The thin man's eyes widened in shock. He dropped his dagger and sprinted down the alley.I stared at my hands in awe. "How did I do that?" I wondered. My instincts had taken over, and I'd tapped into incredible strength.A gentle voice interrupted my thoughts. "Thank you for saving me. What's your name?"I gazed at the woman. "I'm Mackintosh."Her eyebrows arched. "That's not a Roman name. I'll call you Maximus."Surprise flickered across her face, but I didn't mind. Maximus sounded strong, courageous.I was annoyed, why would she change my name? And who gave her the right to do so.“Hey lady, my name is Mackintosh and not Maximus.”She merely smiled“Stay calm stranger, come, I shall take you home and get a stable for your horse.”I was already pissed but I had no choice but to follow her.She casually walked towards the end of the alley which seemed to lead to another street.“You came to Rome at the wrong time stranger, the Persians are waging war with Rome and the Syrians are supp
Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 50. A Prince
I was left speechless. His words stunned me, leaving me dazed. But I knew I couldn't refuse the King's offer in front of his loyal subjects - that would undermine his authority.So, I knelt down. "My Lord, I'm deeply grateful for your offer. I only helped the people because it was the right thing to do."The King smiled and helped me up. "You did what others wouldn't," he said. "You acted selflessly, without seeking fame or power. That's why, from this day forward, you'll be my son, Prince Maximus."His words sounded plain and simple, but maybe my brain had finally adjusted to their unusual way of speaking.The Roman general knelt on one knee“Hail the godsent, Hail Prince Maximus.”Every other soldier knelt as well and the crowd stood up and shouted in unison“Hail the godsent, Hail Prince Maximus, Hail Hail Hail.”I just stood there, opened my mouth but no words could be formed.And just like that I was made a Prince. ***A week later***The coronation has been completed and
Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 50. First Victory
I searched the tent, grabbed the documents, and headed to General Massou's quarters. As I approached, I heard disturbing noises. The captain was right; no guards were around.I slipped inside, finding the general engaged in a compromising act with a young woman. She seemed to be enjoying herself, but I was appalled. "How could she?" I thought. "Her people suffer, and she indulges in pleasure."I snuck up behind the general, silenced him, and ended his life. The woman tried to scream, but I swiftly subdued her, rendering her unconscious.“If you weren't of Roman birth I wouldn't hesitate to slit your throat as well you traitorous whore.” I swore angrily. The death of the young woman in that captain's tent had pissed me off.Well, that takes care of the captain and the General, all I need now is to assassinate the Prince which I knew was going to be as tough as swimming the Mediterranean sea.I left general Massou's tent and went off to the Prince's tent, I moved fast because I knew it

I put on my gear – a chest crossbelt, sword, and the purple robe the Caesar gave me. As I entered the hall, all eyes turned to me."Son, come join me," the Caesar said, gesturing to the chair beside him.I sat down, curious. "You called for me, Father?"The Caesar's smile faded, his eyes locked on mine. "Is something troubling you?" He patted my shoulder. "Never let anyone disrespect you or undermine your happiness.""Yes, Father," I replied.He turned to General Amphitryon. "How are the preparations?""The blacksmiths have finished their work," the general reported. "We have 2000 black metal armors, and the Prince's sword, forged from Apollo's rock, will be ready soon. The swordmaster from Argos arrives in three days."Confused, I asked, "Father, are we under attack?"The Caesar smiled, patting my shoulder reassuringly.“We learnt from the men who went with you of your exceptional leadership and military tactics, we feel it's best for you to lead a small platoon. Your armor has alrea
Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 53. Ambushed
Chaos erupted around us. War cries filled the air."Form a shield wall! Hold your positions until I give the order!" I shouted.My mind raced to come up with a plan. The soldiers remained steady, confident in their metal armor. But I knew that in war, no one is invincible. Even the smallest object can kill a skilled fighter.My thoughts scrambled for a strategy. The soldiers stood firm, trusting their armor. But I knew that in combat, anything can be deadly, no matter how well-armed or protected you are.Half naked barbaric looking men rushed out from all corners of the surrounding wielding axes, pickaxes, swords, maces, steel hammers. That's when he came; 9.7ft tall, dressed in a dusty kilt and chest cross belt, eyes emitting crazy killing intents and burly muscles ready to crush the bones of anyone who defiled him, holding a large bloodied stone hammer, his aura was stronger and more deadly than that of the Cyclops and he was just striding over towards us like a King.“Hear me oh ye
Rise Of The Mafia Lord Chapter 54. Victory against Germania
Four years flew by in an instant, and the war with Germania dragged on. "General Maximus, the Caesar needs you," Namor announced, saluting.I rose to general after Amphitryon's tragic fall two years prior. Rome's fortunes had since shifted in our favor.As I approached, I saw Father on horseback, surrounded by nobles. "You summoned me, Father?" I asked, bowing slightly."Germania has gathered its forces," he said, his expression grim. "They're determined to end this war once and for all."I smiled, unfazed."Do you find this amusing, son?" Father asked, visibly irritated.“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 mustering troops from far and near are merely rumors to make us quake with fear. And besides, if they're really mustering troops, then I suggest they

I approached Father, bowing slightly. "Father, the war with Germania is over, just as I promised."He dismounted his horse, hugged me, and kissed my cheek. "The gods blessed us the day you defeated the cyclops. You've liberated Rome once more."I smiled. "Rome gave me a home, and for that, I'm forever grateful."I took his hand, joking, "Let's go home, Father. You smell like dust and smoke."Father laughed, glancing at the approaching nobles. "The young Caesar thinks I need caring for."The nobles chuckled. I was taken aback. Did he just call me "Young Caesar"? Does he plan to make me his successor? What about Commodus?Uncomfortable, I decided to address it.“Father, what young Caesar, I am not even of royal birth, besides, you have Commodus.” I said but he only smiled.“Walk with me son. We need to talk.” he said and I then held his hand.We walked through the ranks of the Roman soldiers and onto the path leading to the outskirt of the battlefield.“All of Rome have chosen you as th

It's been almost four years since Commodus brutally killed my father, plunging Rome into chaos. Daily, I heard horrifying stories of murder, rape, and war - the very evils my father had worked tirelessly to eradicate.Seeking justice, I waited patiently for the perfect moment to strike. Then, I learned Commodus had revived the brutal gladiator battles my father despised. Seeing an opportunity, I decided to become a gladiator to infiltrate Rome and get close to Commodus.Now, as a top-ranked gladiator, I've proven my skills in the arena."Spaniard, beware of the Roman gladiators," Motumba, a friendly dark-skinned gladiator from the desert, cautioned. "They're formidable opponents."I reassured him, "Don't worry, Motumba. They're human, just like us. We can beat them."Or, if you'd like a more modern and conversational tone:It's been four years since Commodus murdered my dad and sent Rome into chaos. I've been waiting for the right moment to take revenge.Then, I heard Commodus was hos

Maximus's eyes lit up with excitement. "Ah, the Hale Manor. I've heard so much about it. It's going to be a pleasure to watch you take them down, Xavier."Xavier's gaze turned cold, his mind focused on the task ahead. "Let's get this over with. I have a score to settle."As they approached the Hale Manor, Xavier could feel the weight of his past bearing down on him. He had been born into this family, but they had never accepted him. They had treated him like dirt, like he was nothing.But now, Xavier was back, and he was not alone. He had Maximus by his side, and together, they were unstoppable.The gates of the Hale Manor swung open, and Xavier's eyes locked onto the mansion. It was just as he remembered it - grand, opulent, and cold."Shall we?" Maximus asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.Xavier nodded, his jaw clenched. "Let's do this."As they stepped into the mansion, Xavier was met with the familiar sight of his family's portraits hanging on the walls. He felt a surge of an

I stood at the entrance of the dark tower with anger and hatred burning in my eyes. I just found out that my mate has been faithful to me all these while and she was even the one who helped me escape the subatomic world, but those witches tried to fill my head with lies and fabricated photos, not to mention the torture I went through in their hands. And I will make them suffer a hundredth fold.“How do you wish to play this Maximus?” the demon wolf asked. I clutched the handle of my sword so tight my knuckles were white.“Slow, painful, near death and then an undesirable death.” I said grinning from ear to ear. If someone was there to capture my expression at that moment, I'm sure the person will shudder from fear as I knew I looked like the smiling devil.“Let's go harvest their fears, anger and lives.” the demon wolf said.I dashed into the lobby and was met with the whizzing sound of lightening.“Did you think we won't notice your disappearance?” a girl in plain white came out from

I slowly opened my eyes, only to be consumed by darkness. The blackness was suffocating, making it impossible to see beyond my own nose.I tried to stand, but my body refused to cooperate, anchored to a mysterious chair.Panic threatened to overwhelm me, but I forced myself to calm down. I attempted to meditate, seeking a connection with the demon wolf within. Silence greeted me.A melodic voice pierced the darkness, its sweetness laced with venom. "Don't bother striving for what's beyond your grasp."I gritted my teeth, fighting to maintain composure. "Who's there? Show yourself!"The voice chuckled, a manic edge creeping in. "The legendary Roman Prince, Maximus Aurelius, bringer of death, now reduced to a helpless captive."Her laughter sent shivers down my spine. I struggled to recall how I ended up here, how I lost consciousness, and who this mysterious woman was."You've discovered you can't reach the demon wolf within," she said, her amusement evident.A spark of realization ign

As I approached the tower, my expectations shattered. Instead of a dark, foreboding Rapunzel-esque spire, a sleek glass skyscraper pierced the sky. I snorted. "Evil tower, indeed."The locals must have never seen a skyscraper before, I thought, or they've been trapped in their quaint town for too long. They sure reminded me of the locals in Rome. What would Commodus when he sees the modern Rome now? He was just immature to kill his father for the throne. Too bad he didn't get to enjoy his time as King.With a flourish, I unsheathed my swords and stepped into the building. The lobby's eerie silence enveloped me. Empty halls stretched out, devoid of life.I strode to the elevator, pressed the top-floor button, and waited. Minutes ticked by, yet the elevator didn't budge. Confusion gnawed at me.Just then, a familiar voice whispered in my ear. "I smell magic here, Maximus."I turned to face the demon wolf, surprised. "You're still here? I thought you'd wandered off."The wolf's gaze lock

The skeletal figure raised its hands to the sky. "As the dead obey Hades, so shall they obey me," it declared. "I summon all doomed souls within Minos' territory. Rise as death knights and heed my call."The ground trembled, and skeletal hands burst forth from the earth. Quickly, they multiplied - ten, hundreds, then thousands. Each wore black armor and wielded fiery swords.I merely smirked, stared at the clone like it was some kind of a stupid creature.“The more, the merrier, this just got more fun. And here I thought you were some mighty creature, I was wrong, you're just another dumb prey.”I gripped my sword and dashed towards the vast army at superhuman speed.I was like a blur to them and they were unable to retaliate. The death knights were falling, battered, dismembered, headless and burnt. But then I soon began to feel weak.Why the hell was I feeling weak? I should be feeling stronger the more I kill, shouldn't I?“Do you feel it now demon wolf?” The clone smiled and said.

As our helicopter soared towards London's outskirts, I sat between Major Triston Allen and Sergeant Anderson Marshal.Major Allen spoke through the headset, "Did you know Minos de First slaughtered 2,300 apprentices to revive his soulmate? Now, he controls an army of death knights and skeleton soldiers."I remained silent, sensing he was trying to provoke me.Sergeant Anderson responded, "That's ridiculous! Who confirms this?"Major Allen replied, "Intel from reliable sources. We're in over our heads, guys."I stayed quiet, unsure why they'd joined this perilous mission.Sergeant Anderson asked, "Xavier, what's your take on this?"I remained silent, lost in thought.Major Allen pressed on, "We need to know what we're up against. Xavier?"Sergeant Anderson intervened, "Let him focus, Major. We'll brief soon enough."The helicopter flew on, tension lingering.“No one has ever gone into his cave and returned.” Anderson said.So he truly is the most terrifying Necromancer alive. No one ha

«Ding!Two hours to doors unlock!» the AI system spoke out.Maximus smiled at Xavier."You must be wondering why I'm being such a talkative.""Yes, in fact, it's begining to annoy me. We're stock in here for another two hours." Xavier said. He really wanted to leave the facility and proceed with his plan to take down all Mafia families."I will keep you company for the next two hours then." Maximus said with feigned sadness."Dude! we're in this together!" Xavier almost blew his top."Then allow me to continue my life story." Maximus said beaming with smiles."What? weren't you through with all that.." Xavier was about to complain but Maximus placed his hand on Xavier's mouth."Hush, don't interrupt."*It was a few years after I returned from Rome, approximately twelve years after Rome.
