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

It was Friday in the blink of an eye.

The weekend was nigh, and the classroom was in a much more relaxed atmosphere than before. Monday was the day that everyone hated the most, as if the day the students had to face down their worst enemies. Everyone just wished that they could get over Monday as soon as possible. At the moment, though, everyone was in a lighter mood, and more people talked and laughed in the front and back rows.

If one ranked the emotional values of high school students for a week, Monday was probably the day they felt least motivated since the new week was about to begin. The thought of having had to spend another five days in school was downright depressing. Tuesday was only slightly better than Monday. On Wednesday, students began to see a slight glimpse of hope. By then, they should be a lot more elated than they were since the weekend was just beyond the horizon.
