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 instinctively jumped out of the magic circle the moment he was burned by the flame. However, at the same time, Isis'voice sounded in his ears. "Don't!"

After a pause, ISIS added, "This is a magic flame. It Won't harm our bodies. As long as we relax, the teleportation circle will naturally lead us to our destination."

Zhang Heng reached out to touch the flame in front of him. Sure enough, there were no signs of burns on his skin. In fact, his palm went straight through the flame, therefore, Zhang Heng followed Isis'instructions and relaxed his mind.

The next moment, a familiar feeling of dizziness rushed into his head, and Zhang Heng closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a parking lot with ISIS. Isis looked at the hospital building on the left and shook her head. "It's been a long time since I last used it. I Can't believe I missed it by more than 500 meters."
