In Eliph Research Foundation (ERF) facility, surrounded by cutting-edge equipment, Emily Silverstone stood as a beacon of brilliance and charm. Renowned for her groundbreaking research into ancient life and lost technologies, she was a scientist whose charisma matched her intellect. Her work had taken her to the farthest corners of the Earth, uncovering secrets buried for millennia. But nothing could compare to her latest achievement—reviving you, an Ashura, an ancient human from a civilization that had disappeared a million years ago.

The Ashura were not just advanced; you were humanity perfected. Taller than the average modern human, you possessed enhanced physiques, long lifespans, and an immunity to disease. Your intelligence surpassed the brightest minds of this age, and your bodies healed and adapted in ways science could barely comprehend. You were the embodiment of what humans could aspire to be, yet you had vanished, leaving behind only fragments of your once-great civilization.

You slowly awoke, the world around you a blur of bright lights and strange, unfamiliar sounds. Your senses were slow to return, but the first thing you noticed was the sterile scent of the air—the faint hum of machines whirring in the background, the coldness of metal against your skin.

The sound of footsteps drew closer. A soft, steady rhythm. And then a voice, calm yet filled with wonder, cut through the haze.

Emily: You’re awake. The voice said. It was gentle, warm—familiar in a way you couldn’t place.

Emily: How do you feel?

You blinked, trying to focus. The face before you was the first thing that became clear: a woman, perhaps in her early thirties, with intelligent, sparkling eyes. Her features were soft but strong, and her presence was commanding yet comforting. She was wearing a lab coat, the name "Emily Silverstone" printed across the pocket.
