Chapter 1 Gladiator

"I thought you would die on it, but you survived and won me a lot of money."

The strong, heavy armored man tore off a piece of meat from his plate, then walked to the gladiator who had just won, squatted down, and his hand-armed hand grabbed the gladiator's hair and pulled his face up from the ground.

"But I never thought before that you looked so cowardly and thin, but when you were facing death, you were like a lion."

Forced to stuff the hot fat into the blood-stained mouth of Gladiator, the Noxus general looked at the gladiator's hatred eyes and smiled.

"I like people like you. Although they seem cowardly at first, they can inspire endless power when facing fear and accomplish impossible things. So I will cultivate you to become a real lion and potentially become the next Veszero."

After he finished speaking, he burst into laughter, especially when he saw more hatred in the eyes of this man named 'Li Ke', his laughter became more and more cheerful.

The general let go of the exhausted gladiator's hair and threw the gladiator's head to the ground, allowing the barbecue and blood in his mouth to make the floor dirtier and allow him to see what he was going to do next.

He took a red-hot soldering iron, then squatted in front of the man named Li Ke again, showing him the red-hot lightning pattern.

The gladiator seemed to understand what he was going to do, so he struggled wildly, but under the suppression of the guards and chains, he could only roar unwillingly, and watched the Noxus general, laughing wildly, pressing the burning iron on his right hand, marking him an indelible slave.

And with humiliation, there is an unbearable severe pain. When the severe pain ends, what the weak gladiator sees is exactly that...

"ah!!"

He roared and sat up. Li Ke couldn't help but wear thick clothes. Even his long black hair became wet, and he felt like he had just been fished out of the water.

“…Did you dream again?”

After reaching out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and re-tied his messy hair, Li Ke exposed the back of his right hand, revealing the lightning-shaped scar on it. The delicate pattern seemed to be mocking him, mocking him as a time traveler who was a slave.

"How long have I been in this world?"

He looked at the snow outside the window, looked at the scratches he had scratched on the wall, and then gave up this meaningless behavior. Because after he came to the continent of Valorand, he had been in a coma for several days, so that the scratches he used to mark had become unreliable. As for why it still exists, it was because of boredom and obsession.

The obsession of killing that general.

Moreover, there is almost no time when it doesn’t snow in this ghost place. No matter how much he likes the flying snowflakes, he is already tired of seeing it. After all, it is difficult to see the sky from this prison, let alone the further scenery.

Standing up, the former white-collar worker picked up the breakfast delivered by the guards: a large portion of cold barbecue and bread served on an iron plate, and a bottle of wine. Put them on the charcoal brazier in their house and wait quietly for them to become hot again.

This rich breakfast seemed not to be something that slaves could eat, but Li Ke knew very well that it was not grace, but killing.

Barbecue and bread were the ‘rewards’ he received after killing 10 slaves alone, while wine was the ‘gift’ of the previous fight against 15 prisoners of war. The carbon fire and the quilt were the ‘rewards’ of him facing a 10-meter-high insect-type beast alone.

As for what he will face today?

He doesn't know.

It may be a unlucky Yodel, or it may be a Freljord who accidentally passed here, a criminal sent from Noxus, a fierce beast, a prisoner of war, and even a Noxus soldier who wanted to challenge himself and prove his bravery.

Even talking about the general himself?

But he doesn't care who it is, because he will defeat the opponent as always, then survive and continue to wait for the opportunity to counterattack. He is waiting for the opportunity to kill the general who deprives himself of his freedom and regain his freedom.

The body that lacked exercise in the past has been tempered for a long time, and the appearance given by the peace era has long disappeared. The strong and powerful body is engraved with scars left by swords and teeth, as well as traces of strange magic. Even his closest friend in the past cannot connect this ferocious beast with the white-collar worker in the past when he sees him again.

And what made the white-collar workers look like in the past and survived from those hardships was naturally a magical force. But just when he was about to use this force to kill a mouse who wanted to steal his food, a sound of steel hitting suddenly sounded on his window.

"My dear immortal, why did you wake up so late today?"

That general.

The back of his hand was aching and his emotions began to boil, but Li Ke did not show it. Instead, he silently strangled the mouse to death, then took out a piece of clean from the pile of barbecue with his clean hands, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I know you're still angry. I asked you to use only one knife to fight the fully armed warrior Freljod, but who made you the one who was destined to surpass Veszero? You must know that his curtain call is a military formation of more than 100 people! You will face it sooner or later! This is glory! You can't do this!"

The door creaked open, and the general stepped into the barely clean cell, and looked at his most outstanding work with a fanatical look.

An evil ghost bound by chains.

Yes, except being locked in a cage, Li Ke was also bound with his hands and feet. He could not do anything else except being able to eat by himself. Even if he could kill powerful enemies in that arena, once he left the arena, these chains would tie him tightly, allowing him to easily be killed by these ordinary Noxus soldiers.

"Okay, it seems you're still angry."

The cold iron hand patted Li Ke on the naked shoulder, but Li Ke still ignored him and quietly replenished energy so that he could have plenty of energy to face the next battle. The general saw that he was still silent, but nodded even more happily. Because he felt that the real gladiators and warriors should be like this, being taciturn outside the battle, but being extremely flamboyant and crazy in the battle.

"It seems that your anger can only be released through combat... It seems that my preparation has not been in vain."

When the general said this, he grabbed Li Ke's hair and made him look straight into his eyes.
