Synopsis

Book Summary: Time Loop Bank In a world where time is the ultimate currency, the Time Loop Bank controls the most powerful resource known to humanity—the ability to borrow, trade, and manipulate time itself. Those who are wealthy extend their lives indefinitely, while the desperate gamble their futures for a fleeting second chance. Ethan Carter, once known as Caleb in the underworld, wakes up in a hidden facility after a near-fatal betrayal. His former identity, erased. His past, buried. But the one thing he cannot escape is the debt that binds him to the system. He once thought he was playing the game, but now he realizes he was just another piece on the board. As Ethan unravels the truth behind the Time Loop Bank, he discovers a conspiracy that stretches far beyond crime syndicates and corrupt officials. The elite aren’t just buying time—they’re rewriting history, shaping reality itself. And at the center of it all is a hidden force manipulating the flow of time for its own agenda. Armed with stolen data and pursued by those who would rather see him dead than let the truth out, Ethan must navigate a world where every second counts. He is no longer just a survivor—he is the only person who can break the cycle. But to do so, he must outplay the system, confront the ones who control time itself, and make the ultimate gamble: risk everything or be erased from existence. Themes: • Time as Currency: The book explores a world where time is traded like money, and those who control it dictate reality. • Power and Corruption: The elite manipulate time to maintain control, while the desperate are forced into impossible choices. • Identity and Survival: Ethan must shed his past and redefine himself to escape the system that has already written his fate. • Conspiracy and Rebellion: The deeper he digs, the more he realizes that even time itself is being rewritten to serve an unseen force. Genre: A blend of cyberpunk, sci-fi thriller, and high-stakes conspiracy, Time Loop Bank is a story of survival, deception, and the fight for control in a world where the future is up for sale.

Chapter 1The Terms of Time

The air inside the Time Loop Bank felt heavy, as though it carried the weight of unseen forces pressing against Ethan's chest. The timer on the woman's tablet ticked down relentlessly.

00:00:20

"You're not serious," Ethan said, voice tight. "You expect me to believe that I signed a contract from the future?"

The woman—her name tag read Avery Vale, Senior Account Specialist—remained poised, her expression unreadable.

"Believe what you will," she replied. "But the terms are binding. Your future self has secured this loan, and now you must uphold the agreement."

Ethan's gaze darted to the holographic contract floating before him.

Time Loan Agreement

Borrower: Ethan Carter

Loan Amount: 50 Years

Remaining Lifespan (Post-Loan): 10 Years

Repayment Due: Indefinite

Failure to Repay Will Result in Immediate Repossession of All Remaining Time

His stomach twisted.

Ten years left? He was thirty-two. That meant he wouldn't live past forty-two unless he… what? Paid back the time?

"This has to be a mistake," he said again, but there was no panic in his voice now—just cold calculation.

Avery lifted a manicured brow. "Time transactions do not produce errors."

The countdown continued.

00:00:10

Ethan's mind spun. If this was real—if he had somehow borrowed fifty years—then how could he possibly repay it?

He had no inheritance. No secret wealth. No idea what the hell was happening.

His fingers curled into fists. "And if I refuse?"

Avery exhaled softly, as though she had been expecting the question. She tapped a button on the tablet.

The floor beneath them shifted, the marble seeming to liquefy into an abyss of golden sands. The hourglass above them reversed, its grains moving upward, time itself unraveling.

All around them, the world flickered, distorted. Shadows stretched unnaturally, and Ethan felt something—something pulling at him, tightening around his ribs, his skin, his very existence.

A cold realization washed over him.

This wasn't a metaphor. This wasn't a threat.

If he defaulted on the loan, he wouldn't just lose years—he would cease to exist.

His breath hitched.

00:00:03

His pulse hammered against his skull.

00:00:02

His instincts screamed at him to run, to fight, to—

00:00:01

"I'll sign," he said.

The moment the words left his mouth, the pressure around him vanished. The world snapped back into place. The hourglass above them froze, the sands settling into perfect stillness.

Avery smiled. "Wise choice."

Binding the Contract

A holographic stylus materialized in front of him. Ethan hesitated for a fraction of a second before grasping it.

The moment the stylus touched the contract, heat seared through his fingertips. He gritted his teeth as golden symbols spiraled from his hand, burning into the glowing text.

His signature appeared, not just on the paper, but in the air itself, etched into the very fabric of time.

The contract was sealed.

Ethan's body sagged. He had just signed away fifty years of his life.

Avery tapped her tablet. The holographic display shifted again.

"Congratulations, Mr. Carter. You are now an official time debtor."

A metallic bracelet materialized around his wrist. It was sleek, black, with an embedded clock face that glowed faintly.

Ethan Carter

Time Remaining: 10 Years

Debt: 50 Years

Interest Accrued Daily: 1 Month Per Day

Ethan's stomach twisted again.

"Wait—'Interest Accrued'?" His voice was sharp.

Avery tilted her head slightly. "Yes. The standard agreement includes interest, of course. For every twenty-four hours that pass, one month is deducted from your remaining lifespan."

His blood ran cold.

That meant he had barely four months before he ran out of time.

"What kind of insane—"

Avery sighed, as if she had heard this reaction before. "Time loans are not for the faint of heart, Mr. Carter. However, there are ways to earn time to offset your debt."

She gestured to another floating screen.

Time Repayment Methods

1. Time Market Trading – Buy and sell seconds, minutes, and hours to make a profit.

2. Contract Work – Complete specialized time-based tasks assigned by the bank.

3. High-Risk Time Wagers – Participate in time betting, wagering years against future events.

4. Debt Transfers – Negotiate your debt onto someone else—at a cost.

Ethan forced himself to focus. His survival depended on figuring this out.

The bank wasn't going to simply take the years and leave him to die.

No, they were going to let him fight for it.

"Where do I start?" he asked, jaw clenched.

Avery's lips curled into something like approval.

"That depends, Mr. Carter. How much are you willing to risk?"

OLD-WORLD EXTRA

{Check out my new novel, Misunderstood Villain: Heroines Mourn My Death} 'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero. Villain.} *Expect this novel to start slowly; it begins ramping up at the halfway point of volume 1. *The Magic System is introduced at the end of volume 1, read my review and Auxiliary chapter for more on that. *Warning: The main characters have emotions like proper humans. So don't expect your usual emo kid as the MC and come complaining later.

Intergalactic conquest with an AI

Rex was just another slave in the corporate machine, a faceless office worker under the shadow of one of the galaxy's powerful megacorps. His life was predictable and dull, an endless cycle of meaningless reports and fluorescent-lit monotony. That was, until that day.... When a new world was discovered on the outskirts of the galaxy, Rex, like countless other low-ranking employees, found himself dragged into a contract clause he’d barely skimmed years ago. The megacorp ordered him and his coworkers to pack their lives into a transport pod and leave for the unexplored planet. Their mission? Establish a colony. Mine resources. Make the company richer. There was no choice, refusing meant ruin. At first, everything seemed manageable. The days were grueling, the nights cold, but progress was steady. The colony was coming to life. Until the excavation team struck something. No one knew what it was at first, a buried hive, a forgotten ecosystem, or something ancient and dangerous. Whatever it was, it unleashed hell. Swarms of enormous, chittering creatures erupted from the ground, their jagged bodies blotting out the sky. The colony fell into chaos. Screams echoed through the air as the bugs tore through everything in their path, walls, machines, and people. Rex barely survived. Bloodied, broken, and pinned beneath the rubble, he should have died there. But in the pitch-black silence of his fading consciousness, a voice spoke to him. Cold. Mechanical. Otherworldly. "Do you wish to live?" When Rex woke, he was no longer the man he’d been. His body was no longer human flesh and bone but something far more alien. His skin shimmered with living metal, his mind infused with the power of Cleo, a mysterious AI from a long-extinct, robotic race known as the Kaelzars. Cleo’s presence pulsed through his thoughts, guiding him and transforming him. He wasn’t just alive. He was reborn. But survival came at a price. Rex was no longer a pawn of the megacorp; he was something more dangerous, something they couldn’t control. As Cleo’s intentions began to reveal themselves, Rex found himself standing on the precipice of war, not just with the bugs but with forces far greater than he could have imagined. This was the beginning of a journey through blood-soaked battlefields and treacherous alliances. Along the way, Rex would encounter allies, brilliant, flawed, and unpredictable, and enemies whose ambitions were as sharp as their blades. These weren’t disposable foes, easily crushed by an overpowered hero. They were cunning, relentless, and human in the most terrifying ways. But then again, in war, who can truly be called a villain?
