You'll explore a unique world with intriguing ideas and creatures that spark curiosity.

Synopsis

Leo is the average, confused teenager who’s lost in a world that he doesn’t understand. His past is a distant memory of a faded dream, and his future is anything but certain. After waking in a prison made of ice, he’s kidnapped and thrown into the strange, timeless city of Parcel. Nera worked hard to bring honor and recognition to her family’s ludus. Some of Parcel’s most fierce gladiators can be found training under her roof. She demands complete obedience from her slaves, and her eccentric nature yields only to her insatiable desire for anything, or anyone, who defies the norm. When she sees a frail young boy with abnormally blue eyes being sold in the Forum, she cannot resist. Years passed, and Leo had finally started to fit in when a horrific accident in his master’s gravity bay changed everything. Not even the strongest of fighters, ones who’d trained at the highest levels, could’ve survived it, but somehow he did. Now he must face a whole new set of dangers, and only time will tell if he’s strong enough to survive.
