Summary
As society rises from the
ashes of war, cybernetically augmented arena fighters battle for fame and
fortune...or die trying.
It's the 19th century, and
the world has entered the Era of Rebirth, recovering from the devastating flames
of war. The sport of mechanical martial arts has galvanized the nations.
Cybernetically augmented fighters turn their blood into steam and their bodies
into brutal fighting-and killing-machines. Young Levius is one of those arena
battlers, hell-bent on winning in order to simply survive.
Levius, now a Grade I
fighter, must battle the undefeated Emperor on the greatest stage, the Southern
Slam. During the preliminaries, A.J. discovers that her younger brother,
Balthus, is competing and fighting his way up. His abnormal strength is
mysterious and disturbing. What has he done to himself for the sake of competing
in Mechanical Martial Arts?!
