Gate Worlds Novels & Stories

Lights shimmered in the walls, and whispers followed them at every step. At the bottom was a chamber. In the center was a floating stone sphere, pulsing with pale light. Elias hissed. “It’s not just a seal. It’s a heart.” Kaelen frowned. “Of what?” Iris answered. “Of the First Gate.” Lyra stared. “I thought we destroyed it.” “No,” Iris said. “You destroyed its tether. But the Gates are older than the Hollowed. Older than the Sovereign. They were… invitations. Anchors for things not meant to enter.”

"What ritual?" "Plan B. I'd hoped to have more time to prepare you for the ritual, but your mate has forced my hand.” She gestures at the circle on the floor. "You've heard the term gateway, yes? Most people assume it's metaphorical. A doorway to power, to enlightenment, whatever flattering language desperate people use." She crouches beside the rune circle, touching the carvings lightly. "This one is literal. A gateway between our world and the space where the Moon Goddess sealed away the primordial chaos a thousand years ago." The words land like stones dropped in still water.

Cullen whispered, horrified, “It likes her.” Ava nodded. “Everything likes her. That’s the problem.” Rowan stepped closer, eyes locked on the glowing stone. “These are the Gates of the First Wolves.” Cullen squinted. “How do you even know that?” Rowan didn’t blink. “Because every story, every elder, every nightmare made for children warned about this place.” Okay. Fun. Ava crossed her arms. “So what now?” Before anyone answered, the air shimmered. Not cute shimmer. Weird shimmer. Like the world was glitching.

The cosmic oracle guided them, "These gateways lead to pivotal moments. Choose wisely, for each gateway unveils a new facet of your intertwined destinies." The first gateway revealed a vision of a celestial masquerade, where Elain and Richard danced under starlit skies. Richard whispered, "This moment represents the joy we've shared. Let's embrace the cosmic dance of love." In the second gateway, a cosmic storm raged, challenging their unity. Elain declared, "Storms may test us, but together, we'll weather every cosmic tempest. Our love is a resilient force." As they approached the third gateway, the celestial oracle warned, "This gateway holds the shadows of cosmic choices. Face them with c

That's what he thought. "Samara is the keeper of the Gate of Praeterium. It is the gate to the past, the present and the future. She holds the three keys called praeteria. It would not work when one of the keys is missing. Keter is a sphinx who guards the Gate of Dimensia. It is the only way to travel to other dimensions, alternate reality, to different places and times. Cosmos is the keeper of the Gate of Caelum. The only gate for mortals, demons and dark creatures to enter the place of the Gods."

In the digital world, the Ghost Army was already moving through the shattered remnants of the mirror maze. "We hear you, Wraith!" Marcus (DragonSlayer99) bellowed, raising his silver shield as a digital explosion rocked the plaza. The game's equivalent of the real-world Mag-Lev transit stations were massive, glowing purple Summoning Gates. In standard gameplay, they were used by the Admin to spawn waves of flying gargoyles and heavily armored golems. Right now, the gates were glowing with blinding intensity, infinitely spawning massive, winged Obsidian Wyverns that immediately took to the red, glitching sky.

CHAPTER FOUR Eric walked down the passage which had black tiles on its floor and up the walls; doors on his left and right as he walked passed; each door had a tag. He walked past a door labelled Saturn, another Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury. The doors were labelled with planets of the solar system except Earth; they were not labelled for figurative purpose because each door actually leads to the planets mentioned; those doors were known as “Dimensional Gates”.

I said shaking my head, “Gateway? What, gateway? And what union?” “A gateway that passes between the worlds to this one; each world has hidden portals, and each gateway has guardians. The Weston’s are the guardians of the one near here. Not only are they guardians, but they are also our protectors.” She looked me in the eyes when she added, “Rayna, this cannot be repeated...not even to your friends. Do you understand?” I nodded my head slowly. All of what was said seems so unbelievable. “What Union?” I asked again sounding a little choked up. It was now beginning to make sense.

Rex said shrugging his shoulders, "This had just confirmed my suspicions, one more question gran, how has a whole different world been kept hidden? Surely someone would have found it by now." "Not a new world dear, it is a plane of existence that connects to this one through a gateway held safe by a chosen one called 'The Gatekeeper.' He or she is charged with keeping our people in and others out that have no permission crossing the border, another delightful man you'll soon meet, I know his mother," Iris winked. Gatekeeper sounds terrifying and Iris speaks about him like they are family friends. "So why do I have to wait until I'm 18 to go home?" He asked, emphasizing the words GO HOME to g

All the pieces perfectly aligned for my plan to succeed. As we reach the city’s edge, the enchantresses spring into action.

Each portal appears exactly where it needs to be, creating a path for my wolf pack soldiers, who charge through without hesitation. They pass through the gateways swiftly and with precision, their powerful forms disappearing on the other side with singular purpose.
