-Oriana Mengral's point of view.
"Haa..."
I sighed, feeling the weight of exhaustion.
I had been through such an exhausting day that I hadn't had a second of rest.
This was all due to a recent big problem related to the teleportation gates.
"How could all this happen? I don't think it's just the dimensional rift."
"It's still a long way from this affecting the Dungeons and the teleport gates."
All the teleport gates were destroyed simultaneously.
This affected not only the academy, but the entire world.
On several continents and kingdoms, everywhere there were teleportation gates, they were suddenly destroyed.
In just ten minutes, all the teleportation gates in the world collapsed.
Neighboring kingdoms and continents farther away from the Agrona continent sent information to their neighboring lands, assuring them that they were not the only ones where the teleportation gates had been destroyed.
This led to all the kingdoms of the world going on alert.
Rumors circulated that hundreds of mages and adventurers were trapped inside the Dungeons due to the sudden collapse of all the teleportation gates.
Since that day, the doors were suddenly destroyed.
Leaving hundreds of people trapped in Dungeons all over the world.
"It was a relief that they got out at just the right time."
Oriana knew that all of Asher's friends, including her brother, had entered a Dungeon and exited just as all the teleportation doors collapsed simultaneously.
Oriana had been horrified; however, she was relieved to learn of the return of the cadets from the Dungeon.
Fortunately, no cadets were trapped inside the Dungeons.
However, there were reports of several fourth and fifth year cadets.
Oriana then looked at the report that had come to her not too long ago.
"This is..."
Her eyes widened as she realized something rather serious.
"All the Dungeons in the world from grade 7 to 9.... Had a collapse."
It was a considerable notice.
Because all Grade 6 to 9 Dungeons were destroyed without a trace.
Truly, the world was becoming distorted.
"It's because of the dimensional rift."
However, there was no way to know for sure.
It was known to the higher-ups and leading figures throughout the continent that the dimensional rift would begin to affect the teleportation gates and low-grade Dungeons in at least three years.
However.
"This is all caused by the dimensional rift."
This meant that possibly the dimensional rift would open in six years.
The problem was:
"Will the cadets even be strong enough to survive?"
When the dimensional rift opens, it will be the descent of monsters above grade 1.
During the past few months, a meeting was held with the most powerful and influential mages, along with several other realms.
"There is now grade 0."
It was announced that grade 0 was now a reality.
But what does that mean?
In simple terms:
Grade 0 monsters or beings are those that are at least hundreds of times stronger than Grade 1 monsters.
In other words, if dragons really exist, they would be the first species to be classified as "Grade 0 power."
However, there is currently no information about these beings.
But with the opening of the dimensional rift, this story about dragons could become true.
"Mmm..."
Oriana looked through more documents she had not yet read, sent by the kingdom.
After all, Oriana is the chancellor of the Mengral kingdom, with such high authority that the reports she receives are of the highest importance and classified.
Therefore, she began to read the document.
"Grade 2 and 3 monsters came out of Dungeons today, on the very day of the worldwide collapse of the teleportation gates.... This..."
Oriana couldn't find words to describe what she felt.
This meant that the Grade 2 and below Dungeons were suffering ruptures on the same day the gates collapsed.
"What is happening?"
There was no answer to all of this.
Everything was happening as if the end of the world was slowly beginning today.
However, this was too soon.
Oriana continued reading.
But something unexpected, which she never thought would happen, occurred.
"This... is impossible."
She looked carefully at the document.
It was a piece of paper with a red-colored seal.
This meant that it contained information of the highest importance.
"The... Tower Dungeon... opened."
A dungeon that had appeared out of nowhere over a decade ago.
It is considered the grade 1 dungeon with the lowest survival rate in existence.
Classified as the dungeon impossible to clear.
It was said that inside was a tower that surpassed the height of the heavens, thousands and thousands of miles upward.
Once wizards entered without being teleported to the second floor of this tower.
However, although they managed to clear the second floor, the second floor was closed.
A very strange magic sealed the entrance to the second floor.
Despite having cleared the second floor, the death of countless mages, who were very powerful and important, occurred.
In simple terms, they were ninth circle mages.
Therefore, this dungeon was known as impossible to clear.
However, the second floor suddenly opened eight hours ago.
Was this a normal occurrence?
Because the doors, dungeons, dungeon breaks with grade 2 and 3 monsters, and now the impossible-to-clear dungeon had just opened.
"Haa... All this... it looks like the headmaster will be leaving the academy."
Because what all this information indicated meant that the strongest people in the world would gather in one place to discuss everything that happened that day.
"At any moment, the principal will call all the teachers."
Because Headmaster Wilbek also got the same information.
In fact, the most powerful wizards in the world have an authority almost equal to that of a king ruling the entire continent.
Therefore, Director Wilbek, being also one of the strongest in the world, has an authority similar to that of the king of the Agrona continent.
Of course, his information would be the same as what Oriana has at the moment.
Because his authority is no joke.
"Mmm... Looks like this is it for the time being."
The grade 2 and 3 dungeon breaches happened not too long ago, exactly eight hours ago, so the report reached Oriana only recently.
The same goes for the information about the gates and tower dungeon; therefore, all this information is being compiled in the same way with the kingdoms of other continents.
It is information that both the Agrona continent and the other neighboring continents shared, although there were some who refused.
"It seems they also have information."
But they did not share it like the rest of the continents.
In fact, the Agrona continent is not the largest continent; however, its power is the highest of all the continents.
Therefore, most of the information given by various continents also reached the Agrona continent and then Oriana.
Similarly, the information about the dimensional rift was provided only to the high commanders of all continents.
Because this was to be an alliance once the dimensional rift opened.
If the other continents joined together, there would be a chance of dealing with the dimensional rift.
Meanwhile, the higher ups received the same information as Oriana.
"How will my ... father and mother at this time?"
The king and queen.
The highest authority of the continent and the rulers of the continent.
It had been a while since Oriana had seen her mother; however, she could get a rough idea of how her father would be right now.
"You must be hectic right about now, right, father?"
Oriana thought.
Because she knew when her father was hectic in situations like this.
It's a problem that affects everyone.
Therefore, her father would be even busier than herself or Director Wilbek.
In a sense, the king is not only an authority figure.
He is also a magician.
And, in fact, a very strong one.
Compared to headmaster Wilbek.
But his burden as king is not something to be taken lightly, as he must stay on top of everything, participate in meetings with the higher-ups and solve problems with other continents.
It is true that he is powerful, but his position as king is even greater.
"Well, I should go see my disciple and sister."
Oriana stretched, relaxing her whole body as she walked out of his office.
Bottom line.
The world was in chaos, especially the higher ups and the kings of all the continents.
Because collapse and sudden dungeon crashes were happening all over the world.
The strongest would be moving first thing tomorrow morning.
It was possible that even the classes would be stricter, and possibly....
"I think the information about the dimensional rift will be revealed very soon."
Not now, but it was close to being released to the world.
Although it is true that few people know the true meaning of the dimensional rift.
Those who do know, think it is the end of the world.
Because it is the greatest destruction that can come to the world.
And the challenge where all humans must unite to stop all the destruction...
