In the far future a young man awakens from cryonic sleep in what was once known as Area 51. The only other presence is an AI named Essence who warns of intruders. When he confronts them, he discovers that he has the ability to manipulate heat and fire... and accidentally kills them. When he leaves the base, he finds a new world in the ruins of what was once North America: the Neo-Roman Empire. The empire is filled with guilds, ranging from bakers guilds to security guilds. And the most baffling thing: fifteen percent of humans possess strange powers like his own. Inspired by "Radioactive", "Ready Aim Fire", "Monster", "Warriors", "Battle Cry", and "Who We Are".

After a massive world war, humanity has been sent back to the Dark Ages. While some recovery has been made (radio, some firearms and vehicles), radiation has affected the entire human population, giving many the ability to control the elements: fire, earth, water, air, light, and darkness. And what makes the money go 'round are gladiator fights, pitting these "Elemental Warriors" against one another. The winners are bathed in riches... the losers are killed in about forty-five percent of fights. Not exactly encouraging, is it? But that's the world these days. Inspired by "Glory & Gore".
