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.

Aditya had never touched alcohol in his life, neither in his past timeline nor in his current era. As a martial artist striving to stay sharp, he believed in maintaining traditional roots and avoided any kind of sedatives, be it smoking or alcohol. Even after his reincarnation, he adhered strictly to his discipline.
But now, out of sheer anxiety, he found himself forced to drink. The liquid burned his throat with its bitter flavor, and a strong stench assaulted his nostrils, nearly causing him to vomit. The alcohol seemed homemade and unrefined, making the experience even more nauseating. Despite this, he persevered. His sacrifice to his disciplined routine paid off as Mathew, visibly impressed, helped him fix his dislocated shoulder and laughed heartily. "Good lad! Now you are a man."
