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. Collapse

    It seems like the guy lost 50% of the intellect he had when he started the Margrave Family's historical arc.or even more. He always trusts his army more than the promises of others and now the guy goes there and believes the word of a noble family that is also a merchant hahaha

      It’s just the way this author writes. He can’t give MC a break, he also can’t make things easy for MC. At this point I believe the whole point of this novel is how MC deals with unsolvable situations again and again, be it his own mistakes or unfortunate circumstances.
      I believe I’ve read a comment from the author somewhere about constant hardships in his novel: MC enjoys working hard and solving problems all the time. So this is just how the author thinks, for me personally this is too intense, I think everybody needs peace of mind from time to time.
      Also I f#cking hate how MC is always so afraid of everything and reacts so emotionally to problems. Here the author contradicts himself by making a problem solving MC and making him emotionally unstable/panic all the time.

          It’s not the issue of mortality probability, its the issue of attitude. Why bother writing a MC who constantly seeks trouble to solve them and at the same time make this MC a panicking goose. The dude shits his pants literally every 30 chapters out of fear only to stick his head into more trouble in the next 30 chapters…

          It reminds me of a tiny dog: it can’t stay put and always finds trouble only to start shivering and seeking protection of its owner out of fear.

    I created an epub for this novel which you can find on my telegram group on my profile page, that aside here's the review:


    This novel is engaging, fascinating and a fun read overall but has significant drawbacks, mainly its frequent inclusion of explicit chapters. Now I would have been fine with normal stuff, but these chapters explore fetishes rather than the standard content you might expect. The Author could've done better to either tone it down or simply offer a version where the R18 is stripped out.

    The plot itself is fascinating and is a stickler for the details, which I LOVE, it has many similarities to Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece (MHAG), though this novel presents a more advanced technological tree. In terms of historical accuracy, MHAG might be slightly better, because unlike MHAG which throws the MC into the past this novel uses a parallel universe with "similar" countries, this did kill the immersion for me a bit I am not going to lie. But this novel attempts a more direct representation of history, talking about things like child molestation, extreme deviancy, and theological differences in paganism etc. Although the author initially copies parts from MHAG, they eventually create a distinct narrative of their own. But again, the R18 was a killjoy, especially since I didn't really appreciate the kinks all that much.

      Good review. I do despise sexual deviancy such as what you stated.
      scenes involving orgies and the establishment of a brothel for a noble ally's daughter, among other things. wife sharing by nobles who offer their wives to the protagonist

      Damn repugnant.

      Other reviewers here who are frustrated with the MC sleeping with non-virgin women/ho*es

      I'm one of those.

      Thanks for the warning 15social

    Do not read this novel, the author has strange tastes where the women's past are prostitutes or have been with many men, two of his four wives are virgins and the other two were prostitutes, the story is set in a kingdom where nobles exchange their partners and have orgies..... The mc almost got engaged to the daughter of a ruler of a city, but he caught her having an orgy with her, her mother and the queen with nine other men...... mathematics Son!!!!!! three women nine men, but other than that I think there is no interest towards the mc, none of his wives after being in a relationship with the mc has been with another man

    Stop spreading misinformation! MC is not a cuckold: he has 3 legitimate wives and all of them were virgins before they met him! MC also has sex with a lot of different women, most of whom slept previously with other men, but all these women are not MC’s wives! He gives zero f#cks about other women he sleeps with, you can’t call such a person a cuck!
    Here’s a real life example: you go to a club or a party and get drunk there with a girl, you have casual sex eventually and forget each other the day after. This is normal practice and you can’t call such men cucks.
    Moreover there a countless prostitutes everywhere in the world, even in Muslim countries. And normal men continue using such services even though they know that such women had multiple partners before. So according to the imbecile logic of comments below the whole world is cucks, which is total bullshit.

    The more it goes on, the more it sucks, it seems that a group of imbeciles has agreed to give birth to this abortion of the world of novels.
    At first I liked the concept but as happens with most of the few novels of this genre (KINGDOM BUILDING) the author suddenly decides to screw it up😞
    And apparently this particular author was cheated on by his girlfriend but instead of getting angry like any of us would, he decided to stand by the door and jerk off in the meantime.
    It's really true that some people are really weird🤢🤮

    Cambyses's marriage event made me drop this shit, the whole event contains like 80% info dump, 10% random shit, 8% MC praising sluts, and 2% of MC and Cambyses interaction. To finish it off the honeymoon was written with "and they f#ck all night" shit.
