In a world where the course of history takes an unexpected turn, a modern engineer and historian finds himself reincarnated into the body of Tsar Alexander II of Russia. Having spent his life immersed in the study of Russian history, he is thrust into the role of emperor at a young age, a position he never sought or imagined. His life in the 21st century had been marked by scholarly pursuits and a deep understanding of engineering and historical events. But now, in an alternate timeline, the young Tsar must confront the realities of leadership in the Russian Empire, with the burden of making decisions that will shape the future of millions. As Alexander takes the throne much earlier than in the historical timeline—after the sudden death of Tsar Nicholas I—he struggles to comprehend the mysterious changes in history. What caused his father's untimely death in 1836? Why is he now the ruler of an empire that has only just begun to modernize? With his modern knowledge of history and engineering, Alexander faces the monumental challenge of navigating the treacherous waters of Russian politics, court intrigue, and the impending demands for reform. Haunted by the knowledge of the empire's eventual struggles, including the rise of revolutionary movements and the tensions that would later lead to war, Alexander must decide whether to follow the historical path of his predecessor or chart a new course. As he seeks to balance the empire's traditional structures with the need for modernization, he must also grapple with his own identity and purpose in this new world. Will the reincarnated Tsar be able to change the course of history, or is he destined to repeat the mistakes of the past? As he faces the daunting responsibility of ruling a vast empire, Alexander must confront not only the challenges of leadership but the deeper mystery of why he was brought back to this pivotal moment in time.

Most think that getting chucked into a game is all fun and games, well I’m here to tell you that it’s not. You’re no longer in your world, your life is at stake at every turn and your existence itself disrupts the story. And unfortunately for me, I ended up stumbling upon the mystery of a certain game creator's disappearance. And now I've found myself in that exact situation. Following his tracks, I hoped to uncover the reason for his disappearance, but I got more than I ever bargained for, and it’s going to be one hell of a ride. The only character I own is my OC, everything else belongs to their respective owners.
