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.

Alexander's main concern with this heavy rainfall was not necessarily the flooding of the city. If the water can rise, it can also fall.

Thus even if the roads and houses got water clogged, it would cause a bit of problem for the people, but eventually all this would subside on its own.

Hence what seemed truly dangerous to Alexander was the potential loss of his strategic grain reserves and other stocks in the warehouses during the time.

He did not want to wake up the next morning to suddenly find the water had smashed through all the warehouses and washed away all his hard earned grain and other finished export products. That would be bad on so many levels.

Hence he had close to 2,500 men deployed to solely protect those critical resources.

Alongside this concern, Alexander's main secondary worry was the sudden spread of unforeseen fires across the city.
