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

From the moment Dadatis became Zhang Heng's teacher, the first request made by the old man was for Zhang Heng to not reveal that he was related to Balance Blade.

According to Dadatis, that was how an assassin survived.

Two hundred years ago, a traitor destroyed the Balance Blade's plan to assassinate Octavian. At the same time, the traitor had also exposed all the core members of the organization. All of them were top-tier assassins worldwide, and each possessed extraordinary assassination skills. However, once their identities were exposed, they were surrounded by the government, and the Hounds hunted them down after that. Only a few survived this disaster.
