Howard awoke every morning with the taste of blood in his mouth. 

Every night before he went to sleep, the women sleeping next to him shot him to death so that he could reincarnate in the morning.

They did experiments on him, all because he had horns on the top of his head. 

Finally, after years of experiments, they tossed him into the abyss. A place worse than hell called the Furnace.

Down beneath the surface, the Furnace allows dreams to turn into reality, abilities to be amplified by a thousand fold, and for conquests to unfold. 

Howard, finally finding himself free in the Furnace, joins a team of reprobates from Hell's Academy, hoping to conquer the Furnace and build the ultimate kingdom in the darkest trenches of the world.

Hell's Academy

Carelon Mountain Pass, Midnight Chamber

At a round table, Howard sat across from Nellon. His entire body had been wrapped in white bandages and his black cape had been left neatly folded on the chair by his bedside. He had a large gash across his neck, and coughed every few minutes, but he was still alive.

He'd been snuck in by Founder Arista into the Mountain Pass, and been taken down a set of dark hidden tunnels to arrive at the small enclave. Founder Arista had an extremely precise control of Earth Ki, and designed the small room in a hurry. However, she'd had time to make small air ducts and create a few tables and beds made out of yellowish stone.
