The world knows Jackson Smith's name now.
After surviving the Fury invasion and helping form the Circle, Jackson finally has something he almost forgot how to recognize: peace. But peace doesn't last long. When five members of the Circle receive invitations to compete in the League of Champions, Jackson is pulled into a tournament unlike anything he has ever faced-twelve of the strongest champions on Earth, divided into two groups, fighting for four semifinal positions and one title.
For the first time, saving the world means nothing.
Inside the League, Jackson isn't automatically the hero. He's World Rank #4, surrounded by fighters with abilities, experience, and techniques he has never encountered before. Randy, Min-Jun, Isabella, and Peter have rankings of their own to overcome, while names like Caelan Voss, Nyra Sol, Seraph Veyr, and Darius Kane quickly prove that the Circle may not be the greatest team in every room they enter.
And one position remains hidden.
Champion XII.
World Rank #1.
Identity classified.
As the tournament prepares to begin in Tampa, Jackson realizes the League isn't asking whether he can save everyone.
It's asking something far simpler.
How good is Jackson Smith when being the hero isn't enough to win?
Twelve champions. Two groups. Five matches each. Four semifinalists. One champion.
Welcome to the League.
