[Fact: The good times become great memories. The bad times become great lessons.]

[B-Rank Gate.]
Jennifer, Tyson and the rest of the group walked out with a confused expression.
"I'm confused, how the hell did that monster just Vanished the moment he pointed Jennifer and Tyson as Successors?" Rahond asked in mild confusion.
"I don't know, but Jennifer might have an idea." Violet turned to Jennifer, who was silent.
"Don't you have an idea?" She added In surprised.
"Let's go to the southern gate, Michael might know what's going on."
BEEP!!
[Conquerors! Meet us at the S-Rank gate.]
Michael's voice sounded in their heads.
"Let's go, something must be off."
Jennifer quickly walked towards her car, entering the back seat, while Ricky and Levi got in the front seats.
"Let's go then, they might be some explanation about this." Tyson walked towards his car, followed by Violet, and the rest.

[North gate.]
"Whoa!"
The chief guard gasped in shock, seeing the headless body of the Minotaur and the treasures being dragged out by The Kings Guild.
The guards stared with Awesome, as the gate closed behind them.
"Any news from the president?" Theo asked,
The news that there might be another S-Rank gate is rather unsettling.
"Mr Joker, the information we got a while ago state the president will be heading to the S-Rank gate, something might be going on there..."
"Get all your things ready, we are heading to the park."
"Yes sir!" The guard nodded, and walked to his group to give orders, while Theo turned to his members.
"Find a body bag, or anything that we can put this in." He burnt the neck on the body, stopping the blood flow.
"Fast! We must get to the S-Rank gate before an hour!" He yelled at them.

[Southern gate.]
Commander Wang walked out of the gate with his remaining soldiers, before they could catch their breath.
Mr Robert and Zukila walked up to them.
"Commander! General Michael asked everyone to meet him at the park!"
"Michael?" Glen frowned slightly.
"It might have something to do with the S-Rank gates that Orc mentioned, let's go!"
The Soldiers nodded, and followed behind Robert and Zukila.

[Amerisa's Park.]
Michael sat on the ground with eyes closed, backing the S-Rank gate, while Erika, Mira, Maria, and the ghost guild stood at his side... Wondering what he's doing.
[Countdown: 22:34:43.]
'The system won't be able to do, or answer anything with this countdown... And I haven't placed any points in my stats, at the moment I won't be able to face a Grandmaster 5-star holder... Why did I make such a fuck-up mistake? I can only wait for 22 hours, but this gateway will open in about 1 hour.'
VOOM!!
BOOM!!
More than 50 cars and Military Vehicles drove inside the large park, stopping in front of Michael and his group, All the people and reporters had been chased out of the vicinity, some even started Vacating the area.
"General Michael!!"
Michael opened his eyes, seeing all the soldiers numbering Hundreds, and Amerisa's powerhouses in front of him, what caught his attention was the body being dragged by the Kings Guild.
"What is that?" He slowly stood up.
"Body of the Boss in the North A-Rank gate, maybe it can be useful."
Michael walked up to the Minotaur, and without hesitation, plunged his hand into the chest, being out a red circle object, like an orb.
"This is what AI announced in the new server." He showed it at the stunned onlookers.
In front of everyone, he absorbed it, not caring that the one who killed it was right in front of him.
<Congratulations player Supreme, For Absorbing a Lv90 Monster's core, You have ranked up into the Second star of the Grandmaster Medal.>
'It's better than nothing.' He looked at the soldiers and players in front of him.
More than 200 people gathered in the park, and the weakest was a Platinum Medal holder... Well... Bronze, if you add Mira and Maria.
"We all thought this gateway will open in two weeks, but no one expected it'll open in less than an hour... Thanks to those fools... We now know this. I called you all here for one reason, "To fight for our survival"!! And the only way to achieve that is to enter this gate, clear it before it opens." He moved his gaze on his members, and Soldiers.
"We have another disturbing news, The monsters revealed that there are more S-Rank gates in our world, but we have no idea where these gates are, or when they'll open... But our priority at the moment is to clear this gate in front of us, then... We can think about searching for the rest S-Rank gates, we can only hope they aren't in any city."
The people in front of him nodded, each one of them understood the situation they were in.
"What if there are other S-Rank gates In the Amerisa?" Tyson asked.
"We have checked the whole Amerisa, all its territories... No Gates found, If there really is an S-Rank gate, it'll be in the other cities." Amerisa's president answered him.
"But for backup, We have a little help." Michael raised his head to the sky.
Everyone followed his gaze, seeing a young man with white hair standing on Midair, with hands folded behind him.
"I have notified the Founder, he'll be in the City tomorrow morning." Arian said, moving his gaze from one person to another.
"That's an Elite Medal 5-star holder!" Rahond was stunned in place.
"He's the first Disciple of the Founder! I can't believe this!" Violet added.
"I never thought someone with white hair could look so handsome."
Arian turned his head to Maria, and flashed her a smile, which made her blush instantly.
"If that's all taken care of, Let's move... We have only 30 minutes left!"
With that said, Michael turned around, and walked towards the gate, followed by The Conquerors, then the soldiers; and lastly the players.
"All of you should be careful!!" The President yelled.
Arian stared at them as they walked inside the gate one at a time.
"The battle of our survival begins."
