The Lowly Gate’s Guard

Synopsis: It’s been five years since the gates appeared, treasures and magic lay within. However, where there’s treasure and magic, there’s monsters and deadly traps. Dean is a university student that doesn’t have anything special about him. As a security guard watching over the F gates, he gets paid just enough to cover his rent. However, with dreams of becoming a hunter with no awakening, or natural talent for anything, the chances of him becoming a fully fledged hunter are slim. Until, that all changes with one mistake. Once again, the world has been thrown into turmoil. Will Dean make it out alive? —— This novel is about a weak MC to strong MC. If you’re also not into apocalyptic death games, this wouldn’t be for you! —— On a temporary hiatus (refer to most recent update chapter) Chapters range from 1000+ to 1800+ words. —— Prefer to read on other platforms? I post on Royalroad, Webnovel, Wattpad and Scribblehub! —— Proof read by my Lovely Partner when she gets the chance.

Prologue (Optional; For World Building)

In 2015, large, multicoloured, swirling vortexes started to appear all around the world. The humans were confused at first, they posed no danger. However, whoever went inside never returned. The governments sent their armies and special forces in; but still, none returned.

Until one day a small group of young adults came back.

The vortex shrunk, vanishing out of existence once they stepped back through its dark depths.

They told tales of what had happened inside. The group called the vortexes, 'Gates'.

When they entered inside, they heard the Gate's voice. A voice that came through a floating opaque window, it gave them a mission. The mission was dangerous, but very rewarding. The rewards changed their lives.

The Gate was full of monsters, magic and treasure.

After hearing of treasures and rewards, the populace went wild. They'll obtain unimaginable riches.

Though people knew of the dangers that laid within, they challenged them in hopes of changing their fates.

The death rate continued to raise as more challenged the Gates. In response, the governments enforced a global law that the Gates had to be watched until a government sanctioned Hunter groups closed them.

The governments came up with the name 'Hunter' as it would be their job to hunt the Gates. Wiping them out as fast as they could.

The Government opened testing centres and created a new course in universities. The only way to become a Hunter was to obtain the degree after three years of education, or to be Awakened.

An Awakening was a strange phenomenon where one would gain powers over night, it would fast track others to becoming Hunters.

No one knew why, or how, Gates appeared and some had Awakenings. That was until five years later.

In 2020 humanity had started to adjust to their new lives with Hunters and Gates. But they were not prepared for what was going to happen.

Soon it'll be revealed why the Gates came into existence. Will Earth be able to bounce back after being thrown into disaster once again?

I received a review that there might need to be some world building for others who don't read this genre. Here you go! :D
