Can a single second erase a lifetime? Elias was just an ordinary university student in Paris until a field trip to the Algerian Sahara changed everything. Buried beneath the endless sands, he found it: a mysterious, handless watch displaying a digital counter that never stops rising. It wasn't just a watch. It was a glitch in reality. Now, Elias discovers he can step between seconds, pausing the world to rewrite mistakes before they happen. But time is not a toy, and reality is fragile. With every "fix," the counter changes, and the world around him begins to fray. Memories distort, friends vanish, and a shadow from the future starts hunting him down. In a race against a clock that counts up instead of down, Elias must answer one terrifying question: Are you saving the future, or are you the reason it ends?
