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.

Zhang Heng figured that his recent actions must have alerted those beings. After all, he had been collecting security footage along the street, and he knew it wasn't something he could hide. Such a move had probably caused them to feel that he was threatening their existence, and thus, hired a group of people to teach Zhang Heng a lesson.

To them, Zhang Heng was nothing more than a high school student. Once the group of thugs taught him a lesson, they expected him to realize reality's cruelty and hoped that he'd give up on what he was doing.

Obviously, they had severely underestimated Zhang Heng and his abilities.

Technically speaking, this was actually a double-blind quest. Zhang Heng had no idea where those creatures originated from, nor did they know his identity as a player. Hence, both parties were still at the stage of testing the waters they were in.

"How much did the person pay you to teach me a lesson?" Zhang Heng looked at the group's leader.
