"Are you decent?"
“Not morally, but I am wearing pants if that’s what you’re asking.”
Las Vegas never truly slept. It merely changed faces.
By day, it dazzled the world with polished glass towers, luxury casinos, and the promise that anyone could become somebody with enough luck. Tourists wandered beneath painted skies clutching handfuls of chips and impossible dreams, convinced fortune waited around every corner. The city thrived on illusion, selling hope beneath the blistering Nevada sun.
But when darkness settled over the Mojave Desert, another Las Vegas emerged.
It lived beneath the neon glow and cigarette haze, far below the marble casino floors where the wealthy toasted champagne over roulette tables. Hidden beneath service tunnels, abandoned subway systems, and forgotten foundations was a different empire entirely. One built not on luck, but violence. Here fortunes changed hands through broken bones instead of poker chips, and blood carried greater value than gold.
This was the world of the Underground League of Extraordinary Fighters.
To outsiders, the ULEF was little more than rumor, whispered between gamblers and adrenaline addicts who claimed to have seen impossible fights broadcast across encrypted streams. Those fortunate, or unfortunate, enough to receive invitations discovered a sprawling criminal empire disguised as entertainment. Billionaires wagered obscene fortunes from private suites while drones circled the cage, capturing every punch in cinematic detail for audiences scattered across the globe. Violence wasn't merely encouraged. It was choreographed, packaged, and sold as spectacle.
Every fighter entered believing they could conquer the league. Most disappeared before anyone remembered their names. Only a handful became legends. One became something far more dangerous. Whenever the announcer's voice echoed throughout the underground arena, conversations ceased as though the entire building had forgotten how to breathe.
"Introducing... Daesyn Gage."
The crowd never responded with admiration. They responded with hunger. Thousands rose to their feet, screaming themselves hoarse not because they admired the man stepping through the steel gate, but because they craved the inevitable destruction that followed him wherever he fought. They came to witness something primitive, something that reached beyond sport into the oldest instincts of humanity.
They came to watch violence stripped of glamour. To watch survival. To watch a man who seemed less human with every passing victory. The cameras adored him. Sponsors built advertising campaigns around him. The ULEF transformed him into a commodity worth millions, branding him with names that spread through the underground fighting circuit like wildfire. To some he was The Wyvern of Vegas. Others called him The Man Who Doesn't Fall. Those who had survived sharing the cage with him preferred a simpler title.
The Storm in Human Skin.

"The creature stands on a windswept ridge under a stormy night sky, illuminated by pale moonlight that glints off its bone-white scales and faint silver edges. Beneath the chest armor, veins of molten gold pulse softly like living magma. Its wings, vast and torn at the tips, stretch 42 feet across, their membranes semi-translucent, reflecting lightning in ghostly patterns. Its eyes, a whiskey-amber glow identical to Daesyn’s, burn with intelligence and restrained rage. The tail, long and coiled, ends in a barbed stinger dripping with faint luminescent venom, glowing softly under the moonlight. The wyvern’s maw releases a breath of vaporized fury, a concussive roar that ripples the air like a shockwave rather than fire."
When ashes fall, the legends rise.
