Gate???

-THUD!

"Ahh… Ouch!"

Landing on my butt, I involuntarily let out a sound. The thing that just happened was similar to how portals work. However, the force that pulled me inside was several times stronger than a portal.

Even if I ranked up several times, I felt that I could not resist such force.

Even Professor Mia who is in Rank-A+ could not resist that force and I think she has also been sucked into this place.

I thought for a while about the event that just occurred.

This place was definitely inside a Gate.

Gate is similar to a Dungeon but the time in the Gate is much slower than outside unlike a dungeon where one minute inside the dungeon is equivalent to one minute outside the dungeon.

In Gates, one month could mean 1 day or even only one second outside. Another difference between dungeons and gates was that gates' appearance would be accompanied by a powerful suction pull that would draw in everything in its vicinity.
