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 scanned the list, his pulse steady but his mind racing. Dozens of names. People marked as anomalies, just like him. Some had timestamps next to them. Some were already gone.

Lyra's voice was tight. "How many of these people are still alive?"

The man didn't answer immediately. He tapped a few keys, filtering the data. Half the names flickered red—erased. The remaining names had a countdown beside them. Hours. Days. The longest one had a week.

Ethan clenched his jaw. "They're accelerating the process."

The man nodded. "Project Requiem was reinstated under Directive Zero. No more experiments. No more studying. Just erasure. Permanent, without possibility of reentry."

Lyra's fingers curled near her weapon. "So why did they wait this long to finish it?"

The man exhaled. "Because you, Ethan, were an outlier. Every time they erased you, you came back. And you weren't the only one."

Ethan's gaze snapped to him. "Who else?"

The man hesitated. Then he pulled up a single file. One name. One record.

Ethan's breath slowed. Cassandra Voss.

Lyra inhaled sharply. "That's… Malik's sister."

Ethan didn't blink. Malik had never talked about family. Most people in the syndicate assumed he had none. But Cassandra's name was here. And her status wasn't red. She was still alive.

The man's voice was even. "She was the first anomaly."

Ethan processed that in silence. If she had survived, if she had found a way to escape, then she knew more than anyone else. She had answers.

Lyra crossed her arms. "Where is she?"

The man hesitated. "That's the problem. She disappeared three years ago. No traces. No loops detected. Nothing. The Time Loop Bank marked her as unresolved."

Ethan frowned. "Then why is she still on the list?"

The man's expression darkened. "Because three days ago, someone accessed her file from inside the Time Loop Bank."

The weight of those words settled over them. If Cassandra was still alive, then she was hiding for a reason. And if someone inside the system was looking for her, it meant they had found something.

Lyra's voice was sharp. "And if they find her?"

The man's reply was cold. "She'll be erased. Completely."

Ethan exhaled, his decision already made. "Then we find her first."
