Gangsters: Rise to the Top

Jengraimukh Tiniali Academy in Majuli isn’t just a school—it’s a war zone disguised as an institution. With over 12,000 students, this prestigious academy is known for producing some of the strongest individuals in the world. But beneath its disciplined facade, the real power lies in the underground student unions, each fighting for dominance. These factions control resources, influence, and even certain teachers, making the academy a battlefield where only the strongest survive.

The rules claim that violence is forbidden inside the academy, yet power struggles happen in the shadows. Strength is everything, and nothing determines a fighter’s potential more than their AURA. A person’s Aura Color defines their strength, mentality, and willpower. But there’s more—few individuals awaken Darkened Auras, becoming even more powerful. And rarer still are those who achieve Cosmic Auras, the pinnacle of strength. Among the legends, only a select few are blessed with the Lightning Aura, an ancient power passed down through bloodlines.

In the middle of this chaos stands Mriganko Doley, a fighter with a past shrouded in mystery. He doesn’t fight for dominance, nor does he seek power. He fights to tear down the broken system that controls the academy. He has his own reasons—his own scars that fuel his rage. But to achieve his goal, he must face the strongest fighters, defy the unions that rule the academy, and uncover the secrets behind the AURA system itself.

Yet the academy is only the beginning. The World Government, a massive organization that controls all seven continents, has been silently watching. Their grip over the world is absolute, enforced by an elite group of assassins and enforcers, with three supreme rulers at the top. They will do whatever it takes to crush those who resist their power.

As Mri rises through the ranks, he will not only face powerful foes but also form unbreakable bonds, experience devastating betrayals, and challenge the very foundations of power itself.

Gang wars. Power struggles. Secret organizations. A fight against the world's greatest rulers.

To rise to the top, one must first survive the fall.

Gangsters:Rise To The Top

The panthers circled them, their glowing blue eyes fixed on the team from Jengraimukh Academy. Their sleek black fur rippled with energy, muscles coiled like springs ready to pounce.

Mri tightened his fists. Four against five. Fair enough.

> "Spread out. Don't let them box us in," Ayang whispered, taking a defensive stance.

One of the panthers lunged—fast, almost a blur. Tanuja barely dodged, rolling across the dirt as claws slashed through the air where she had just stood. Shahid countered with a powerful roundhouse kick, but the beast twisted mid-air, landing gracefully.

Jasmine extended her hand, releasing a burst of her aura, pushing one of them back.

Mri, however, didn't move. He simply watched. Calculated.

> "They're not attacking recklessly," he muttered. "They're testing us."

The lead panther snarled, then all four attacked at once.

Mri dodged to the side, catching a flash of blue as claws skimmed past his face. He countered with a precise strike to the beast's ribs, sending it skidding back into a tree.

Tanuja and Ayang moved in perfect sync, forcing another panther into a defensive retreat. Shahid used his superior strength to grapple one, throwing it to the side before helping Jasmine fend off the fourth.

> "We can't waste time," Shahid growled, landing another heavy punch.

Mri nodded. "Hit hard. Make them back off."

With a coordinated final attack, the group overwhelmed the panthers, forcing them to retreat into the shadows. Their blue eyes flickered in the darkness before disappearing completely.

> "They weren't ordinary creatures," Jasmine muttered, catching her breath.

Mri exhaled, eyes scanning the jungle. No. They were just the beginning.

Allies in the Wild

They didn't have time to celebrate. A rustle in the foliage made them turn sharply—this time, however, no beasts emerged.

Instead, five figures stepped out from the undergrowth, dressed in Meghalaya Academy's uniforms.

> "That was quite the fight," a voice called out.

The leader was a tall, lean boy with short dark hair and sharp features. He carried himself like a warrior.

> "I'm Revon Manner. Looks like we found some strong allies."

The other four stepped forward, each radiating confidence.

Sikandar Sangma – A heavy-built powerhouse with a scarred jawline and hands that looked like they could break stone.

Kyra Phanbuh – A girl with long silver-dyed hair, her piercing green eyes observing everything.

Arwin Kharmalki – A calm strategist with glasses and a quiet presence.

Nash Thabah – A short but incredibly quick fighter, grinning mischievously.

Ayang crossed his arms. "And why should we trust you?"

Revon smirked. "Because we're all stuck in this jungle together."

Shahid sighed, stretching his arms. "Fine. But no funny business."

Nightfall in the Jungle

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the group worked together, setting up a makeshift camp. They gathered dry wood, created a fire, and took turns keeping watch.

Sitting around the flames, they talked—about their academies, their strengths, and their goals.

> "So, why'd your academy send you here?" Mri asked.

Kyra shrugged. "Same reason as yours. To win."

Revon poked at the fire. "And to prove we're stronger than any other academy in the Seven Sisters."

Mri smirked. "We'll see about that."

The night passed in uneasy peace. The jungle never slept, and neither did the dangers lurking within it.

> "From here on," Revon said, "each team must go their own way."

Mri nodded. "See you at the finish line."

With that, the two groups parted ways, each stepping deeper into the unknown.

And just beyond the trees, something watched them go.
