In the depths of betrayal and failure, a politician breathes his last—another dreamer whose ambitions were crushed beneath the wheels of a nation indifferent to his sacrifice. But death is not the end. Through the grace of a mysterious goddess, he is given what no mortal deserves: a second life. Reincarnated as a newborn in a world transformed by time and magic, he awakens to a country he no longer recognizes. The India he fought for in his previous life still exists—but it has been conquered. The Great Holy Albion Empire now rules with an iron grip, and magic flows through the blood of its people like water through veins. Yet the empire has forbidden its subjects from wielding this power, criminalizing the very essence of what makes them alive. To reshape his nation's destiny this time, he must first survive in a world where magic is both salvation and damnation. Where using your power means death. Where ambition itself is a crime. And where the line between savior and destroyer blurs with every choice he makes. He carries within him a divine fragment—a power that will shake the entire universe, but its awakening lies far in the future. As he grows, he will need to understand everything and seek answers to questions no one else can answer. Questions about his purpose. Questions about his power. Questions about his destiny. What is the fragment inside him? Why was he chosen? And as he grows and his power grows with him, will he become the savior his nation desperately needs, or will he become its greatest threat? This is a story about second chances. About ambition reborn. About a man who died as a dreamer and will rise as something far more dangerous: a revolutionary with the power to reshape empires. The question isn't whether he'll succeed. It's whether the world is ready for what he'll become. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction set in Historical India.

Alexander walked into the room, dressed in his royal white robe that shimmered faintly under the soft glow of the candlelight. His dark hair was slicked back neatly, revealing a face carved with precision and power — sharp jawline, high cheekbones, and lips that curved with quiet confidence. His midnight eyes, deep and commanding, scanned the room before landing on the figure sitting gracefully at the edge of the bed. Serena. Her emerald-green eyes locked with his, stealing his breath for a moment. The flickering light danced across her skin, giving her an ethereal glow. Her long ginger hair cascaded down her shoulders like streams of fire and sunlight combined, adorned with delicate golden hairpins that shimmered with every movement. She was dressed in a flowing white gown that mirrored his — simple yet enchanting, the fabric hugging her form in all the right places, making her seem like a divine vision come to life. For a brief moment, Alexander simply stared, unable to speak. Then, almost reverently, he crossed the room and knelt before her. His cold, powerful hands gently took hers — smaller, softer, trembling ever so slightly. “You look…” he paused, his voice low and rough, “…breathtaking.” Serena’s cheeks flushed a delicate shade of pink, her lips parting slightly as she met his gaze. “You always know what to say,” she whispered, her tone barely above a breath. He smiled faintly — that rare, almost forbidden smile that softened his usually stoic face. “Careful, Serena,” he murmured, his thumb tracing circles over her knuckles. “If you keep looking at me like that, you’ll make me lose myself.” Her eyes softened, the corner of her lips curving into a teasing smile. "Then lose yourself my king," she replied, her voice calm yet filled with unspoken desire. "lose yourself.... In me." Alexander didn't hesitate. He rose to his feet, his hands cupping her jaw as his thumb brushed against her lower lips. Their eyes met one more- predator and , darkness and light before he closed the distance between them. His lips crashed against hers, hungry and desperate, as if the world outside no longer mattered, Serena responded with equal passion, her hands tangling in his dark hair, pulling him closer until there was no space left between them.
