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

Howard had no idea how much his overall power had grown in the last few weeks ever since he started putting his intent into his Ki Hearts to make them expand.

He knew that he was doing better against Yesran's Sword Domain, but that was only in his dreams. He wanted, more than anything, to test his abilities in the Furnace. He wanted to test his abilities against strong men like Harkel and Waxel.

'I'm sure with this new strength, even without the Emperor's Domain I would've been able to kill Armecolith. However, Harkel is in an entire league entirely. With Waxel here, I doubt this will be easy.' Howard thought while he summoned his Dark Ki and his Dream Ki. 'However, I'm confident I should at least be able to surprise them. You can do this Howard!'

"Howard, why don't you fight me first?' Waxel stepped in front of Harkel while he summoned his Ki around his body. "Don't hold back okay? Use the same amount of strength you used against Armecolith."
