Empire Ascension: The Rise of the Fated One
This is the story of a modern man who transmigrates to 16th-century India in a parallel world after dying to save his first crush on a date. He regresses as a lowly-ranked soldier in the camp of Hemu, the last northern Hindu king, who is fated to lose and die at the hands of the Mughals. With his modern knowledge and past experiences, the protagonist alters the course of history, forcing the Mughals to surrender and retreat beyond the Ravi River, which is in modern-day Pakistan. As a reward, he is granted trading rights and becomes the emperor’s personal attendant. Using this opportunity, he sets out to reshape the empire. By promoting private enterprise, establishing trading company, and creating opportunities for the lower communities, he begins to shift India’s economy away from the feudal system toward modern capitalism. And all this began with the advent of his mercenary army, which excelled in firearms far ahead of its time. His journey is filled with trials, including internal turmoil, political strife, and the looming threat of invasion from the Mughals in the west, Tibet from the north and the Dutch and Portuguese in the south. As the emperor’s trusted aide, the protagonist not only rescues the crumbling empire but also forges his own path, eventually claiming the title of emperor himself. Join him on this incredible journey of empire's ascension, as he explores how India could have been in the 16th century if history had taken a different course. With just one battle's result, the fate of the entire world is transformed.

Second official reforms part-1 (Merger)
Purana Qila, Council chamber, afternoon of 11th April 1557.
The grand hall of the Council chamber buzzed with renewed energy as the Samrat convened his court to address a long-anticipated issue: the registration of companies and the rights to form private armies for mercenary services.
For a month, the empire had delayed this sensitive discussion, citing the absence of the imperial prince. But with his return to the capital, the matter had regained momentum, and the date for the critical session had finally arrived.
The grand hall was packed. Following the tradition of the previous Islamic rulers, who preferred standing over sitting to accommodate more attendees, the same custom was upheld. Ministers clad in royal silks, nobles adorned with gems, ambassadors from embassy, and wealthy merchants, many of whom were trying to increase their own influence, all had gathered here.
