DESCRIPTION:
At first, I was enamored by the ability to augment everything about myself−to become smarter, stronger, prettierbetter. But after my teleportation to that first Trial−a death tournament held on a beautiful, vicious alien world−I would have done anything to escape the Game. I am the new god.
