From the perspective of others, the user would appear to simply step into empty space—then vanish without a trace. There would be no flash of light, no distortion obvious to the naked eye, no dramatic surge of power. Just a single step forward, and their figure would be gone, as though swallowed by thin air.
However, to the one wearing the gloves, an entirely different scene would unfold. Before them, a transparent door as tall as a human body would manifest, standing upright in midair like a sheet of flawless glass. Its surface would shimmer faintly, almost imperceptibly, as if the air itself had condensed into a fragile, vertical pane.
That door served as a pathway for instant relocation.
The user could step forward and pass through it, feeling a brief chill brush against their skin—like walking through a veil of cold mist. It would not sting, nor would it resist. The sensation would last no more than a heartbeat. In the blink of an eye, they would emerge at another location that had been marked beforehand.
There was no tunnel connecting the two points. No passageway stretching through darkness. No sensation of travel between spaces.
Just one step—and the world changed.
Others could neither see nor touch the door, and certainly could not pass through it. To them, the space where it formed remained completely ordinary.
If someone happened to be standing precisely where the door appeared, they would only experience the faint sensation of something brushing past them—a fleeting touch, like a gentle gust of wind slipping through their body. They would not understand what had occurred. They would not even realize that space itself had momentarily parted.
Yet this ability could not be used carelessly.
In order to relocate, the user first had to mark the intended destination using the gloves. Without a mark, the transparent door would never take form, no matter how much Cursed Energy was poured into it.
The method of marking was simple in execution, though profound in consequence. The user only needed to touch a surface—a cold concrete wall, the rough bark of a tree, creaking wooden floorboards, sun-heated asphalt, even the wind-battered rooftop of a towering building—then channel Cursed Energy into the gloves.
The energy would seep silently into the point of contact, embedding itself into the structure of space at that exact location. It would leave behind an invisible spatial imprint, a set of bound coordinates fused directly into the fabric of that spot.
The mark emitted no noticeable aura. It did not glow, nor did it distort the surroundings in any obvious way. Even high-level Cursed Energy users would be unable to detect it—unless they possessed a rare ability to perceive spatial distortions or deeply comprehend the flow of space itself.
To most people, the marked location would appear completely ordinary, unchanged in every respect.
The mark would remain permanent unless the user consciously chose to erase it. As long as the gloves remained connected to the user, the coordinates would persist—fixed in place like a knot binding two separate spaces together.
There was no limit to how many locations could be marked. The user could designate dozens of buildings, narrow alleyways, skyscraper rooftops, or remote forests, storing them all without restriction.
However, there was one absolute limitation that could not be broken: every marked location had to exist within the same country.
The gloves could not be used for cross-border relocation, even if a location in another nation had already been marked.
Furthermore, although the number of marks was unlimited, passing through the transparent door could only be done a maximum of ten times per day.
Each time the user stepped through the door, one use would be consumed. Upon reaching the limit of ten, the door would refuse to open again, regardless of how much Cursed Energy was forced into the gloves.
The ability would only reset when the day changed at exactly midnight. At the precise moment the date shifted, the power within the gloves would fully recover. The faint fracture-like lines across their surface would glow dimly once more, and ten fresh uses would be restored.
To activate this Cursed Tool, the user simply had to channel Cursed Energy into the gloves while speaking the name or designation assigned to the location during the marking process.
That name was not a mere label. It acted as a key—binding intent, energy, and spatial coordinates into a single harmonious alignment. When spoken with clear focus, the Cursed Energy would respond as though recognizing a call.
In a fraction of a second, the space before the user would part with delicate precision. A transparent door would form soundlessly—without brilliance or spectacle—just a thin, glass-like surface appearing in midair, waiting to be crossed.
The door connected directly to a previously marked destination point, as though two separate locations were forcibly brought together through a slit invisible to the outside world.
[Name of Cursed Tool: Ten Gates Gauntlet]
[Type: Active]
[Function: 1. These gloves allow the user to create a transparent door that can only be seen and touched by the user. To anyone else, there is nothing there—only empty space. Yet to the wearer, the door feels real and solid, its cold surface trembling faintly with the flow of Cursed Energy. The door serves as an instant transportation pathway to a location that has previously been marked using these gloves.]
[2. To mark a location, the user simply needs to touch a surface while channeling Cursed Energy into the gloves. The energy does not merely flow outward; it seeps into the very structure of space at that point, leaving behind an invisible spatial marker that cannot be detected by others. Even high-level Cursed Energy users would fail to notice it unless they possess a specialized ability to read spatial distortions. This marker remains permanent unless the user consciously chooses to erase it.]
[3. The user may create markers in multiple locations without any numerical limit. A narrow alleyway, the rooftop of a towering building, a hidden basement, or even a remote forest—all can be marked and stored as transportation points. However, all markers must exist within the same country. An invisible spatial boundary prevents this ability from crossing national borders. Travel through the transparent door can only be performed up to ten times per day. Once the day resets precisely at midnight, the usage count is automatically restored in full.]
[4. To activate transportation, the user simply speaks the name or nickname assigned to the location at the time of marking while maintaining a stable flow of Cursed Energy. If focus wavers or the energy flow is disrupted, the door will not form. But if both are aligned, the transparent door will open with absolute precision and connect directly to the designated point without delay.]
[Rules: 1. The transparent door can only be passed through by the user. Others cannot see it, touch it, or force their way inside. If someone steps exactly where the door stands, they will simply pass through empty space as usual, feeling no resistance—perhaps only a faint sensation as if a thin breeze brushed against their skin.]
[2. The user may only travel to locations that have previously been marked. If the user has never visited or marked a place, the door will never form, no matter how much Cursed Energy is forced into it. Transportation can only occur within the same country and cannot cross national borders under any circumstances.]
[3. Each use consumes a moderate amount of Cursed Energy. If the user's energy is depleted before reaching the ten-use limit, the door cannot be activated.]
[4. These gloves cannot be used to transport large objects or other living beings besides the user. If the user attempts to forcibly bring someone along—by pulling their hand, carrying them over the shoulder, or dragging them directly—the door will immediately reject that person before the transfer completes, ensuring that only the user is transported.]
In essence, the mechanism resembles instant transportation techniques such as Minato's Hiraishin Kunai from the anime Naruto—relying on markers and instantaneous movement between predetermined points.
The difference is that this is not an innate technique inherited or learned through a specific bloodline. It is a Cursed Tool I created myself, designed with careful calculation, clear limitations, and risks I fully understand.
Right after successfully completing the Positive Energy Bottle, without giving myself any real time to rest, I immediately proceeded to craft the Ten Gates Gauntlet.
If that bottle was a foundation for survival—a lifeline for when circumstances turned dire—then these gloves are a weapon to dominate the battlefield.
With the ability to decide when to appear and when to vanish, I am no longer merely enduring the fight. I control the distance, the tempo, and the direction of the battle itself.
