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.

The helmet of the murmillo was designed to protect the head of the gladiator. Weighing about four kilograms, it was air-tight, just like an iron can. There was a hole in front of the helmet that allowed the gladiator to look at his surroundings.

Usually, it was hard for the opponent to stick his sword into the observation hole because it was tiny, not to mention that the gladiator would be moving around too.

This required keen observation and precise power control to carry out such a feat. Looking at Zhang Heng's previous fight with Garba, Zhang Heng had not possessed abilities like that just yet. In other words, it was simply a coincidence that Zhang Heng managed to strike his sword into the observation hole.

The referee checked again and confirmed that Zhang Heng's training sword did pierce at Garba's eye first, so he announced that the final winner of the battle was Zhang Heng.
