The Clock

A Divine Object that looms eternally in the sky, casting its silent shadow over every corner of the earth. No one remembers when it first appeared—only that it has always been there. And it ticks.

Once every ten years, the hand moves. With it, millions are randomly chosen and sent to another realm, forced to fight for their survival. These chosen few are known as Chronists—individuals granted supernatural abilities by the Clock itself.

Jack has always been seen as a misfit—an odd boy with a strange way of thinking. After a life-changing accident, he finds himself shuffled between psychiatrists, as his parents search for answers they can’t seem to find.

But everything changes the day a mysterious woman appears before him.

From that moment on, Jack's life begins to unravel—and so does his place in a world far stranger than he ever imagined.

Walking out of the storage, Jack made his way back to the main hall. Evelyn was already waiting, arms folded, her sharp gaze fixed on the crowd still pressing against the gates. The protests had grown louder, the shouting angrier. Soldiers moved frantically to hold the line, their attempts to calm the mob useless against the rising tide of fear and panic. The bunker was a storm waiting to break.


"Are you ready?" Jack asked, his voice steady, cutting through the noise like a blade.
