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 moved quickly, keeping his head low, his hands steady. The city pulsed around him, but he tuned it out. The drive in his pocket burned against his skin, a reminder that he had something people would kill for. Maybe already had.

Lyra's safe house was hidden in the shell of an abandoned complex, buried behind layers of false access logs and security systems that only she controlled. He reached the entrance, keyed in the access code, and slipped inside. The door sealed behind him.

Lyra was already waiting, arms crossed, watching him with sharp, unreadable eyes. "Took you long enough."

Caleb didn't waste time. He pulled the drive from his pocket and tossed it onto the table. "Elias wasn't working alone."

Lyra arched a brow but said nothing as she picked up the drive, plugging it into her secured terminal. The screen lit up, the raw data scrolling in front of them. Caleb didn't need to explain. She saw it the moment it appeared.

Lyra's fingers paused over the keys. A slow exhale. "Well," she said, voice flat. "That's a problem."

Caleb ran a hand through his hair, pacing. "Elias was tracking him. I don't know if he planned to use it, but if he was keeping it close, it means he was waiting for the right moment."

Lyra leaned back. "And now that moment belongs to you."

Lyra tapped her fingers against the table. "So what's your move?"

Caleb let the question settle. There was no easy answer. Taking this to Dante was a death sentence. But holding onto it made him a target. The only way to survive was to use it first. The problem was, he didn't know who to trust.

Finally, he met Lyra's gaze. "I need to know who else is in on this."

Lyra studied him for a long moment. Then, slowly, she nodded. "Then let's find out."
