Chapter 1 Rebirth
In 78 BC, the Roman Dictator Sulla died, and the Roman Republic entered the Post-Sulla Era.
In 76 BC, the Roman Senate decided to dispatch the twenty-nine-year-old Pompey to lead an army to the Spain Province to suppress Sedulius's rebel army. This was the first time in Roman Republic's military history, after Scipio, that a Roman became a Commander before the age of thirty-nine.
In the same year, the twenty-four-year-old Caesar went to Rhodes Island to study but was kidnapped by pirates on the way. He voluntarily paid a ransom of fifty talents. Once safely ashore, he immediately recruited men, trained an army, and made a surprise attack on the pirates who had landed, successfully capturing them all and reclaiming his money.
Also that year, the thirty-seven-year-old Crassus earned a large amount of money in Rome through loans and real estate, but also tarnished his reputation in the process. Unwilling to see the younger Pompey shine so brightly, he began to make moves, preparing to run for the Legal Officer of the Roman Senate in the following year.

Xu Tianyu deeply regretted agreeing to a meal invitation from his high school classmates. As a result of drinking quite a bit during the meal, his high school classmate got into a conflict with the guests at the next table. While trying to mediate, he was accidentally pushed and hit the back of his head on the table corner, immediately losing consciousness.
As he lost consciousness, a thought flashed through his mind: Too bad I haven't even played the old game "Total War: Rome 2" that I just bought!
...
No one knew how much time had passed, but the noisy sounds awakened his consciousness: "Cross, you hit too hard, Maximus was killed by you!" someone exclaimed.
