Yes, that title is meant to be a time pun (I tried lol)
I may have joked about the automatic five star because of the villain development but in all seriousness, this story was full of life that...
In the late 1800s, humanity unlocked Chrono Energy—a force that could bend time itself. This discovery, powered by the rare mineral Tempusite, reshaped the world but also unleashed chaos. Nations fought to control it, triggering the Great Chrono War, a conflict so destructive it fractured reality and nearly erased all of humanity.
Now, in 2129, survivors have rebuilt highly technological cities like Neotera, where Chrono Energy is tightly regulated by the elite force of the Chrono Knights. Their mission: to guard time and prevent history from repeating itself.
Jessie Valis, son of a disgraced scientist whose experiments nearly tore the timeline apart, is a new Chrono Knight determined to restore his family’s name. But as he faces rogue manipulators and illegal tech, Jessie begins to unravel a dark conspiracy that threatens to upend the fragile future.
Will Jessie and the Chrono Knights be able to preserve the timeline, or is time itself slipping out of their control?
