Escaping "The Pit"- Jerilyn Wu

At this moment, slaves are suffering what will be another long day at “The Pit” – a mountain where the rock that they hit away at will become grand monuments in the prestige city, Rome. Interrupting the routine, a gladiator trainer arrives, intending to find new students for his Gladiator school. As the slaughtering of life is a popular sport and form of entertainment. Verus cannot stand “The Pit”, and at the sight of his luck, he instantly knows this is his way out. Verus had heard stories of great warriors who’d fought and were eventually freed. He’s determined to be one of those legends. But the trainer doesn’t notice him. Verus intends to show-off his strengths, and picks a fight with his unknown neighbor- Priscus. Verus’s plan works. Both Priscus and Verus are currently cramming themselves into the cart that will take them to their future – Rome.
