Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

You are my pride, and my last regret.

'Son, take my weapons, inherit all of this, and live well.'

This is the last thing I can leave you.

...And in retrospect, in reality, the boy never accepted his father's dying wish.

He abandoned the honors and only wanted to return to an ordinary life.

Perhaps this isn't such a bad thing after all...

Finally, the boy revealed a very complicated look and said, "No one will make things difficult for Oris (the gold coin)."

I'll pass on any honors, but I'll accept all the money.

If you hadn't embezzled that money in the end...

That's it, you can go now. There's nothing here worth your attention anymore.

After saying that, the boy slammed the door shut.

With that loud bang... Night knew that a father had been abandoned by his child forever.

But that father continues to shine and protect his child in his own way, even after his death.

however--

The man cherished the honor he had earned for his family with all his life, only to have it discarded like trash.

Should all of this be buried forever in the annals of history?

Perhaps in the original history, Karl was unable to fulfill his last wish in the end, and the fact that he finally fulfilled his regret in this timeline is ultimately just a dream.

Night murmured, "...Lista, huh?"

I remember Carl saying something like, "Originally, this name seemed to be a title bestowed upon a hero by some god."

It signifies someone who has overcome the storm and loneliness.

Now that he was all alone, nothing could be more suitable for him.

'I will not let this name disappear...'

Ironically, for Rome in this era, his original name still seemed a bit odd here.

Then let 'Night' become the family name, the most prestigious title in the future Rome.

From this day forward, he is the night...

It's also Lista Night Magrus!

Translated, it means: A great being who has conquered storms and loneliness! If everyone has forgotten you, then let everyone follow me and remember you anew.

Years later, perhaps someone will think of this when they mention the full name of night...

Those 39 souls who roared and howled in the Ebro! Their voices, fighting for freedom and dignity, are enough...

Soon after, that night, he and Tiberius reunited at their new residence in Rome, an estate arranged from Tiberius's personal assets.

After driving away all the servants, leaving only Night and Tiberius.

After learning about the situation from Yena.

Tiberius: "...I understand. The Senate was also considering whether to grant you a noble title."

Their suggestion is for you to marry into an established noble family.

I know you don't like those hypocritical, decadent old guys.

Since that child has given up the glory of 'Lista,' he has also given up the danger that comes with bearing that name.

This might not necessarily be a bad thing...

Having lost his father and with no one to care for him, it was extremely dangerous for him to rashly step into the struggles of the Roman upper class.

"I can advocate at the next Senate meeting that you become the child's nominal godfather, so that you can smoothly inherit the name of Lista."

Tiberius Gracchus made this suggestion, though he also felt it wouldn't be a good option.

He knew that Ye was not after the honor of being a nobleman. With the other party's strength and achievements, he would rise to prominence sooner or later even without relying on anyone.

On the contrary, inheriting the name of Lista is not only about protecting Karl's children, but also about continuing a legacy of honor.

Night: "The Godfather...okay."

"Well then, let's not talk about my question anymore. Tell me about the preparations you've been making lately."

These past two days, Ye has allowed Gragu to use his family's resources to begin his operation...

He knew what the other party was planning to do, but he wasn't going to stop them.

Tiberius exclaimed in surprise, "You already know what I want to do?"

But when he thought about how Ye had always appeared calm and perceptive, he felt it was only natural.

Without any intention of hiding anything, or rather—as one of only two survivors of that harrowing adventure they had shared, Tiberius had complete trust in the night.

It's the kind of trust you can entrust your back to...

What he was about to do was extremely dangerous, so dangerous that everyone might betray him, and he could be in a state of utter ruin at any moment.

But Tiberius felt no fear—as he once said, there is something more terrible than death—that heroes are forgotten.

In order to prevent a similar incident from happening again, he was determined to completely change Rome.

What truly made Tiberius make this decision was not anyone else, but his brothers who had shared joys and sorrows on the Ebro River. It was the courage that Karl and his comrades gave him that night.

This adventure even made Tiberius more determined and radical; a fire was burning in his chest, ready to set Rome ablaze.

then--

He took a deep breath and suddenly said to Ye Yu, "I want to reform!! To completely reshape all of Rome's laws!"

To get straight to the point, the opening move was a game-changer.

After saying this, Tiberius was slightly taken aback when he saw that Ye was not surprised. What was with that expression on Ye's face, as if he had known he would do this all along?

A subtle feeling rose in Tiberius's heart.

But never mind... none of that matters anymore.

He needs Night's help, and to do that, he must persuade Night to participate in this momentous reform.

He knew how naive and dangerous what he was about to do was, and even emotionally he was unwilling to go crazy with Ye.

But rationally, he desperately needed a strong person to stand behind him as a shield.

then--

Taking a deep breath, Tiberius Gracchus, prepared to accept either rejection or acceptance, continued, "Do you remember the Third Punic War, Night?"

Night: "Of course. You mean that your bold idea of ​​reform started from that time?"

Tiberius nodded, and then everything slowly unfolded.

Chapter 82 Romanticism in Rome, The Man Who Should Have Been Beaten to Death

Tiberius: "This all started with the trigger for the Third Punic War."

As you know, Numidia has always been a friendly ally of Rome.

Because of the conflict between Carthage and Numidia, I followed Scipio Africanus to aid Numidia in the Third Punic War against Carthage.

Ye remained noncommittal: "..."

He did not refute this point.

If I remember correctly, Numidia invaded Carthage first, and Rome simply used this as an excuse to send troops to strike back when Carthage was in trouble.

But the victor is the righteous one, and arguing about the justification for the expedition is meaningless.

Every unjust war can also be a righteous war; the transformation often only requires a pretext.

Night: "And then..."

Tiberius: "We followed the army and besieged Carthage for three years, and finally captured the city of Carthage."

Scipio Ajatasatru uttered that remark right in front of me at that moment.

You've probably heard of the 'winner's myth' to some extent.

"Carthage, this powerful nation, has existed for over 700 years since its founding."

It was once so arrogant.

But now the country has been reduced to ruins.

Today, we see that Rome has been a nation for over 600 years.

But will Rome one day follow in Carthage's footsteps?

"Will it also turn into ruins?"

After the anxious prophecy was spoken in the voice of Scipio the Less.

Tiberius stated that his father (Gracius II) stood up for Scipio when he was suppressed by the Senate.

This decision to choose the right side led to Sibylla the Elder appreciating his father and giving his daughter to him, who was also Tiberius's mother. They eventually had two sons and one daughter.

Two of the men were the Gracchus brothers, and the woman married Scipio Ambrose the Younger.

Therefore, he and the famous Scipio Africanus were brothers-in-law. Because of their close relationship, he understood Scipio Africanus's wisdom and talent better than anyone else.

Gragu knew that the other party was definitely not exaggerating.

Moreover, the Gracchus family's reforms were a family tradition.

His father, the Great Gracchus, was not a useless man who could only rise to power through marriage; he had a significant influence on Tiberius's childhood.

Spain had also experienced rebellions in the past, and it was his father who personally led the slave legions to quell them and implemented a series of policies.

This brought about more than 40 years of peace for the Spanish tribes.

He then rose through the ranks to become a prosecutor, a judge, and a Roman consul.

During this process, the Great Gracchus enacted two laws, one of which prohibited a minority from monopolizing the right to construct public works.

Another option was to give slaves who had been granted free citizenship by their masters the opportunity to regain Roman citizenship. (By the requirement, those who were restored from slavery could only regain citizenship starting with their next generation.)
