Teleport Gate

A Teleport Gate is a feature that allows fast travel between the floors of Infinite Aincrad. It is located at the central plaza of the main settlement on each floor. The Teleport Gate allows free teleportation to any other floor where a gate is activated. This happens after the player(s) who beat the boss of the previous floor's Labyrinth opens it.

In the world of Infinite Aincrad, Teleport Gates are the primary means of travel, as physically travelling from floor to floor via Labyrinth mazes is dangerous and time-consuming.

Appearance
Teleport Gates have an appearance of an arch made of neatly stacked stones. It has no doors or bars. The empty space in the middle of the arch is distorted like a portal.

Usage
A Teleport Gate can be used by either standing in the middle of an active Teleport Gate or by using a Teleport Crystal, when teleporting from an area outside of a Teleport Gate, and by saying "Teleport" along with the name of the destination city.

Activation and Town Openings
Once a floor boss is defeated, the victorious party can activate the gate of the next floor by merely entering the main settlement and touching the surface of the portal.

This causes a blue light to spread everywhere, marking the floor accessible via teleportation to any other existing floor in Infinite Aincrad. The event is known as a "Town Opening".

In the event that the victorious party does not manage to activate the gate after reaching the floor, the Teleport Gate will automatically activate after a two hour period.

The gate can only be activated for use if the name of the destination village is known, however, the players are able to check their map for the name of the village. They are also able to learn the name of the village or town from other players allowing lower level players to access higher floors.
