Battle Kreaturez
Battle Kreaturez is an ongoing SciFi/Action/Dramedy webcomic written and illustrated by freelance artist Amphurious, which he created during the summer of 1999. It spent 16 years in development before it was formally launched on September 25th, 2015.
In May 29th 2021, a web novel, Battle Kreaturez - Comeback, began serialization, with the aim of the project being to create a revised, more cohesive narrative for the comic moving forward. The webcomic's original eight chapters, now known as Battle Kreaturez - Legacy, have been relegated to an alternate timeline.
Summary
In the parallel world of Dimentiara, ultra-powerful genetically modified organisms known as Kreatures are created as pets, for utility purposes, and for combat. The latter are called Battle Kreatures, and people who keep them use special amulets to mindlink with their Kreatures so they can participate in officially sanctioned matches overseen by the Kreature Combat Federation. The sport of Kreature Combat is a lucrative industry in Dimentiara, and professional Kreature Tamers face off against each other for glory, status, honour, prize money and the thrill of competition.
Following his disastrous debut match (and a series of humiliating defeats after that,) novice Kreature Tamer Ben Weiss has run into a wall. Unable to climb out of the bottom-tier on his own, he joins an apprenticeship program to seek tutelage. It's run by the Wyldcard Team; a former mid-tier Kreature Combat team who have fallen onto hard times. The Kreature Combat circuit is mercilessly competitive, and together Ben and the Wyldcards forge emotional bonds, rebuild their team, hone their skills and claw their way up the ranks against insurmountable odds to not only reclaim their former status but rise beyond it.
