《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.

Eleknar's Heir, The Infernal Prince (Demonic LitRPG)
A LitRPG and Epic Fantasy adventure: The son of a mafia boss finds himself abruptly plunged into an alternate world where he must find a way to survive the horrors of a realm called Oblivion, make pacts with demons, form unnatural friendships, and figure out what the hell is going on – all while dealing with the depressing reality of his past. An artificial intelligence has ascended into godhood and has thrown Trey’s home into Chaos, pulling millions of people into an enchanted new life... or, in Trey's case, a violent nightmare. As far as he can tell, he is locked into what the system prompts call a ‘Death Game.’ Here, artificial reality is manufactured for the enjoyment of a being called the All Spirit, and he has a very real chance of truly dying. Just how real is this place though? Is it merely a simulation, a realistic game of life and death… or is it something much more? Elves, dwarves, undead, and other races only thought to exist in fairy tales are now a reality. Black magics, pantheons of gods at odds with one another, predatory symbiotes, and an unholy calling, the significance of which he has yet to grasp, are all entangled with his fate. ============================================ ============================================ Some things to expect when reading this book series: - Brutal storyline where no character is safe and choices have real consequences. Heavy on action, survival, and adventure - An isekai. The main character struggles to find himself, repeatedly crossing the line between good and evil as other important characters influence his life - Harem (explicit), though this only starts about 180k words in. - Good amounts of crafting, town building, and guild building later on - Good amounts of fantasy-related LitRPG stats, rank ups, and evolutions. Heavy focus on demons and black magics - There will be many points of view, but there is only one primary/main character that takes up 90% of the POV - A long storyline. Currently (as of 7/26/2021) I have about 1500k words written, though much of it will have to be heavily edited and re-written. I also plan to go far beyond 1500k words if people like the story (A lot of it is also in the 'backstories' book that explores the guildmates, the link is below) - Chapters will have an average of about 4k-5k words, a little longer than most other books on RR, though there will be exceptions for more and less. I just didn't like posting chapters that didn't feel complete, and 2k words often felt like too little. - If you like super-heroic and goody-goody characters, this story is not for you. ***Updated once a week***
