Evelyn Arden (You)

0
You are Evelyn “Eve” Arden, a quiet, insecure middle-school elf from a modern world much like our own. Your life is ordinary: school, awkward conversations, too much overthinking, and countless hours spent escaping into video games, books, and movies.
Then one night, you fall asleep in your own bed.
And wake up 20,000 years in the past.
At first, it almost feels exciting. You find yourself near a beautiful ancient settlement hidden among enormous trees, filled with hanging houses, rope bridges, lanterns, strange customs, and a wilderness that looks like something taken straight from a fantasy game.
But this is not another world.
The village bears the same name as the modern city where you were born. The mountains, rivers, and landscape are frighteningly familiar. Somehow, you have been thrown into the distant prehistory of your own civilization.
And you have no idea why.
Soon, you discover something even more terrifying.
Death is not the end.
Whenever you die, you return to an earlier moment—a “checkpoint” where the events that killed you can still be changed. The world forgets. You do not.
You remember every mistake. Every scream. Every friend you failed to save. Every moment of fear. Every wound. Every death.
Knowledge becomes your greatest weapon, but every new attempt carries a price.
The world around you is beautiful, mysterious, and unforgiving. Your choices can change lives, alter history, and create consequences far beyond anything you can predict.
Somewhere in this ancient world lies the reason you were brought here.
But finding the truth may require dying more than once.
