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.

Decius had never been to East District before, but he had heard a lot about this place. Even the coachman was a little reluctant to take them when he heard that Zhang Heng and Decius wanted to travel there. In the end, Zhang Heng had to pay an extra fare to make the coachman bring them to their destination.

While they were on the way to the East District, Decius held back and did not say a word. However, after he got off the carriage, he could not help but ask, "Didn't you say you want to find out who the mastermind behind Cobb is? Why are you here? As far as I know, everyone living in this place is either a criminal, a villain, or a pauper. I don't think there's anyone here that can make Cobb obey orders."

"Yes, you are right, but they are our goal."

"What? Are you saying that our targets are the criminals and villains?" Decius asked, puzzled.

"No. Our goal is the poor people here."
