Battle Stages

A world where monsters and humans coexist. In this world, growth is not measured by power alone, but by the bond shared between battler and monster. To give that bond meaning, a platform was created—not as a test of cruelty, but as a path of experience. That platform is known as the Battle Stages. The Battle Stages offer battlers the chance to face real challenges, surpass the limits of their partnership, and grow through competition, travel, and responsibility. Presented as public tournaments and celebrated across the world, the stages allow battlers to test themselves under structured yet demanding conditions. Those who endure, improve, and continue forward earn recognition, experience, and the right to pursue the ultimate title: Battle Champion. Jack enters this world without ambition for fame or victory. Quiet by nature and distant from ordinary life, he steps onto the road of the Battle Stages in search of something simpler and deeper—to understand himself, to break routine, and to experience a life that feels real. With his first monster, Turt, Jack begins a journey that values judgment over recklessness and consistency over sudden strength. Each stage introduces new environments, unfamiliar opponents, and expectations that cannot be ignored. Monsters grow through defined stages of evolution. Bonds are measured, strengthened, and refined over time. Progress is earned through awareness, control, and trust—not shortcuts. No battler walks this road alone. As part of the system, Jack is accompanied by Sera, a professor trainee tasked with observing monsters in real conditions. What begins as a professional partnership gradually becomes a shared journey, shaped by travel, competition, and the quiet weight of responsibility. Through victories and setbacks alike, their bond deepens naturally, without force or haste. As the journey expands, Jack encounters battlers driven by different purposes—some seeking recognition, others pursuing self-improvement, and many simply searching for meaning. Rivalries form. Friendships take shape. And the definition of strength continues to evolve. Battle Stages is not a story of instant power or destined greatness. It is a story of movement, experience, and growth—of bonds tested through real challenges and strengthened over time. The road forward is long. The stages demand commitment. And only those who continue, step by step, can reach the end.

Peaky Blinders: The Devil's Advocate

**The Problem with Neutrality? Eventually, Everyone Makes You Pick a Side.** James "Jimmy" Cartwright built his reputation on two things: solving problems that violence can't fix, and never taking sides in Birmingham's brutal gang wars. As the city's premiere fixer, he forges documents, arranges blackmail, and makes the impossible possible—for anyone who can meet his price and pass his moral code. But in the winter of 1922, neutrality becomes a luxury he can no longer afford. When Thomas Shelby arrives at Jimmy's office with an impossible deadline—save Arthur from the gallows in 72 hours—the offer comes with strings attached. Work exclusively for the Peaky Blinders, and Tommy will reveal the truth about Mary Cartwright's death, the sister Jimmy lost five years ago in a suspicious factory "accident." Desperate for answers and unable to refuse, Jimmy enters the violent world of the Shelby family. His weapons aren't fists or guns, but leverage and forgery, intelligence and manipulation. While Arthur, John, and the other Blinders solve problems with violence, Jimmy dismantles enemies with nothing but a pen and his brilliant, strategic mind. But the deeper Jimmy digs into his sister's past, the more dangerous his position becomes: **A traitor lurks within the Shelby organization**, feeding information to their enemies—and that traitor has evidence that could destroy Jimmy's reputation forever. **His sister's killer isn't some factory foreman**, but a powerful Birmingham councilman who's positioned himself as untouchable, using his political influence to wage war on the Shelbys from behind closed doors. **And Jimmy's one unbreakable rule—never kill—is about to be tested** when Tommy offers the simplest solution: a bullet in the dark, and all Jimmy's problems disappear. Caught between his principles and his thirst for justice, Jimmy must orchestrate his most elaborate con yet. He'll need to outthink corrupt police, ambitious politicians, and even the Peaky Blinders themselves. Because in a world where everyone settles disputes with violence, the man who refuses to kill must be twice as clever—and three times as ruthless. They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Jimmy's about to prove it can be far more cruel. **In Small Heath, blood is cheap. Information is expensive. And loyalty costs everything.** --- Schedule: 7 chapters/week Chapter Lenght: 3000 - 4000 words

My Immortal Backpack

Han Rowan, a young man raised in poverty, saw his lifelong dream within reach. Having passed the grueling college entrance exam as one of the top scorers, he was poised to enter university and study Pharmacy, a profession he deeply desired. College was the key to escaping his circumstances and making his dream a reality. However, on the very cusp of his new life, fate delivered a cruel twist. While walking home, a shimmering, sudden dimensional rift opened without warning, and Han Rowan was instantly sucked in, vanishing from his familiar world. He awoke in a landscape both beautiful and terrifyingly foreign. This was a secret world hidden from the masses, a realm where cultivators—beings who harness the spiritual energy of the universe—existed. For Rowan, a mere mortal with no knowledge of this new reality and, worse, confirmed to possess no spiritual roots, survival seemed impossible. He was completely unable to cultivate and defend himself in a world ruled by strength. Just as despair began to set in, Rowan stumbled upon an anomaly: a strange, ordinary-looking cloth bag lying on the ground. Driven by instinct, he picked it up. As his fingers closed around the bag, a brilliant, transient light flared, and a cool voice echoed solely in his mind, announcing the activation of the Strange Bag System. Now, armed with a strange system in a dangerous world, the aspiring pharmacist must find a new path. Can his knowledge of herbs and medicine, augmented by this mysterious gift, be the key to surviving and maybe even thriving among powerful cultivators and ancient people? His journey to become a pharmacist has been hijacked, but perhaps this new world offers a chance at an even greater destiny.
