Rank E Gate
sunlight hit the windows of the buildings, the people are starting to get up to make breakfast all gloomy and still tired—yawning until they reach the kitchen.
Ordering hot coffee in a shop, full of people walking and driving to work. Receiving calls from the boss and running late....
.....until a slight omnious feeling touches their hearts. A Gate shows up, all the people starting to panic and calling on their phone.
#727# — Gates Association (GA)
A Government-based agency that handles all negotiations and responsible for handling the Gate — it means that they measure the Gates [Mana-level] to determine it's rank (E to S).
"Hello! This is the Gates Association, how may I help you?" The Agent said upon receiving the call from one of the citizens.
"H-Hi! This is the GA right? I am at the Balter Mart and a Gate shows up. How long can you get here?" the citizens
The Agent is flustered upon hearing it and started to pant and tell the precautions to the caller.
"Ok Ms. try to make a distance to the Gate and try to look to your surrounding if there is a [Gifted] and try to ask for some assistance to them. Our Agents are on the way. " The agent said according to the Precautions Order.
"uhmmmm.....I don't see any [Gifted] here and only civilian so we try to make some distance to it." the civilian said far away from the Gate.
"Good Job Ms." The Agent said.
[15 min's later]
a black car stopped in front of the Gate. 4 men wearing a tuxedo came out and one of them took out a gadget called [Ano-meter].
[Mana-meter] is a device that measures the level of Ano density circulating inside the Gate.
~0-9,999 = Rank E
~10,000-29,999 = Rank D
~30,000-49,999 = Rank C
~50,000- 79,999 = Rank B
~80,000- 999,999 = Rank A
~1Million and up = Rank S [ Or sometimes an [Error] sign shows up that indicates that the Meter can't measure the "Level of Mana" and considered immediately as an S-rank]
In the Balter Mart, the Agents of the GA measured [8,563] which is equivalent to [Rank E] and they have reported the scene to the GA to complete the task.
The Truck put some barricades encircling the Gate and put a sign (Rank E) around it. The Gates appearance is like a giant opened door with a whirlpool like appearance inside, it was really beautiful to see.
*****
After the landlady came in last night. This really gives no choice but to earn money. Based on this mans memory for a [Gifted] to earn money they must join a guild and sign a contract as a payment like a normal employee.....
There is also another way to earn, by collecting stones and artifacts that can be found inside the gates and selling them to GA.
After I decided to to earn money, i decided to raid a [E rank] Gate to experiment to determine how dangerous the Gate. If I'm right that the Gates are far more difficult than I anticipated I will withdraw immediately and gather information on how to survive in the Gate.
*sigh*
"Why doe this man only have this kind of clothes? he only has 2 pairs of it. After I pay for my rent I'll buy some clothes, I hope I can find some inexpensive clothes"
I have walked 3 blocks away from my house and reach the Balter Mart where a [E rank] Gate. So i gather all my courage to make my feet move and enter the Gate.
Even though I have this man's memory, he almost die by fighting some slimes. If this man is weak I not sure whether I can fight because I'm new to this world.
"Here goes nothing!" I said to myself as a encouragement.
Rank E gates having a 10 thousand level point according to the [Ano-meter], is said to be the weakest of all. So as per the regulation and Agreement of the GA and Guilds, E rank gates are used for training ground for new Gifted people. So many E rankers like me are entering for us to gain experience in fighting the monsters that resides in here.
For us to be able to close the Gate we must defeat the Boss. After defeating the boss the gate will slowly close starting exactly 10 Hours [outside time] after defeating the boss.
"Hey System! does this means that the monsters inside the Gates is also E rank?" I asked the system based on my curiosity.
I need to ask thr System because if I'm going to use this man's memory I may have walk on the right side of the road.
[Answer: Yes, the Rank and the Mana-level of the Gate will determine the power of the monsters inside. But that does not necessarily mean it determine the power of the Gate Boss.]
"ahhh is that so? Then another question, why does the Gate exist?"
[Answer: The world need correction and in order to do that "Order and Chaos" must be given to restore balance.]
This is it, I now enter the Gate. It feels like wall but also feels like a wind that touches me. My eyes widens as well as my pupils. It's like another world.
[Notice: The Gifted entered the Gate.
Gate Type: Jungle/Forest Type.]
"So this is what's inside a Gate, huh. Interesting."
I was standing in a cliff and saw mountains and falls and countless trees below me. So i decided to jumped in the cliff and reach the bottom. Thank goodness I can still control my power and landed perfectly.
I carefully walked around completely on guard for any enemy. Nearby my location a shockwave was felt and I thought it was monster so I tried to check it out, and use stealth to hide.
"Thanks to the Ring, I have no presence at all."
I was at the branch of the tree and overseeing the battle of few [E Rankers VS Goblins.] In my world, Goblins may be strong to some weak human but they are not much of the threat to group of people. I wonder how strong are they here.
"Are they in a group?" As I saw a group of Rankers fighting a herd of Goblins so I ask the system.
"Hey System! Why are they in a group?" I asked and the Window shows up.
[Note: The Real Augustus doesn't know anything about Party because he's introvert and an idiot.]
[Answer: Yes! Many Rankers tend to form a group called 'Party']
I notice that some of them are doing different thing so I added that as a question too.
"hmmm so a Party, huh. So why are they doing a different job?"
[Answer: There are requirements to meet to be called a Party. It is are called 'Position']
I have never heard of such words before applying in a group of people, does it mean something? Even in my world I have no recollection about those terms.
"Hey System! can you explain what is 'Position'?" I asked, without hesitation the System answers. This is really a useful thing, huh.
[Answer: Inside the Gate, it is always a Team Battle and the Position is your role to make balance of the team and to have a successful outcome of the battle.
List of Position:
[Sword] — They are the Arms of the team.
They fight at close quarter with the enemy, the main force and firepower of the team.
[Shield] — The Body of the team.
They fight and kill the enemy to help the Sword. They are also responsible to 'Protect' the team.
[Overseer] — The Commander of the battle.
They are the Rankers who mainly uses [Mana] to command and fight the enemy, the supporter and controller of the battle thus, the Overseer is the Brain of the team.
[Ranger] — The Eyes of the team.
They fight at close quarter as well as long range fight with the enemy and responsible to finding the weaknesses and disseminating the information to the team.
[Healer] — The Heart of the Team.
They Heal those people who are wounded. They are Rare Gifted their only power is to Heal (Non-combatant)
They are the most important person in the team, they must be protected no matter what]
[Note: They cannot make a Party as long as they don't have a Healer.]
"hmmmm.... interesting. So it's like a suicide mission if the team doesn't have a [Healer]. They are well coordinated in terms of role so you won't need to worry about anything else."
Back in my world, we don't have that kind of Positions. We just fight everyone and try to survive.....
"Now I get the gist of it, shall we try to fight some monsters?"
