Timeless High: The Paradox Chronicle

At Timeless High, a prestigious academy that straddles the line between modern-day and future technology, Kaiya Monroe discovers that her family’s wealth and influence come from an unimaginable secret: time travel. When a mysterious time-altering project, known as The ChronoProject, begins to unravel, Kaiya finds herself at the center of a web of betrayal, love, and an ancient conspiracy that has been hidden for generations.

Teaming up with her childhood friend, Liam Cross, they must navigate the complexities of time itself — from rewriting the past to ensuring the future doesn’t collapse on itself. But their journey is not without complications. Loyalties are tested, romances bloom in the midst of chaos, and dangerous alliances form as they uncover truths about their families' deep involvement in the manipulation of history.

As they race against time, Kaiya and Liam must uncover the Paradox Chronicle, a mythical text that holds the key to unraveling the threads of time, before a rival corporation can seize control of it and rewrite history in their own image.

With betrayals, forbidden romances, action-packed twists, and time-bending adventures, Timeless High: The Paradox Chronicle explores what happens when the past, present, and future collide — and the cost of trying to change the unchangeable.

Location: Beneath Timeless High — Sublevel Z, Lux Core Chamber.


The air was electric—literally. Sparks crackled from the walls of the hidden sublevel, lighting the dark corridor with flickers of gold and blue. Ancient tech lined the tunnel—gears turning with no engine, cables pulsing like veins.


Kaiya stared ahead, her heart pounding. "This place… it's alive."


Nova nodded grimly. "It's not just controlling time. It's feeding off of it. Every memory, every rewrite, every broken version of us—it's all stored down here."


They reached a set of doors. Cold, matte black. No handles. Just a screen glowing with four names:


"It needs all four of us to open it," Nova whispered. "Even Dylan."


Kaiya stepped forward and placed her hand on her name. Liam and Adrien followed.


The doors slid open with a seismic groan, revealing a massive chamber. Floating above a glowing pool of memory data was the Lux Core—a golden sphere made of gears, light, and glass panels spinning at impossible angles.


But something was off. His body was flickering. Not corrupted—fractured.


"I didn't know it would do this," he said, voice strained. "Lux promised control. But it just… rewrote me. Again and again until I didn't know what version I was anymore."


Kaiya took a cautious step forward. "Then shut it down with us. We still can."


He looked up. "I can't. I am part of the Core now. I'm the final failsafe. If you destroy it… I vanish. Forever."


Nova looked at Kaiya. "This is your choice. You can save him… or save the world."


Liam's voice cracked. "Kaiya, we don't have time—"


Adrien unsheathed his sword. "He chose this path."


Kaiya closed her eyes. Memories flashed—of laughing with Dylan in the library, of time loops, of betrayal, of hope.


Tears welled in Dylan's eyes. "I wish I could've been better."


She reached for the Core. Her fingers hovered over its heart. A whisper echoed through the chamber:


Kaiya breathed deeply—then made her choice.
