Chapter 1 - MARKED FOR VICTORY Chapter 1: The Return of the Mark

The stench of blood and burning oil stained the underground air.

Pit V, the most savage fight club in Sector Nine, was alive tonight.The steel cage rattled with the screams of gamblers, drunks, and dealers as neon lights buzzed above like electric hornets.

Then, everything stopped.

Boots echoed on the metal floor.A shadow stepped into the cage.

And gasps filled the room.

"No way...""It's... Mark.""He's supposed to be dead!"

Two years gone. No word. No trace.Betrayed, broken, left in the gutters of Sector Nine.

But Mark was back.And he wasn't here to talk.

He was here to fight.

👊 The Arena Roars

A voice thundered through the speakers:

"LADIES AND PSYCHOS!RETURNING FROM THE GRAVE —THE UNDEFEATED! THE UNKILLABLE!MAAAAARK!"

The ground shook as the crowd exploded.

But the next name made them fall silent.

"And facing him — the IRON MONSTER himself…TRENCH!"

Steel thudded against steel. Trench stepped into the ring — 6'5", muscle stacked on cybernetics, with red-lit eyes and a titanium jaw.

A literal tank in human form.

"You should've stayed dead," Trench growled.

Mark just tightened the tape on his fists.

"Then I wouldn't get the chance to shut you up."

🩸 Round One: War

DING!

Trench charged like a bull.Mark sidestepped — smooth, controlled — and drove an elbow into Trench's ribs.He followed up with a lightning-fast right hook.

Trench staggered.

But not for long.

BOOM! A cyber-punch smashed Mark's jaw.He hit the cage, spat blood… and smiled.

"Not bad."

He darted back in.

Fist to throat.Knee to chest.Uppercut straight to the jaw — metal cracked.

Trench roared, slamming Mark down, fists raining like meteors.

Mark blocked. Rolled.Swept the legs — CRASH!

The beast went down.

⚡The Crowd Loses It

"MARK'S A MONSTER!""HE'S ACTUALLY BACK!""TRENCH IS DOWN!"

Mark stood over the downed brute, chest heaving, fists soaked in blood.

He looked up at the cameras.He knew exactly who was watching.

"Kade… this is just the start."

He raised his fist, and the crowd erupted into madness.
