There are no absolute bad guys in the ending of The Frozen Man 2's Gate of Eternity because this is a fictional story. In this story, every character has their own motives and goals. Sometimes, some people might be considered bad people because their actions would cause harm or misfortune to others. However, at the end of the novel, all the characters got their deserved rewards and the story also got a happy ending. Therefore, he could not accurately answer the question of who was the bad guy.
The 'death gate novels' are about a complex and fantastical world filled with magic, different races, and a lot of adventure. It involves a journey through various realms and the characters' struggles and growth within this unique universe.
Some of the main characters in the 'death gate novels' include characters like Haplo, who is a complex and important figure in the story. He has his own motives and a past that unfolds throughout the series.
In Naruto fanfiction, the 'Gate of Death' might be a fictional and extreme concept. It could be an ultimate or dangerous state related to the Chakra Gates system. Maybe it's a point where a ninja risks their life by opening a gate that's extremely difficult to control, leading to either great power or certain death.
I recommend the following pure battle energy novels, which list the levels of warriors according to Rest Gate, Life Gate, Pain Gate, Stop Gate, View Gate, Death Gate, Shock Gate, and Open Gate:
1. The main character, Xiao Yan, had walked all the way from the Dou Zhe to the Ruler stage, becoming the strongest Xiao Yan.
2. Life Gate-" Douluo's Nine-Tails Shocks the Heavens ". The main character was a reborn Douluo who had awakened the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox martial soul. Each tail was a talent, and each tail was a realm.
3. The main character, Shi Jun, had the most trashy wood-type fighting energy and the most trashy insect-type demonic spirit, but he relied on his tenacious spirit and strength to travel alone in the world.
4. Doomsday-" The Game: Breaking the Earth ". In the game world where humans only knew how to fight, the protagonist became one of the strongest existences because of his top-notch supernatural ability.
5. Jingmen-" Battle Break: I Can Upgrade All Things Unlimited ". The protagonist Feng Wu transmigrated to Battle Break the World and used experience points to upgrade all things to create the strongest strength.
6. Death Gate-" The Strongest Emperor ". The main character, Ao Lingtian, had the Emperor's Quality in Warrior Power. He was one of the strongest warriors in every corner of the Heaven Reverse Continent.
7. Startling Gate-< Talented Battle Master >. The main character Duan Lie had the talent of the four great grandmasters of secret medicine, forging, emblem, and appraisal. He also had the knowledge of battle energy and battle code, becoming the strongest god of war.
8. The main character, Xiao Fan, discovered the power of the nine heavens in the sealed planet space of the ancient soul race and dominated the Dou Qi continent.
In fanfiction, if Naruto were to open the gate of death, he might gain an extreme power boost. This could potentially allow him to defeat enemies that were previously unbeatable. However, it would likely come at a great cost, perhaps his own life or a part of his soul.
Naruto himself could be associated with it. Given his propensity for pushing his limits, he might be the one to discover or be forced into the situation related to the 'Gate of Death'. Another could be Sasuke. His quest for power might lead him to dabble with such dangerous concepts.
Well, in one story it could be some sort of accident like a car crash. Another might involve him getting into trouble with a dangerous character and that leads to his death. And perhaps in the third one, it could be related to a health issue that he just couldn't overcome.
I'd recommend starting with 'Dragons of Autumn Twilight'. It sets the stage for the entire Dragonlance universe and lays the foundation for the Death Gate storyline. Many readers find it an engaging entry point.
