As an Outsider, I'm the Savior Today

Do you know about "the Door"?

At some point, a rumor began circulating online: a "Door" would appear before those chosen to see it.

A silent corridor lined with white bars, a golden planet, an abyss where the next step hangs over empty space. Anything is possible beyond the Door.

With a limited number of chances, you can have anything you want: supreme power, endless wealth, a healthy body, or even the supernatural abilities found in fantasy novels.

Some thrill-seekers searching for the truth behind the rumor set up a dedicated forum, where countless people claiming to have passed through a "Door" began posting.

There were hundreds of anonymous threads about the Doors, describing their unpredictable appearances, bizarre ways of entering, and strange, extraordinary experiences. Among the countless accounts, one self-proclaimed veteran said in an interview:

"How did I find it? Hmm... That's hard to say. By the time I noticed it, the Door was already there. Just like everyone else's, it had a three-day countdown."

"I didn't wait. I went straight in. The moment I stepped through, I understood: this world could make my wish come true."

"On the other side of the Door, I thought I was done for. But after I died, I came back to life here. The first time was a little rough, though."

"After I'd gone through a few times, the Door suddenly moved. Then I went in and came back out, and the Door closed."

Though the wording varied and people disagreed about when they'd first noticed the Doors, most of the self-proclaimed veterans on the forum shared one feeling:

[This is a world where my wish can come true]

The full moon hung high outside the window in the dead of night. In a cozy bedroom, the white light from the forum on the screen reflected on Ai Yu's face.

At her grandmother's funeral a few days earlier, Ai Yu had suddenly realized that a "Door" had appeared beside her.

Now, very little time remained on its countdown.

Should Ai Yu ignore the Door and continue her happy, ordinary life, or embark on an unknown adventure? As the countdown drew near, she made her choice.
