"Second.. Gates. Gates are completely different beasts. Where portals are unstable and temporary, Gates are persistent. Permanent. And physical. Unlike the ephemeral shimmer of a portal, Gates have an actual frame a doorway made of unknown material, resistant to all known damage.. Well can be broken but we won't tell you how.. Like no just never try to destroy them. Umm returning to topic they can be moved. Relocated. Positioned like equipment."
She began pacing slowly. "Each Gate is linked to a fixed pocket of another dimension. Think of it like a slice of another world sealed off and connected only through that Gate. What makes them fascinating is this: monsters inside a Gate remain locked to a specific rank. A Tier-4 Gate will only contain Tier-4 monsters. They don't evolve. They don't change. They exist in a constant state."
