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

The previous battles had all been arranged by the arena long ago. To ensure that the final battle's excitement and popularity could be kept up, the most powerful gladiators would not meet during the early phase of the battle. But now, Zhang Heng had appeared in from of the audience while they were cheering for him. It also brought out a new problem. His opponent hadn't yet been decided. The organizer did not know what to do at a time like this. Zhang Heng, however, walked to the judge and talked to him, to which the latter looked very surprised. He repeatedly asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I won't play around with my life," Zhang Heng said.

The judge then hurriedly told Zhang Heng's proposal to Commodus in the front row. And the young emperor also had a strange look on his face when he heard what Zhang Heng said, "He said that?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I asked him twice." The judge affirmed.
