Hourglass Base

The Chrono Detective

In Neo-Pandora, 2247 time is a fragile commodity. The invention of the Temporal Engine granted humanity glimpses into the past and future—but at a catastrophic cost. Reality itself has begun to unravel, splintering into fractured timelines that bleed into the present. Amidst the neon-lit chaos of this dystopian metropolis, Detective Elias Voss, a disgraced chrono-physicist turned private investigator, survives by solving cases tied to temporal anomalies. Haunted by a failed experiment that scarred him with the ability to see time’s fractures, Elias walks the razor’s edge between the past’s ghosts and the future’s shadows.  When Dr. Lila Kane, a desperate Temporal Institute scientist, begs for his help, Elias is thrust into a conspiracy that threatens to erase Neo-Pandora from existence. A rogue experiment has unleashed a time rift fueled by the Fractured Hourglass, a mythical artifact rumored to hold dominion over time itself. As Elias and Lila race to stop the rift, they uncover a chilling truth: the Hourglass is merely a fragment of the Chrono Core, an ancient power capable of rewriting history—or erasing it entirely.  But the Core’s secrets are guarded by shadowy forces. From the neon-drenched underworld to the Institute’s ivory towers, Elias confronts rogue time travelers, paradox-born monsters, and his own fractured memories. Every step closer to the Chrono Core warps reality further, forcing Elias to question what—or who—is truly real. As the rift consumes the city, he must decide whether to repair time… or shatter it to save humanity Will Elias Voss outrun the ghosts of his past, or will time itself become his greatest enemy?  The Chrono Detective is a high-stakes journey through a collapsing world where every second counts—and every choice could doom reality itself.

"The Scarlet Hourglass: A Love Rewritten"

"What if your greatest betrayal became your greatest blessing?" 35-year-old Yoo Ha-eun, who gave everything — her youth, love, money, and even her dreams — to her childhood sweetheart Jin Seo-woo, never imagined she’d be betrayed by the two people she trusted most. Catching Seo-woo and her best friend Min Ji-yoon in an intimate scene shattered her world. When Ha-eun demanded her properties and money back, Seo-woo’s mask dropped — and with it, so did she, from a cliff he pushed her off. As she plummeted, death seemed inevitable — until a glowing scarlet hourglass pendant, gifted long ago by a mysterious old woman, activated in her dying breath. Ha-eun awakens, gasping, not in the afterlife — but in her 18-year-old body, back to the first day of university — the day her fate had unknowingly started to spiral. Determined to rewrite her future, Ha-eun promises herself two things: never fall for Jin Seo-woo again, and take back everything she lost — her dreams, her self-worth, and her future. However, fate isn't done playing with her. Enter Kang Ji-hyun, a mysterious, arrogant, yet irresistibly charming millionaire CEO's son, with eyes like midnight and a secret tied to the scarlet hourglass. Ji-hyun, cold to everyone, finds himself unexpectedly drawn to Ha-eun’s strong, changed personality — a girl who remembers a future that hasn’t yet happened. What starts as a battle of wits and heart turns into an adventure filled with romance, comedy, fantasy, thrilling twists, family secrets, and dark truths — all while Ha-eun tries to dodge Seo-woo’s manipulation, Ji-yoon’s jealousy, and her own growing feelings for Ji-hyun. But time is ticking... the hourglass wasn’t just a gift — it was a curse. Can Ha-eun truly change her destiny, or is she only delaying the inevitable? Key Themes: Time Travel & Second Chances: Ha-eun's journey to undo the past and shape her future. Romantic Suspense: A new love, but with shadows of old betrayals lingering. Empowerment & Revenge: A woman who rises from the ashes of betrayal to reclaim her destiny. Fantasy & Mystery: Hidden secrets and twists that challenge everything she thought she knew.
