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 succeeds in defeating Oliver at the Southern Slam
tournament, and the consequences of his victory are dire. But he has neither the
desire nor the time to celebrate as he ascends to the level of champion. The
appearance of Arthur Graynore, the Rank 2 fighter in Mechanical Martial Arts and
the cofounder of Amethyst, means that the fight to become Est—to become a
god—is not over.
