Engraved Chronology

Life is marked by destiny when we are born: the glowing Roman numerals on our arms are the countdown to our lifespan. I represents ten years, X represents a hundred years, and IV represents a thousand years. This "notch" determines everything - if you burn your lifespan, you can control the power of time; the powerful are eternal, and the bottom is momentary. In this Gothic city where gears roar and spiers pierce the mist, recorder Callan discovers an abandoned baby. On that young arm, there was actually a mark of despair "I" that could only survive for ten years, and on the side of his body was a name belonging to a legendary noble. The baby is like a taboo key, instantly attracting ruthless hunters and a silver-haired man with unfathomable power. When Karan decides to touch the baby, he peels away the world's veneer and steps into a dark legend of time theft, gods' lies, and rebellion against fate.
