In the midst of the chaos and destruction of modern warfare, Professor Cyrus, a historian deeply fascinated by ancient Persian history, suddenly closes his eyes to the world. But this is not an end; it is a new beginning. He is reincarnated into the body of an infant named "Cyrus" in ancient times, precisely at the dawn of the Achaemenid Empire. With a mind full of 21st-century knowledge and a photographic memory that keeps all his learnings alive, this new Cyrus finds an unparalleled opportunity to change his own destiny and that of the ancient nation of Iran. Can a modern mind not only survive in an ancient world but also, like his historical predecessor, build an empire that will be unparalleled throughout history?

This epic novel is a journey into the depths of an alternate history, where Cyrus, using his unique genius, undertakes unprecedented innovations. From inventing a new Persian language and script, and producing paper and soap in his childhood, to implementing revolutionary army reforms inspired by Sun Tzu, Roman military principles, and modern military science. He rebuilds governmental and judicial systems based on human rights and wisdom, fosters theoretical and experimental sciences, and constructs infrastructures beyond the imagination of that era. His goal is not merely conquest, but to build a civilization founded on justice, tolerance, and progress, so that the Achaemenid Empire may endure for thousands of years and remain safe from historical collapses caused by Alexander the Great.

"My Persian Empire" is a narrative of the endeavour to create an ancient utopia, where extreme nationalism gives way to mutual understanding and coexistence, and great civilizations of the world, from Rome to Greece, and from India to China, imitate the advancements of Persia. This eventful story takes you into the heart of strategic battles, court intrigues, and scientific and cultural transformations, showing how a leader with a modern vision can not only rewrite history but also leave an everlasting legacy for humanity.

Author's Note:

Hello dear companions!

It is with great pride that I present to you my first novel, "My Persian Empire." This work is the result of my years of fascination with web novels in the Kingdom Building genre and the glorious history of Iran. In creating this novel, I have utilized the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) – particularly models like Gemini 2.5 Flash or Grok 3 – to craft a rich and precise story. However, I emphasize that every idea and every narrative thread has been under my complete and direct management and supervision. AI has been a powerful tool in my hands to turn my dream into reality, but the spirit, thought, and human creativity of this work are entirely my own. I understand that as a novice writer, there may be imperfections in my work, but I have created it with all my heart for you, and I hope you enjoy this historical-fictional journey. Your support and feedback will be my greatest motivation to continue on this path and create subsequent volumes. Thank you very much for your companionship.

My Persian Empire

Concurrently with the progress in compiling the Comprehensive Dictionary of New Persian, young Cyrus's mind turned to another pillar in the edifice of his invented language: the compilation of its rules and grammar. He knew that a language, no matter how rich in vocabulary, could not become a powerful tool for communication and education without a clear and logical grammar. Therefore, he began work on the "Guide to New Persian Writing"; a work destined to bring order to words.

The process of compiling the grammar required a deeper level of thought than the Avesta Nama Achaemenid. Cyrus, leveraging his extensive knowledge of modern linguistics, sought fundamental and universal principles instead of adhering to the complex and irregular rules of ancient languages. He pondered the formation of sentences, the relationships between words, and the phonetic changes that altered meaning. His goal was to structure a language that would be both fluent for speaking and efficient for writing.

In his paper workshop, he spent hours contemplating sentence structures, verbs, nouns, and pronouns. How could tenses be expressed in the simplest possible way? How could the relationships between words be shown with minimal signs? Cyrus wanted the Guide to New Persian Writing to be a book that would eliminate linguistic complexities and transform learning into an intuitive experience, not an endless struggle with rules.

Through his trusted nurses and young scribes, he examined examples of Sumerian and Akkadian grammatical rules, comparing their complexity with his desired simplicity. This comparison strengthened his resolve to create a flawless system. Every rule formulated was based on logic and simplicity so that it would quickly be grasped and easily applied.

The advantages of a simple grammar were entirely clear to Cyrus. A logical grammar would significantly increase the speed of learning the new language and make it possible to teach it to broader masses of people. This would not only contribute to the spread of literacy but also drastically increase administrative efficiency. Messages would be conveyed more clearly, documents would be written more precisely, and communications between different regions of the future empire would flow more smoothly.

With each page of the Guide to New Persian Writing that was completed, Cyrus saw how the invisible pillars of order and efficiency were taking shape in his envisioned empire. This book was a powerful tool that would empower ordinary people to understand and express themselves, and provide administrators with the necessary tools for effective governance. This was the cornerstone of an advanced administrative system that would prevent chaos and misunderstanding.

Alongside this monumental task, Cyrus also considered the relationship of this book with the Comprehensive Dictionary of New Persian. These two books were complementary; one provided the vocabulary, and the other, the rules for using them. With these two works in hand, anyone could master a new language and enter the world of knowledge. This was the beginning of a path to create a literate and informed society built on the foundations of wisdom and logic.
