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.

Sauk tried her best to suppress the sound of her breathing. There was a reason why she had chosen to escape to this place.

50 meters away, she had personally dug the bear trap. The pit was four meters deep, six meters long, and three meters wide, and there was also a sharpened wooden stake at the bottom.

Only a thin wooden board in the middle could be used to walk. Sauk had attached soil to the board so that it couldn't be seen from the outside. If Zhang Heng followed her footsteps, he would be doomed if he made the wrong step, and even if he didn't, it would be useless to traverse the thin wooden board.

Since the wooden board had been carefully selected by Sauk, it could bear her weight. With Zhang Heng's weight, however, it would definitely break, which meant that Zhang Heng would still fall into the trap, and he would end up gutted.
