[Anticipating a stroke of luck, a sudden shock—such a marvelous encounter]
My name is Liu Xiaoying, female, 22 years old, from Baotou, Inner Mongolia, China. No need to ask for a photo—I'm not much to look at, just an ordinary girl. Of course, if you insist on something unusual, well: I'm a Chosen One, forum ID 'Free Walker.' I first saw those three words—Chosen One—on the Global Observation Agency's site, and it turned my whole life upside down. I don't know how others feel, but for me, becoming a Chosen One meant a clean break from a dull, passionless life.
I became someone extraordinary.

It has nothing to do with powers or anything like that. I've seen so many forum posts showing off abilities—lots of people have gained all sorts of enviable talents, but I haven't. As my hopelessly nerdy boyfriend puts it, I haven't improved in martial arts, magic, or arcane skills. But I still think my life is great. Unlike my nerdy boyfriend, and contrary to my quiet image, I'm a full-on traveler.
Freedom. Wandering. That's all I ever wanted from life. And after becoming a Chosen One, every dream I had came true.

Oh, I almost forgot—I'm also a photographer. According to the Global Observation Agency's announcement, a low-risk world just appeared. These forecasts rarely come more than a day or two in advance, and as someone broke, I can't afford to travel far. Luckily, the new Soul Rift happened to appear right above Baotou. A baseball cap, a backpack, a bunch of random survival gear, and my beloved camera—that's how I started my photography adventure.
For photography, I'd risk anything. Maybe I'm crazy, but after arriving in this brand-new world, I knew it was all worth it—because it's just so beautiful here.
