The world is on a powder keg, and periodically this keg explodes with the Apocalypse. Monsters emerge from the sea, the star Wormwood overturns into the rivers, turning water into blood, an angel blows a trumpet over the ashes. Only the mysterious Gate will be able to save the living, so that people can rebuild their lives after the catastrophe - if, of course, they manage to enter this Gate. The world is on the way to paradise for everyone, from where no one will leave offended. “Suppose a certain creature...” said Pandem. - No not like this.
