However, the protagonist is no seasoned warrior—he is timid, cautious, and completely out of place in this violent era. Through gradual technological advancements, military strategy learned through gaming, and deep respect for Sambhaji Maharaj, he must navigate the treacherous political landscape, using his modern understanding of economics, strategy, and guerilla warfare to support the Maratha Empire. Over the course of his journey, he uncovers the betrayal that led to Sambhaji's capture, faces the might of Aurangzeb’s empire, and helps Sambhaji reclaim his throne while planning for the long-term goal of creating Akhand Bharat—a unified India. Together, they plot for freedom, but can history be rewritten, or will the legacy of the lion be cut short once more?
