Waking up inside the ruins of an orphanage, Alexander finds himself chained and sold to slavery.
A modern metallurgist, trapped in ancient times, watch as he tries to play with the cards fate dealt him.
He will make plate armor, invent paper, build roads, teach governance and many more, as he tries to carve a place for himself.
But how can such things not attract jealous eyes?
The naval superpower- Cantagena,
The unstoppable army of- Exolas, 
The superpower of the east- Adhania,
The mercantile confederation- Sybarsis, 
The religious fanatics- Iyizarid, 
And the ever-present- Barbarians of the Barren Forrest,
All want something from each other.
In this ocean of sharks, follow a small carp as it struggles to leap through the dragon gate and establish a dynasty to outlast them all.

Hearing Alexander's not-at-all-concerned answer, the Queen Mother understood that convincing Alexander to apply his expertise to develop Adhan would be a fool's errand.


Which she found to be a shame, as seeing how much he was able to transform the barren lands of Zanzan, she could only wonder how much he would be able to do to a resource and population-rich region like Adhan.


But since Alexander had very clearly said he was not interested, Seelima did not push him further.  


You could lead a horse to water, but you could not make it drink it.


While Alexander made his thinking even clearer to the Queen Mother, saying, "To be honest, I do not mind if Pasha Farzah takes control of the court."


"In fact, as long as he keeps Ptolomy on the throne, I think that will be better for us."


"Because he is very unlikely to muck it up as Ptolomy could."


Alexander hid nothing of his preference on who he wanted to see running things.
