The Grind is the greatest show in the Galaxy: Nine Circles of blood, money and death.
Beatrix Aliger has thirty days. Thirty days to find 800,000 credits for her brother's life-saving surgery, or watch the only family she has left die.
In the depths of an abandoned starship, she finds a solution: The Dreadnought Protocol. It's not just a piece of tech; it's a military AI that rewrites biology, optimizing the host for maximum violence. It's powerful, experimental, and it eats its user's lifespan for fuel.
With no other options, Beatrix installs the cyber parasite and enters the First Circle of The Grind, the galaxy's most brutal underground tournament.
The Grind isn't just a fight club. It's a massive deadly spectacle of professional fighters with technological enhancements backed with teams trying to hack their rivals systems: The UFC meets F1 in a dystopian future.
To save her brother, she has to outsmart seasoned killers and navigate a game rigged by the criminal Clans. But as the AI whispers tactical solutions in her mind and her humanity begins to strip away, Beatrix realizes the arena isn't the only thing trying to kill her.
She has to win before the Protocol consumes her.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Hunger's Game meets Ghost in the Shell meets Gladiator
✅ Humans powered by AI and Nanotech (your body has an operative system)
✅ Found family messy team dynamics (No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes.)
✅ Physical fights with digital team warfare (Fighting and hacking at the same time)
✅ Body horror that escalates (slow corruption, turning into monsters)
✅ Moral complexity with impossible decisions (Am I the bad guy?)
✅ Character-driven plot (relationships drive decisions drive action)
✅ Tragedy, conflict, drama (No cozy stuff here)
✅ Posting three days a week: Mon - Wed - Fri (Not burning out. I'm here for the long run)
