Loopbound Soldier

The campus shield exploded around Callum Ash, crushing eight hundred students—and then he woke up in his dorm room to the sound of his roommate drawing the same forbidden summoning circle. A former Army signals soldier, Callum knows how to track patterns, survive ambushes, and trust no one. But every reset reveals a new death, a new passage, and a voice in the hallway calling his missing mother’s name—while the enemy has already lived through thousands of loops. With only the forbidden-archive keeper Vera Sun willing to help and his innocent roommate unknowingly serving as the experiment’s trigger, Callum must decide who to save before the day ends again. Because the man controlling the loop knows Callum is remembering—and if Callum can’t break it this time, he’ll have to choose between saving the academy and discovering why his mother was sacrificed.
