The gate collapsed behind them.The instant the last of them crossed the threshold, the fracture hanging above the coastline twisted inward like a dying star. Then it imploded. A ripple of warped air rolled outward across the sea, bending the light for a moment before snapping back into place. The violet tear that had dominated the sky for hours folded in on itself and vanished.Silence followed.For several long seconds, no one moved. The shoreline looked like the aftermath of a storm. Concrete barricades had been pushed aside during the gate's appearance. Emergency lights still burned along the coastal road. Government drones hovered overhead, their cameras fixed on the empty sky where the gate had existed only moments ago.Lucien exhaled slowly. "...Everyone here?"Seris was already moving. Soft gold light flowed from her hands as she passed through the group, checking injuries with calm efficiency. "Minor fractures," she said quietly. "Mana exhaustion." Her gaze settled briefly on

Morning came quietly.Sunlight slipped through the tall windows of Aurora Covenant's headquarters, casting long golden reflections across the polished floors of the common area. For the first time since the gate opened—there were no alarms. No sirens. No fractures in the sky. Just quiet.Most of the guild had collapsed wherever they landed the night before. Garrick had fallen asleep halfway through eating, his head resting against the back of the couch. Mira had claimed the opposite side of the room, sprawled across two chairs with absolutely no concern for gravity or posture.Orion sat by the window, a book resting open in his lap. He still hadn't turned the page.Seris moved quietly through the room, placing a blanket over Mira before checking Garrick's pulse out of habit. "Still alive," she murmured.Orion nodded without looking up. "Barely."Seris allowed herself a small smile. Across the room, Kairos stood near the kitchen counter. He had been awake long before everyone else. His

The government left quickly.The moment the glass doors hissed shut, the reception area fell back into a heavy silence. For several seconds, nobody spoke. Then Mira leaned across the desk, breaking the tension."...So," she said, tapping the tablet the officer had left behind. "Are we officially government property now?"Kaida leaned against the wall, her expression thoughtful. "Strategic national resource," she corrected."Same thing," Mira shot back.Garrick stretched his arms, his joints popping. "I don't like it.""No one does," Seris said calmly, though there was a hint of weariness in her voice.Orion flipped another page in his book. "They didn't expect us to like it."Lucien stood with his arms folded, staring at the door. "They expected us to cooperate."Kaida tilted her head. "And will we?"Lucien didn't answer right away. Across the room, Kairos was staring intently at the tablet—at the authority registration records, the raid eligibility, and the operational status. His na

Aurora Covenant did not intend to become famous.Unfortunately, the internet disagreed. By the third day after the first gate cleared, the entire world seemed to have an opinion about them.Inside Aurora Covenant headquarters, the common area was a scene of practiced normalcy. Garrick was focused on breakfast, Orion was buried in a book, and Seris was quietly preparing tea. At the center of the room, Kairos was trying to control a small swirl of wind above his palm, while Kaida's fingers flew across three separate screens.Then Mira burst in, holding a tablet like a weapon. "You guys need to see this."No one looked up."Guys," Mira tried again. Still nothing. She dramatically climbed onto the couch, practically hovering over them. "GUYS."Lucien finally looked up, his expression wary. "...What."Mira spun the tablet around. The screen was playing a video—high-quality drone footage of the S-rank gate battle. Specifically, a shot of Lucien cleaving through a massive monster, his radian

The next gates did not arrive with a warning, they appeared everywhere.Across the world, fractures opened quietly in the sky—over coastlines, deep forests, and cities still frantically repairing the damage from the first catastrophic breach. But unlike that first gate, these were smaller, more stable.Silver text flickered across the heavens once more: [System Notice] [Simultaneous Gate Manifestations Detected] [Global Gate Density Stabilizing] [Gate classifications in progress]The ranks appeared one by one: E. D. C. B. There was no S-rank this time, no overwhelming pressure. Just dozens of manageable gates scattered across the planet. For the first time since the Awakening, governments attempted an organized response.__Inside KAMB headquarters, a massive digital map filled the operations room. Gate markers blinked across the Korean peninsula like a spreading fever. Director Adrian Cross studied the display."How many?""Five gates within national territor
