A man awaiting judgment inspects a blue-eyed lizard avatar via an Avatar System: Level 1, no abilities, zero evolution points. He realizes the avatar can grow indefinitely by killing and devouring and vows, "Terry, I bet you didn't see this system coming!" He treats the creature as his only chance for a comeback before the judgment in a month. Prison authorities, led by General Wooley, order daily energy suppressants to prevent accidents and "take good care" of him, accepting his injuries will worsen and never heal. With growth blocked and the deadline looming, his comeback remains uncertain.
