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.

"What should we do next?" Feng Zi asked Zhang Heng after he sent the email.

Although Feng Zi was a little puzzled, she still took off her bracelet and handed it to Zhang Heng. He then put her bracelet on his wrist, right next to his. It was close enough for the signal blocker to cover both bracelets.

"Let's find a safe place first," said Zhang Heng.

"Okay, uhh... we can go back to my house or my sister's house," Feng Zi suggested after thinking for a bit.

"No. Your ID is already in their possession, which also means that they have all your information. In other words, you can't go back to your home, your sister's house, or your colleague's and friends' place. Besides…" Zhang Heng paused.

"...it's you. Not us. I still have things to do. I'm going to send you over first."
