ChronoCore: A World Bought in Seconds

In the towering cityscape of ChronoCore, time isn’t just precious — it is money. Every heartbeat counts, every second is a currency. Citizens are born with a clock on their wrist, ticking down from their first breath. Work to earn more time. Spend it to survive. When your clock hits zero… you die. The wealthy live for centuries in sky-high luxury. The poor scrape by with minutes to their name. Gangs, hackers, and corporations all fight for control over the flow of time. Whispers speak of a rogue coder known only as "Zero", who may hold the key to unlimited time — or instant death.
