They pushed and shouted over one another, their voices rising into a cacophony of desperation. As the first few attempted to force their way into the cradle that had opened, they were stopped abruptly—a shimmering rune formation burst to life.

There are two types of ‘gates’. The first one is a ‘blue gate’. In a blue gate people fight monsters inside. The other one is a ‘red gate’, if people is the one entering a blue gate in the case of a red gate, the monsters are the ones coming out or maybe in their perspective, going in.
