The project was live.
The cover, the introduction, and the first Chapter were already uploaded.
"Normally, manga Chapters are released once a week."
"But I don’t need to stick to that pace. I can go faster."
"After all, I’m not creating from scratch—I’m just adapting."
"And with Altan helping, I’ve got support."
With the platform officially launched under PageDive’s na and boosted by Altan’s relentless promotion, it quickly started drawing traffic.
Readers began pouring in.
So did creators submitting their work.
...
A young man sat alone in his study. On one side of the desk, snacks and bottles of soda were stacked like offerings to a shrine. On the other side, a trash bin overflowed with wrappers, crumpled papers, and so questionable-looking tissues.
The sll in the room was... layered. A complex mix of sweet, salty, greasy, and sothing else—unidentifiable.
"PageDive? A new manga platform?"
"It’s brand new... Wonder if there are any launch promotions?"
He hovered over the page, hesitating, then clicked.
Like many others his age, he preferred reading manga online.
If he liked sothing enough, he’d buy physical volus for his collection—of which there were many, lining the shelves behind him.
"All titles free for the first ten days?"
That was the first thing that popped up after logging in.
His interest spiked imdiately.
Who doesn’t like free stuff?
Of course, that only works if the quality is good. No one wants free trash.
But when it cos to manga, there’s only one way to find out: read it.
He started by checking the rankings.
There were several categories:
Favorites
Page count
Rating
Each one broken down into total, monthly, and weekly stats.
They could also be sorted by page count.
Two additional rankings stood out:
One was New Releases, tracking titles that had just launched. Since they hadn’t had ti to build up Chapters or stats, they were ranked separately. This list used a composite score of clicks, likes, recomndation votes...
The rankings weren’t managed by human editors—but by an AI system created by Altan.
With Altan in control, the rankings remained fair. Any attempts to manipulate the data would be caught.
The other key ranking was Editor’s Pick.
That one was curated manually. The AI-controlled list was managed by Kaizen. The editor’s list had been delegated to Harold.
The young man opened the New Releases list first.
"Blade Teeth?"
Altan’s AI prevented external manipulation—but Kaizen could still rig the numbers himself.
So within monts, Fairy Tail shot up the charts.
It wasn’t surprising. New releases usually only had one or two Chapters uploaded, and the art in Fairy Tail really was exceptional.
"This is solid."
"Great art. You can feel every punch."
"Raw. Brutal. Feels like a real fighter’s manga."
As word spread and the number of readers grew, Fairy Tail started gaining traction.
Kaizen could clearly feel it—Natsu’s aura was getting stronger.
He had imbued Natsu with the sa aura as before, but sohow, this version of Natsu had beco more powerful.
Not by a lot, but noticeably so.
"This is just the beginning."
"Once Blade Teeth hits its climax..."
"Once the manga, the novel, and the physical release are all out..."
"That’s when Blade Teeth’s montum will explode."
"And the evolution will reach a new peak."
"Then the aura boost will be on another level entirely."
Kaizen was excited.
...
Two days later, the second Chapter of Blade Teeth went live.
By now, Blade Teeth had reached the top of the New Releases list.
Its numbers triggered the auto-signing process.
On the PageDive platform, manga signings worked two ways.
One was automatic—when a title t certain data thresholds, Altan’s AI processed the signing. If the author agreed, the contract was submitted to Harold for confirmation. Signed works earned revenue.
The second was manual—if the data wasn’t quite there, but an editor really believed in a title, they could nominate it for signing and reach out to the author directly.
Kaizen had designed the system this way to make sure no talent slipped through the cracks.
The more promising titles they signed, the more traction the platform gained—and the more dominant it would beco.
Harold was thrilled.
The platform had only just launched, and it was already showing explosive potential. It was miles ahead of his previous company—completely on another level.
"At this rate... this could beco the top manga platform in the entire Kingdom of Fiora."
"Especially with the Dragon Dojo backing us. No one dares ss with this."
Other startups often ran into trouble—ripoffs, stolen IP, even original creators being driven out of the market by knockoffs.
But with the Dragon Dojo standing behind the platform, no one had the guts to cause trouble.
With the platform stabilizing and Blade Teeth climbing the ranks, Kaizen turned his focus elsewhere.
...
"The team’s cooperative training has been going for days now."
"Ti for a real mission."
Kaizen logged into the assassin commission network.
He started filtering through the posted jobs.
One by one, commissions scrolled past.
Then, one caught his eye.
Client: Mimbo Republic
Target: Kroll
Type: Nen user
Brief: Kroll was once part of the Mimbo Republic’s military, but he betrayed the country and fled with his unit.
Reward: 10 billion ring queens.
Kaizen’s interest was piqued.
A commission that size ant the target wasn’t weak.
A whole squad, even. That was intriguing.
Plus, the Mimbo Republic...
As soone already linked to Fiora and the Saherta, Kaizen was curious.
From Fiora, he’d gained Natsu—an aura beast.
From Saherta, he’d obtained Chitong.
So what would the Mimbo Republic offer?
"This might be the perfect opportunity to enter Mimbo territory and absorb its traits."
