Wringer

Set in a medieval era with tournaments, gladiators, and kings; Lena Luthor is the Crown Princess of a small Kingdom and the heir to her brother Lex Luthor. He has been a tyrant to their people since he rose to power in the wake of their father’s suspicious death. Lex drags Lena to the despised gladiators despite her hatred of the events to announce that he will be purchasing one of the female fighters as a bodyguard and possibly for him to use to spy on his sister. Kara Danvers has been put through the wringer, and she expects nothing much out of her life though she does her best to look on the bright side of things. She is one of the best fighters out there, but she doesn't much appreciate being singled out as a favorite of the King. The Princess though... she might not be that bad. ©All Rights Reserved

Jason had a problem - he had lived the same life twice. The first time, things were normal. Well, if you could call being taken from your parents by the government as an ‘asset’ because you have magic ‘normal’. Watching your mother die because she loved you too much to let go. Being raised as a weapon, forced to obey orders, and having nothing of your own. Getting sentenced to death for trying to escape and find something decent in the world. The second time, things were different - but not in a good way. Tried to fight the government when they came knocking, failed. Tried to disobey orders, was punished heavily and failed anyway. Tried to kill the people who abused you last time, failed and received treatment even worse than before. Tried to find that something decent in the world, to hold onto your hopes, and dreams of family. Failed. Endless failure, and pain, and despair far worse than before. Now Jason is on his third time through the wringer - and he has long abandoned all his dreams. There’s no hope now, and no future. In two lives they made him a weapon, and laughed as he destroyed. Now Jason will take it further - and destroy everything that is wrong in the world. There will be hell to pay.

Wrick is a worn out merchant with a seemingly important past, important to who is not known. He seems to have confused his emotions by suppressing his desires, read him go through the wringer as he learns more about who he really is, at this late stage of life.
