A miner uses a backyard portal to trade with an ancient tribe and defeats their army.
Financial pressure drives a miner to excavate his own property, where he uncovers a stable passage to an ancient era. He encounters a tribe suffering from famine and begins supplying them with modern foodstuffs. In exchange, they provide him with gold, resolving his debts. When the tribe's leadership turns hostile and mobilizes an army against him, he deploys contemporary firearms and explosives to shatter the assault, securing his position and the portal's control.
