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

Akane had no idea what Zhang Heng was up to tonight.

Before he left, all he said to her was, "Going to work. Don't leave any food for me," before he walked out of the dojo with his sword.

Akane thought it was just the regular affair since Zhang Heng had gone out for work a couple of times before, though not often, so this time should not be any different.

The fact was, she did not have the capacity to worry about such things right now. Ever since their trip to the temple, her feelings towards Zhang Heng had changed. She did not know what it was, or perhaps she had an inkling of what it was, yet unwilling to admit it.

Women's minds were as murky as the reflection of the full moon on the water.
