In the secluded depths of an abandoned mountain, nestled within a forgotten valley, lurked a dilapidated Victorian mansion. It was here that Mr. Snodgers, a reclusive hermit, resided. His life had taken an extraordinary turn long ago, granting him the enigmatic power of immortality. With each passing year, he embarked on perilous journeys, traversing through the annals of history, witnessing the rise and fall of civilizations.
Darkness enveloped the basement of the mansion as Mr. Snodgers summoned his two wide-eyed grandsons, eager to share his extraordinary tales. Seated around a flickering hearth, the boys were captivated by their grandfather's words.
