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.

Throughout history, Humans have strived for greatness, not only in name but in deeds as well, and many failed to achieve it.  It was no different in a Land of Dragons, Mythical beings, Knights, Mages, Demi-humans, and demonic beings. But their greatness came in a different form, a concept known as POWER.  The power to conquer, to build, to control, to protect, and to love.  Raffaelo Jun was a man born with a silver spoon, yet his sheltered upbringing prevented him from becoming the man he was meant to be.  He was unable to achieve the greatness of the prestigious family of the Jun household and became a sight of ridicule.  He was used for a while until he wasn't, then discarded and killed for being a threat to the throne, but Fate had other plans.  Reborn as a child, he starts over as the sole son of the Jun household, his actions brimming with intent.  He had one goal: attain the power that he once ignored and stand on the precipice of human existence, to protect all that are dear to him.  Note: It starts slowly until recent chapters. Interesting side characters, power systems, techniques, and a mixture of variety with the right blend. If you enjoy this work, give me your support, with votes, comments, and reviews :>

Uche had spent most of his life in hiding, constantly on the run, all because of a trait that made him different from everyone else. He possessed a strange power that allowed his body to heal from almost any injury, instantly. While this might seem like an incredible, life-saving ability in a world full of mere mortals, it only brought Uche misery and trouble, turning him into an outcast. People called him a Monster, shunned him, and wished him nothing but death. But while most wanted him gone, there were others who saw him differently. Instead of calling him a Monster, they referred to him as "Connect." Instead of driving him away, they sought to capture him, to use his power for their own gain. As a result, Uche had lived his life in fear, hiding from both those who despised him and those who wanted to exploit him—until the day he was kidnapped by an organ trafficking ring, and lost one of his eyes during a forced surgery, and that was when everything changed for him.

This was finally it. My death. I felt all the air squeeze out of my lungs until I heard it - the deep, hoarse voice that sent chills down my spine. "Stop the execution," the king said with a warning edge that even a fool couldn't miss. Damian's face twisted with surprise that barely concealed his fury at the King's words. "Your Highness," he repeated, masking his irritation with a shallow bow, "This is the execution we spoke about a while ago that involved the treason." From his facial expression, I could tell he felt the need to state that. The king's gaze turned steely, cutting through Damian's attempt at justification. "Why aren't your guards backing down?" he asked, his voice dripping with authority that left murmurs in the crowd. "Or have you forgotten who commands this realm, Alpha Damian?" "Penelope Neville will be taken into my custody..." He declared. "Any attempt to go against my order or interfere will be met with swift and severe punishment worse than death."

In 2025, Earth is still happily unaware of most cosmic forces that occur beyond its atmosphere. That would change one day when over 50 high school seniors, on a field trip far away from home and safety, find themselves at the heart of a terrifying phenomenon. Without warning, multiversal mana pierces through dimensional barriers, causing an earth-altering event: blood-red rains fall for precisely a minute to mark the start of an unimaginable nightmare. Within minutes, any human touched by the rain begins a transformation into a mindless zombie, sowing chaos and fear. But that is not all of the horrors: insects, plants, and animals touched by the rain undergo rapid and terrifying mutations, evolving larger, stronger, and far more dangerous. With each kill these creatures make, they become stronger, raising the threat bar with each life taken. In the midst of this storm, there is a light at the end of the tunnel to restore the hope of humanity. Those who managed to kill one of those mutated creatures developed an awakening. These became known as "Awakeners"; such a person was granted powers, but most importantly, a system-a place that showed them where they were and how much further they could go in developing their abilities. A rare scroll, possibly a relic of new powers or cryptic information regarding the world's new laws, might come with each kill. The Earth then becomes a cruel battlefield where the newly Awakened have to struggle for life against an endless tide of mutants. For a group of high school seniors on a field trip, survival means fighting through fear and confronting a world where only the strong survive. A blood-red-colored rain started an apocalypse and heralded a new era when the struggle for power, survival, and evolution would be joined in the desperate fight to shape the future of mankind. 1. **Low Grade** - Green 2. **Common Grade** - Blue 3. **Uncommon Grade** - Yellow 4. **Elite Grade** - Orange 5. **Heroic Grade** - Purple 6. **Champion Grade** - Red 7. **Demon Grade** - Dark Red 8. **Angel Grade** - Light Blue 9. **Heavenly Grade** - Gold 10. **Ethereal Grade** - Silver 11. **Legendary Grade** - White 12. **Dimensional Grade** - Black

I am being hunted. Well, not me exactly. Someone wants to get their hands on the genius behind A.M.K Pharmaceuticals. They just don't know it's me. I have discovered a way to negate anyone's scent, shifter or human. You would think it wouldn't be that big of a deal... deodorants promise the same thing, but my product is nothing like that. My product turns its wearers invisible to shifters. No, not like that. But shifters need scent more than almost anything else to identify and find a person. Without scent, they can't track down their prey, or smell an enemy coming up from behind. I had originally created it so my adopted father and I could avoid the shifter community. No one was supposed to know about it. Until a little birdy said something they shouldn't have to the wrong person. Now the humans are after me and the shifters want me dead. But that's fine. That wasn't the only thing I came up with. And if I am as silent as a mouse, no one will see me coming until it is too late. This will be a RH novel, the FMC will not have to choose.
