Alex Carter was just an ordinary 17-year-old—until the night everything changed. After a chance encounter in a dark alley, he discovers an impossible power: the ability to manipulate time. But with great power comes deadly consequences.

When a dangerous criminal organization known as The Shadow Syndicate learns of Alex’s abilities, they send their most lethal enforcers after him. Pyre, a mercenary with fire-based powers. Echo, a master of sonic destruction. Nightmare, a psychic who can turn his victims’ worst fears into reality. And at the top of it all—Zero, the ruthless leader who possesses the ability to erase anything from existence.

With his world spiraling out of control, Alex must train alongside unexpected allies: Evelyn, a genius hacker with telekinesis, and Marcus, a street brawler with superhuman strength. Together, they uncover a plot that threatens to rewrite reality itself.

As the battles grow fiercer and the stakes higher, Alex realizes his powers may be the key to stopping Zero—but using them comes at a cost. With time running out, he must master his abilities, face his greatest fears, and make an impossible choice.

Because if he fails, time itself may shatter… and the world will fall with it.

Timelock

The man in the golden cloak—his older self—stood before him.

The same face. The same eyes. But stronger. Wiser. And… different.

Jax pointed. "NOPE. NOPE. TIME PARADOX. TOO CONFUSING. I'M OUT."

Evelyn elbowed him. "Shut up, I wanna hear this."

Alex finally found his voice. "Who—what—how?"

Chronos smirked. "You already know what I am. I'm you. Just… a little further down the timeline."

Alex shook his head. "That's impossible."

Chronos shrugged. "Says the guy who stops time."

Jax threw up his hands. "HE MAKES A FAIR POINT."

Lessons from the Future

Lillian frowned. "If you're Alex from the future, why are you here?"

Chronos's smirk faded.

Alex tensed. "Why? What does he want?"

Chronos sighed. "You don't get it yet. Subject Zero isn't just a threat."

His golden cloak shifted in the wind.

"He's a mistake. Our mistake."

Alex's breath caught. "Wait. Are you saying—"

The Truth About Subject Zero

The words hit like a truck.

Alex shook his head. "No. That doesn't make sense."

Chronos crossed his arms. "It does if you understand the future."

He paced, glancing at the burning wreckage behind them.

"In my time, we thought we could use time itself as a weapon. We tried to build the ultimate warrior—someone who could control all of time's abilities. But we underestimated him."

Alex clenched his fists. "And now he wants to kill me."

"He doesn't want to kill you, Alex."

Alex hesitated. "Then what does he want?"

Jax blinked. "OKAY, NEW FEAR UNLOCKED."

Evelyn muttered, "That's actually worse than I expected."

Lillian stepped forward. "So if we created him, how do we stop him?"

Chronos sighed. "The same way I did in my timeline."

"You have to become stronger. Faster. Smarter."

Alex squared his shoulders. "Then teach me."

Chronos smiled. "That's the plan."

A portal opened, glowing golden.

Alex hesitated. Then—he stepped forward.

Jax crossed his arms. "Cool. Time travel boot camp. This definitely won't break my brain."

Then, they vanished into the portal.
