-The Curator tells the story of how Obeseus was in a poor family and had to plow the land himself for them, growing strong and muscular. When the father made enough money with his work, he bought a bull to substitute him and sold him to [[Rome]].
+The curator recounts how Obeseus comes from a poor family and has to plow the land himself, growing strong and muscular. When his father earns enough money from Obeseus' work, he buys a bull to replace him and sells Obeseus to [[Rome]].
-He was sold as a fighter in the [[Colosseum]] and had to fight [[Wolfus Rein]] to the death, and when all seemed lost, he tackled Wolfus and plowed the arena floor with his face, winning the battle.

+Obeseus is sold as a fighter in the [[Colosseum]] and must battle [[Wolfus Rein]] to the death. When all seems lost, Obeseus tackles Wolfus and plows the arena floor with his face, winning the fight. [[Marjora]], the daughter of Obeseus' buyer, stops [[Gordus Antonius|her father]] from killing him after witnessing his victory.
-Obeseus and the other gladiators make a pact that whoever gets freed would free the rest, but when its find out that he impregnated Marjora, he was put in the beheading block, which freed him from the locks, and he was forced to marry Marjora.
+Obeseus and the other gladiators make a pact that whoever is freed will free the rest. However, when it is discovered that Obeseus has impregnated Marjora, he is sentenced to beheading. This ironically results in his manacles being removed, and he is forced to marry Marjora.
-Marjora's father offered Homer his friends as workers for his new management job, and Marjora offers him the knowledge of how he'd have to do the work instead of them, so he refuses to set them free like he promised. The job that was offered to him was a laundromat, which uses ammonia from urine to work, so his friends offered him the advice to put jars outside taverns to collect it.
+Marjora's father offers Obeseus' fellow gladiators as workers for his new management job. Marjora teaches him how to do the work himself instead of relying on them, but he refuses to free them as promised. The job offered is at a laundromat that uses ammonia from urine to function. His friends suggest placing jars outside taverns to collect it.
-With the idea, Obeseus and his family become rich and moved to new land, and his friends asked him once again to free them now that he was rich, but he refuses again. At the church, Obeseus and Marjora couldn't get front seats cause he wasn't senator so Marjora proposes him to become a senator himself.
+With the idea, Obeseus and his family become wealthy and move to new land. His friends again ask for freedom, but he refuses. At church, Obeseus and Marjora are denied front-row seats because he is not a senator. Marjora encourages him to become one.
-Obeseus asked audience to convince the emperor to make him senator, but fails, so the emperor's politically adopted son proposes him to kill the emperor so he can become one, and Obeseus a senator, so he does and over the next 10 years he become even more obese, avoiding freeing his friends and not spending life with his children, while Marjora wanted more, offering him to kill the emperor to become one himself.
+Obeseus seeks an audience to convince the emperor to appoint him senator but fails. The emperor's politically adopted son then proposes they assassinate the emperor, allowing Obeseus to become senator. Obeseus complies and, over the next ten years, grows even more obese, continues ignoring his friends, and distances himself from his children. Marjora urges him to become emperor.
-When Obeseus refuses, Marjora poisons the emperor's drink, getting him killed, and proposes their son, [[Bartigula]], as new emperor, nicknamed "Bartigula the Jerk", after his cruelty and when he eventually started losing Rome with his ways, he declared himself a God and sent Obeseus to be eaten by the lions.
+When Obeseus refuses, Marjora poisons the emperor's drink, killing him, and promotes their son, [[Bartigula]], as the new emperor. Nicknamed "Bartigula the Jerk" due to his cruelty, he begins to ruin Rome and declares himself a god. He orders Obeseus to be thrown to the lions.
-Obeseus took his friends with him as his "belongings" and they remembered him once again of the pact he never fulfilled. When [[Lisandra|his daughter]] came to save him and take him to liberty, he refused and challenged Bartigula, and after a quick fight they both succumbed, one to a fatal wound, the other to being strangled.
+Obeseus brings his friends as his "belongings", and they remind him of the pact he never honored. [[Lisandra|His daughter]] arrives to save him, but he refuses to flee and challenges Bartigula. After a brief fight, both die—one from a fatal wound, the other from strangulation.
-Marjora in the end saw his errors and poisoned herself to death, leaving Rome to burn into the ground, 400 years later. Back in the present, the family starts arguing over the story, while the gods notices how they missed the whole point of the story, and ask to change the channel, saying the show sucks now and it has gone off the rails since season 2016, but the father says that he wants to see how it will wrap up, sensing the show is going to end any day soon.
+Marjora ultimately realizes her mistakes and poisons herself. Rome collapses 400 years later.
