Torn from the 21st century, an ordinary man is suddenly Emperor Constantine the Great, with Constantinople's grand dedication mere days away. Raw and reeling, he has to quickly master the savage game of Roman imperial politics just to keep breathing. His only edge? Knowledge from a future they can't fathom, knowledge he’ll need to sidestep deadly plots and begin shaping a "New Rome" that history was never meant to see.

While he wrestled with reforms that smashed against stubborn traditions, the Emperor's crown a constant, heavy burden, the world itself began to shift in ways no scholar could explain. A quiet magic was at work. He'd get the reports: coastlines inexplicably pushing further to sea, an unsettling trend of people living past their time, familiar charts turning into hopeful guesses as new lands emerged from nowhere. Now, this accidental emperor wasn't just fighting human ambition; he was contending with a reality actively remaking itself. He would have to forge a new destiny for this strange, transforming empire, and with every hard choice, discover the ruthless leader he was becoming.

His mind was a restless engine, absorbing data, identifying weaknesses, and formulating plans for the future governance of the Italian peninsula.
