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.

He had read Zhang Heng's appointment letter and knew that the Asian man in front of him was the newly appointed consultant of Commodus. He made the trip here to investigate the reason why the construction of the bronze statue was delayed.

Unfortunately, the Binota mine that has been supplying us with copper ore has recently encountered an accident. The mine tunnel collapsed, burying more than twenty slaves. The remaining slaves are still cleaning the mine tunnel. I don't know when they can resume their work. Without the ore, we can't proceed with our work."
