[THE GATE] / Prolog

When did you read this story?

Is it in the future where all the chaos has ended...?

Or in the past before it all began?

Or maybe at the time of the destruction, in the year....

2035.

Whatever your answer, it won't change what has happened or what will happen.

But remember that this story exists and tells everything.

[BEHIND THE GATE : PROLOGUE]

The gates of hell.

That was the name that the world gave after seeing it. The gate that fell suddenly at exact 12:00 pm in Los Angeles - United States immediately became a trending topic around the world with the keyword " The Gate of Hell".

Everyone who saw it on there could only be shocked and take pictures of it immediately, which then posted it on the internet to tell the world.

Then the reaction.

"It's just an event of something, right? There's no way a gigantic gate would suddenly fall in the middle of a city"

"Maybe what's in the comics and movies is becoming reality!? Lol definitely impossible"

"CGI?"

"Nice editing"

But after someone who accidentally recorded the incident posted the video he recorded, as well as the evidence provided by people, more and more people on the internet believed.

Then 13:00 pm, January 01, 2032, which is 1 hour after the gate of hell fell, the United States government immediately sent an army to restrict and guard the area around the gate.

This is what makes the world immediately believe.

"The gate is real!?!?"

"So there's a chance we can enter it?"

"No matter what, we still don't know anything about the gates of hell, it would be great if the world behind it was like in anime or comics, unfortunately, we are in the real world where it is always the opposite"

"But what's behind the gate?"

"UOOOOOGH!!!!! ANIME I'M COMING!!!!!!!!"

"Isn't this similar to a Korean comic? I think i've seen it before"

"If the gate is connected to another world, there is a possibility that the creatures from that world will open the gate and come to our world too, right? I hope the government can handle when it happens."

Things are getting out of hand on the internet, with people continuing to theorize about the gates of hell.

But it didn't stop there, the Gates of Hell once again fall in the next day. And coincidentally in the same country of the United States and at the same time at 12:00 pm, but what was different was the place where it fall.

Because the second gate fell in New York City.

And it's still not over, because every day the Gates of Hell fall at 12:00 pm in somewhere, and after a month has passed, humans can understand a little thing about The gate of hell.

But even so, the order in which the gates of hell fall is still questionable. Because for now it still looks random, starting from the United States with the number of gates falling as many as 8 then followed by Japan with as many as 6 then France with the number of gates only 2, namely in the cities of Lyon and Paris.

The falling order of the gates of hell in the city is also random, but the last gate always falls in the capital city.

Finally, researchers have recorded the number of gates of hell in one country, in the past 3 months the gates of hell have fallen in 22 countries, and using this data it is estimated that a country with 1,000,000,000 inhabitants has 10 gates of hell.

Then countries with more than 100,000,000 inhabitants will have 6-9 gates. Those with less than that will have 1-5 gates.

Little by little humanity is beginning to understand the Gates of Hell.

But, is that all?

When will the gates that are always closed be opened?

The question that has arisen from the beginning has finally been answered by the governments of the world.

The gate will be opened soon and the U.S. government will send special forces and researchers to research the world behind the gate.

China also stated the same thing that they would send people into the gates of hell.

Then March 29, 2032, the United States of America became the first country to send humans into the gate. Photos and videos containing the opening of the gates of hell and sending troops into the gates are circulating.

You can also see the equipment and tools carried by them, such as drones, firearms, several kinds of robots, and other equipment that are not clearly captured on cameras.

Everyone in the world was eager to know what was inside the gate.

But they were immediately disappointed by the government's statement that any information obtained would be a state-level secret.

The world continued to wait.

And after one year passed, June 15, 2033.

All governments in the world that sent people into the gate published information about the gate of hell.

What have they gotten after 1 year inside the gates of hell?

As you can imagine.

The system.

Unknown creatures.

A strange world.

Unknown resources.

And of course the next target for humans to rule.

But it seems that it will be difficult to do so, in the information, written that technology made by humans cannot be used there.

Drones, smartphones, and even firearms don't work which makes it difficult for researchers at first.

That's also why there wasn't a single photo listed in the information, everything was an illustration that someone drew.

Then, the information that made everyone surprised was about the work in the world there.

That's right.

Everyone would be able to enter the gate if they were willing to work in any of the jobs mentioned by the government, but for now there were only "Explorers", and "Miners".

No matter what, the creatures called monsters were still undiscovered by them.

Then a new era has come.

Humans had to write a new history, about the Gates of Hell and the world within.

However, unexpected things happened afterward. Starting from the surge in job expectations on becoming Miner's also Explorer, and resignations in various places. Other problems regarding regulations in the world there, or security, anticipation of a possible war in both worlds and others.

The chaos lasted for 2 years and finally settled in 2035.

Where all the gates around the world are open and entry into them becomes commonplace.

But this is not a story about the sweetness of the world.

It's about the two worlds' fate that is in the hand of one man.
