugo is the blacksmith's new apprentice, Gala is sent with the maidservants, the Professor becomes second jester and the robot flees to the forest. The new friends will have to turn the castle upside down in order to find one another again and get out of their Medieval adventure with flying colors.

He’s a troll on the internet and a bully at school, but everything changes when a lightning bolt strikes his house one night and his cell phone starts to shine... and something evil emerges from inside it. The fake personality that David created online has come to life and is willing to do everything its owner pretended to do... but it has another plan as well: to replace David in the real world, not just online. David will have to join forces with Martha, the girl he bullied, in order to defeat the virtual ghost that wants to replace him.
