WARNING: This novel is in the process of a rewrite as the early chapters are rough and the later chapters are too slow with the progress. This was my first attempt at a novel and it sucked but I didn't want to throw this aside as I knew the outline all the way until the ending. The rewrite will basically be one year (in the timeline) later where there's more action. 

Ryan Carter, a 26-year-old man, finds his ordinary life disrupted when a mysterious white rift appears in the sky over his city. As the world reacts to this strange phenomenon, Ryan is swept up into the unfolding events, which will drastically change the course of his life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What this novel is about:
This novel is a more realistic take or my attempt at it on what happens when a modern world gets hit by gates, magic, mana, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What to expect:
This novel will be very long, there will be a few slice of life elements but not the point where it becomes a slog. Currently, at chapter 35, the novel is making way for why Ryan's reason to becoming stronger. I don't want to have a MC who suddenly wants to gain power without any solid reasoning. There will be no harem. The word count for this novel will be above 1 million words. It might seem like there's too little chapters but most of my chapters are 2k words minimum. I'm currently at 2400 words per chapter average.

New chapters are released daily at 6:00 PM UTC+8.

The Inevitable End

I closed my eyes, visualizing the animation I had just seen. With a deep breath, I began to layer Mana on top of my Mana Core. The process felt strange, almost tangible, as if I were stacking thin sheets of cardboard on top of an orb of energy within my chest.

<p>Concentration was key. I recalled the guide's instructions: a minimum of 20mm thickness, with 30mm recommended. Some had even attempted 50mm, though the risk was higher. As I continued layering, I made a decision. Thirty millimeters wouldn't be enough. If I wanted to survive the gates, I couldn't afford to be overly cautious now.</p>

<p>I pushed on, aiming for 50mm. Surprisingly, I felt no pain as I reached this threshold. The guide had mentioned that pain would only come with the compression process. Emboldened by this lack of discomfort, I decided to push further. My experiences in Korzuv had honed my pain tolerance; surely, I could handle more than the average recruit.</p>
