Blood and Brains: The Outsider's Code

"Transferring to another school was supposed to be his greatest escape from the violence of his past." That's what Jin Velasco thought when he left the pandemonium disguised as his former school, after years of relentless bullying.

Pero akala n'ya lang pala 'yon. Dahil sa paghahanap niya ng tahimik na buhay, napadpad siya sa Northvale High-a true warzone. Northvale isn't just dangerous-it's ruled by gangs, where students are ranked based on their physical strength, not by intelligence and respect is earned through blood and broken bones.

Alam ni Jin na lalong hindi magiging normal ang buhay n'ya rito. He has always survived with his brains, not his fists, but in a place where the weak are hunted, intelligence alone won't be enough. Just when he's on the verge of being swallowed by chaos, someone steps in-a scarred, silver-haired fighter with a reputation. Renz Kwon, Northvale's rank 2.

Renz doesn't do charity, and Jin isn't looking for a savior. But survival means adaptation, and whether he likes it or not, Jin will have to learn the rules of this brutal world. With his mind and Renz's fists, they strike an uneasy alliance.

With every step, Jin is forced to adapt, outthink, and outmaneuver those who want to see him fall. In a world where fists decide fate, can an outsider change the rules?
