A Time Traveler's Mission to Change the Past, Rewriting History

Time travel was not only feasible in 2050, it had also developed into a successful enterprise. Customers might pay a hefty fee to go to any location in time or space thanks to businesses like Time Ventures, TimeTrav Inc., and Chrono World. Of course, such a journey was difficult because there was always a risk of altering the path of history. But, the rewards were incalculable for those who were prepared to take a chance. John Smith, a 35-year-old historian from New York City, was one such traveller. Since he was a young boy, John had been fascinated by history, and he had always imagined experiencing the big historical moments personally. He leaped at the chance when he learned about the ability to time travel, spending his entire life savings on a ticket to 44 BC Rome. On a bright March day, John landed in Rome and was astounded to see the Pantheon, Forum, and Colosseum. Even though he had studied Rome in depth in college, he had never expected it to be so genuine. With a toga, sandals, and a purse containing bread and cash, he attempted to fit in as he moved down the cobblestone streets. John was in Rome on a mission that had the potential to alter the path of human history forever. On the Ides of March, he had come to stop Julius Caesar from being assassinated. He was aware that Caesar's demise had sparked a civil war that had torn Rome asunder, and he thought that if Caesar had survived, he could have stopped the mayhem and put the Empire back in order. But, altering history was not a simple operation. John knew that even the smallest adjustment may have disastrous effects because he had spent months studying the circumstances behind Caesar's passing. He had to be careful not to mess up the timeline or change anything about the future. The first few days were spent by John watching Caesar, learning his routines and habits, and getting to know those around him. He became good friends with Cassius, a senator who disagreed with Caesar's leadership, and Brutus, one of Caesar's closest aides. John hoped that he could convince these two men to reconsider their decision because he knew they would be an important part of the assassination scheme. On the Ides of March, Caesar was set to go before the Senate, where he would be crowned and proclaimed king. John was aware of this. John understood that he had to move quickly because this was the ideal time for the conspirators to launch their attack. John got up early on the morning of the crucial day and went to the Senate building. He was aware that he couldn't completely thwart the assassination because doing so would have been dangerous. Instead, he intended to put off Caesar's arrival so that he would have more time to convince Brutus and Cassius to reconsider. John noticed Caesar's carriage pulling up to the Senate building. He quickly crept behind a nearby structure in an effort to remain undetected. He was aware that he needed to exercise caution because one slip-up may have catastrophic repercussions. John noticed that Caesar was wearing a purple robe as he exited the carriage, a symbol of his newly acquired authority. He could make out the murmurings of the audience, some of which were cheers and others of which were whispers of dread. If John wanted to stop the assassination, he realized he had to act quickly. He went up to Brutus and Cassius, who were talking about the scheme while standing side by side. He was aware that he needed to move slowly because any rapid movements might reveal his genuine intentions. He said, attempting to sound cool and assured, "Brutus, Cassius." "I have an urgent need to talk to you. It's "about Rome's future." With suspicious expressions on their faces, Brutus and Cassius turned to approach John. Identify yourself. Brutus made a demand. How did you learn about our plans, then? John inhaled deeply as he made an effort to calm his nerves. "John Smith is my name, and I'm from the distant future. I am aware of your preparations since I have witnessed what will transpire if Caesar is assassinated. Rome will be torn apart in the ensuing turmoil and devastation, resulting in years of agony and bloodshed." With a snort. "Why ought we to believe you, too? How can we be certain that you are not a spy for Caesar?" John tried to convey his good intentions by raising his hands. "I'm not an agent. I'm merely a historian trying to prevent Rome from suffering a dreadful end. You may assume that the only way to keep the Republic intact is to kill Caesar, but there may be another approach. a strategy for bringing peace to the Empire and unifying Rome." Brutus and Cassius looked at each other as they attentively considered John's statements. They were aware that their actions would determine Rome's future, and they knew they couldn't afford to make a mistake. Brutus spoke after what seemed like a lifetime. "Excellent, John Smith. We're interested in what you have to say. Yet, if we discover that you are lying or attempting to trick us, we won't think twice to murder you." John nodded, appreciative of the chance. If he wanted to change their opinions, he knew he had to act quickly. In his opening remarks, he laid forth his vision for a united Rome, one that would be governed by Caesar with the backing of the Senate and the populace. He described how the demise of the Empire and a civil war would result from the death of Caesar. Cassius and Brutus listened carefully, their expressions attentive. With his remarks having an impact, John could see that he was making progress. To persuade them that there was a better way, he knew he had to keep talking. He could hear a disturbance outside as he was speaking. He was aware that his speech needed to be completed soon because time was running short. His final request was for Brutus and Cassius to set aside their differences and cooperate for the benefit of Rome.

There was an abrupt loud banging at the door. John could hear the sounds of yelling and swords clattering. He was aware that the assassination was about to occur and that his mission had been a failure. He was shocked to see Brutus and Cassius turn to face him at that point. Very well, John Smith," replied Brutus. "We'll follow your advice. Caesar's life will be spared, and we will all fight to improve Rome's future." He experienced a wave of delight and comfort. Success had been achieved, history had been altered, and Julius Caesar had been saved. He was aware that there would be a long and arduous road ahead and that there would be many obstacles to overcome, but he was also aware that he had contributed. He could hear cheers and ovation as he stepped outside the Senate building. Rome's citizens were jubilant after learning that Caesar had been spared. Knowing that he had contributed in a modest but meaningful way to world history, John grinned to himself. He silently thanked the gods for his good fortune as he turned to face the sky and felt the sun's warmth on his f
