John is a man trapped in the ultimate nightmare—a time loop spanning 100 billion years. In the beginning, he does what anyone would: he tries to understand, tries to escape. But as the years stretch into eternity, madness takes hold. He turns to crime, indulging in chaos to break the monotony. But nothing sticks; each new day resets the loop, erasing his actions and leaving him as empty as before.
Desperate, John dedicates centuries to learning everything—mastering skills, manipulating power, and diving into the darkest corners of human knowledge. Yet even with infinite wisdom, the loop remains unbroken. As his mind begins to fracture under the weight of all he knows, John stumbles into an unexpected moment: an encounter with a stranger, a girl who seems different. She delivers a simple line that shakes his world—one that hints at the possibility of something real in a world gone mad.
In a novel blending showbiz, crime, and the supernatural, A Century of Shadows follows John’s journey through madness, mastery, and despair as he fights to break free from an unrelenting, timeless prison.
