Each time the Protagonist reaches a new rank, they will have to face Gulielmus. There are several ranks, Quartus Palus, Tertius Palus, Secundus Palus, & Primus Palus. The Protagonist begins at the lowest rank,but as the Protagonist plays through the game, they will advance their gladiator rank. In order to acquire freedom, the Protagonist must earn back their purchase price by fighting through gladiator games. After getting acquainted with the basics of combat in the arena with one of Magerius's trainers, the Protagonist begins their gladiator journey.
The game begins with the Protagonist entering the Ludus Magerius as the newly acquired slave of its owner Magerius. Choosing any of these regions earns the player a starting game Prefix which carries over to other playthroughs, but is only active if the character is actually from the region the Prefix suggests. The player can choose to be from several areas: Greece, Galia, Hispania, Dacia, Thracia, Germania, Numidia, Parthia and Rome.
