Summary
'Inspired by the movie "In Time", where humans and mutants stop aging between 25 and 40, but are required to earn more time in order to survive.
"Living Time", which can be transferred among individuals, has replaced money and its availability is displayed on an implant on people's lower arm. When that clock reaches zero, one dies instantly. A fast and easy way to earn extra Time is to play chess against each other; the winner wins time from the loser.
When Charles and Erik first meet, they decide to bet all their Time to see which one's beliefs are right - Charles hates that mutants use their powers in chess games against humans and "cheat", while Erik thinks "the better men" should survive. A match to death can be paused at any time and be continued within a year; and while they are playing, the inevitable happens - they fall in love, despite knowing that at the end of the year one of them will have to die.'Basically a lot of angsty schmoop and crying in a World War III world where the governments' attempts to ease the mutants - humans relationship went horribly wrong. Aka how corruption, money and dubious morality destroy personal happiness - Just like the real world.

Summary
When Charles sees the dragon on his balcony, he suspects that he's losing his mind. When he starts hearing voices, he's certain of it, and the realization that magic is real is little comfort when these newfound abilities threaten to destroy his life. He has no choice but to accept his enigmatic neighbor's offer of training in exchange for a promise - that he will repay that favor, when asked to.
Like many promises in the world of magic, however, this turns out to have unexpected consequences.
