GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

The story of a trash prince who was banished from the palace at the age of 15 and died at the age of 31. He repeats his life exactly where he was banished and is killed again at the age of 31. Ultimately, his total number of repeats reaches nine times. He has tried various things, from being a merchant and an S-rank adventurer to helping reform his kingdom. Ironically, he is always killed by the same imperial queen all nine times at the age of 31, either directly or indirectly. In his tenth life, he intends to go directly to the queen, who was still studying at the academy as an imperial princess, not to kill her, but rather to help her and prevent a tragedy that would ultimately make her the cruelest queen. But when he enters the academy, he discovers new things he never knew in his nine lives, completely throwing his plans into disarray. Furthermore, the queen, nicknamed the "Cold Queen," holds more or less the same secret as himself. How will the trash prince fare in his tenth life with the Ice Queen who always kills him?

People always say, control your emotions, don’t be weak, don’t do this, don’t do that—but you know what? F*ck all that. This story isn’t about perfection or pretending to be strong—it’s about being real. The characters in this world don’t have all the answers; they stumble, they fight, they break, and still, they keep moving. Just like us. I want the readers to feel that—every joy, every heartbreak, every spark of anger and desire. I want you to walk beside them through the Land of Eirs, to bleed when they bleed, to rise when they rise. Because this isn’t just their story—it’s a reminder that no matter how heavy life gets, we keep moving. Always.

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.

[Note for contest: even if it doesn't look like it, it adheres to the theme] Just as magic was limitless in it's potential benefits, the potential evils one could do with it were limitless as well. After being kidnapped at a magic show, Jane was given the opportunity to unravel the world of magic, and with it, the mysteries of his own identity. Within his soul, there were unreasonable amounts of mana being constantly used to power an unknown spell. The spell, powerful as it was, nonetheless did nothing to disturb his daily life.

"You’ve missed eight assignment deadlines, your mom’s working herself into an early grave, your dad’s one bad mood away from lighting the house on fire, and your savings account looks like a horror story." "...So here. Have a writing prompt." [Prompt: Rewrite the last time you cried. Include dialogue. Genre: Devastation.] — He wanted to be a writer. Not a good one, necessarily. Just… someone who could string some words together without falling apart in the middle of a sentence—or his life. But with bills stacking higher than his GPA, a household made of silent dinners and simmering tension, and a brain that prefers breakdowns over outlines, he was just trying to survive. Then the voice appeared. No name. No warning. Just a snarky, possibly divine co-author lodged in his head, claiming to be a Sentient System sent by the Akashic Record, the cosmic library of all universal truth. Did it give him superpowers? No. A second chance at life? Definitely not. What it did give him? Writing advice. Unsolicited. Unfiltered. Often cruel. Occasionally traumatizing. Worse, it throws him into random stories—literally. Books, blog posts, unpublished drafts... suddenly he’s living through them. First-person. Full pain. Apparently emotional growth is part of the patch notes. Now, between trying to not flunk out of college, keeping his mother from breaking, and surviving immersion in other people’s trauma, he’s got one rule: Write or die trying. Or worse—fail the prompt. # Author's Notes I have four stories that are currently in their development phase. This is one of them. This story is going to be the set up of my multiverse in a sense. For now, I plan on posting one chapter every saturday at 12:00 midnight (UTC+08:00). Seeing that this is my first 'serious' attempt and commitment at consistently writing a story. I hope you'll bear with my amateur skills and instead try to enjoy the story I've written. That is all and hope you have an inktastic day!

“Now go, chosen one. Save this world from its imminent end.” Francisco only wanted to write fantasy stories. He never expected to live inside one. Summoned to a collapsing medieval fantasy world, Francisco gains no magic, no divine blessings, and no combat skills. Instead, he is given a single ability: the power to understand every language. And a cruel condition—if he fails, both he and this new world will be erased from existence, forgotten by history itself. In Abaron, heroes are worshipped and light rules the kingdoms. But behind revolutions, orc invasions, and a hidden war over knowledge, Francisco discovers the truth: This world’s official history is a lie. Hunted by paladins, manipulated by orcs, and watched by unseen forces, Francisco realizes he cannot survive as a hero. So he becomes something else. A liar. A manipulator. A man who turns others into heroes… while rewriting the truth from the shadows. Because in this world, the greatest danger is not darkness... but who controls the story that will be remembered as truth.
