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.

"How did it go?" Mark Reuss rubbed his hands as he looked at Zhang Heng with eagerness.

The latter swung the two Persian swords in his hands and nodded. "Not bad."

"I'm glad you like it. I'm counting on you this time," said Mark Reuss. "For the honor of Victor Arena, we must win the championship of this gladiatorial show."

"I will do my best." Zhang Heng said.

"Very well. I know I can always count on you." Mark Reuss patted Zhang Heng's shoulder with satisfaction, "Other than you; we also plan to send Bach, Habitus, Carnero, Mulkazan, Paral, and Milo. All seven of you will compete with the gladiators from other schools. But of course, I place most of my faith in you. Other than that, I have also asked Gaby to find out about the gladiators from other arenas and mark out the ones you need paying attention to. However, the name list won't come out until tomorrow. Oh, yes, I need you to attend to a dinner tonight."
