Cover Art custom commissioned by the author and made by Hawari on Fiverr. Ranked #1 #gate 3/3/25 DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gate nor the images I'm using. I'm writing this story based on the Anime, I never read the manga or the novel. Despite the title, the story introduces a vast expansion in the world and lore of gate as well as changes, but everything remains true to the Gate formula. At first It was supposed to be only a Gate X Marine fanfic but over time it developed into an alternative plot line diverging from the original so don't be surprised why the first season strictly sticks to canon.
