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

AMGA45 was speeding down the highway.

The Magic Compass's one-hour effective time had long passed, but Zhang Heng didn't activate it for the second time immediately. Instead, he continued to drive in the direction the needle had pointed at. At the same time, he made a mark on the map, he recorded the position where he was when the first effective time of the compass ended.

There was nothing he could do. The compass could only be used seven times in total. If he still couldn't locate the location of Seth after the seventh time, then the chances of completing the mission would be slim, even if it wasn't zero. Therefore, Zhang Heng decided to continue driving for another four hours before making the second attempt.

During this time, he hadn't been idle either. He had been perfecting his plan to kill Seth in his mind.
