Iron Legends

Gunnar lives in a dystopian society where entertainment is strictly censored so as not to offend anyone. During the day he works for a soul sucking bureaucracy but at night he engages in illegal matches of black market games on the darkweb where he earns a name for himself as a ruthless competitor with fiendish reflexes. He cares about little in meatspace until his on-again-off-again girlfriend breaks the news - they're pregnant. There is no time to celebrate however, as the State strictly regulates family planning and the baby would be designated genetically redundant. In order to save the life of his unborn child and become the man his new family needs him to be the protagonist will enlist in an underground gaming tournament where the spoils of victory are substantial and the price of failure is death.
