After the World Glitched, I Saw a Door

(The full novel is complete. Thank you for supporting the official version!) At the hospital, Zhang Chen encountered someone who wanted to jump off the roof. With his back to Zhang Chen, the man spoke in a voice full of temptation, like a whisper from ancient times. "Do you know about the world inside the 'doors'?" Zhang Chen shook his head and watched helplessly as the man spread his arms in front of him and leaped from the roof, like a tragic, beautiful butterfly. After that, Zhang Chen felt that the world had changed. He saw buildings collapse and the sky turn upside down. Cars by the roadside played the "Funeral March" with their horns, while passersby laughed and screamed at the same time. Amid the chaos, he suddenly remembered the last words the man had spoken before he died, carrying a hint of bewitchment and an almost imperceptible sadness. "It doesn't matter if you don't know, because you... are already inside a door." ** Chen Wei boarded a train. For some reason, from the moment he stepped on board, everyone seemed to be watching him, whether deliberately or not. Greedy light gleamed in every pair of eyes, as if they were looking at prey. Not long after taking his seat, he happened to spot a train ticket wedged in a gap. The name on it belonged to a female college student who, according to the news, had recently gone missing. Chen Wei immediately handed the ticket he had found to the conductor, only to hear him whisper from a corner out of sight: "Last time, the 'fresh meat' sign fell off. We have to keep a close eye on this one..." ** Every year, countless people go missing around the world. Some disappear forever, some are found with nothing left but a corpse, and some have already gone insane... That's because countless invisible "doors" exist in this world, and you might walk through one without even realizing it. The world inside a "door" looks exactly like reality, but it is ruled by chaos and disorder. Space and time are completely twisted, and all the laws of physics cease to exist. Here, you can see the dead come back to life, spirits dancing in cemeteries, and animals growing a pair of human eyes... Most importantly, once you enter, you can never escape this world, unless... you die. Note: 1. Mild horror 2. Episodic stories Coming soon: My Sickly Beautiful Husband Is Actually a God Blurb: Tan Jingzhe would never forget that day ten years ago. He was still a teenager the first time he went to battle. The three thousand soldiers at his side all fell in battle, their blood flowing for miles as corpses covered the land. He, too, was gravely wounded, barely breathing. Just as he hovered on the brink of death, the sky suddenly blazed with light, and the sun shone on the golden mountain. In a sea of dazzling golden light, a man recited low, ancient words as he slowly approached. As he chanted, golden light outlined the figures of thousands of the dead. They slowly rose and walked toward him, then finally merged into that radiance. Only later did Tan Jingzhe learn that the man had been guiding the three thousand spirits from the battlefield to the afterlife. But at the time, Tan Jingzhe had only one thought: he had seen a god. He couldn't make out the god's face, only the compassion in his golden eyes. "Go. Return to where you belong," the god said. ** Later, Tan Jingzhe became a true general. He led his troops through campaigns north and south, crushing powerful enemies and striking fear into all who heard his name. While still young, he also became the commander of the emperor's personal guard, the Blackbird Guard, a position second only to the emperor and above all others, earning widespread renown as The Outcast. But he never saw the god again. Until one day, ten years later, while investigating a case, he saw a prisoner in a deep dungeon. The man was badly injured, yet possessed breathtaking beauty. As the brutal officials interrogated him, blood streaked his pale cheeks, while his anguished gaze held a look of pity and compassion. In that moment, Tan Jingzhe was dazed. The figure he had longed for day and night, yet could never presume to profane, seemed to overlap with the man before his eyes. * Much later, they investigated cases together and traveled across the length and breadth of the Great Yan Kingdom. The northwestern desert, the rainy lanes of the south, the dense forests of the southwest, the snowy plains of the northeast... For the first time, a god and a mortal left their footprints side by side. Until one day, Tan Jingzhe was gravely wounded and lay in bed, barely breathing. The god cut his slender, pale wrist and used his own blood to save him. Tan Jingzhe said, "A god must not alter another's fate. By doing this, are you defying the will of Heaven?" The god's golden eyes shimmered. A blush appeared on his fair cheeks. "Heaven also forbids gods from cultivating together with mortals. Between you and me... Heaven has long since ceased to exist."
