Daniel Carter is an ordinary 16-year-old—or so he thought. When he moves to Igualada, Spain, to live with his uncle Mateo, he hopes for a fresh start: new school, new football team, and maybe even a chance at love. But his life takes a dangerous turn when he discovers he has a rare ability—the power to manipulate time perception.

As Daniel struggles to control his gift, he finds himself targeted by a secret organization that sees him as a threat. Meanwhile, he joins the Igualada junior football team, where his unpredictable powers interfere with his game, pushing him to the brink of exposure. With masked assassins on his trail, intense football tournaments to compete in, and the mysterious yet captivating Sofia capturing his heart, Daniel must learn to balance the life of a normal teenager with the deadly reality of his past.

Can he master his abilities before it’s too late? Or will the truth about his father’s past put everyone he loves in danger?

A thrilling mix of action, mystery, and romance, Daniel Carter: Time on the Run is a gripping coming-of-age story where every second counts.

Time on the Run

Daniel stood on the pitch, breathing heavily. Another win. Another step forward.

But there was no time to celebrate. As the team walked toward the locker room, Morales was already talking about the next match.

"We face CF Olesa next. They're aggressive and don't give space. Stay sharp."

Daniel wiped the sweat from his forehead. He barely had time to recover before another challenge.</strong>

Inside the locker room, Javi clapped Daniel on the back.

Just then, Coach Morales walked in, his expression serious.

"Listen up." He crossed his arms. "There are scouts watching this tournament. Perform well, and you'll get noticed."

Then Morales added, "And speaking of promotions—Sofia's been called up."

Daniel glanced at Miguel. They already knew, but hearing it from Morales made it feel real.

"She'll only be available when she's on break," Morales continued. "Use her while you can."

Daniel caught Sofia's eye from across the room. She gave him a small smile.

Later that evening, Daniel walked through the streets of Igualada with Miguel and Luis.

Shops were closing, but bars and cafés were still lively. TV screens showed highlights of Real Madrid's 3-2 victory over Manchester City.

Luis shook his head. "City should've defended better."

Daniel wasn't paying attention. His mind was elsewhere.

"Do you think we'll get promoted too?" he asked.

Miguel shrugged. "We keep winning, we have a chance."

Luis smirked. "Or we could just bribe Morales."

Daniel laughed, but deep down, the thought of a promotion made his chest tighten. He wanted it.

The next day, training was brutal. Morales pushed them hard, reminding them that only the best move forward.

During a drill, Daniel's time-perception flickered again. For a split second, he saw Miguel's next move before it happened.

He reacted instinctively, intercepting the ball.

And if he was getting stronger… then what about Elias?
