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

1000 Monster Valley existed in one of the corners of the Furnace.

It was a place with 1000 mountain peaks and 1000 Valleys that ebbed and flowed like a rising and falling sea as Howard looked into the distance. It was called 1000 Monster Valley because of these peaks and valleys. It had been said one of the most powerful, original Authoritarians had turned the land from a flat landscape to the current strange region with a 1000 footsteps.

He had taken 1000 steps and afterwards disappeared from existence only to return when someone that could truly challenge him had arrived.

However, what surprised Howard the most when he arrived at 1000 Monster Valley was the small outposts he saw on the side of the mountain. He'd almost forgotten that Authoritarians gain a human form after entering the A rank.
