I traveled through time and space and became a drama queen in the harem!

Opening the door to change

Lin Chen's body was engulfed in the vortex, and she felt as if she were being torn into countless pieces. Every inch of her skin burned, and the pain within her heart was unbearable, as if her soul was being ripped apart by some powerful force. However, she didn't feel death approaching, but rather an indescribable fear - she knew that she was no longer the calm and rational Lin Chen she once was.

Suddenly, a massive flash of light illuminated the surroundings, and the entire space was instantly as bright as day. As her body began to regain consciousness, she found herself floating in the center of a vast black vortex, surrounded by endless emptiness. Every point of light in the vortex was like countless stars, and each star seemed to contain endless secrets.

Suddenly, a tall door appeared before her eyes. It was made up of countless ancient symbols and shone with a strange light. Lin Chen's heartbeat quickened, and a voice in her consciousness kept reminding her: This door was related to her future and the fate of the "Emperor" she had chosen.

"Step through this door, and you will no longer be the same person you once were." The voice seemed to come from a distant time and space, deep and majestic. "You will become the master of this game, ruling this endless void."

Lin Chen involuntarily reached out and gently touched the door. The moment her fingers touched the door, a violent vibration spread throughout the void, and the door suddenly opened. Intense light and sound waves rushed towards her, and Lin Chen's body was instantly engulfed by the beam. She seemed to have turned into fragments of light, rapidly traveling through time and space.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself in an unfamiliar place. There were no distinct buildings, and all around her was empty, a vast expanse of fog. The air was filled with a decaying smell, as if some ancient power was corrupting everything. She had no clear direction to look at, and all she could sense was a suffocating atmosphere.

"You're finally here, Lin Chen." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the fog, with an elusive smile.

Lin Chen was startled and immediately looked towards the source of the sound. She saw a figure slowly emerging from the mist. The person was dressed in a black robe and wore a golden crown on his head. His face was still blurry, but the deep look in his eyes made her instantly understand who he was - it was Los.

"Los?" Her voice was weak, barely able to conceal her shock. "Why are you here? This is..."

"Do you really think that choosing me means you can completely control the situation?" Los's smile was tinged with a hint of teasing. "You've simply stepped into another unknown territory and become a puppet of this game."

Lin Chen's heart was in a state of panic. She suddenly realized one thing - her choice was far beyond her control. She had not chosen to become the emperor's successor, but was being led into a more complicated and dangerous situation.

Los's gaze deepened as he approached Lin Chen, his black robe fluttering in the wind, seemingly unrestrained by gravity. "This place is called the 'Gate of Change.' It's the testing ground I've prepared for you, and it's the key to your ultimate power." His voice was unusually calm, but every word struck Lin Chen's heart like a hammer.

"Gate of Change?" A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. "Are you kidding me?"

"Toy with me?" Los chuckled softly. "No, I'm giving you the freedom to choose. You can choose to leave, or you can choose to stay. You can choose to control this void and become the emperor who rules over everything, or accept endless torture and become an eternal prisoner of this world."

Lin Chen's thoughts raced. The scene just now seemed like a dream. Her body no longer belonged to her, but had become a pawn in this game of time and space. However, she refused to surrender. She knew clearly that she had to make a choice, to find a way out of this life-or-death trial.

"You don't need to say anything more." Lin Chen took a deep breath, his eyes becoming firm. "Now that I've come this far, I won't back down."

"Good." Ross smiled slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, "You finally made a real choice."

At this moment, the fog suddenly dissipated, and the scene before him changed. Lin Chen saw a vast battlefield. There were no rules, only countless warriors fighting in a seemingly endless bloody battle. Everyone was fighting for the power they wanted.

"This is the true test you will face," Los said coldly. "You need to find the 'Key to Change' on this battlefield. That's your only chance to break free. But remember, every brick and stone, every speck of dust, could be a deadly trap."

Lin Chen's heart was beating wildly. She could feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, as if every flying bullet, every sound of a sword slicing through the air, was announcing that her fate was sealed. She stepped onto this bloody land, the air around her heavy, as if every step was accompanied by the whisper of death.

Suddenly, a sharp bell rang from afar, and then all the warriors on the battlefield seemed to stop what they were doing and turned to look in one direction. Lin Chen followed their gaze and saw a golden palace in the distance. Atop the palace, a huge gem shone brightly. The gem emitted an intense light that seemed to attract the attention of all living things.

"That is the 'Key to Change'." Los' voice sounded with a hint of meaning, "Go, Lin Chen. Go and get the key that belongs to you, or... become a part of this land forever."

Lin Chen didn't hesitate at all, her eyes fixed firmly on the palace, her pace quickening. However, as she approached the palace, the sky suddenly darkened, and all the warriors turned around and rushed towards her.

She knew that this moment was the beginning of her true trial. And she was no longer the Lin Chen who only knew how to make choices, but a king standing at the center of this battlefield—about to become the master of her own destiny.
