In a 19th century recovering from the devastation of war, the world has entered the Era of Rebirth. The sport of mechanical martial arts now captivates the nations. Fighters with cybernetic augmentations turn their blood into steam and their bodies into brutal fighting machines. Levius is a young arena battler who fights to survive. Under the guidance of his uncle, he enters this dangerous world carrying the weight of a lost father and a mother in a coma.

Levius must find a way to fight not only for his own future, but perhaps for the fate of the world.

Shark

Sharks have no lungs, but they still need oxygen to survive. They take it from the water around them, which means they can never stay still: if a shark stops moving, it sinks and dies. From birth to death, the only option is to keep swimming. The same rule applies to anyone who wants to survive. Standing still means sinking, and the way forward is constant motion. That is the starting point of this story, where the characters live the way a shark swims: moving, hunting, and refusing to stop even when the effort never lets up. Competition, everyday life and the will to keep pushing forward come together around that single image of a hunter that would drown the moment it rested.
