Time-stop Stories

Everyone lost three years. Branch lost six. The world wakes to find the earth carved open by a dungeon that should not exist, memories gone, and reality itself subtly misaligned. Thousands suddenly discover they are Circled, bearing tattoos on their faces that grant powers. These powers can only be increased by raising their total kill count. Branch's new power makes him a nightmare for the kill-farming Kaisers, but leaves him unable to enjoy anything, not food, not sex, not even a joke. He lives two seconds ahead of everything, two seconds removed from everyone, unable to experience physical pleasure or anticipation. The only thing he can still really feel is winning. By stepping out of time into a forgotten town that no longer exists, Branch can prepare, plan, and rearm before slipping back into the exact instant he left. In a world of monsters, relics, and broken physics, it makes him terrifyingly effective. It may also be the reason he is broken. He wants nothing more than to rid himself of his power, save the people of Haven, and find his father, trapped in the bowels of the dungeon. Sloane has her own concerns. Her sister is dying from a disease called the Glitch, and the only person who claims to have a cure is a madman deep inside the dungeon. She needs power, fast. The dungeon has everything they need. But something inside is watching. Learning. Adapting. And for the first time since the world changed, Branch is about to face something he cannot see coming. What to expect: An ability built around seeing the future, leaving the moment, and returning prepared Smart fights where planning matters more than raw power, though raw power matters too A protagonist who would give up his power if he could, and actively tries to A grounded, competent female lead Mystery, missing time, and something deeply wrong with reality Wins that feel earned, losses that hurt A slow build from survival to mastery

This is a diary written by a young boy. Read as mysteries get unsolved and problems get fixed. Read through his thoughts and his point of view. What will the boy do when time stops, enemies enter his world. All uncovered through his diary. His own little book. (New writer, slow updates, trash grammar, pic is found on google so credits to them)

In this world, everyone got a super power when they were kid, the world decided that Adam Skritz aka the King, shall receive the title of: the number 1 hero. But someone does not agree with it. He will show the world the true meaning of 'power' I'm not Britain or American, there may be grammatical errors

In another universe much like our own, a dark being is attempting to destroy the Universe and rewrite Reality! Its up to Rin Alder and his friends, alongside the self-proclaimed "Guardian of Reality," to stop this being, and save both their Universe and Reality! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is just an idea I wanted to try to work out. I'm not sure how far I'll go with this, but I would like to actually finish it. I'm also kind of using this to take a break from a separate story I'm working on, which I've been working on for a few years now, and I just need to work on something else to break it up, even if the result of that break makes no sense or is mediocre.
