Rihan had always felt that time was his enemy—minutes slipping away, hours lost, life moving too fast. But one night, under a blood-red moon, he discovered that time itself obeyed him.
At first, it was small things—a glass he dropped froze in midair, a racing heartbeat slowed, shadows stretched unnaturally long.
It felt like a gift. Rihan used it to win arguments, escape danger, even excel in exams. But soon, danger followed him. People began noticing the impossible events. Shadows whispered his name in dark alleyways. And worst of all, someone—or something—knew about his power.
His trusted friend, Selara, betrayed him. She wanted the power for herself, craving control over reality, and she would stop at nothing to take it. Rihan barely escaped her trap, his new powers strained by fear and anger.
As days passed, he realized the power wasn't just about stopping or slowing time—it allowed him to see possible futures, the fragile threads connecting choices and consequences. But with every interference, reality itself trembled. Too much meddling could unravel the world.
Rihan had to master the power—not for glory or revenge—but to protect reality and the secrets hidden in the threads of time. Alone, hunted, and unsure whom to trust, he trained in the hidden corners of the city, learning to bend time without breaking it.
And when Selara returned, more cunning and cruel than ever, Rihan finally understood: the power didn't make him invincible. It made him responsible. And only by embracing the weight of time itself could he survive—and keep the world intact.
