I Traveled Back Four Million Years and Became an Ape-Man

The Story

A modern man awakens four million years in the past, trapped in a fragile, fur-covered body on a desolate prehistoric plain. A mysterious Civilization System tasks him with building a society that endures for a million years. Choosing intelligence and upright walking over physical upgrades, he survives through strategy rather than brute force. He forms alliances with Scout, an injured canine, and rescues Brock from a fallen tree. Tensions rise with Fang, a strength-driven leader, and Ivy, a healer who values evidence. The group masters fire, tools, and cooperation, yet every advancement triggers new threats. Hyenas, leopards, and a saber-toothed tiger hunt them relentlessly. A brutal cold front forces fifteen survivors toward a cliffside den. The System withholds rewards until the tribe can replicate his knowledge independently. To become Chief, he must abandon his role as the sole clever survivor and teach everyone to thrive without him. By the first day of civilization, his people possess fire, tools, and established rules.
