I want to start off this review by saying I have read this work twice to ensure that all criticisms reflect the details and plot points for this review.

This chapter takes place in a dystopian future where humans of pure flesh are rare, and a sign of wealth in a polluted world. Scavs frequent the arena just to scavenge for valuable, cybernetic equipment to be sold off to the black market.
By order of appearance, No’dea is the overseer of the arena and the one responsible for keeping scavs out from stealing loot from the corpses of the deceased combatants (to limited degrees of success). She is the most technologically advanced of the cyborgs and the most elegant in terms of combat prowess, preferring a ranged, rapid attack pattern. She also is most level-headed, and the most serious of the bunch, serving as the leader of the trio (unofficially). Brutus is possibly my personal favorite out of the trio. He’s the strongest of the three, the least intelligent (having a very unique character voice), but also the most humble and honest of the three. He can be considered the tank/fighter of the three owing to his immense size and physical prowess. Everytime I read his
