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

A strange knocking sound came from the center of the hall. At the same time, millions of microscopic ash particles floated everywhere in the air. Fortunately, this was Zhang Heng's second time coming here. Hence, he was not surprised by his surroundings.

The two security guards beside him showed no expression too, and they did not stop moving after opening the door. They stood on both sides and walked into the hall with him. It seemed like they wanted to stay until the cloning ceremony was completed.

The three of them walked into the hall and stopped before they entered the attack range of the ugly vines. After that, Zhang Heng saw his two companions lying down on the ground with their foreheads pressed against the floor and their legs spread apart, looking like a toad. At the same time, their bodies started to tremble in the same rhythm.
