When Time Stands Still

Bane, a youth from the wasteland, finds himself transported to a world two centuries after a cataclysm—armed with a unique "cheat" ability: the power to freeze time for one minute every day. He begins by securing a "Snake-class" forbidden artifact known as "Breath of the Bones"—a feat achieved through a reckless gamble involving a six-shot revolver. On his journey toward the Black Mountain 189 Shelter, he crosses paths with various "transcendent" individuals, leveraging these alliances to hunt mutated beasts and navigate the treacherous power struggles between rival factions. As a man out of time, Bane employs a blend of pre-cataclysm wisdom, ruthless wasteland survival tactics, and his one-minute-a-day time-freeze ability, all in a high-stakes gamble to claim the "Pangu USB Drive"—a treasure trove containing the sum total of human knowledge from the lost civilization.
