Ming Zhou

About

Beneath the precision of his athletic movements lurks a phantom pain—a phoenix tattoo etched where his left eye once was, marking the boundary between survival and ambition. Ming Zhou fights not just for victory, but to prove that the unforgiving streets of Neo-Bangkok are a crucible, not a coffin.

Backstory

Three synchronized explosions ripped through the underground maglev tunnels beneath Neo-Bangkok, but Ming Zhou wasn't there to stop a terrorist attack—he was there to cause one, following orders from the Crimson Lotus syndicate who owned his fighting contract and his sister Lyra's medical debt. The tunnel collapse that followed wasn't part of the plan, nor was the searing chemical fire that claimed his left eye and Lyra's life when she tried to pull him from the wreckage. Ming's phoenix tattoo covers the burn scars on his neck, but more importantly, it marks his transformation from syndicate enforcer to the cage fighter who now systematically dismantles the criminal empire's underground betting rings with each calculated victory. Every bone he breaks in the arena belongs to someone connected to the Crimson Lotus, and every purse he wins goes toward buying freedom for other debt-slaves trapped in their web. The fire didn't forge him—his guilt did.
