Next WLTK Arc Poll

So this next chapter is honestly kicking me in the butt.

Its just not coming out how I want it, and I'm starting to feel the burnout.

A bit part of this is simple. I've wrote myself into a bit of a corner here.

Or rather, maybe a better way of saying it would be a Crossroad (ROFL)

If you've been paying attention to the story, you'll notice I've set the groundwork for several different story arcs, and honestly, a lot of them might have been premature.

So now I'm at the point, I don't know which direction I want to head to first.

That said, I figured instead of trying to keep beating myself up over it and stressing out, why not just ask you guys what arc YOU want to see next.

There are 3 current arc we can head into next.

1 ): Beetle Tournament -- Mani has been hard at work, and now every kid in the Crossroads has heard rumors of the Arena Arcadium. Jeremiah takes advantage of this interest and decides to hold the first Mystical Menagerie Beetle Tournament! What starts out as something fun for the kids, soon snowballs into something far bigger than he could ever have expected, as rumors of Tournament - and prizes - spreads like wildfire.

-- This arc is very much more of a shop-centric story, with a focus on the Arena Arcadium. This was meant to be a "springboard" to draw more interest in the shop. Think of it as a lighter-toned slice-of-life arc for Jeremiah to build a strong foundation.

2): Gresham makes his move -- Gresham's eyes are now firmly locked on Jeremiah and the Mystical Menagerie. As the Oddfather's man in charge of his plan to take over the Crossroads, Gresham sees the Mystical Menagerie as not only an easy mark without the protection of some of the other monsters hiding on Market Street, but a valuable assist with access to powerful magical items he seeks to leverage toward his own ends. Jeremiah will have to overcome not just physical threat, but economic and social pressure as Gresham's influence closes in around him.

-- This arc would be more action and drama focused arc, with Jeremiah having to navigate threats on multiple fronts.

3): Magical Training -- With his newfound resolve and a clearer image in his mind for what he wants, not only out of the Mystical Menagerie and the System, but himself, Jeremiah seeks ways to make that image into a reality. Lucky for him, he happens to know a certain mage who might be willing to teach him a few tricks. For the right price.

-- This is the "training" arc and is a bit of both action and slice of life. The idea here is to expand on Jeremiah's toolkit.
