TL;DR

In a modern world where qi is money, Rick is a young fighter who wants a better life for himself and his sister, who has a spiritual illness. Martial power is controlled by corporations, modernized martial arts sects and governments, which leaves people at the bottom as second-class citizens (Audible, Goodreads blurb).

I · The Main Plot

Where We Start

Rick, a young fighter at the bottom of a society where qi works as money, trying to secure a better life for his sister (Audible).

Major Plot Points & Spoilers

  1. Rick pursues a better life for himself and his sister, whose spiritual illness is the pressure behind his choices (Audible blurb).
  2. The blurb frames the world: corporations, modernized martial arts sects and governments control martial power, and ordinary people are second-class (Audible).
  3. Book 2's blurb refers to Rick surviving 'the earlier tournament', so a tournament appears to fall in Book 1. The sources do not describe it, so no details are claimed.
