My Persian Empire
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) β particularly models like Gemini 2.5 Flash or Grok 3 β 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.
