《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 70: Trans-Dimensional Portal (1)

"You need just 5 right?" Arnold said.
"...yes." The official replied.
"That's doable," Arnold smirked, "Come forth."
A second later, the government official was surrounded by 4 out of Arnold's 6 elite summons, Duke, Cerberus, Talos, and Bad-Breath. Chills went down his spine when all of the summons simultaneously released their murderous aura, the government official was completely overwhelmed by them and could barely speak.
"I suppose this should be enough?" Arnold smirked after seeing the official's reaction.
"I-I suppose it s-should be okay..." the employee managed to spurt out what he wanted to say before his legs gave out and he stumbled and fell in front of Arnold.
"And Gabriel... well have a talk when I return, till then guard the portal and make sure no one gets in." Arnold gave a sharp look to the men who were prepared to enter the dungeon instead of him.
All of them were equipped with a weird, white coloured battle armour that looked like it was made of bones from various monsters. On each of their chests was an insignia of the guild they belonged to, 'White Wolves'. The black colored stars were visible one of the their shoulders, this was the ranking system used by their guild. Under this system, having 2 stars meant the warrior was of rank C, 3 stars meant that the person was at rank B, 4 stars meant rank A, and 5 stars meant rank S. However, as far as Arnold knew, not a single members of their guild was of rank S so all Arnold could see was warriors having 3 or 4 stars.
Even though they didn't have a single S ranked warrior in their guild, they were still one of the most successful guild of Brazil. Why you ask? Because this guild was a private guild which was owned by the son of the current President of Brazil.

'Nepotism and corruption, always go hand in hand...' Arnold let sighed heavily as he entered the purple coloured portal¹.
To everyone's surprise, the moment Arnold walked into the dungeon, 7 warriors of the White Wolves guild simultaneous jumped in as well, while the rest of them blocked the path of everyone else. Hence blocking Gabriel and Christina from entering the portal as well.
All of this happened while national news channels were covering this incident, but both Gabriel and Christina doubted that any action would be taken against the White Wolves as the President had most of the media outlets as well as the security agencies in his pockets.
"I'm calling brother... this time these idiots went too far." Christina was fuming, Gabriel was trying his best to calm her down, but even he was slightly worried about Arnold.
"Please be okay, Arnold irmão." He mumbled.

"Now this is something new..." Arnold blew a whistle as he entered the dungeon, but unlike what he was expecting, the interior of this dungeon was like a dense rainforest.
The forest was tremendously huge, murky, and budding. Its canopy was monopolized by cypress, fir, and dogwood trees, and rays of light bursting through their crowns allowed for a motley of plants to spread in the fertile soils below. Thick branches hung from many trees, and a hodgepodge of flowers, which were scattered sporadically, looked almost out of place in the otherwise dark green landscape. A clamor of beastly sounds, most of which were foraging beasts, filled the air, and overpowered the occasional sounds of birds of prey gliding in the air. It was like an ecosystem of monsters and beasts. Arnold had never seen such a beautiful yet dangerous place in his life.
"Is this a trans-dimensional portal?" Arnold mumbled.

Unlike the other dungeons he had been to, this type of dungeon was called a trans-dimensional dungeon.
These type of dungeons were extremely rare but had been discovered before in various countries. Essentially these portals acted as a gateway between two different realms. The only problem with these dungeons was that unlike the other dungeons which had a single entrance and exit, this dungeon had different entry and exit portals and in order to activate the exit portal, one had to defeat all the monsters present inside the dungeon... including the boss level monster. There was another issue with this type of dungeon.
Since this dungeon wasn't in the 'human world', none of the human technology would function inside these dungeons. Meaning his communicator and surveillance devices were useless. But clearing a trans-dimensional dungeon was highly rewarding as most of these dungeons had enchanted gears hidden inside them, and even though Arnold couldn't use these weapons due to his [cosmic creationist] class, he could always give them to his summons to indirectly increase his combat power.
"Is it possible that those white bast*rds already knew that this dungeon was a trans-dimensional dungeon?" Arnold thought as he carefully looked around the forest he was in, "As far as I know, there's no way they could have known it..."
Arnold was still thinking about what he should do next when a couple of mammoth like beasts surrounded him and prepared to attack him at any moment.
'Behemoths²? Let's see if they are strong enough to be resurrected later on...' Arnold smiled as he called upon his newest summon, Asterios³, a brown skinned minotaur whose strength even exceeded the strength of Duke when he was in his reaper form. Right now Asterios was his strongest summon in terms of strength but he wasn't very sharp... one could call him pea brain.
"Asterios, think you can handle one of them?" Arnold asked the 12 feet tall minotaur, who huffed loudly and mindlessly charged at the behemoth in front of him.
"At least his energy and spirit make up for his mindlessness... Now let's handle the other guy."

1. The colours of the portal signifies the rank of it, you can understand it by looking at the table below:
Rank ----- Colour
E ------ WHITE
D ------ GREEN
C ------ BLUE
B ------ RED
A ------ PURPLE
S ------ BLACK
2. Behemoth's name likely refers to the Biblical use, where the "Behemoth" is a giant land animal often interpreted as a mammoth, created by God as a demonstration of power - the counterpart to the Leviathan. It may also be referring to the primary definition of "behemoth", a huge and monstrous creature. The word itself derives from Behemah, the Hebrew word for "beast".
3. In Crete, the Minotaur was known by the name Asterion, a name shared with Minos' foster-father. So I changed the name a bit, from Asterion to Asterios.

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)
