Chrono Bound
In a fractured world where the flow of time is both unpredictable and dangerous, societies struggle to adapt to the phenomena known as chronal distortions. These anomalies warp reality, leaving cities in temporal limbo, freezing people in endless loops, or accelerating life spans without warning. The origins of these disturbances lie within the ancient Chrono Protocol, a mysterious system that grants rare individuals the ability to control time itself. However, every gift comes at a cost: wielding time demands immense focus and sacrifices, threatening the user’s life and sanity.
Elior is a young, unassuming man living on the fringes of a decaying empire, just one of many caught in the world’s ever-twisting timeline. His life feels aimless, repetitive, and stagnant—until one night, he experiences an eerie temporal glitch. Shortly after, he receives an unexpected message: he has been chosen by the Chrono Protocol. Initially, Elior dismisses it as a prank, but strange abilities soon emerge. These abilities, the core of the Chrono Bloom, allow him to alter localized time zones—speeding, slowing, or even freezing moments around him. With little guidance and great risk, Elior begins his journey, discovering that time is far more volatile and costly than he could have imagined.
