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

Almost twenty days had passed since Zhang Heng entered this dungeon. He had challenged many dojos and learned many skills from them. Now, he could switch between sword techniques according to the circumstance. However, during life and death situations, people would still choose to rely on their instincts.

Here, Zhang Heng's instinct was the swordsmanship he learned from the Black Sail quest. Honed by fighting with other pirates as a pirate for ten years, the so-called Annie-ryu was actually a sword technique that did not belong to any sect. It relied solely on combat instinct and experience.

After Zhang Heng's katana broke off, he took the initiative to get closer to Kirino Toshiaki, hoping to narrow the gap between them. The battle became more perilous, and at the same time, their reflexes were being put to the test.
