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

It only took Zhang Heng five days to get the Menju certificate from Koyama Myoshin-Ryū. The speed of Zhang Heng's progress made Akane speechless. Judging by his skills, there was no reason for her not to give him the certificate. So from today onward, Zhang Heng could tell anyone that he was a disciple of Koyama Myoshin-Ryū.

He was in a good mood. And it happened that Gabriel had a gathering with a merchant group today. In other words, Zhang Heng was free for the whole day. Recently, neither the Choshu Domain samurai nor Shinsengumi made any moves, making it difficult for Zhang Heng to figure out what they were up to.

Although the dojo was still not improving, Akane, as the host, was very satisfied with her current life. However, for Zhang Heng, the current situation was different from what he expected. It was not a big deal for him. Since there was no one here to cause trouble, he could take the initiative to make some.
