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.

Weapon Testing: Grapeshot vs Canistershot

Rewari kingdom, Canon factory , morning of 25th march 1557.

The open grounds of the cannon factory hummed with a flurry of activity. Workers scurried about, arranging dummies and carts, while others maneuvered additional carts, their contents concealed under white cloths.

Elite soldiers clad in chain mail armour, stood vigil around the perimeter, ensuring strict security as they monitored every movement.

A small team of workers grunted with effort, heaving a falconet cannon on its wheeled carriage toward the designated weapon testing area.

The cannon, with its slender, elongated barrel, seemed almost out of place against its modestly-sized iron wheels. The contrast between the cannon's imposing length and its small wheels gave it a unique, top-heavy appearance, emphasizing its formidable presence despite its compact form.
