bunnies 30 seconds pulp fiction

A broke Filipino grocery worker survives a hit-and-run and wakes up with three seconds of foresight. To pay the hospital bill and keep his family fed, he sets out to bankrupt the casinos of Asia — slowly, quietly, one nosebleed at a time. But every second he spends is a second of his life, and somewhere out there, someone is keeping a list of people like him.Premise (back-of-book pitch): Aaron Reyes is twenty-three, a business graduate with no business prospects, working the graveyard shift at a 24-hour grocery in Quezon City. His father builds for other people. His mother washes other people's dishes. His baby brother is teething through nights nobody can afford. Then a car runs a red light, and Aaron wakes up in a hospital bed seeing the nurse walk through the door three seconds before she actually does. The gift is small. Three seconds. A nosebleed for every glimpse, a few seconds banked each day for later use. Useless for almost everything in life — except one thing: a casino card laid face down.

Time waits for no one. This a phrase that most of us have been hearing since our childhood but who would have guessed that an exception to this rule would also exist? In a world, where humans are fighting a battle of attrition against extraterrestrials, Andrey, a 17-year-old boy with not much to show for himself except his above-average grades gains a supernatural ability related to time. How would he use it? What will he encounter in his long and arduous journey? Stay tuned for the answers.

In a world ruled by strength, dungeons, and awakened abilities, 16-year-old Kairo is mocked as an E-Rank—the lowest of the low. His only power? Vaultspace: a mysterious dimension where ten days pass for every second in the real world. Useless, they called it. But they were wrong. Inside Vaultspace, time is Kairo’s weapon. With no trainers, no shortcuts, and no applause, he begins the impossible training alone in a timeless void, punching through his limits one second at a time. As the outside world blazes with rising threats, legendary hunters, and ancient awakenings, Kairo quietly prepares to shatter fate itself. This is not the story of a chosen one. It’s the story of a boy who *chose* to become legendary.

What if you could see the future — just long enough to change it? Leon Vale was never meant to be a star. Too average. Too quiet. Just another benchwarmer with a dream far bigger than his stats. Until one brutal tackle during a rainy school match leaves him unconscious — and awakens something extraordinary. A mysterious system called PlaySight activates inside his mind, granting him a seven-second glimpse into the future during play. Alongside it comes a stat board tracking his every move — speed, stamina, dribbling, passing — each with the power to grow. But the System only rewards those who take risks, face fear, and push beyond their limits. Now, thrown into elite competitions, rivalries, and the twisted politics of youth football, Leon must learn to master his power before it consumes him. With teammates he barely trusts, a coach who doubts his worth, and a rising enemy who plays not just for goals — but domination — Leon’s journey from unknown to unstoppable has only just begun. Because on this pitch, talent isn't enough. You have to outthink the game itself.

Lucas Vale can freeze time—but he can’t escape it. What began as a teenage-panic miracle has become an adrenaline addiction: five-minute “chrono-pauses,” razor-fine telekinesis, and surface-thought telepathy that let Lucas walk between the seconds and nudge fate for fun … or profit. But when a casino heist in Macau lights up surveillance feeds around the world, the hunter becomes the hunted. Enter the Curators, a shadow syndicate armed with anti-chrono tech and a chilling ultimatum: join, vanish, or be dissected.
