Inside the Gatespace

Nothing unusual happened when Rin woke up and opened his eyes. He thought there were going to be something unexpected that his master was going to do to him. He sighed and tried to stand.

"Ah!", When Rin curled his body body up. He felt he was carrying a huge boulder on top of him. He couldn't move his body at all. Only by using his full force could he move but it left him panting and sweating by just moving a little.

"Argh!", Rin grunted as he tried to walk, 'Is this really just two times restricting my boday. This felt like another double.'

With hardship, he successfully exited his room and went into the bathroom. Rin sighed, 'I should shower after this restriction will be back to normal.'

Now he has to get out of the bathroom. Now, it's extra movement. His face long became red as he eats the leftover food from last night which is pretty good, 'I may have a talent for cooking.'

He sweats for every muscle he moved, 'Uh! How am I going to school like this?', he chewed his food with hardship.

Due to Rin's sluggish movements, it took him a long time before finishing his food. Fortunately, he has woken up earlier than expected so he can take his time.

Rin furrowed when he entered the bathroom, 'Hardest obstacle…', he panted.

After a few noise and grunts coming from the bathroom for an hour, he finally exited and wore clothes which changed his mind what was the "Hardest obstacle…"

He was careful and didn't use too much effort to avoid sweating. After he was completely clothed, the ring blinked three times and his body suddenly felt lighter right after.

Rin sighed in relief. He moved his body and felt more freedom. Although it was still hard to move, it still easier than before that he could now breath more freely.

Rin looked at the "magical" ring in awe and wondered, 'How did Master even set this up and when? Did he already predicted everything?'

...

Far in the Gatespace, a grotesque-looking head with dark black eyes, sharp teeth, and skin that's repulsive. However, that face was making an expression of anger, terror, and despair. That was its face in its final moments. Its body was not even near it when its head dissolved onto the white floor and if you looked around, you'll notice that surrounding a man were thousands if not millions of monsters that was similar to that head that just dissolved.

Their bodies were random; some bulky to the point that their head are like tiny points, some thing to the point that they looked like bodiless heads floating, and a wide varieties of bodies. There are even those that have tentacles on their body, wings, tails, long ears, and even huge hands or legs.

However, different they may all be. There is one aspect that they have all in common: The red incandescent horn on their forehead. Although there are some that have small or big horn, but the fact is, they all have a single horn on their forehead.

They are inside a white room with four corners with the same length, width, and height. You could say that they are in a massice white cube. So massive that light seemed to cover the walls of this cube.

There are two huge doors opposite to one another. On the other door, there are continuously monsters entering and on the other, there is a single man floating in the air nonchalantly. All the monsters could only stare at him. Deep within their eyes, there's a hint of terror but all of their faces showed only hatred.

The man loudly sneezed but there are no echoes to be heard followed.

"Someone must be talking about me.", the man scratches his nose as he said this. He looked at his fingers and there is ring with a color of a ruby. At the same time he looked at it, it blinked three times, "Rin must've already adapted to the restrictions."

The man was obviously Elihim guarding the entrance from the invasion of the monsters fron the Underworld, he called Devils, alone.

It seemed impossible for him to guard the huge door behind him from the millions of monsters in front of him but surprisingly or othere may say expectedly, the monsters can only surround him with hesitation filled in their every movement. Others that are brave or plain stupid, rushed with the hope of getting in.

However, like the others, their head is mysteriously cut off from their body and a few momends after, the head and the body dissolved onto the white ground like they weren't even there.

Elihim yawned and lazily said, "I thought this is going to be a pain in the ass and it sure is. Why are you, weaklings, are the only ones from here? Don't the others want revenge?"

"…"

The Devils are all silent. They can't tell the reason for it and it is something that they greatly regretted.

"What? Can't tell that you stupidly ignored your officials' warning and ignorantly went here with all of your tiny brains?", Elihim laughed as he taunted them naturally but the Devils are too scared to be taunted, Elihim's eyes then looked at them with disdain and slowly added, "Like your God, stupid enough to die without anyone noticing, am I right?", then he added another chuckle like a villain.

That taunt is no longer a taunt for the Devils but a blasphemy. As a race that have a God that is materializing and showing his benevolence to them. Guiding them to power. They worshipped their God like their life dependent on it. In short, they are fanatical about their religion. They wouldn't accept others who mock their God in front of them even if it's another God.

Like a proof of their devotion to their God, they simultaneously rushed to Elihim, with no hope that they will survive. Actually, Elihim had already sealed and the other door and the ones that are inside couldn't warn the others entering the Gatespace so they have no chance of surviving.

All millions or more Devils that's surrounding Elihim jumped to him while shouting and crying for the last moment of their life, sacrificing for their God.
