Four years have gone by in just a blink of an eye and yet we're still at war with Germany.“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 in our favour 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.“Germany 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 Germany muste

Four years have passed since Commodus murdered Father. And since then Rome had plunged into deepest chaos. Every day 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 it was 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 has 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 scratch

*Ratatatata!!**Click click Boom!!*AKs and shotguns kept going off, but they had little or no effect against me. I cleaved the policemen like they were pieces of paper. I was about to head off to the detention room when my danger sense tingled, I sidestepped and placed my back against the wall.*Ratatatata!!* A cop with an AK blasted the place where I previously stood. I spun around and threw a shokuren (ninja star) at him.*Puuok* a bullseye, right on the forehead.“Now these pests have been taken care of, let's go see our prey,” I said as I leisurely strolled towards the detention room.As I got there, I could sense more than one life force, and I could also smell gunpowder, lots of it, and fear. I smiled, it seems not all the pests have been taken care of. I took out three spoken, and held them in my left hand, while my katana in my right hand. I smashed the door down and threw the three spoken forward while I did a cartwheel to dodge the bullet rain. The shokuren struck a cop on

“You should leave before someone comes in,” I said to the frightened girl. I sighed and then chose to leave the office. She grabbed my arm as I began walking past her. I turned around and stared at her with stern eyes.“Please take me with you. I want to be just like you” she said with sparkly eyes. Okay, that wasn't exactly what I was expecting to hear from her when she grabbed my arm. “You are a murderer, you will pay for your crime.” Yeah sure. “Wait till the police arrive, you can't just leave.” Yeah sure. But the phrases “Please take me with you” and “I want to be just like you” never crossed my mind. My heart softened a bit as I could vaguely guess what she'd been through at the hands of school lecturers to harden her heart this way. Sadly I don't think my path is the one she should follow. What she needs is genuine love and care, not blood and knives.“Sorry to bust your bubbles, but I can't” I replied and tried to shake off her hand from my arm, surprisingly it didn't budge.“

Every villain has that moment when they lose themselves in the bloodlust and vengefulness. They unknowingly become monsters. It may have all started as a simple revenge, but then it drifted off-road along the way, then comes the massive slaughter. Sure every villain lose themselves, but not me. The madness is clear as crystal. Right from the moment I stepped foot on the path of vengeance, I already had plans to unleash the demon wolf that's been suppressed in me. But to do that, I need the souls of a thousand humans who died by my vengeful hands. Cruel, right? But the funny thing is I don't feel pity for these hypocrites, especially these crooks who claim to be apostles of justice, and most of all, the nine preys and my mate who betrayed me. I could feel rage rising within me, I could feel my breath becoming hotter than lava, I could see the darkness seeping through my body, I could literally see the darkness creeping out and weaving around like tiny snakes.“Humanity doesn't deserve
