Slip doesn’t buy it, though. The Sci-gods took everything from him. They dropped a bomb that reduced his home to waste, his family to dust, and left him broken with no hope for vengeance. Now he’s just a lone cyborg digging through scraps for his next meal. That changes when a rebel assassin stalks Slip, eager to unlock the untapped potential hidden deep within him—his unique connection to the A.I. in his head. With nothing left to lose, he accepts the invitation to duel for upgrades to his tech, created by the very ones who destroyed his life: the history-obsessed Sci-gods.

Slip rescued his mentor from certain death and his district from annihilation, but that was only the beginning. Time to select a warrior to defend the world is running out. The western gods chose Slip. Slip chose Slip. But in the trials, he realizes… he is not ready. The eastern Sci-gods sense weakness in the west and invade with their own chosen warriors to eliminate the competition. One cyborg rises to counter Slip—Daku Atari—and proves to tower over him in both skill and rank. Brought to his knees with no other option, Slip races to the east to win foreign gods' favor.
