The Chronowraith's Curse

In the sprawling metropolis of Neoterra, where futuristic technology coexists with ancient magic, a dark legend resurfaces — the Chronowraith's Curse. It's a phenomenon that bends time, trapping its victims in endless loops, reliving their worst moments over and over.

Cassius, a detective with a rational mind and a skeptic of the supernatural, confronts this curse firsthand when his younger sister disappears under mysterious circumstances. His search leads him to an enigmatic figure known as the Chronowraith, a being rumored to be a time-traveler cursed with the ability to distort reality.

As Cassius delves deeper into the city's shadowy underbelly, he encounters a hidden society of time mages, technological wizards who manipulate time through arcane devices. He learns of an ancient artifact, the Hourglass of Aeons, which holds the power to break the curse.

With the help of Liora, a time mage with her own reasons for hunting the Chronowraith, Cassius navigates through paradoxes and alternate timelines. Each step brings him closer to his sister, but also deeper into a web of intrigue and betrayal.

The journey to find the Hourglass leads Cassius to confront his skepticism and unravel the mystery of the Chronowraith's identity. He discovers that the curse is a punishment for a forgotten crime, one intertwined with his own family's history.

In a climactic showdown, Cassius and Liora face the Chronowraith in a battle that transcends time. As the Hourglass sands run low, Cassius must make a choice — to save his sister or uncover the truth behind the Chronowraith's curse, a decision that will alter the course of their lives forever.
