In a remote corner of the world, hidden deep within an uncharted jungle, science and myth collided in ways no one could have imagined. Two shocking transformations stunned even the most skeptical minds: a woman slowly turning into a serpent, and a monkey evolving rapidly into a human-like being.
Dr. Liana Reyes, a herpetologist obsessed with ancient reptilian DNA, had been conducting secret experiments using CRISPR technology on herself. At first, it was harmless—scales appearing on her forearms, a heightened sensitivity to heat, sharper reflexes. But soon, her body began to elongate, her bones shifting, her voice vanishing into hisses. She wasn’t just changing—she was shedding her humanity.
At the same time, in a neighboring lab, a young capuchin monkey named Milo was part of a groundbreaking neural enhancement trial. Within weeks, he began to solve puzzles, understand language, and mimic human emotion. But the transformation didn’t stop there. His posture straightened, his vocal cords developed, and he began to speak—his first words, a haunting whisper: “Why am I here?”
Two beings—one descending into the primal, the other rising into the civilized—each crossing the evolutionary line from opposite ends. Were these miracles of science, or nature’s warning?
The world watched in awe… and fear.
