The general population of this world has no idea the price you have to pay to rise up. I’m not talking about a little bit of success. I’m not talking about a university education, a nice house with a sports car in the driveway, and a yearly vacation to Bali.

I’m talking elite success.

If a child of an elite goes to university, they fuck off the whole time. They make friends. Connections. They start up companies and graduate with a degree or two they didn’t need, let alone earn. I’m talking about mansions with ten-car garages filled with sports cars, situated on estates with a stable of polo ponies out back, and yachts that sail you to Bali under the expert hand of a well-paid crew.

It’s a game to them. And we’re all nothing but bit players.

I had a taste of that life with Benny. He had all those things and he shared them with me. He made me train and he had expectations of me. I was expected to win. But I had expectations of winning too. It was, after all, the only way to save my life. But once you get a taste of what these people have—once you realize that life is a video game for them—it takes a much stronger man than I ever was to chuck it all away and leave with nothing.

I’m not alluding to Cort here, either. Though he probably is a much better man than I’ll ever be.

“You want in the Ring, Eason?” Benny asked me, his British accent strong, even though he wasn’t the least bit British. This was right after he had managed to schedule my next Ring of Fire fight with Sick Heart. Then he laughed. “Do you know… that there are other options?”

I was confused. I had options?

“You could be like me, Eason. Well, not exactly like me, of course. I’m a literal prince. But you could change the path of all your descendants. You could start a dynasty. What do you think of that?”

What did I think of that?

“You think this is a prize?” He panned his arms wide to indicate Bora Bora, which is where we were at the time. “You have no idea the kind of prizes you could have. And you don’t even have to fight.”

“What?”

“That’s right. Of course, you will have that fight with the Sick Heart. Don’t worry about that. I’ve arranged it. You will win, I will get his camp, and then we will have lots of fighters, Eason. More than we know what to do with. And the minute that happens, the moment you win—while you’re still standing on that Bull of Light platform, I will make that call, and have that talk, and everything will be… just… fine. They already have what they need to keep you in line. So I will make sure that they take your application seriously. What do you think of that?”

“All I have to do is one fight?”

“More than one. But not many more. Just a few.
