The Towers were giants.
Massive buildings that connected Heaven and Earth—
The first appeared in India, a nation still healing from the Indo-Pak and Sino-Indian wars.
Struggling economically, bruised politically.
And yet, this was something different.
Something the world hadn't seen in seven years—since the first awakenings.
India realized the potential of the Tower immediately.
They invested one-fourth of their entire economy into dungeon and Tower research.
Even in poverty, they gambled on the future.
From that risk, Neo Science was born in 1973—
A new age of technology, fusing magic and machinery.
India, along with a few other nations, began developing machines from dungeon and Tower resources.

Neo Takshashila—the new city of knowledge—was formed.
Built in Karoli, Rajasthan, right beside the Tower that started it all.
It became the center of research, economy, and awakened military might.

In December 1973, the second Tower appeared.
This time, in Voronezh, 500 kilometers from Moscow.
For the Soviet Union, this should have been a golden opportunity.
A second chance to dominate the awakened era.
But fate had other plans.

Let us turn back…
2 January 1973
The day Bratva Zmey Gorynych suffered a heart attack.
Lying on his bed, sensing death, he sent a telegram to his son.
A short message—handwritten, shaking—but the words…
They were heavy with regret.

> "This may be the last time you hear from me, son.
I don't think I have much time left.
I've been poisoned…
By one of our own.
After me, they will come for you.
I know your ambition is far greater than mine ever was.
I always knew you were using me to grow stronger.
In truth, I was doing the same to you.
But listen, my son—
I wasn't there when you were born.
Not even when your mother died.
I wasn't there when you took your first steps,
or when you cried for someone to guide you.
I was afraid.
Afraid that if I saw you… I might start to love again.
When my empire started to crumble, I heard you had awakened.
An S-rank power—that's what they said.
And I saw you not as my son,
but as a weapon.
A tool to rebuild my greed.
But when I finally met you…
I knew.
You were the brightest diamond
in this diamond merchant's vault.
I dreamed, you know—
That one day we'd go to a lake,
Go fishing together.
Cook barbeque, drink like father and son.
But maybe… maybe I don't deserve that happiness.
I failed to earn the joy of being a father.
And now, I've left you alone—
Before giving you even a chance
to take your revenge on me.
These aren't the last words
of a mafia boss to his heir.
These are the final words
of your father… to his son."
Love you son
