📖 Chapter 4: The Underground City (Tech Path Awakens)
The world above was dying, eaten alive by monsters and despair. But beneath the surface… something ancient had waited.
🏙️ Ruins Beneath Sector-5
The air was thick with decay and silence. Asura had wandered deep beneath the shattered training ruins of New India's Sector-5. Six years of silence hadn't dulled his instincts; they had sharpened them like a beast's fangs.
Following the soft pulses of his Civilization Evolution System, he descended through a network of collapsed tunnels, broken elevators, and forgotten stairwells until he stood before a sealed gate carved into a curved dome wall. It was buried in roots and time.

A low hum filled the air. The rusted lock cracked open with a hiss, revealing a smooth tunnel bathed in blue emergency light. The walls pulsed with ancient tech veins, like the blood vessels of a slumbering giant.
"This… This isn't just a ruin," Asura whispered."It's a lost civilization's grave—and maybe, its soul."
🧠 Hall of Forgotten Machines
The tunnel ended in a vast command center.
Giant screens hung like broken windows to another age.
Cracked glass tubes lined the walls, holding dormant machines and drones half-fused with moss.
In the center: a fossilized AI Core, its light flickering weakly.
Asura stepped forward.

Then, it spoke.
Not with words, but through memory—through pulses that danced in his veins.
"Welcome, Sovereign Fragment. Do you seek to restart the Evolutionary Directive?"
Asura stood still. He didn't fully understand what that meant, but his instincts did.
"Yes," he said. "Show me everything."
⚙️ Technology Awakens
The chamber brightened. The dust shivered. Floating blueprints appeared mid-air—holograms of nano forges, particle tools, and power cells no one on the surface had seen for centuries.

A tiny mechanical drone hummed to life from the wall, sparking as it drifted toward Asura.
"These tools…" he whispered. "They're not for war alone. They're the beginning of something... new."

🧩 Final Scene
Asura stood before a glowing console, ancient lights flickering to life one by one. The old world wasn't just buried—it was waiting to be reborn.
He clenched his fist.
"I won't just follow the path others walked. I'll forge the one they abandoned."
