7 DAYS ESCAPE

They woke up finding themselves in an unknown facility. It was a puzzle, a brain tasking way to escape, a creation of an ESCAPE ROOM. The had to follow the instructions, they had to sacrifice one another, rely on one another, betray one another. It was a living horror to the students. ... "Argh", "Ouch, it hurts", "Geez, who is pressing on me?", "WHERE ARE WE?". The students muttered to themselves. *4 days ago* "Hello students, so you all will be coming up with different ideas for your upcoming articles. The class with the best article presentation will get an awards and stars on the big day". Their teacher walked in and announced to her students. "An article presentation?". A guy with blond messy hair slowly opened his eyes. "Everyone should put heads together while the class president takes down acceptable ideas. That's all for now. If there are other information, they will be passed out before the day ends". The teacher picked up her books and left. "What are you going to do Amy?". The guy sitting next to her leaned over and gently placed his head on her shoulder. "Probably draft out and collect everyone's ideas before submitting to the teacher". Amara aka Class president replied to her closest friend. "Urgh! Can you guys quit the lovely-dovey acts?". The blond messy guy, Axel spoke up annoyed. Amara's closest friend, Xavier turned around with an angry look. "Scram off, ugly face". Xavier spoke back. "Ahh. Stop it you two". Amara warned then she got up from her seat and walked up to the podium. The students gave out different options towards their projects. About thirty minutes later, they concluded on their article source *AN EXCURSION*. "An excursion it is then". Amara slipped the papers into a file bag then walked out of the class to the staff room.

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.
