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

In the middle of the night with the moon dancing against the grass on the outskirts of the Great Slavensen Nation's main city, Jenniva, Howard and Mernan stood across from each other on a large stone platform.

It had to be far enough away from the city that no one inside of Jenniva would accidentally get hurt by one of their attacks.

Howard was roughly equal in strength to someone in the SSS rank now that he had a breakthrough into the SS rank. Though he wasn't completely there yet, with his intent combined with his strong body, the force he gave off was more than palpable.

Lasinda, who wanted to watch the fight, sighed as she had no choice but to watch from the top of a distant mountain. She looked at Howard and her father once again laughing. Both of them seemed happy that they were about to spar with one another, and yet… She couldn't get over the feeling that something was wrong.
