Present Day:
You find yourself engrossed in reading about Alexander the Great, one of the greatest emperors in human history. As you delve into the accounts of his battles, military genius, and the vast extent of his empire, your imagination runs wild. Contemplating the potential greatness that could have been achieved had he not met an untimely demise at the age of 32, you retire for the night, your mind filled with wonder.
With these thoughts lingering, you drift off to sleep. Suddenly, you are jolted awake in the middle of the night, gasping for breath and clutching your chest as a sharp pain pierces through you—a heart attack.
June 323 BC, Babylon:
As you open your eyes, you find yourself lying on a bed in a dimly lit chamber. Confusion washes over you as you take in your unfamiliar surroundings. Ministers and followers of Alexander, their faces etched with concern, stand gathered around you. Alexander's wives, their eyes brimming with hope, watch your every move.
Gradually, the realization dawns upon you—you have somehow been transported back in time to the historical moment when Alexander the Great drew his last breath. You have become Alexander himself, reborn in his body.
A surge of emotions cascades through the room as the ministers and followers, believing their beloved emperor has miraculously returned, burst into jubilant exclamations. "Our emperor lives! He has returned! Long live the emperor!"
Taking a moment to absorb the gravity of the situation, you collect your thoughts and consider your next course of action.
