Book Summary: Time Loop Bank

In a world where time is the ultimate currency, the Time Loop Bank controls the most powerful resource known to humanity—the ability to borrow, trade, and manipulate time itself. Those who are wealthy extend their lives indefinitely, while the desperate gamble their futures for a fleeting second chance.

Ethan Carter, once known as Caleb in the underworld, wakes up in a hidden facility after a near-fatal betrayal. His former identity, erased. His past, buried. But the one thing he cannot escape is the debt that binds him to the system. He once thought he was playing the game, but now he realizes he was just another piece on the board.

As Ethan unravels the truth behind the Time Loop Bank, he discovers a conspiracy that stretches far beyond crime syndicates and corrupt officials. The elite aren’t just buying time—they’re rewriting history, shaping reality itself. And at the center of it all is a hidden force manipulating the flow of time for its own agenda.

Armed with stolen data and pursued by those who would rather see him dead than let the truth out, Ethan must navigate a world where every second counts. He is no longer just a survivor—he is the only person who can break the cycle. But to do so, he must outplay the system, confront the ones who control time itself, and make the ultimate gamble: risk everything or be erased from existence.

Time Loop Bank

Caleb didn't go straight back to the club. That would be suicide. Elias would already be suspicious, and if he was smart, he'd have people watching every known contact Caleb had. Instead, he doubled back, cutting through alleys and shifting into a crowd heading toward the market district. The weight of the drive in his pocket felt heavier with each step. He had what he needed, but information was only power if you lived long enough to use it. He needed to think, needed an edge. He needed Lyra.

He reached a side entrance of a quiet café, a place she used for meetings that weren't meant to be traced. The inside smelled like old coffee and data servers running too hot. Lyra was already waiting, one leg crossed over the other, her tablet resting on the table in front of her. She didn't look up when he sat down. "You either have something or you're already dead."

Caleb pulled the drive from his pocket and set it on the table. "Elias."

Now she looked at him. "That's not a guess?"

Caleb shook his head. "Proof. He's been moving time credits for months, setting up his own network. He's not just skimming. He's building something."

Lyra picked up the drive, turning it over between her fingers. "And now he knows someone is onto him."

Caleb leaned forward. "That's why I don't have time. I need you to get me in front of Dante now. Before Elias has a chance to spin his own story."

Lyra sighed, tapping the drive against the table. "You really know how to make my life difficult."

Caleb didn't reply. They both knew the window was closing fast. Finally, she pocketed the drive and stood.
