Synopsis

In the old free days, all you needed was a sharp sword and a straight path to your enemies. Overthrowing the old dynasty was easy enough, but you quickly learned that as a King, no path was straight, and your sword was useless. Now, an old enemy has sent you this abomination through a magical portal, and you face death. You feel alive once more.

The demon sparks in you a frenzied rage. You reverse your sword grip, clenching it tightly, and strike with all your might. Thrusting your sword like a dagger, you drive it deep into the horror, breaking it off at the hilt. The damage is done, and the loathsome creature convulses in agony. You are hurled away, and as you rise on one hand, you see the struggles of the demon cease. The thing disintegrates into a slimy mass, until it dissolves completely, leaving only an outline in blood on the floor.

You hear your blood sing in your ears, and you crave vengeance. Vengeance upon the dark sorcerer who sent this creature that killed your priestess, Lydia, into the very heart of your kingdom. It is time to take the fight to him. You are the Barbarian. You are the King. You are...
One King to Loot them All
