In the year 2078, the world had advanced at an astonishing rate. While there were no flying cars, unlimited power, or colonies on Mars, the technological progress was so immense that the innovations of 2024 seemed as primitive as those of the medieval era. As humanity advanced, so did the universe. In 2055, a series of massive orbs appeared on Earth, at first it wasn't hostile , up until the year 2078, unleashing creatures known as Nephilim.

On our third wedding anniversary, I lit candles, cooked her favorite meal, and waited. She said she was working late. I went to surprise her. Instead, I found my wife walking into a hotel with another man—laughing, kissing—while I stood in the street like a fool. That night, I filed for divorce. The next day, her lover shoved me into traffic. The car should have killed me. Instead, I woke up with a power I can’t explain—five frozen seconds where the world stands still, and only I can move. Five seconds to expose a lie. Five seconds to ruin an enemy. Five seconds to make them choke on every ounce of humiliation they gave me. They took my love, my trust, and the life I built. Now I’m taking everything from them—slow enough that they’ll see it coming, and fast enough they can’t stop it. She betrayed me. They tried to bury me. But I’m not the man they remember. I’m the man they’ll regret ever crossing.

Torn between saving the woman he loves and preventing the destruction of time itself, Kael is forced to confront the most dangerous enemy imaginable — himself. In a collapsing timeline where love and reality blur, every second becomes a choice… and every choice could end the world.
