Xiao Daidzhao

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

"You've read Norse mythology, so you must know something about my deeds," Loki said as he dodged Zhang Heng's arrows, "I do like to cause trouble everywhere, so when the gods encounter a problem, their first reaction is to wonder if it was me. But after they've ruled out this possibility, they still come to me. Do you know why?"

Zhang Heng didn't answer. He continued to draw his bow and shot two arrows at Loki. The latter snapped his fingers helplessly and dodged them again. At the same time, he answered his own question. "Because they know I can solve their problems. I helped Thor get his hammer back. Sifo lost her golden hair. I asked the dwarves to use gold to create more beautiful hair for her. They would be even more beautiful than her original hair. So, you see, I'm not always busy destroying things. I can solve problems, but only difficult questions others can't solve..."

Before Loki could finish, he was forced to leave by Zhang Heng's arrows.
