In the city of Chronos, time was extracted from the lives of its citizens and stored in glowing orbs known as chrono-gems. The richer you were, the more time you had. People traded years, decades, and even centuries for material possessions. Aria, a young thief, stole not just valuables but also hours, days, and entire years from the wealthy elite. Her latest heist, however, came with an unexpected cost: the clockwork device that granted her immunity to time's grasp now threatened to consume her very soul.

As she navigated the intricate network of temporal highways, Aria realized that stealing time wasn't just about accumulating wealth; it was about living life to the fullest. She set out to find a way to break free from the clockwork's control and rediscover the value of precious moments in time.
