Eras Edge.
The world held its breath when the Kairos Gene emerged. This rare mutation granted the ability to “time-tear,” a power as thrilling as it was deadly. Countless vanished in accidents, the truth hidden behind the chilling label of “missing persons.” Children, especially vulnerable, fueled rumors of dark conspiracies – abduction rings and elite cannibals.
The younger you were when the gene triggered, the higher the risk. This terrifying process, known as Chrysalis, pushed your developing body to its limit. But if you survived, you were born into a world anew.
The Tempus Imperium.
This multiversal governing body, born from the ashes of chaos, sought order. They helped those who mastered time-tearing, a power now known as “tessering.” Imagine moving through time and space at will, but at a terrible cost. Most who stumbled upon this ability on their own perished.
Ghost in the Watermelon.
A Temporal Marshal, a naval lieutenant, and the leader of the black ops group known as the Time Bandits Union or simply The Union. Corstrom is a name whispered with amusement and apprehension.
