Gate Series の小説・ストーリー

This is the answer. The carriage stopped just in time and Genieva got off. I also went down because I wanted to see the structure in full view. And I wasn't wrong, it's even more amazing up close. The main gate is as high as a twenty-story building. The gate is made of gold I think and thick and solid. Some carvings made the gate more so unrealistic. My gosh, aren't people here afraid that the gate here might be stolen? If it was still in the Philippines, it would have been hacked for a long time. And above the gate, there is Artistic lettering of VA that looks like the style of the Volkswagen logo but instead of VW, it says VA. I already have a hint about those initials but it could also be

Maybe a bit of TV would help distract me. "...update on the developing story for tonight, we will switch to our on-site correspondent Ms. Gabi Hay." "Good evening Ted, and all our viewers. This is Gabi Hay currently reporting from outside the restriction zone of the Fault Line 45 just outside the Western Manila area where a confirmed Anomaly Gate materialized. The Gate was evaluated to be at Rank A-5 by the Anomaly Guard and as such was put on the Clearance List. Well, just three hours ago, we received information that a Freelancer was taking on the task solo, and he has just finished! A marvellous success, as expected from S-Rank Necromancer Jester Lee--"

"This place hates undocumented movement. So we document it wrong." Jack blinked. Katherine stared at her sister as if she had just said something mathematically obscene and useful. Haley grabbed a drifting contract fragment. It sliced her palm. She hissed, then wrote in blood across a closed gate: AUTHORIZED FAMILY NONSENSE ACCESS. The gate flickered. The Prime Analyst snapped its attention toward her. Invalid credential. Haley slapped another fragment onto it. AUTHORIZED BY ABSOLUTELY NOT AUXILIARY STERLING. The gate flickered harder.

Security spots my ID immediately as I flash it mid-stride, and they wave us through the priority lane without a scan, their faces tightening with recognition of the urgency. “Go, Mr. Vorian,” one guard says firmly. “We have got eyes on them at the gate. Move!” We sprint toward Gate M18, the sign glowing red in the distance down the long concourse. Shoes pound on the tiled floor in rhythmic thuds, and Zephyr stays right beside me, our breaths syncing in the rush, sweat already beading on our foreheads from the exertion. The gate comes into view amid a milling crowd of travelers, some boarding, others waiting with phones in hand.

Before I got out of my car, I called Adamson and told him to come find me if he did not hear from me within two hours. Shannon had his guards search my body and ensure no one was following me. “You sure are being careful,” I said sarcastically to the guards. Unfortunately for them, they could never find the hidden cameras in my contacts. Shannon smirked lazily at me. “Remember what I said, Weston? See, you came after all.” I glanced at him. “Where’s Gwen?”

*** On the surface, Kael’s team did not come quiet. Four vehicles cut their engines a kilometer out and rolled the last stretch in neutral, headlights off. Their silhouettes barely darker than the night. As they hit the fence line, engines rumbled awake. “Gates about to have a very bad evening,” Dima said from the front passenger seat. Yana’s voice came over comms. “Charges set.” “Execute,” Kael said. The front gate detonated in a blossom of controlled force—enough to rip the metal wide, not enough to crater the yard. Sirens—physical ones, human ones—began to wail a second later.

I vaulted down the stairs right behind him, swinging my leg over the Sovereign. "You aren't going out there alone," I told him, kicking the engine to life. The deep, flawless Origin-Code combustion purred beneath me. "Wouldn't dream of it, Ghost," Dax said, pulling his bandana up over his nose. The massive hydraulic gears of Coldwater’s main gates groaned. Dust and rust fell from the hinges as the sixty-foot durasteel doors slowly parted, revealing the sprawling, chaotic army waiting outside. The roar of the crowd died down instantly. Thousands of eyes locked onto the gates.

I crossed along the wall, staying out of the open center, and reached the residential block's east corner without incident. From here I could see the gate. The replacement guard's name I didn't know. I had seen him twice during daylight rotations, young, maybe twenty, with the slightly self-conscious bearing of someone who was still getting comfortable with the weight of the responsibility. He stood at the gate with his back mostly toward me, watching the exterior approach. Garrett's shift ended at the second hour past midnight. I had watched the handover three times from the library window, which had a sightline to the gate's approach path. Garrett left. The replacement arrived. Between the

The lead agent responded, "Negative. We need to prioritize the surface." The agents proceeded without detecting his presence. ( Confirm ) Kael moved forward as the slope became steeper. His panel opened and updated. [ Surface Distance: 240 meters ] Gate 2 is smaller than Gate 3. It is used for maintenance rather than fieldwork. Kael stepped out from behind storage crates in an unmarked maintenance shed. He noticed two relaxed security officers at the gate controls. The Core was calm as he reached the surface. ( Standard ) His panel opened again and displays a synchronization update.

He did not speak other than to confirm my identity and then with a curt nod we were headed to the airfield. As we reached the airfield my phone rang. I glanced at the screen that read Bossy Alpha. Noticing the name assigned to Drake I hit ignore. I shot him a text that let him know I would be out of town for a little while and then shut my phone off. I knew if I left that phone on I would either be bombarded with more calls or an endless stream of text messages. I boarded the plane and ordered a drink. I pulled the envelope from my bag and began reviewing what little information I had. There were my security credentials for this mission, along with hotel information and a room key. There was
