Chapter 1The Merchant of Time

In the heart of the city, cloaked in an air of mystery, lay an alley that defied easy notice. Tucked away from prying eyes, it held the entrance to a shop like no other. Lucian, the enigmatic Merchant of Time, operated here. His appearance seemed ageless, his eyes holding the wisdom of countless years.

The shop was adorned with an array of antique clocks, each one a unique masterpiece. The ticking of their hands was a symphony of life's passage. People came from far and wide, drawn by rumors of Lucian's peculiar trade. He offered the chance to extend one's existence, to gain riches or power, in exchange for years from his own seemingly endless lifespan.

Lucian's shop was shrouded in whispers and shadows. A velvet curtain of smoke served as the entrance, a mystical barrier between the mundane world and the realm of the timeless merchant. Those who entered were met with the scent of ancient parchment and the soft chimes of the ticking clocks.

In his centuries of existence, Lucian had encountered all manner of individuals: the desperate, the ambitious, the broken. They came to him with fervent desires, and he listened to their wishes with an air of detachment. He would gauge the price, the years required, and make his offer. For a price, he would transfer years from his eternal life to theirs, granting them the temporary power they sought.
