[Updates Daily] THE FINALE BEGINS!!! After losing friends and family, fighting in two wars, and suffering through more than they could possibly imagine, Roran and his comrades set their sights on the Kings. Every obstacle has been cleared from their path, all that remains is to collect their weapons, refine their abilities, and take on the Gods themselves. The journey comes to a close as the trio steps back into the arena for a final bout, one final game against the Kings. [Original synopsis] Kill the King, take the Crown, become a God. After losing his family and his home, Roran is thrown into a world where power is everything and the weak are nothing more than fodder for a growing empire. The ever churning arena keeps the Empire entertained and gives the downtrodden a chance to rise up and gain fortune, fame, and if you can climb high enough, the opportunity to challenge the Kings themselves and take their thrones for yourself. Finding a handful of companions, Roran picks up a blade and sets out to conquer the arena and tear down the men that destroyed his life. [This is a writing endurance challenge. I will be attempting to update this story every single day for a year. My goal is to take the story through a series of arcs leading up to a grand finale.] [Update: I'm well past a year and still going. Planning to have the story completed around February 23]
