Dragon Who Controls Time

Joaquin Mercado gave everything to his family. He worked double shifts, skipped meals, and loved his daughter Bea more than his own life. So when a massive solar storm plunged the Philippines into darkness and the food finally ran out, he gave them his last can of sardines. Seventy-four days after the sky burned, his wife Trina opened the door to his boss, Lorenzo Salcedo. As Joaquin bled on the kitchen floor, the daughter he had raised for eight years ran into Lorenzo's arms and called him *Papa*. Then Trina whispered her final words to him: at least tonight, he would finally be useful to the family. Joaquin wakes up in his own bed in Quezon City with the fan humming, the lights on, and a calendar that reads one hundred days before the storm. This time, he remembers everything. He plays the loyal husband while quietly gathering proof: a DNA test showing zero percent paternity, photos of Trina and Lorenzo entering Room 1408 of a BGC hotel, and nine years of lies. But when an anonymous message warns him to stop digging, Joaquin realizes someone is watching his every move. So he strikes first. At his grandmother's eightieth birthday, in front of the entire Mercado clan and Lorenzo himself, he exposes everything. He files for annulment, walks away from the house and the savings, and quits his job without taking a single peso. His family calls him a fool. Only his Lola sees the truth: he has finally woken up.

They burned his house, broke his bloodline, and buried the truth in ice for a hundred years. Evander Vornic was never supposed to inherit anything — not the title, not the power, not the war. But when the Empire's soldiers slaughter his family on the night of his dragon binding ceremony, a dying hand forces an ancient ice dragon's bond onto him. Now it's killing him slowly, freezing him from the inside, and the only cure lies buried in the heart of the empire that wants him dead. To survive, Evander must become someone else entirely, earn the trust of the very people who destroyed everything he loved, and steal back the knowledge to save his own life. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes his family wasn't the first. And somewhere beyond the edge of the living world, a trapped dragon god has been waiting a hundred years for someone strong enough to free it...or wield it. Revenge will cost him everything and power will cost him more. And when an empire's oldest sin comes due, Evander will have to choose: become the weapon they always feared, or break the cycle that made monsters of them all. The ice remembers. So does the dragon. And neither one forgives easily.

Three years after civilization collapsed, Ethan Carter has learned one brutal truth: The apocalypse didn't destroy humanity. Humanity destroyed itself. While escaping a ruined city, Ethan discovers an underground facility containing a strange device capable of transmitting fragments of future events. Before he can understand it, the facility is attacked. Ethan dies. But instead of darkness, he opens his eyes in his own apartment. His phone shows the date. Seventy-two hours before the world ends. At first, Ethan thinks he's been given a second chance. Then he discovers something impossible. He remembers the people who survived the apocalypse. Not hundreds. Not thousands. Exactly 37 people. And every one of them played a role in shaping the new world. Some became heroes. Some became monsters. Some became rulers. And some betrayed everyone who trusted them. Ethan knows their names. He knows where they will be when the disaster begins. He knows which ones must be saved... And which ones must never be allowed to survive. But there is one problem. In his memories, Ethan Carter was not one of the 37 survivors. He died on the first night. Now he has only 72 hours to change his fate.

She looks at him and whispers: "You came back too." Ethan freezes. Someone else remembers the future. And she knows something he doesn't. The apocalypse isn't supposed to happen in 72 hours. It's supposed to happen tonight.

Raised like a servant and mocked by everyone, he endured endless humiliation while his relatives treated him as less than human. On the day of the Beast-Taming Awakening Ceremony, the family publicly disowns him. “Your mother ran away and left behind garbage,” his cousin John sneers. “Someone like you will probably awaken a cockroach.” The crowd laughs.
