The gladiator is a slave hero: unfortunately become a slave, A tragic slave life, a heroic death in the Colosseum, or death in power and jealousy.

Later, in fact, the concept of the protagonist has undergone very subtle changes. In the end, he used the power of life to stab the king to death and died with regret.

After all, in the trend of history, little people can do very little.
