Upon begining their journey to gain the favour of the gods and become the ultimate warrior, a warrior will awake in Olympus. The circular floor of Olympus has four staircases protruding out of it, each of the staircases lead to a different statue of a god. From left to right the gods are: Ares, Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon. The warrior gets the choice of which god to align to, to choose the deity, they must go up to one of the statues and accept to pledge their soul in order to gain power. Once the warrior has chosen, they will be made to battle a warrior belonging to a different god in order to test their might. If they win, they are allowed to continue on their quest to gain the favour of the gods by entering a small blue ring that teleports them back to Earth.
