Aoba Suzuki has spent his entire life rotting in the background, nursing a burning resentment for the "special" people who get everything they want. At the top of that list is Kenshin Akasawa, the golden boy and rising star of the MMA world whose very existence makes Aoba’s skin crawl. Most people look at Kenshin and see a hero, but Aoba sees a target. Driven by a desperate need to tear down the brilliance that mocks him, Aoba throws his frail, sickly body into the brutal cage of mixed martial arts. This isn't a story about sportsmanship or fair play; it's a raw, bone-breaking climb from the depths of self-loathing toward a single, obsessive goal. He doesn't just want to win; he wants to prove that even the most broken underdog can draw blood from a god.
