Jerney

In Time's Edge, Victorian inventor Jerney Hargrove defies the laws of nature by creating the Chrono Engine-a device meant to bend time itself. Hoping to save his lost family, Jerney activates the machine, only to be flung forward into a bleak cyberpunk future ruled by the ruthless Helix Corp. Trapped in a city of neon lights and corporate oppression, Jerney becomes an unexpected ally in a rebellion that seeks to overthrow Helix's control.

As he struggles to master this dangerous new world, Jerney discovers that his presence has set off a ripple effect, making him a target for both Helix and mysterious forces that want to control the timeline. With the help of a rogue street fighter named Max and a resistance leader named Nova, Jerney must harness his knowledge of time to survive and prevent Helix from weaponizing the Chrono Engine to reshape history. But the more he learns, the clearer it becomes: in this fractured future, time itself may be his greatest enemy.

Themes: Loss, power of invention, adapting to a new world, and the unintended consequences of trying to change the past.
