Back in 1789 right after the world was in terrible shape due to recent war and crimes, everywhere around the world there was massive corruption. Which led to many slavery and bribery, in a small town of sweden there was a boy named Johan, he lived with his grandpa who was his only family left after the war.
Life of people in that small town were really bad, many people had lices, mentally ill people were everywhere and almost everyone there had to fight to get something to eat just to survive. i'm the midst of that Johan grew up in that place for 15 years and learned various of ways to kill and fight others, his survival instinct and reaction was very fierce due to his surroundings.
One day a soldier with a big luxurious hat came to the came with a horse, everybody's gaze was upon that soldier, soldiers disgust towards the people were obvious. then he read out "Due to brist of people king orders every town in this country to bring their 10 Lucky people to participate in the upcoming battle in the arena for a chance to become rich" he said it in a very loud voice which could be heard even from central of the town to Johans house.
