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

Kirino Toshiaki knew that the soldiers protecting Shinsaku Takasugi were no match for Okita Soji. Still, when the guy on the roof appeared, he no longer had the energy to stop the Shinsengumi guy.

Zhang Heng's presence alone had placed him under tremendous pressure.

Kirino Toshiaki could not remember the last time he felt this tense. Even the slightest distraction amid the ensuing fight might cost his life.

On top of that, he was also a little nonplussed that he met two of "his own kind" on the same night.

Never mind the Shinsengumi; vassals of the Bafuku, who had been chasing down and killing anti-bafuku samurai—even Kido Takayoshi nearly lost his life in the Ikedaya Incident. Sure, Okita Soji was still young, but he was the Shinsengumi's best swordsman—he couldn't have spilled less blood than Kirino Toshiaki. The other person, on the other hand… The name Yuta Abe was unknown to Kirino Toshiaki.
