Once again, the wailing siren rang out from the loudspeaker, signaling an announcent to be made. Shaan instantly woke up from his dream and directed his gaze towards the wall clock in his room, showing 6:00 am. Gosh, it’s still 6:00 am? What kind of announcent is this anyway?
’To all amateur Daemonists, there will be a session about the Midnight gate at 8 am in the hall. All of you must attend this session before continuing the training session, along with each ntor. Thank you.’
Listening to the announcent, Shaan simply nodded his head. He understood what the discussion would be about the Midnight gate. Surely it would discuss the kinds of midnight gates that consisted of various kinds, and of course, each gate had its uniqueness.
He also found out that behind the Midnight Gate is a huge world that’s supposedly really similar to the one Shaan lives in. He picked up all this info thanks to his hobby of reading magazines and websites about Daemonists—sotis he even loses track of ti because he gets so into it.
"I’d better get ready now," Shaan lightly stretched. "Oh, wow, Mr. Dion’s dicine works like magic," he said as he watched the bruises on his body fade quickly. "And it’s good that the pain in my body is starting to disappear."
He quickly made his bed, then rushed to the bathroom to clean himself up. A few minutes later, he picked up his clothes, which had been hanging on the chair near the bathroom door.
"Hmm... wait, sothing seems strange." Shaan put his arm into the shirt that was starting to feel a bit tight. "Is it just , or is this shirt starting to run small?"
Shaan quickly walked over to the full-length mirror near the door and then looked at his body. His eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly when he realized that his body looked... way more built than before. Sure, he still wasn’t as ripped as Mr. Maximus, but at least he could see his biceps and triceps starting to show. Nice- looks like Mr. Maximus’s insane training is working.
"Interesting," Shaan admired his new physique, clearly impressed with how far he’d co. "I’m just curious how grandma will react when he sees my current appearance. For sure, she will be very startled when seeing my body that was once as thin as a board getting built."
With full confidence, Shaan then put on his clothes and walked out of his room to the main kitchen as usual. While walking through the food racks, this ti the contents were quite different. Things like cereals and sweets were only in one food shelf combined, and the rest were all foods that had a high protein content.
This ti, the food provided seed to contain a lot of protein, starting from boiled red at, beans, chicken breast soup, and boiled eggs. Not only that, there was an additional drink provided in the form of soy milk placed at the end of the food rack. Of course, this must have been the company owner’s idea to maintain the ideal shape of all Daemonists to ensure the extre training they had done did not go to waste.
"I’ll try this soy milk."
After choosing his morning al, he then decided to sit down, and this ti he was lucky enough to be seated for the second ti. He once again got a seat which was not far from the position of the food shelves. Good, at least he wouldn’t have any trouble getting another al if he was still starving.
" It’s ti to try this drink," Shaan excitedly took a sip of soy milk. "Yuck. What is this milk? It tastes weird and is not sweet. I just wonder why people like to drink drinks like this?"
After finishing his morning als, Shaan decided to walk to the hall that was the location of today’s session. A large stage was seen a few ters in front of Shaan, and there was a projector complete with a large projection screen placed adjacent to the stage. Several rows of chairs were also seen neatly arranged in the hall, and one by one, people began to sit on the seats that had been provided.
’I’d better sit in one of these seats and wait like everyone else.’
Shaan chose a seat that was at the back of the row. There were still so empty seats in the front row, but he didn’t seem too comfortable in the front row. After all, even if he did sit in the back row, the projection screen was big enough that he could see the material very clearly.
A few minutes after everyone had gathered inside the hall, Mr. Luis, followed by a few of his officers, made their way to the stage. There was also a tall, brown-haired woman wearing the Tar of Darkness uniform walking along with Mr. Luis with a blue folder in her hand.
’Strange, what is that woman carrying?’
"Good morning, to all of you," said Mr. Luis as he looked around. Today, we will begin the material to find out about the knowledge of the Midnight gate, which will be presented by Miss Khaya. The floor is yours."
"Alright, thank you. Mr. Luis. Today I will explain about the Midnight gate because so of you may not be familiar with it." he snapped his fingers, then slowly the screen projection showed a slide of information about the Midnight gate. "Midnight gate is a mysterious portal that forms at midnight. So far, from the data that has been obtained, there have been three kinds of Midnight gates, which are: Noctis Gate, Full moon Gate, and Bloodmoon Gate."
"What is the difference between the three Midnight gates?" asked one of the curious participants.
"The Noctis gate is a monster portal that appears every midnight. Most of these portals only contain lower-level creatures of darkness and should be easy for Amateur Daemonists and Seekers of Light to deal with. The color of the portals is pink to reddish-red, just like the color of the simulated portals you have done before," she directed the slide to the side. Then there is the Full Moon gate. The full moon gate is a portal that will open once a month, and the color of this portal is red. Inside this portal, there are creatures of darkness that have quite strong powers compared to the Noctis portal. To enter this portal, it is recomnded that you must already be at the level of Seeker of Light or Tar of Darkness to be able to defeat this creature," Ms. Khaya explained. "And lastly, the terrifying portal that contains the top-level terrifying creature, called the Blood Moon Gate. A portal that only appears during the red moon, or what is called the doomsday portal."
"Doomsday portal? Why is that?" asked one of the black-haired female participants with a tense face.
"Because within that portal lie terrifying creatures—and if they are not stopped, the world as you know it will be destroyed forever."
