HomeFour 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 s
The HuntThe camera was switched on and everything else was ready. I sat in a majestic manner on throne which was made of obsidian black diamond and numerous human skulls. I was in partial god form. My eyes radiated it's purple glow while my sword shone in purple hue. It was an intimidating sight to behold. [For the image of Black Heart in this form].“People of Earth! I am Black Heart, the Vengeance god! You have all been made to witness this event for one reason, and one reason only: that I, Vengeance god Black Heart will always punish those who offend me, regardless wherever they may hide! Now! Look upon these men as they receive their punishments!”Rounding off my little speech, I struck the floor with my sword, the caused purple flames to burst forth from the ground, swallowing up the hostages and their frightful screams.“I killed them for their crimes against God and against Me. No one.. is above.. the law of Karma!”*[April 2022]I walked into the half-dark neon light room.T
The Lich[July 2022]Leaving the British airport, my next objective was to reach the embassy and collect my weapons and armor. I flagged down a cab.“Where to Sir?” He asked as I sat down.“The embassy if you please.” I said and turned my attention to the scenery of London.“Will do Sir.” He said and ignited the engine.The cab driver kept glancing at me through the mirror.“You here on vacation?” He asked.“Just here on business.” I replied nonchalantly.“Whatcha a young kid like you searching for on the streets of London?, what sorta business if you don't mind me asking.” He asked and glanced through the mirror.I wanted to just ignore the curious man but then I decided to piggyback on a famous movie punchline.“Sorry, but its the kind I'll have to kill you if I tell you.”He laughed out loud.“You a special agent or a team guy?” He asked.“Neither. I'm just a kid like you said.” I said in way that cut off any further conversation.The rest of the drive was silent and soon I arrived
UnrivaledThe knight and I crossed swords, he was clearly more powerful than I am but it didn't mean I'd give up so easily.CLINK!CLANK!It was a fierce battle and I once again found myself on the ground. I vomited another mouthful of blood and I felt my body writhing with pain.“Pity, such a pity. You hope to defeat me with such meagre strength?, you can't even defeat 10 of my death knights. How then do you plan to deal with the remaining 3000 death knights if you can't even defeat 10?” Minos shook his head and I knew he was disappointed. He had spent the last two weeks training me.Minos had trained me in secret, he did that because Lucius had requested him to and the case of me clearing his cave was just for show. Minos had said he would grant me free passage through his cave but I didn't expect him to go back on his word.“Minos, we can't keep doing this.” I said and tried to stand but still fell.“I want to see some real battle and not this cat and mouse fight. Pity, the witch Q
Witch-huntWe arrived at a small town, under the pitch black night. The folks weren't exactly the friendly type either. I strolled around the street searching for an eatery or at least a snack-bar.I found a bar and I went in. I was greeted with the silence the moment I got in. The bustling bar had turned into a graveyard.“You lost fella?” the male bartender asked as he reached his hand below the counter.“You need food or milk?” He asked again and that's when I knew something was up. I turned around and looked at the fear stricken men and women staring at me.“Good Sir, is it liquor you want?” he asked again. I smelt gunpowder and I knew the bartender was holding a gun ready to shoot in case I turn out to be the bad guy.He was a middle-aged bald man, he wasn't brawny, he seems to not have eaten for a year.“Do you have steak? With lots of sauce. Oh yeah, I'll need that milk you mentioned earlier as well.” I said. I still stood by the door.“Pick a table Sir. I will get your orders
Truthful LieI regained consciousness only to find myself in a pitch black room. It was so dark I couldn't even see past myself. I was seated on some kind of chair but I don't know what. I tried to stand but my body won't obey me, I decided to meditate and link to the demon wolf but I felt nothing.“Do not trouble yourself with that which is out of your reach.” a voice said. Though sweet and soothing, I felt malice and hatred from it.“Who's there? Show yourself!” I said trying my very best to remain calm.“The great and mighty Roman Prince, Maximus Aurelius, harbinger of death, now degraded to a lowly captive.” she said and laughed maniacally.I tried to recall how I got here, how I lost consciousness and who this crazy girl is.“By now you must have known you can't connect to the demon wolf inside you.” she laughed again.I knew then that this witch may have something to do with me losing connection to the demon wolf.“What did you do to me witch?” I asked.“Temper, temper. Tsk tsk
Gunshots in the roomSarah felt a cold sensation creep over her body as someone led her to a mansion bathed in pale moonlight. A tall fence surrounded the property, creating a mysterious aura that sent chills down her spine. The house was filled with strange sounds, such as the hiss of the wind sweeping through dry leaves and invisible whispers echoing in the night air. Sarah was both frightened and surprised by the atmosphere that stirred the imagination.She sighed heavily as the man escorting her pushed open the large door to the house. The door rattled as it opened, revealing a spacious living room with classical ornaments and luxurious furniture that looked like objects thrown from the Victorian era. Large candles lit up the room, creating strange shadows all over the walls.Without warning, Sarah was suddenly pulled into the basement by a large, fierce-looking man. The man wore a black cloak that fluttered behind him as he held Sarah firmly by the arm. His eyes were sharp and fi
ExaminationLucian did not shoot Sarah; instead, he simply puffed a shot into the wall above Sarah's head. The girl gasped, her breath coming in gasps, faced with such intense fear. All this Lucian did to scare Sarah."Listen carefully, you must beg me not to kill you!" he threatened, his sharp gaze penetrating Sarah's eyes.Sarah, with no other choice, had to submit to this situation. She begged hesitantly, "Please, don't kill me.""You think you can be reckless with me? That's the result if you're insolent and dare to challenge me!" said Lucian in a cold voice full of arrogance. Lucian then ordered his guards to untie the ropes that bound Sarah.The guards quickly loosened the ropes, binding Sarah. The girl felt an instant relief as the weight on her wrists disappeared. However, Lucian's menacing presence still made her feel trapped in uncertainty.After eating the food Lucian had given her and taking a shower, Sarah found Lucian back in his room. The air was tense, characterized b
