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.

Zhang Heng had the three women wait by the side of the road. He sneaked into the side room while the workers gathered to discuss what to do next.

This was where the construction workers usually took their lunch breaks. Currently, there were only three people in the room. One was the chef and his assistant, and the other was sleeping soundly on the table. Zhang Heng lowered his body and under the cover of the dining table, quietly slipped into the room to take a few sets of work clothes from the wire bed. He changed into a set first. During this time, he even heard complaints from the chef. Then, he heard footsteps approaching the room.

Zhang Heng quickly looked around and finally rolled under a wire bed by the door.
