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.

The tough man and Zhang Heng were both very efficient. Fifteen minutes later, the two of them had entered the forest with their shotguns in their hands.

When the tough man squatted down to study the footprints of the animals on the ground, Zhang Heng asked, "Why me? Is it because I chose a popular novel?"

"I don't care about that kind of boring stuff,"the tough man shook his head. "I chose you because you look different from the nerds inside. You should know how to use a gun, but hunting requires a gun."

Zhang Heng found it hard to refute this reason, but after a pause, he said, "The first pilot should also know how to use a gun, so why not look for him?"

"Him? "I don't like him, just like I can tell that he doesn't like me either. To be more precise, he doesn't like all adults. Besides, don't look at how warm his story is, he's actually quite problematic here."The man pointed at his own head.
