King Inferno

The Ludus King

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

Inferno's path: The Fire Elementals Awakening

Mark Hood was a man who had it all—a thriving career, influence, and a life of luxury. But one fateful act of heroism ended it all. Dying in a burning building while trying to save imaginary lives, Mark's story should have ended there. Instead, he wakes up in an unfamiliar, fiery wasteland, reborn as a being made entirely of flames: a fire elemental. Stripped of his humanity—his status, his body, and even his identity—Mark is thrust into a harsh world where survival depends on strength and cunning. Faced with dangers from mythical creatures and the looming threat of "players" hunting for power, Mark must navigate this perilous existence while embracing his fiery new abilities. With a sharp tongue, an unrelenting spirit, and a questionable moral compass, Mark vows not to be anyone’s easy prey. As Mark unravels the mysteries of his rebirth, he discovers that even a lowly "NPC" can rewrite their destiny. With every challenge, he grows stronger, smarter, and more dangerous. But can he overcome the forces determined to exploit or destroy him? Or will his newfound spark be extinguished before it ignites into an inferno? Author's Note This is a reimagining of my story, rewritten to address the inconsistencies in its earlier version. As an author committed to improvement, I've worked to create a richer world, a more cohesive narrative, and a deeper connection with Mark's journey. Thank you for joining me on this fiery adventure—your support means everything as I continue to evolve as a writer!
