Chasing Time: Vol. 1 ntroduces Aaron, a young boy tormented by the mysterious death of his brother, Aamon. Abandoned by his parents, who blame him for the tragedy, Aaron's life takes a dark turn when a talking rabbit appears, offering him a stopwatch with the power to manipulate time. Though the gift grants him incredible abilities, it comes with a grave consequence-using it will eventually erase him from the timeline.
Determined to uncover the truth behind Aamon's death, Aaron plunges into a dangerous world of time manipulation. Along the way, he encounters Aika, a former candidate for the title of 'Time Warden,' trapped in the time world and driven mad by the loss of her sister. Her destructive quest to control time puts her on a collision course with Aaron as she begins to erase memories and shatter timelines in her path.
With his growing power and the help of his loyal friend Luna, Aaron faces impossible choices-battle Aika to protect the timeline or risk everything to save those he loves. As the clock ticks down, the lines between friend and enemy blur, leading to a heart-wrenching finale where Aaron and Aika both meet a tragic end.
In this first Volume of Chasing Time, sacrifice and fate intertwine as Aaron discovers that the greatest power comes with the greatest price.
