Fractured Seconds

Jace Korran never asked for the power to manipulate time. It was thrust upon him during an experiment gone awry—a glitch in the fabric of reality itself. Now, as ChronoKid, Jace can jump backward and forward through time, revisiting moments just long enough to alter small details, adjust outcomes, or prevent minor disasters. His ability allows him to slip through fleeting windows of opportunity, avoiding danger or fixing mistakes with a simple thought. But these gifts come at a heavy cost. Every jump leaves ripples in the timeline—fragile threads that threaten to unravel the very fabric of his existence. Jace's mind is constantly fragmented, bits of past and future memories bleeding into the present, making it difficult to discern what is real. His hopeful, youthful demeanor masks a deep fear: the knowledge that each intervention could irrevocably damage reality or tear apart his own identity. He is driven by the desire to fix the world, but every attempt chips away at his own sense of self. Jace dreams of a future where his choices no longer haunt him, where time is a gift instead of a curse. But until then, he remains a guardian of fractured moments, searching for a way to heal the future without losing himself.
