By now Elb is the talk of the entire Outskirts. Just imagine-he can venture into places that most locals won't even dare go near. He has, after all, passed through the terrifying Stagnant Cesspool like a knife through butter, doing justice on its vile inhabitants. And now he joins the ranks of those regarded with favor by the System, being promoted for achievement, and receiving bonuses and access to new goodies.

However, our hero's plans do not include hanging around this dump. He and his unit, recently expanded to the tune of one fighter, are headed to Drainagetown-a place teaming with even stronger groups. Capitulation to the strong of this world is against his rules, as is ignoring what repulses him. The cannibals residing in the swamp known as The Stink, who snatch people and trade their flesh, are unaware that in crossing Elb's path, they are inviting problems.

At the same time, our hero continues to unravel the knot of the unknown, to figure out the nature of the world he finds himself in, and with the aid of memback, he is beginning to recall fragments of his previous life. And it may be that he was not such a good boy back then . . .
