I put on my chest crossbelt, my sheathed sword and then wore the purple robe gifted to me by the Caesar.As soon as I entered the hall, all eyes were on me.“Son, come in and take a seat.” the Caesar gestured to the chair beside him.I went to the chair, sat down and looked at him inquisitively“You requested for me Father.”He looked at my face then his smile vanished“Are you troubled with anything?” he then patted my shoulder“Never let anyone trample on your dignity nor on your happiness.”“Yes Father.” He then looked at general Amphitryon“How are the preparations coming.”The general smiled“The blacksmiths have all completed their tasks, 2000 black metal armor, and the Prince's sword has been forged from a rock sent down by Apollo, and the swordmaster from Argos will be here in another 3 days.”I was confused“What's going on Father, are we under attack?”The Caesar turned to me and patted my shoulder, smiling.“We learnt from the men who went with you of your exceptional lead

Four years has gone in just a blink of an eye and yet we're still at war with Germania.“General Maximus, the Caesar requests your presence.” Namor saluted as he finished.Yeah, I got promoted to General when Amphyhitron met with misfortune as an arrow found its way to his throat two years ago, I took over his position and since then the tides had turned to our favor as Rome was winning.I saw Father atop his horse alongside other nobles.“Father, you sent for me.” I said and gave a slight bow.“Germania has mustered all its troops from far and near, they mean to end this war once and for all.” He said and his face was gloomy.I merely smiled.“You find this situation amusing my son?” He asked visibly annoyed.“Forgive me Father.” I wiped off the smiles from my face and became all business as I continued.“But the Assyrians have long fled from the battlefield as they've suffered heavy loss when I charged into their lines and slaughtered half their troops. The news of Germania musterin

Four years have passed since Commodus murdered Father. And since then Rome had plunged into deepest chaos. Everyday I heard stories of murder, rape, small scale wars and other kinds of evil Father had painstakingly eliminated from Rome.I decided to return to Rome and make Commodus pay for his crime, but I needed to wait for the perfect time. And as it would seem, Commodus had begun an evil game which Father hated the most; Battle of gladiators. I felt its my only chance into Rome and close to Commodus, I had to become a gladiator, which I am now.I joined a rank of gladiators and have fought my way to the top.“Spaniard, I hear the Roman gladiators are not so easy to deal with.” Motumba, a dark skinned gladiator from the far deserts whom have been so friendly to me ever since I joined their ranks.“You worry too much Motumba, they are but flesh and blood as we are.” I replied to quell his rising fear.“To you they are, for you can slaughter a hundred men with not even a single scratc

Maximus had been waiting at the Gayle Royalty lobby for almost half an hour with Ben still standing behind him. Ben had not uttered a word since, it seemed he was still in a trance and Maximus did not want to stop his train of thought. Just a tire screech was heard outside and it seemed to Maximus the Gayle family were finally here.Daniel Akkris Gayle, Amelia, Sirius Xavier and two other elders who were both at early grandmaster-rank. Maximus sensed Daniel's powers and realized his step brother had advanced to intermediate master-rank. They all stepped into the lobby and Sirius eyes were instantly filled with hate as he set his eyes on Maximus who stood like an emperor with his hands behind his back.“Hello Daniel, times has been a bit hard, hasn't it?” Maximus asked with faked concern, in fact it was so fake everyone knew it was fake and Maximus was in fact just mocking Daniel.“You bastard! You should never have returned!” Daniel screamed. Maximus simply laughed and then totally ig

Maximus had now decided to take this unknown enemy seriously, if what his father said is true, that can only mean the little Roman Prince the system had shown him will have grown into a monster. But how can a hero become a villain? Not just an ordinary villain but one described in the scroll of prophesies as 'The apocalypse bringer'. What's worse is that the scroll said he had lost his fight against this enemy.Maximus rolled the scroll, tightened it with a thin rope and placed it back on the shelf. Just then a knock was heard on the door and Ben walked in. He had decided to help his old friend as always even though he had no ability.“Max, are you still hung up on what he said?” Ben asked on seeing a few scrolls on the table.“He was telling the truth. The best thing to do now is know more about this enemy.” Maximus replied. After reading the scroll, he was just about to tell the system to show him more about this enemy from the other world before Ben came in.“What brings you in her
