Gate to Hell

" Fuck ." Sam couldn't help but curse as he fell on his butt . He was looking down from the peak of the mountain and all he saw were hordes of monsters , who , to this moment , hadn't noticed him looking down at them . " That's going to attack this planet ? " He asked , looking towards a small orb of light floating by his side .

" Yes . In about 11 months , 13 days and 3 hours . Like I said , this planet is doomed and my organization wants to evacuate those who can connect with an energy . I am here to help you mortals form a connection with the energies . " The light replied .

" Is there really no way ? Can't we like destroy their source or something ?" Sam asked .

" The strongest existences in the multiverse had to look for people to fight at the lower levels , just so they don't get drowned in these hordes . Do you think they wouldn't have tried anything that was possible ?" The light replied " Anyways , my job is to help you people connect with the energies , the rest is up to you . If you can become strong enough , you will be teleported to the hub , if you can't , try fighting them when the gates can't hold them back . It's all up to you . "

Sam looked at the monsters below once more " So you guys have let this planet go ? "

The light hit his head and without waiting for him to complain , started speaking " Do you realize how many planets are under our protection ? Any single planet is completely worthless . We are only evacuating limited people who can fight against the monsters . They will be useful in this war . The rest , well , we don't really care about them . It's your choice , really . Either let me help you and leave this planet , or stay knowing about inevitable death . "

Sam was in no way some saint who will want to save the others when he had the chance to just leave .

' And no one can call me heartless as I clearly have no choice in this .' He thought as he lightly shook his head .

" So , what do you choose ? I can help you connect with an energy and let you awaken or you can simply walk back to the normal world , where there is no fighting ."

Sam looked at the orb for a second before shaking his head " Is there even a need to think ? Of course I will fight and leave ."

The end of the world wasn't something that could be put out in the open , as the simple fact that there were people who had superpowers would be enough to cause mass hysteria .

The orbs of light didn't select everyone who passed by a gate , but only certain individuals which they deemed worthy in the fight against the monsters on the other side of the gate.

The government , of course knew about these gates and the ones selected by these angels and they did their best to keep this all under wraps .

Currently , in an office , all the information about Sam was already dug out the moment he got selected by the angel .

" Sam Ruscott , 17 . No affiliations , no relatives , no priors . It's like he didn't exist before now . His parents died in an accident 3 years ago and after that he's not had much contact with anyone . Usually spends his days in his house playing games . He found the gate by accident when he went on a usual jog but turned on the wrong road due to construction . " Said a lady as she read from a thin file in front of her . " His main source of income is his games and he has no documents that link him to any country . If he wasn't born here , he might as well have been an immigrant . "

The man on the other side of the table didn't seem satisfied with the information . He tapped his finger on the table a few times before he spoke " Is there nothing to bind that boy ? "

" Nothing ." The lady replied " Though the same can be said of his chances of going public with the information on gates . He has only online friends , which can be managed like a few of the older gifted . He has never met any of them , so that makes it easier ."

The man sighed as he looked at the woman " Why do I need to stay if you guys can manage everything . From what I'm hearing , this boy might even leave right away . I'm just a slight bit of points away from being teleported . Why not let me go as well . "

The lady removed her glasses and put them on the table " You were the one who suggested staying to keep all these gifted in line . You wanted to be the warden , no one asked it of you . "

The man sighed and looked the lady's body " Guess I did want to be the one in control . "
