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

Zhang Heng raised the Pestilence Bone Bow in his hand and aimed it at the sheepdog that was lying on the ground, seemingly asleep.

At this distance, he was confident that he could kill the sheepdog with one shot. He would shoot directly in the head, inflicting as little pain as possible to it. Leaving this world in its sleep was probably the last thing Zhang Heng could do for it.

However, the next moment, just as Zhang Heng was about to release the bowstring, the shepherd dog suddenly opened its eyes.

Man and the dog looked at each other for about half a second. Then, the dog let out a low growl, as if trying to stand up from the ground.

However, an arrow pierced through its head!

Although Zhang Heng couldn't send the shepherd dog away in its sleep as planned, his arrow still hit the target cleanly. The hound fell to the ground after being hit by the arrow.

Zhang Heng then put away his Pestilence Bone Bow ] and turned to leave.
