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

The transition to the Under-19s wasn't just about speed or strength—it was about survival. Every training session was a battle, and every mistake was magnified. Daniel, Miguel, Luis, and Sofia weren't the new kids anymore; they were expected to perform.

"Again!" Coach Martínez shouted as the team lined up for another round of intense sprints.

Daniel's legs burned, sweat dripping from his forehead. He wasn't the only one struggling—Miguel was breathing heavily, Luis had his hands on his knees, and even Sofia looked winded. But none of them dared to stop.

The senior players had already adapted. They weren't just training; they were fighting for their place in the starting lineup.

As they transitioned into small-sided games, Daniel knew this was where he had to shine.

Miguel received a pass and turned quickly, looking for an option. Daniel sprinted into space, and before his defender could react, Miguel sent a perfectly weighted pass into his path.

Daniel didn't hesitate—one touch to control, the next to shoot. The ball curled past the keeper and into the net.

The coach nodded. "Good movement, Daniel. But don't relax—next play."

The session continued at full intensity. Sofia was dominating in midfield, breaking up attacks and launching quick counters. Luis was showing his technical ability, weaving through defenders. Miguel was as sharp as ever, his vision opening up chances.

But Daniel could feel the difference. This wasn't the junior team anymore. There was no room for comfort.

As they wrapped up training, Coach Navarro gathered the players.

"The tournament starts soon," he reminded them. "If you want to play, you have to earn it. No excuses."

Daniel wiped his face with his jersey. Earn it? He was ready to.

Academia Igualada wasn't making life any easier. The workload had increased, and with exams approaching, Daniel found himself buried under assignments.

He sat in class, trying to focus on an English lesson. His teacher wrote on the board:

"The past perfect tense is used when..."

Daniel sighed, trying to follow along.

Sofia nudged him. "You look lost."

"Maybe," he admitted. "Football is taking up most of my time."
