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

As Alexander made his promise, Lady Nanazin's heart skipped a beat as she heard that somber voice and met those calm, cool, dark eyes.

Long gone was the soft, playfulness that always hung in there, replaced with a stony, mirthless countenance, filled with determination and even a hint of cruelty.

If anyone was looking for a fight, Alexander would be more than happy to oblige.

And the sight made the woman a bit afraid, fearing trouble and its undue consequences.

But at the same time, she also felt much more reassured- the dangerous, intimidating aura placating her worried heart, 'With enough gifts to placate that bastard Ptolomy and adequate soldiers to prevent him from getting any idea…'

"Just don't do anything reckless." She then only whispered, clear, limpid eyes sweeping over the handsome face.
