Story Mode Christmas Eve, 2023 (Patreon)

I’m now 18 years old. Guess it’s now legal for you to jerk off to me, ya weirdo. Shinzo can’t stop me from competing for real now, but he insists on being my cornerman and putting together a proper team for me if I plan on fighting (which I do.)

First things first, I gotta qualify, and in the fight game that means a qualifying match against a fellow often jokingly called “Santa Claus”... Tony D'Onofrio. He certainly seems jolly enough to be the Christmas fat man, but I hear he was quite the prize fighter back in his day.

I ended up qualifying handily, even toying with him a few times.

Tony: That boy has real potential. Where did you say you found him?

Shinzo: He found ME, actually. Poor thing survived the Outlands all alone when he was only a child, stumbled into Mydnite and I took him in.

Tony: I see… I have an idea. What if we market him as a vicious animal? The Beast from the Outlands, we’ll call him.

Shinzo: It’ll be good for him to channel that aggression. Maybe it’ll even help calm that rage.

Tony: For all our sakes, let’s hope not. Domestication kills the careers of fighters, Shinzo. Here’s to a profitable friendship!

Shinzo: hear, hear!
