BLEEDING EGO BOOK 5: RACE FOR THE SAINT KING

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ALL PRIOR BOOKS!!! MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES – READ BOOKS 1–4 FIRST! (Especially Book 4: Silver Age – massive callbacks and legacy payoffs ahead. You've been warned.) Miguel Azral—and I mean the original VARIANT of Miguel from The Blood of the Aswangs—is 41, broken, and has six months left to live. He made one final promise to MABUS: the winner of this last tournament claims the Saint King title forever. But Miguel isn't chasing glory. In his final stretch, he poured everything into training a new generation—neurodivergent heroes, a version of himself from the streets of Tondo, and atypical world-savers who once stood beside him—to surpass every legend that came before. He must keep fighting. Keep bleeding. Keep teaching. Even as his body fails and the multiverse watches. Will he pass the torch before death claims him? Will he fade from existence entirely? Or will Miguel Azral—through raw, humble defiance—surpass life and death itself? The Bleeding Ego Silver Age saga ends here. Kindness pushes through. The thin line holds. One last race... to redefine what winning truly means. PREVIOUS: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/130714/bleeding-ego-book-4-silver-age-the-blood-of-the NEXT: ?TBA
