Jaden Cole was once a nobody in the brutal world of mixed martial arts—a stepping stone for rising stars, a fighter known more for his losses than his name. But everything changed the night he vanished for seven days. When he finally returned, he was… different. In the ring, his movements were sharp, primal—inhuman. His next fight ended with his opponent dead and his own mind shattered by memories that didn’t belong to this time. Because during those seven missing days, Jaden lived five years in another world—an ancient empire where warriors fought to the death in blood-soaked arenas for the amusement of kings. He had been a slave, a killer, a legend in chains. And when his final battle ended, the gods sent him back… to where it all began. Now, haunted by the screams of the fallen and trapped between two realities, Jaden seeks meaning in violence and peace in pain. Every fight drags him closer to the edge of madness—every punch, a reminder of the arena that forged him. But when shadows from that ancient world begin bleeding into the present, Jaden realizes his past wasn’t just a dream… and the gods who made him their champion aren’t done with him yet. In a world where strength is survival, one man must fight across time itself to discover who he truly is— a warrior, a monster, or something in between.
