Zhang Chen is an ordinary software engineer who lives in a parallel world similar to our Earth. His life is dull and he repeats the same rhythm every day: getting up at seven in the morning, eating breakfast in a hurry, and then squeezing into the crowded subway to go to the company. Although his job is stable, it lacks passion. He faces endless codes and occasional overtime every day.
Zhang Chen's social circle is not wide. Except for a few good friends from college, he rarely makes new friends. He likes to stay at home on weekends, play games, watch movies, and occasionally go for a walk in a nearby park to enjoy the rare tranquility. Although his life is simple, he is also happy.
Despite this, Zhang Chen always has a trace of uneasiness in his heart. He always feels that something is missing in his life, and an unspeakable sense of emptiness often bothers him. He longs for change, adventure, and a different life. But reality is always so cruel, and his life seems to be fixed in an invisible framework and difficult to break through.
Zhang Chen's parents are ordinary working class people. They don't have high expectations for Zhang Chen. They just hope that he can have a stable job and a warm family. Zhang Chen also tried his best to meet their expectations, but he knew that his heart was not satisfied with such a life.
In the company, Zhang Chen's performance was mediocre. He was not good at expressing himself, nor was he good at dealing with complex interpersonal relationships. Most of his colleagues' impression of him was "the quiet programmer", and few people knew his inner desires and dreams.
Zhang Chen had a hobby, which was reading. He liked to read all kinds of books, especially science fiction and fantasy novels. In the world of books, he could temporarily forget the constraints of reality, follow the protagonist of the story to adventure, and experience different lives. His favorite novel was "Interstellar Traveler", which tells the story of an ordinary person who accidentally gained superpowers and began to adventure in the universe. Every time he finished reading this book, Zhang Chen felt an inexplicable excitement and yearning.
However, reality is always so ruthless. Whenever night falls, Zhang Chen will return to his small apartment, facing the cold computer screen, and continue his programming work. His life is like a straight line, without ups and downs, without waves.
Until that fateful night, everything changed.
That night, Zhang Chen worked overtime until late as usual. When he walked out of the company building, a strange light suddenly streaked across the sky. The light was extremely bright and illuminated the entire night sky. Zhang Chen was attracted by this sudden scene, stopped and looked up.
At this moment, the light suddenly accelerated and rushed straight towards Zhang Chen. Before he could react, he was engulfed by the light. He felt his body being pulled by a powerful force, the surrounding scene quickly became blurred, and then everything fell into darkness.
When Zhang Chen opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on an unfamiliar street. The surrounding buildings and environment were completely different from the world he was familiar with. He felt dizzy, but soon realized that he might have traveled to another world.
This discovery surprised and excited Zhang Chen. He knew that his life was about to change dramatically. He stood up, looked around, and prepared to meet new challenges.
However, he didn't know that this new world was far more complicated and dangerous than he had imagined. In this world full of mystery and unknown, he will face unprecedented challenges and encounter unexpected opportunities.
Zhang Chen's adventure began.
