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.

"Twelve...Twelve good people who are so different from you have put you on trial, saying you are guilty. Look at the crimes that you have committed. You..." The drunk sheriff on the wooden stand pointed at the man with his hands and ankles tied with a rope.

"You fought against a man for a horse, stabbed the owner with a knife, made a mother lose her son, a wife to lose her husband, and an innocent child to lose her father! Do you any last words?"

"Yes, I didn't control my temper at the time. I killed him by mistake, and it got to where I am today. Now, it's too late to say anything about it." The shorty obviously knew that his death was imminent. He then took a deep breath and said, "I just hope I can apologize to the family of the man I killed. Although I know they won't forgive me, so be it."

After he spoke, he nodded at the sheriff and closed his mouth.

The next moment, a black cloth was put on his head.
