Volume 1 Eilor witnessed the end—how his companions fell one by one, corrupted, consumed by a terror impossible to face. Just before losing everything, he crossed a threshold: a space of light. A memory. A decision. Now he has awakened in the past, with all his memories, and a single conviction: to make sure history does not repeat itself.

In modern India, Vihaan Roy, a 28-year-old workaholic businessman running his family’s sprawling import-export empire, dies in a tragic car crash. Obsessed with Indian history and trade, he regrets burying himself in work, yearning for a life of joy. As he fades, he wishes for a second chance to truly live. Reborn in 1600 Surat as Jai Vora, son of a middle-class spice merchant, he awakens with the Emperor System, a mystical interface granting stats (Power, Stamina, Endurance, Health, Wisdom, Agility, Perception, Luck, Charm), starting with Wisdom=100 and Charm=1, and the Ability Detector to scan others’ stats and loyalty. Jai spends his early years savoring life’s pleasures—market games, street food, family warmth—in his bustling port city. But when the East India Company’s ship Hector docks in 1608, his past-life memories flare: these foreigners will plunder his homeland. At age 8, with Charm=7 and a knack for rallying allies, Jai vows to roast the EIC with wit, trade, and sabotage, building an empire to rival theirs. The Emperor System fuels his rise, offering quests (e.g., recruit followers with stats above 10), stat-stealing (with risky backlash), and loyalty perks (x2 learning at +10 loyalty, system benefits at +50). Normal folk have stats of 8-10, elites hit 20-25, prodigies boast 40-100, and nobles range 20-80, but Jai’s stats can soar un-constrained, marking him as a legend. From charming street kids to outsmarting Mughal nobles, Jai grows from a clever boy to a trade titan. He faces cutthroat rivals, EIC schemers, and rare prodigies (like a Power=80 warrior), using his Ability Detector to recruit or steal stats. Quirky moments—like “branding” spices or tossing modern slang into Mughal courts—clash with heartbreak, as betrayals and losses (family, loyal allies) test his resolve. By his 20s, Jai commands trade routes, influences emperors, and battles EIC fleets, his Charm and Wisdom turning foes into followers. Will he rewrite history, balancing joy and duty, or will the system’s temptations (stat-stealing’s cost) doom his dream? Reborn to Roast the East India Company with My Emperor System is a thrilling blend of historical intrigue, game-like progression, and swaggering defiance, as Jai Vora becomes the GOAT of India.
