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.

Herald of Steel

Alexander was caught a bit off guard by how reluctant both Lady Nanazin and Lady Parthia appeared about his banking business. He did not think it would be such a contentious matter.

After all, lending excess money to creditors should be an age old idea.

So it came as quite an astonishment that the Adhanian Queen was not telling him not to dip his toes into this mess while the Tibian Queen thought this was morally extremely dubious and even politically damaging.

They tried to convince him otherwise by advising,

"Alexander, if you are short on cash, try to raise them through taxes. We always felt you already charged the people too little. If you are unwilling to do that, ask some of your retainers to help you with low interest. Or maybe even just consider postponing or canceling some of the deals with the Margraves. Those will all be much better options than this!"
