DaoistSaqXPO
What if the only thing standing between our world and absolute annihilation… was already broken? When mysterious Gates begin erupting across India—ripping reality apart and spewing horrors from realms unknown—the Bureau is formed to control the chaos. Monks, soldiers, and psychics unite to fight the invaders… and fail. Enter Ashura Sen, a failed cadet with nothing but a cursed blade and a past wrapped in blood. Once rejected, now hunted, Ashura is forcibly dragged into a war that was written in the stars long before he was born. Turns out? He’s not just any Gatekeeper—he’s the Gatekeeper. The one destined to either seal the coming apocalypse… or unleash it. But destiny is a cruel master, and the shadows beyond the Gates are not what they seem. Divine beasts. Forgotten gods. Time-eating demons. And something ancient stirring beneath the surface of reality itself. With a cocky Bureau agent, a haunted sword, and cryptic whispers that won’t leave him alone, Ashura must race against a ticking cosmic clock. The Gate is cracking. And what comes through next... may erase existence itself.
