The Death Brigade
Description
In a society ruled by wealth and violence, blood is paramount, and Kim Jiwon’s has never been worth more than the gutters it falls in. After two years, hundreds of fights, and not a single loss, he’s finally making a reputation for himself—but reputations only last until you lose.
Foreword
I got inspired for this after watching an episode of Love, Death, & Robots (specifically Sonnie's Edge). I'd recommend watching it if you've got 15 minutes to spare as it'll nicely set the mood for what's to come!
This is set in slightly dystopian future, where society is run on money and the fighting arena. Kids grow up idolizing fighters over musicians or actors, and violence is common place. There is a very obvious divide between the rich and the poor. Hanbin, Junhoe, and Yunhyeong all come from the rich side, while Jiwon, Donghyuk, and Chanwoo come from the poor side. Jinhwan sits in the middle, straddling the line as a newspaper reporter.
This is going to be really dark, with a lot of angsty storylines. It's the epitome of a slow burn, as feelings are going to take a very long time to develop.
