The Beautiful Mortal

Details

In the brutal, sweat-slicked underground of the Kengan matches, strength is measured in shattered bones and raw violence. Enter Chimei Utsukishi, a fighter possessing a gentle soul but cursed with a body honed to absolute physical perfection. He does not want to hurt anyone. Yet, to protect his debt-ridden adoptive family, he is forced into the corporate blood arenas. Utilizing a devastating, fluid synthesis of Judo, Capoeira, Muay Thai, and professional wrestling, Chimei fights like a demon while weeping inside. Guided by a dormant 100 Qi energy flow that he barely understands, every strike he delivers is rendered in hyper-dynamic, heavy-inked violence. As corporate masters treat him as a beautiful, disposable mortal, Chimei must survive savage gladiators who mistake his kindness for weakness. In this world of monsters, a gentle man must learn to wield absolute brutality without losing his humanity, or be crushed beneath the weight of the corporate colosseum.
