I had written in the Gate Incident out of frustration after a lack of ideas in developing the plot left me with a sense of giving up. I, the author, who had been writing nothing but novels filled with bad endings and countless deaths, now found myself in the midst of such a catastrophic event. And as the protagonist, I had to either stop the madness or minimize the damage.
After the warp gates morphed into dimensional portals that connected to another world, all travel between warp gates became impossible. Furthermore, the imperial city had the largest number of warp gates on the entire continent.
Because the imperial city had the most warp gates, it suffered the greatest loss of human life. Yet it remained the imperial city. Though the city ended up under significant attack, it remained relatively unharmed thanks to the large number of soldiers stationed there and the presence of the Temple.
From that point on, it became crucial to either destroy the warp gates that were connected to the other world, or sever the connection completely.
Only the imperial city managed to handle the situation somewhat effectively. While nearly the entire continent was plunged into chaos, the imperial city remained safe, isolated from other regions.
Following this, the empire, which now consisted solely of the imperial city, and the Temple began a long and arduous fight to either destroy or restore the warp gates scattered across the continent. In the end, I never explained why the Gate Incident had happened in the first place. It simply happened out of the blue.
However, this world had so far supplemented any missing explanations with its own logic to fill in the gaps. Hence, there was a definite reason why the warp gates would suddenly become connected to another world. If I could discover that reason, I could prevent the Gate Incident from occurring at all.
This might have been the greatest punishment for my lazy writing style, which was skipping over important explanations out of convenience.
Because you skipped important details, you now have to find out for yourself what will happen, if that’s even possible.
That had to be the intention behind this.
If I couldn’t figure it out, tens of millions of people...
