Cannons and Whispers of the Old Days

The moment you open the forbidden book, the countdown to destruction begins. In Renaissance Florence, the dissolute aristocrat Alessio Medici paid a sky-high price for a mysterious forbidden oriental book, "The Supplement to the Creation of Heaven." What is recorded in the book is horrifying knowledge that is far ahead of the times - the self-seeking firebird, the giant kite that tears apart the sky, the loom that weaves the future, the diving bell that leads to the deep sea... Every successful experiment pushes him to the peak of power; every failure tears a crack in the curtain of reality. Alessio is addicted to the ecstasy of controlling the taboo, but he does not know that he is becoming a sacrifice in an ancient ritual step by step. The nine failures are the foreshadowing, and the tenth success - the "self-seeking cannon" that can shatter the city wall - will be the final key to awaken the sleeping gods. Bloody stars appear in the night sky, a strange ancient city emerges from the deep sea, and the stone gates under the Persian desert rumble. The secret keeper from the East, the one-eyed Templar, the Doge of Venice... All forces are involved in this crazy competition across the continent. When he finally stands in front of the forbidden cannon, holding the fuse that ignites the world, he must choose: Be the keyholder to open the door to the abyss, or use this power of destruction to forge the final shackles that seal the evil god? Knowledge is power and a curse. When the Great Old One opens his eyes from eternal sleep, the entire Renaissance will become the altar of His awakening.
