Lenny, an orphan from the Sector 41 slums, suddenly finds himself in possession of a rare and unknown affinity. It allows him to upgrade himself, using energy acquired from spirit beasts. But will he gain enough power to defend himself against those with every advantage he has never known?

Explore the Western Alliance, where the Four Pillars rule supreme, and all vie for the title of the strongest faction. But when those sworn to protect the people fight amongst themselves, who will save them from the biggest threat they've ever known? And can one young boy, with no family and a handful of friends, survive all that chaos?

Lenny had still been struggling to settle on a weapon for Melee Arms but eventually found that two daggers suited his up-close-and-personal fighting style quite well. He'd gradually worked his way up the ranks in sparring too. The tag around his neck now showed the number: 171, putting him right in the middle of the yellow sashes, just below Rose. That an orange sash had done so well had not gone unnoticed, but he had refrained from using his Adrenaline Rush skill, avoiding raising too much suspicion. He was still finding some of the abilities he went up against tricky, and even with all his enhancements, he wasn't winning every match. His opponents were just too varied to come up with counters for each.
