Growing up with eccentric materialistic parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.

48 Hours a Day

The night was uneventful. Since Evil Scientist was only going to open the space portal in the afternoon the next day, everyone decided to sleep in. The bald man and the waiter wanted to bring Vandal King out for some team building, getting him to cozy up with them and all, but before they could even step through the door, Messenger caught them sneaking about. The three had no choice but to return to their rooms.

Zhang Heng woke at ten in the morning and made breakfast for everyone. At twelve in the afternoon, Mei Nan and Messenger returned after going out to assess the situation. The other three also came out of their respective rooms. When they had finished their meal, Zhang Heng started a meeting to discuss their strategies.
