Britannia, From February 441:

The Asgardians and the Olympians wanted a five-month ceasefire to recover their dead soldiers and bury them.

Alex accepted and told them to release the captured daughter of the queen of the dragons and even promised the Asgardian Envoy that he wouldn't harm them on their way back to Asgardian Caledonia.

Unfortunately for the Asgardians, Kahn knew that they hurt Alex's pride and none who did it walked away without consequences.

After the ceasefire took effect, Alex ordered the recovery of all the lost corpses of Roman soldiers while training the army that came with him moreover his wife sent him twenty thousand troops from the Eastern Legions alongside ten thousand Germanic vampire soldiers from the Hohenstaufen clan after swearing loyalty to the emperor and the new army called the army of Liberation was under the command of a Greek noble Michael Lasgaris and Theodore Hohenstaufen.

Alex called for a war council and called for Michael and Theodore to arrive at the city of Deva Victrix to discuss new plans.

On the twenty of February, the council met and asked Alex what he wanted to talk about.

"I am going to break the ceasefire, I can't allow the Asgardians and the Olympians time"

Kahn complained that this would provoke the Olympians to also send in their best units and even send in the Cyclops but Alex didn't care as he insisted on doing an offensive operation on Caledonia.

The Generals were forced to approve of the Emperor's plan and ordered to prepare their army to start their offensive the next month, The vampire commander suggested a Blitzkrieg and continued:" Alright, Mages can fly and this will create an air unit now alongside the dragons and in the ground our infantry and cavalry will no longer suffer nasty sieges as the cities will be erased from existence and only corpses and ashes left"

Alex smiled: "I like this new guy and his ideas".

After several days had passed since the meeting of the war council, the army was ready and well-trained for a new offensive.

Caledonia, March 441:

The Asgardians and their Olympian allies were honoring the agreement because Zeus had ordered them to not attack the Romans and had spent the entire month celebrating peace, even the divine soldiers and heroes sent by Olympus found out that the war was costly and truly desired peace and return to live their luxurious life with the gods.

Unfortunately, they were unaware of the Roman Emperor's attention because once the first of March arrived war would start again and they were unprepared.

Dragons and the undead targeted the city of Luthien alongside mages who kept bombing the city to Oblivion with their spells, successfully massacring half of its citizens while enslaving the other half and then taking the city.

After taking their first city, they chose their next target and that is the thriving city of Eden.

The Olympian commander Artemis suggested to Balder that they must meet him in battle and launch their counter-offensive, while on their way to meet Alex's forces, they noticed that all traces of mages and magic were Erased, and Olympus, Unknown time:

Zeus was so enraged that he started lashing out at everyone in front of him, he screamed at Artemis for fleeing the battlefield but she explained that he was going to kill her.

None knew what to do with him because it meant more escalation but Zeus ordered the Cyclops army to be deployed and help stop the collapse of Asgardian defenses and council members obeyed except Hades and Poseidon who opposed the idea stating that it would weaken Olympus and that this should not be treated as a game.

Britannia, April 441:

Using Theodore's strategy, the Roman army advanced taking city after city and defeating the Asgardian forces with ease forcing Prince Baldur to abandon Caledonia entirely and retreat to Asgard and they even sent a message saying that they would surrender Caledonia.

The entire Roman army celebrated and even Alex celebrated his victory and advanced to occupy the Highlands but the celebrations were cut short the moment Kahn screamed: "THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS COMING, CYCLOPS ARE COMING PREPARE FOR BATTLE"

This made Alex Livid because he didn't expect Zeus to send his most powerful asset and ordered his legions to prepare and he prepared his undead forces in a defensive formation while ordering his troops to wait for the enemy to charge.

The Cyclops and the Olympian soldiers under Artemis' command charged at the Roman army and became the target of intense Roman magic attacks using different elements, at the beginning there were some casualties but in the end, the clash between Roman soldiers and the Olympians started.

The clash was bloody as both sides tried to inflict as many losses as possible and the melee battle was violent but in the end, the Roman soldiers proved to be not much against the might of former heroes now soldiers of Olympus and the Cyclops and they were ordered to retreat to avoid heavy losses.

Artemis decided to pursue but Apollo stopped her: "We don't want to anger Poseidon and Hades now we have defended the Caledonian Highlands and saved it from destruction and that's a victory, as for the Asgardians I hope they survive cause the demons intend to launch a second round of their attacks."

only one that led to a place full of forest and trees.

Artemis laughed as she realized she walked right into an ambush:" I guess we are doomed but at least the losses won't be massive as it's just five thousand troops". The Olympian hunter goddess immediately ordered her troops to flee as the Roman armies descended from the hills of the forest and started a massive slaughter of Asgardian soldiers Roman infantry took zero losses due to mage support and all five thousand Asgardian troops were Annihilated.

The goddess traveled back to her homeland to report that the Roman Emperor had dared to break an agreement that he made with them and the Asgardians.

Roman Britannia, March 441:

Roman morals were devastated after the defeat in the battle for the Caledonian Highland, and to appease the exhausted soldiers Emperor Alexander proclaimed that there would be no more conquest campaigns then he returned to Rome alongside some of his troops while leaving other units to garrison the provinces of Roman Britannia while also bringing loot and captured Asgardian soldiers to make a triumph to distract himself from his defeat.

Rome, April 441:

The Senate voted to bestow the emperor with a single triumph and the date is April the tenth.

After several days of preparation, the triumph began as Emperor Alexander and both of his wives appeared on top of a horse-dragged chariot alongside the soldiers who participated in the campaign in Britannia.

The population was so happy and they started throwing flowers and cheering for him as the soldiers progressed and were also happy that the population greeted them.

The moment the triumph ended, both Samantha and her sons suddenly died the moment they entered the Imperial palace and Alex started crying hard and grieving the loss of his family.

Kahn hurried to see what was going on and the moment he saw his friend grieving his wife, he thought that the gods were vengeful and went to Olympus to get information.

Olympus:

After entering Olympus, Kahn breaks the palace portal disrupting a party held by Zeus screaming: "IS THE DEATH OF MY FRIEND'S WIFE YOUR FOUL PLAY?"

Zeus and Hades looked at the angry Kahn and the king of Gods said: "My student if I ever wanted to do revenge I could have killed him with ease but what happened was that he won a great test and that he will be rewarded by being reborn in a new world fit for his abilities and more challenging as he developed a habit of starting genocides and it needs to stop"

Kahn smiled and wanted to ask what would be the reward he would have but the gods refused to tell him that his friend needed him more alive then they forcefully sent him back to the Imperial palace.

Rome, June 441:

Despite grieving over the loss of his family, Alex focused on his duties as an emperor of Rome and kept issuing laws that aimed to ensure the Empire's prosperity in the long future.

Hades came and informed him that his wife was waiting for him in the underworld and praised you despite being neglectful.

"You came here to collect my soul" Alex spoke with sadness

"I will collect your soul but not now, you need to nominate a successor and issue some administrative laws and economic laws"

Alex immediately started writing his will and nominated Kahn as his successor.

"Just a heads up, the system you set up where every governor has the autonomy to rule their provinces will cause Kahn to suffer" Spoke Hades without care.

On the next day, Alex and Shahrazad started a funeral ceremony and after several hours they buried them and the emperor went to the senate to confirm the nomination.

before he left, Alex decided to start his speech that would be famous throughout his empire: "Dear Senators, some of you certainly hated me and think that I'm a tyrant and some of you might have liked me but now I nominate Kahn Anders as my official Heir, now once I die which is a probability, do not dare to mess around and work for the people as they are the source of your wealth and the source of the food that you Fat Fucks eat, oh and make sure to prevent the governors from being rebellious assholes in case they try something funny"

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

He then went to his private room and told Hades that he was ready to die now that he arranged the succession affair, the god of death immediately obeyed and collected his soul to the underworld.

Rome, July 441:

A month after Alex died, Kahn received reports of the consequences of his friend's endless wars and it stated that the empire's finances were completely drained and currency shortages started to happen in every province.

Some governors even reported that all gold mines were drained, due to mining all the gold that they had, furthermore, all provinces demanded the new emperor to repeal the ban on debasing the currency.

Kahn started swearing and calling his deceased friend an idiot and then he sent a letter to all provinces announcing the repeal of the decree that banned the debasement of the currency he even issued a new decree that added another kind of currency coin which is silver and Bronze to increase currency supplies.

He then ordered that Alex and Samantha be deified and remembered as one of the main founders of the great empire.

On the last day of July, a new diplomat came to the imperial palace demanding a meeting with the Emperor of Rome.

Kahn came and greeted him asking about the reason for his request to meet him, and accepted.

"Hello I am Vladimir Arkelaus from the Khazar Empire, now I believe you know of the relations between us" The diplomat was interrupted by Kahn who informed him that the so-called secret is public knowledge and suggested continuing the relationship and even declared the eternal alliance unaware that Athena is still planning to take down the Roman Empire by any means necessary.

Hades' Realm, unknown time:

When Alex finally came here, he immediately told Hades that Athena might be up for some schemes to destroy the empire but Hades informed him that he would deliver the message and that Alex should wait for his turn to be reborn alongside his wife into a new world.

Rome, July 441:

Hades interrupted Kahn's government meeting and requested a private meeting with Kahn.

Once the Roman Emperor left, Hades started informing him about everything and advising him not to attack Athena and Kahn obeyed.

Back to the government meeting, the ministers were discussing the road innovation project as the last emperor forgot to do it, and Kahn proposed that the whole infrastructure be developed leaving no place without roads and bridges, moreover, he encouraged a settlement program for Roman Caledonia and ordered to dig some mines in case they find gold or Mana Stones or Silver.

The Senate reported that due to too many wars, the empire was drained of its manpower and this pushed Kahn to start focusing on increasing the birth rates in the empire while ordering to send the Orcs to Mine for the needed minerals.

After several days, Kahn received a report that the mining operations had begun and so far the miners encountered no difficulty in collecting the gold, silver, and other minerals.

Kahn was so happy and sent letters to every miner throughout the empire to tell them to keep going and hope for a successful mining operation to end the shortage of currency. Moreover he sent envoys to Persia to start trading gold and silver and luxurious goods.

Shahrazad also tried to help the new emperor by handling the trade deals with her brother's kingdom and also handling some administrative tasks in the Eastern provinces checking the situation of each local government to report to the emperor about how the provinces were being ruled, and after spending two weeks in the eastern provinces, she found no corruption and all the governors were working hard for the sake of the Empire and keeping their job and their lives.

Rome, August 441:

Reports began to reach the Imperial Palace about the rise of a new empire called the Quatan Empire that began from its core lands in the southern frontiers of Roman Africa up to the western part of the dark continent.

Kahn wanted to initiate diplomacy with the new Empire and he sent a letter to invite their emperor for a dinner banquet to discuss diplomacy between their states.

After three weeks, the Quatan Emperor Zarar Abou Qarib arrived in Rome alone and without a bodyguard, and when Kahn asked why he didn't bring someone to protect him, he answered after he ate good pasta and meat served:" I have strong magic and is skilled enough to protect myself, besides I believe that you aren't to assassinate me using diplomacy as a reason"

Kahn smiled while drinking water: "Nah I wouldn't know what do you want to talk about?"

Zarar told him that the Berber people wanted to know about the former Roman Emperor who had a reputation for destroying his enemy's lands.

Kahn began to feel Nostalgic about his experience with his friend Alex and started to tell him about the era of Emperor Alexandros and how he saved the Roman Empire from division and expanded its borders and told him about the multiple conquests he had.

"Damn he is my idol, it is such a shame that I can't meet him because he died" Spoke Zarar with a sad tone and Kahn agreed with him.

Olympus, unknown time:

While waiting for his turn to reincarnate, Alex and his wife were goofing around as they kept touring the realms of different gods until Hades found them.

When Hades found them, he started giving them information"Now, let me inform you about the circumstances of your reincarnation, it would have been normal had you not connected Lucifer and the demon army to your soul to use them for your wars now once your turn arrives, you will have to go to a different divine realm and its called silver city"

Alex asked Hades for more information and the god of death continued: "Due to Lucifer and his demons being your servants, the silver city asked me to hand over Alex and Samantha to them to decide their reincarnation, and according to the letter I'm reading, the silver city will allow you to keep your ability Alex and as for Samantha they will give you the ability to do celestial magic which means the ability to manipulate everything, now go to his portal and I will probably never see you again". Said Hades while guiding them to a portal in front of them once they entered, they officially were separated from Olympus.

For the first time, Hades cried:" I'm going to miss these guys especially Alex" Even Athena who snuck into Hades' realm came and agreed with him saying: "It was fun to have indirect conflicts with him, i just hope that he curbs his last for destruction in his new life" he then chose someone to replace him and found Zarar to be the perfect successor

Rome, October 441:

The Quatan emperor had enjoyed himself for two months, and before leaving back to his realm he promised Kahn a large shipment of gold to be delivered to Rome and trade in the agricultural sector.

"What if your bureaucracy officials decide to usurp your thrones thinking that their emperor had abandoned his duty" Spoke Kahn with great worry

Zarar smiled and showed him an undead soldier:" It seems, that your deceased friend is not the only one with the ability to control the dead and I have my wife in charge of state administration" he then left Rome through a teleportation Panel inside the Palace to the province of Roman Africa and then back to his capital Sarana.

Kahn was so happy that he benefited from his meeting with his new friend and hoped for a long and peaceful relationship between Rome and the Quatan empire.

Silver City, some unknown time:

Once Alex and his wife entered the Silver City, they were greeted by Archangel Michael who welcomed them into a new world and continued: "Now we received information about your background from the divine realm of Olympus and I must say it's very impressive now I will explain what will happen, Alex, you will keep the abilities that you gained from your original world and since you brought with you my brother, you will be the new ruler of hell since Lucifer is sealed inside your soul the moment you died in your original world"

Alex wanted to ask about the new world he would reincarnate in but Michael didn't give him an explanation as he proceeded to Samantha as he gave her the ability to manipulate water, he then went back to Alex and said:"Now back to you, in the new world, your love for your destruction will be curtailed however you will experience a massive surge of power as i'm sure you felt it as you gained all of hell's ability now before you think you won't have fun, the new world is filled with criminals that honestly needs to pay a visit to hell and one last thing, you will replace the host of a teenager's body killed in a stabbing crime in London city center and is now in a coma"

Alex liked the idea of not being reborn as a baby and thanked the Archangel for this information; he was also informed that he was simply lucky because the family prayed for his survival.

Before leaving to the living world, Michael told Alex about his role as the king of Hell and that he is obliged to visit hell once a while. He then continued:"Also your role is to deliver justice but we don't prefer the moral and humane approach, go straight for the kill if a criminal tries to harm you or your sister Samantha that she also is in a coma due to the stabbing rampage and punish crimes committed against innocent people and of course avenge the ones that killed the original hosts of your new bodies"

Alex and Samantha accepted the orders and together they left to the new world expecting a new adventure and their expectations would be proven right later.

Earth, United Kingdom, June the 6th 2024:

Today two teenagers, a boy and a girl were stabbed in the London city center at night, and are now in the hospital in Yorkshire, after being transported from the crime scene. That's what police chief Masterson said to the media.

The moment the Rodgers couple heard the news, they immediately went to the Valley Health Hospital in Yorkshire and arrived at 1 pm requesting to see their son and daughter.

The nurse accepted their requests but the doctor blocked them saying it would be a miracle if they survived while being unaware of the fact that his patients were alive but with a different soul because the two bodies' original hosts died immediately after getting stabbed by the criminals.

After everyone left the hospital around 1:30 pm, the two kids woke up and started observing their surroundings then Samantha spoke while being happy: "Alex I guess the reincarnation is a success, I am excited about my adventure"

Alex was busy looking at the beds, walls, and his own hands and then turned toward his former wife: "I guess you are right, it seems the reincarnation is a success, however, it seems that the heavens here tend to be very stingy when it comes to information as they didn't inform us about the new world but I guess its what it makes discovery fun" he stopped speaking when he noticed that the doctors are now coming toward his room.

Heaven:

When Michael received the news that one of Alex's plans was targeting the organization that is after his family, he didn't complain at all as the gods of the old world do and he even got an order from god to help him clean the earth from these criminals.

The other Archangels and angels were supportive of the order and told Michael to go deliver the information that could help Alex take his revenge and the entire angelic council got excited that a massacre was about to start.

Earth, United Kingdom, June 7th 2024:

After spending the entire day in a hospital, Alexander Rodgers and his sister left for their home in London alongside their parents who were using the fake names of Elliot and Clarissa Clark because they were a part of an assassination organization called the Shadow.

At 1 pm, they arrived at the Gladstone mansion and then hugged their kids in front of the mansion and told them: "sorry my son and daughter, unfortunately, your parents must always be on the run from a powerful and nasty organization, the shadows are hunting for us and you will be safe and protected here"

Once the Rodger couple left, Michael appeared right behind the siblings:" Before anyone comes, I got something to tell you, the heaven wants the shadow organization and now you should do it and I believe you know how" and then left.

A woman came up and told them to enter the mansion, when they entered they were greeted by two couples who were childless.

The husband greeted them and told them that they were welcome in the house and that this home could be theirs, he even showed them his fire ability and told his wife to show hers and she displayed her water ability and then looked at the boys telling them to show their skills otherwise they are useless.

Samantha began to show her water ability and she was excited as she started to water the plants and was happy but came to the couple and told them to not see her brother's ability.

"Why? you sound like you're afraid of something" the husband spoke arrogantly.

Samantha was genuinely scared for everyone in the mention: "His abilities are deadly and dangerous" but the wife assured her that they take care of people like them and help them with their lives.

Alex looked at them: "I might need your help and if you need to know how useful I am to the organization you're a part of in this secret mansion, I will show them my abilities" he then raised his right hand while looking at the plants decorating the house, and all the plants died immediately and this made the husband but what terrified him is when Alex spoke in a demonic voice and in a language that he didn't understand: "come to your lord, armies of hell and former armies of Khazars" and then the skies darkened as hordes of dragons began to fly toward their lord and Lucifer appeared: "My lord, it seems I am back but now I recognize you as the new lord of hell as all the demon lords and armies that left the Khazars"

Alex accepted the recognition, sent everyone back to hell and ordered the flying demons to return to hell.
