Description
Cronos
Chronos is a small device invented in 1536 by the alchemist Umberto Falconelli, who fled from Spain to Mexico. A device that grants immortality. However, in 1937, the alchemist's life was cut short by a tragic accident, because Chronos promised eternal life to anyone who would feed him with his own blood.
The property of the mansion where the alchemist lived was sold at auction. And then one day the owner of the antique shop, old Jesus Gris, picked open the angel figurine and, having found a strange box inside, activated its winding mechanism.
