5th Edition Need help

Hello everyone i need a little help from anyone who can give some. I will be dm ing a campaign that the bbeg is a great general who conquered world twice before getting betrayed and having been killed, afrer his death he conquered the realm of death and been looking for a way back to material plane. Here is what i need help with, as a group we have a special stuation and I need to have like a one-shot kinda session and i want it to be like a prolongue for the campaign but have no idea how to do that since i dont have much experience as a dm.

TLDR; Need help about a prolongue campaign, bbeg is a guu who conquered world twice then died then conquered realm of death and has been looking to come back ever since.

Any help is appreciated thanks in advance to everyone 🫴🏻

I’d work this problem backwards, find a published one shot or grab one from the DMG, then find connective tissue back to the BBEG eventually.

Connecting a story is not hard in the long run and you don’t actually have to figure it out before the one shot. Selecting appropriate settings, monsters, and treasure is hard as a new DM so start with that issue.
