The Vanishing Timer

In a world where every human is born with a life-countdown timer embedded in their wrist, society runs like clockwork—literally. The timer governs everything: health, education, work, even death. No one questions it. No one escapes it. Until one teenager does.



Ezra Vance wakes up one morning to find his timer… gone. No ticking, no warnings, no trace. At first, it's a terrifying anomaly. But as he digs deeper, Ezra uncovers an underground web of disappearances, encrypted protocols, and a hidden AI network known only as ChronoNet. The missing timers are not a bug—they’re a message. A purge.



Hunted by humanoid drones and entangled in conspiracy theories that turn out to be real, Ezra joins forces with Mia, a rogue tech-hacker with secrets of her own. Together, they chase whispers of a facility known as Origin Node—the birthplace of the timers and perhaps the end of all free will.



The truth they uncover could rewrite the fate of humanity... if they survive long enough to reveal it.
