Book Two Preview: Gateborn: Dominion
"You want to be a leader?
Then bleed first, stand last, and make damn sure no one under you dies for nothing."
- Vivian Reyes, senior Gateborn trainer
The world is no longer watching just one hero. Now, the spotlight shifts-to the guilds. To the systems that maintain order in the chaos.
With the rise of the Global Guild Treaty, all nations now recognize Guilds as sovereign responders to Gate activity. Conquered Gates yield mana crystals, powering everything from defense systems to medicine, industry, and even food production. A single crystal can fund a city. But only for a time-because Gates reset. Left unattended, they reawaken stronger.
Guilds race against the clock-balance economics, safety, and war.
And in the middle of all this...
A rookie stands at the edge of it all.
Enter: Nathaniel "Nate" Cordero,
former jeepney mechanic from Quezon City, now the newest recruit of Bukang Liwayway. He earned his spot not with flashy power, but grit, guts, and one hell of a lucky win in the prelims.
Now?
He's been assigned his own squad. All rookies. All unstable. All looking to him like he actually knows what he's doing.
Spoiler: He doesn't.
From day one, Nate struggles to balance training, logistics, and personalities-especially with his healer obsessed with otome games, a berserker who keeps breaking the cafeteria tables, and a quiet sniper who refuses to speak.
Their first mission:
Close a mid-tier Gate in Palawan before the mana crystal harvest window closes.
Failure means loss of income.
Loss of trust.
Loss of lives.
And the Gate?
It's changing.
Just like him.
