About this listen
Orenis has been convicted of a crime he hasn't committed. His sentence is death in the gladiatorial games. But Orenis intends to go down fighting. If he can't prove his innocence, then he will take as many of his enemies down with him as possible. But his plans go awry when he realizes that some of his enemies are closer than he thinks, and he realizes the truth.
"The sentence is death by combat."
The words rang in his head as he stared at his bare feet and shackled ankles. The last day of his life, and he would spend it fighting for the amusement of others.
How many times had he come to the arena and cheered as a prisoner had been decapitated or impaled? Too many to count. The whole thing seemed so barbaric from this side of the coin.
"And what if I survive?" he asked.
It was a question that the judges had probably heard a thousand times, from a thousand different criminals. They already had an answer ready for him: "No one survives."

After the War of the Gods, the demons were cast out and fell to the world. Mankind was nearly eradicated by the seemingly unstoppable beasts until the gods sent the great hero, Ramrowan, to save them. He united the tribes, gave them magic, and drove the demons into the sea. Ever since, the land has belonged to man, and the oceans have remained an uncrossable hell, leaving the continent of Lok isolated.

What he doesn't yet realize is that the world is a much more dangerous place than he could ever have imagined.

Story
Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.
