PAX MORTIS
In the relentless shadow of Ancient Rome, a man awakens in chains with no memory of his past. Named Lucius Mordus by circumstance, he finds himself thrust into the brutal world of gladiatorial combat—a nameless slave with nothing but his wits and fighting instincts.
Unlike his fellow captives, who cling to hope or succumb to despair, Lucius faces his imprisonment with cold calculation. With no memories to constrain his morality or past attachments to weaken his resolve, he recognizes a fundamental truth: in this world where men are treated as property, power is the only currency that matters.
From the blood-soaked sands of provincial arenas to the marble halls where the Roman elite play their deadly political games, Pax Mortis chronicles Lucius' methodical rise in Roman society. With infinite patience and ruthless pragmatism, he transforms himself from expendable entertainment into an indispensable asset, leveraging every relationship, exploiting every opportunity, and eliminating every obstacle.
