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

Ethan Carter opened his eyes. A dull, sterile white ceiling stretched above him, bright yet lifeless. His body ached, a slow, pulsing pain radiating from his side and shoulder. He tried to move, but the effort sent a sharp jolt through his limbs, forcing him still. He wasn't dead. But he wasn't free either.

A mechanical hiss filled the room as a door slid open. Footsteps, deliberate and controlled, echoed against the cold tile. A figure stepped into view, dressed in a dark suit, movements precise. Ethan blinked, forcing his vision to focus. The man pulled a chair closer and sat without urgency, his gaze assessing. "You're awake."

Ethan swallowed, his throat dry, words slow to form. "Where am I?" His voice was rough, like he hadn't spoken in days. Maybe he hadn't.

The man tilted his head slightly. "Somewhere safe. For now." He reached into his jacket, pulling out a thin tablet. A flick of his fingers, and a series of glowing data streams filled the screen. "You've been unconscious for forty-eight hours. Your vitals were unstable when we recovered you."

Ethan's fingers curled into the fabric beneath him. "Recovered?" The last thing he remembered was pain, the sharp sting of betrayal, the weight of finality pressing down on him. Dante. The warehouse. The gunshot. And then—nothing.

The man studied him carefully, then set the tablet aside. "You were left to die, Ethan. But some people saw value in keeping you alive." His lips quirked slightly. "You should be flattered."

Ethan forced himself upright, ignoring the fresh wave of pain. His mind was still sluggish, but the edges were sharpening. The name Caleb meant nothing anymore. It was a disguise, a mask that had been stripped away. He was Ethan Carter. And someone had decided that was worth something.

His voice steadied. "Who are you?"

The man exhaled, folding his hands together. "That depends on how you answer my next question." He leaned forward, his expression unreadable. "Do you want to live, Ethan?"

The room was silent. The weight of the question settled between them, heavy and unavoidable. Ethan didn't blink. "I wouldn't have woken up if I didn't."

The man smiled faintly. "Good." He tapped the screen of his tablet again, the data shifting into something else. A list. Names. Dates. Transactions. Ethan's gaze flickered over them, recognition sparking. Some names he knew. Others were new. But all of them meant one thing.

The man stood, straightening his jacket. "Then let's get started."
