Chapter 1 Gate From Another World Appeared On Earth

"What is happening?"

"Why are people running?"

When suddenly people started screaming and running anyone in my shoes will be afraid so do I but more than that I was curious.

So I slowly started walking towards the place where people were running from.

This was an unnatural situation because people only start screaming and running when there is an abnormal condition like a terrorist attack an earthquake or if there is a fire.

But I can't hear the fire alarm buzzing off neither do I hear a gunshot nor do I feel the earth under me tremble so what's the problem?

Currently, I am working in a supermarket as a security guard that's why besides my curiosity it's my job to see what is going on.

I am in the ground-floor lobby so there is not much distance to cover. When I turned at the end of the lobby.

In front of me, there was a black fog rapidly coming from know where. Space was distorted and suddenly a black gate seen in anime and manga was in front of me.

***

I am Alex Rogers a 19-year-old high schooler.

A few months ago I was living a pretty mundane but happy life however six months ago both of my parents died in a car accident. From then on my life became shit.

No relatives wanted to take me in. My relatives only helped me with my parent's funeral, gave me some money and that's all nothing more. They didn't even call me to see how was I doing neither did they pick up my calls. So after some time I also stopped calling them.

Well to say you the truth I never had any faith that they were going to help me.

After one month of reputedly searching for a job, I found a job in a well-known supermarket as a security guard.

Due to my job being nine hours at night, I frequently slept in college.

I haven't told my parent's death to teachers or classmates that's why everyone thought that I was slacking off, I didn't have the energy to correct them so I left it at that.

Rachel is the only female in my class. Coincidentally her seat was next to mine in class. So we got quite close in these two years.

I didn't know when or where I started loving Rachel but when I think that we are going to leave college that there is only one month left in our college life.

I will not be able to see Rachel again anymore. I feel afoul inside.

So ten days ago I gathered the courage and confessed to her. I knew she didn't see me as her romantic partner but still, I had to try.

And the answer was as I expected she said "NO" as politely as possible. She said that "I do not love you but we can be friends. I see you as my brother and I don't want to lose our friendship."

I had known that this is going to happen, but then someone might ask then why did I confess my feelings to her it is simple really because I don't want any regret anymore in my life. That's why even after knowing the fact that our friendship will be ruined. I confessed my feelings to her.

And now it has been ten days since I haven't gone to college. My heart and mind were in turmoil the last person I hoped to stay by my side has gone. Our friendship will never be like before. I ruined it all.

My mind was a mess I was not thinking straight I wanted to die. Die so badly that the only person whom I loved in my entire life doesn't have any feelings for me.

I was working overtime for the past ten days. I was tired mentally and physically my colleagues told me to take some rest and stay at home for few days. But I refused and made an excuse saying I needed money urgently.

But right now I wished I should have listened and stayed at home.

Because.

In front of me, there is a black fog rapidly coming from know where. Space was distorted and suddenly a black gate that connects to dungeons seen in anime and manga is in front of me.

There is no one here due to the abnormal situation everyone ran away from this place. I am the only one who saw this wall size black gate forming. Right now I don't know what to do should I call the policy or should I enter it. Well, I wanted to die anyway so why not enter and see what's beyond the gate?

Feeling my resolve getting stronger, I started walking towards the gate which looked like the gates of hell and entered it.

***

Currently in every corner of the world gates which connect to the dungeon started appearing on Earth.

Some of the gates were in the sky, some of them were in the ocean, and even the volcanoes and coldest places on Earth were not spared.

People who saw the gates started panicking and running away from it some started to call the police trembling and fearing, and some of them lost consciousness after seeing the gate.

WORLD WAS IN CHAOS!
