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

The world around me blurred into streaks of light, a dizzying kaleidoscope of colors rushing past. I instinctively reached out, my fingers grasping at the luminous dots zipping by. For a split second, I thought they might be Mana, but reality crashed back in—this was just a simulation. A hyper-realistic one, but virtual nonetheless.

<p>I chuckled inwardly at my own foolishness. Of course, they couldn't replicate Mana here. Not yet, anyway. But who knew what the future held? With each passing day, we were uncovering more about the mysterious energy and the even more enigmatic gates. The possibilities seemed endless.</p>

<p>Suddenly, the rushing lights coalesced into a dense forest. Towering trees surrounded us, their canopies blocking out most of the simulated sunlight. The air felt thick, heavy with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. It was eerily quiet for a moment, the kind of silence that makes your skin prickle with anticipation.</p>
