The Lord of Lost Hours

Aster was just a regular office worker—until he woke up in the body of a man everyone feared.



A killer.

A stranger.

Someone who should’ve been dead.



Now trapped in a broken world powered by gears, steam, and strange powers called Essence, Aster has to survive with a face that isn’t his, memories that aren’t real, and a clock that ticks slower every day.



The Timekeeper is gone.

The great Clocktower is falling apart.

And something is trying to break through the cracks in time.



Aster didn’t ask for any of this.

But he might be the only one left who can stop the end.



Even if it means becoming a monster to do it.
