Chapter 1 - Prologue – The Earth

The year was 2030.

Humanity crossed a line it was never meant to touch.

It began with a single man—a paleontologist driven not by curiosity, but by obsession. His goal was simple in theory, impossible in practice: to bring back what time had erased. Dinosaurs. Prehistoric mammals. Creatures that belonged to a world long buried beneath stone and ice.

Against all reason… he succeeded.

Species thought extinct for millions of years were reborn—each species came in pairs, male and female. Land, sea, sky, and ice-age predators returned to life. The past was no longer dead.

But resurrection was not enough.

He introduced a synthetic compound into their genetic structure—a catalyst designed to force evolution. To accelerate nature itself.

And that… was the true beginning of the end.

Because he was not alone.

Across the world, other paleontologists had reached the same breakthrough. Fossils unearthed in every continent became the foundation of competing experiments. The same ambition. The same arrogance.

The same fatal flaw.

Then came the failures.

Not isolated. Not contained.

A chain reaction of catastrophic explosions erupted across laboratories worldwide. Facilities collapsed. Containment systems failed. Fire consumed cities. The sky itself seemed to fracture under the weight of human error.

Global panic followed.

People screamed. Ran. Prayed.

Governments issued a single command: Evacuate.

Humanity's last hope lay beyond the atmosphere.

All humanity charged to the nearest space shuttles equipped with advanced stasis technology—Cryo Chambers, engineered to preserve human life indefinitely. But access came at a cost: only those vaccinated and processed in time could enter.

There was not enough space.

There were never enough chambers.

Seventy-five percent of humanity secured their place in the shuttles

The remaining twenty-five percent were left behind.

No appeals. No second chances.

The countdown began.

We were among those chosen.

Aboard a transport vessel, we ascended toward mankind's final sanctuary—a massive artificial world constructed in orbit. A planet reborn through science.

They called it Earth Two.

A second chance.

A controlled paradise.

A reset.

It exploded before we arrived.

No warning.

No explanation.

Just light—blinding and absolute.

The shockwave tore through the void, slamming into our ship. Systems failed instantly. Thrusters died. Navigation collapsed. One by one, the fleet lost control.

We fell.

Back to the world we tried to escape.

The impact was unforgiving.

Ships burned through the atmosphere, tearing apart before crashing into the surface. Explosions scattered debris across continents. Among the wreckage, the Cryo Chambers were ejected—flung across land, ocean, and wilderness.

Each chamber had only a fifty percent chance of survival.

Half of humanity reduced to probability.

But something else survived.

The enclosures.

Reinforced. Sealed. Unbreakable.

The prehistoric creatures endured the fall.

At first, the facilities remained intact—operating on emergency power. Lights flickered in empty corridors. Systems shut down one by one.

Then the enclosures failed.

Doors opened.

Locks disengaged.

And the past walked free.

They adapted.

They spread.

They reclaimed.

Years passed.

The remaining humans—those who never reached the stars—became prey. Carnivores dominated the land. Herbivores reshaped ecosystems. Oceans churned with ancient life once more.

Civilization collapsed.

Cities decayed.

Nature rewrote the world in its own image.

Time moved on.

2030 became history.

Centuries turned to silence.

By the year 7030…

The Cryo Chambers began to fail.

Power reserves depleted.

Systems died.

One by one, the last remnants of the old world began to awaken.

Not into the world they left behind…

But into something far older.

Far more dangerous.

A world reborn.

A world reset.

A world… returned to the Stone Age.
