Is this it? Am I really going to die today? This was Gray's thought when he was being swallowed up by what seems like a black ball.
Gray Agarwal a 23 years old young scientist of the twenty-second century was working in a state of the art
research facility which was researching with Exotic Matter.
When there was an accident which created a Wormhole for a few hundred milliseconds
which swallowed up all nearby objects, Gray caught off-guard also swallowed by it because he was the closest person to it.
After an unknown amount of time Gray open his eyes, after slowly seating up when he looked around he found himself with a few broken research equipment in the middle of tall trees which looks like inside a deep jungle,
what happened, How am I still alive? Still confused that how he ends up in a jungle after a deadly accident.
The last thing I remember I was being swallowed by a black hole, suddenly a thought ran through his mind and he was shocked and thrilled. Don't tell me our research was a success and we opened a wormhole and I somehow teleported somewhere else via that. But suddenly all his excitement died when looked around properly because he didn't recognize any of these extremely tall trees and that red sun in the sky.
What is this am I dreaming or something, AI chip what is this place "Beep no GPS signal unable to determine location"
Ai Chip is the biggest invention of the twenty-second century. It is transplanted in your brain.
It is like a supercomputer always running inside your brain. Its main functions are data storage and analysis.
It would analyze data on the command of its host, gathering data samples and running simulations to make deductions.
It also has other functions like adding new data to the brain directly, Scanning nearby things, and many more...
Gray was dumbfounded after hearing that, No signal means he is no longer on Earth or even near the solar system.
Because In the twenty-second-century things like signal loss, power loss never happens.
After coming down a bit when he thought about it all the trees around him are unknown and the sun is also reddish,
haha, don't tell me I transported to another world like those old fantasy novels I heard online. Although he was a little bit scared but was more excited.
Although it may seem like a successful very young scientist with money, living a very happy life and will be very reluctant to leave his life behind but in reality, his life was very hard. When he was 8 years old his parents died in an accident after that he was living with his uncle and aunt although they weren't bad to him but they had their own child and he felt like he didn't belong there one of the reason was that his cousin always bullied him because he was very good at the study so his aunt always compared their grades and reprimanded him and if he told his uncle about his cousin they just reprimanded him with light words. So he worked very hard in his studies so that he can leave this place as soon as possible. Also maybe because of all these reasons he developed a cold personality and because of this, he had almost no social life.
Also as a scientist, the concept of a new world was very exciting for him. But after calming down when he thought about this whole situation he was baffled is there really such a coincidence? where the other side of that wormhole was in this world not in deep space or a planet with no air? Is my luck that good or something or someone influenced that accident? He suddenly felt a chill down his spine what can influence a space channel between two worlds.
Well, whatever the case that is there is no point thinking about it now. I have to collect information about this world and have to find out if it is possible to go back to the earth, although I don't like the idea of going back but it is very dangerous for me here who knows even if there are any intelligent lifeforms in this planet if there is I think they will like it very much to research on me and if there are none then also I have to live here like a caveman.
also most importantly I have to survive until I find more information about this world without food or a safe place to sleep.
AI chip scans the surrounding area and environment and see if there is anything dangerous.
"Beep Scanning There are no known dangerous lifeforms in surrounding 500 meters."
"Beep Warning Warning there is an unknown type of radiation found in the environment"
What radiation?
AI chip what kind of effect it has on me?
"Beep Warning Warning Host's cells are absorbing the radiation, Increased cells activity detected,"
"Beep Unknown element slowly improving Host's cell structure, "
"Beep after simulation it is found that long term exposure to this radiation can increase the host's life expectancy"
What Improving my life expectancy? Is there really that kind of miracle healthy radiation exists.
well if there are no bad effects I will think about later, right now I have to find food and water.according to the AI chip, I was unconscious for more than 6 hours. I am feeling a little hungry. After looking around he found few useful items from those broken research tools like a glass piece that can be used to light a fire and a piece of metal that looks like a small knife then After choosing a direction where trees look less dense Gray starts walking toward that direction. After about 30 minutes AI chip Informed him that there is a river ahead but he stops walking because the AI chip also told him that there few small lifeforms and one very dangerous life form is near the river.
AI chip How powerful is that life form? use a normal human as the scale.
"Beep Using Normal human as standard Name: Unknown Strength:4.2 Agility:2.0 Vitality:5.0"
A 3D hologram appeared before Gray's Eyes. It looks like a wild boar but twice the size.
AI chip Show my Stats-
"Beep Name: Gray Agarwal Strength:1.1 Agility:0.9 Vitality:1.05"
Looks like my regular excise paid off at list above average stats. But still, I can't hunt that animal without any weapons like a ray gun or hunting rifle. after avoiding that area he finally reaches the river and scans the surrounding 500 meters with help of the AI chip. After seeing that there is no dangerous creature nearby he drank some water and just as he was about to look for a small animal to hunt a warning from Ai chip.
"Beep Warning Unknown bacteria entered host body"
Damn it, I forgot about these tiny killers. AI chip can Panacea kill these bacteria from another world?
"Beep simulation complete. There is a 99% chance Panacea can kill these bacteria"
(Panacea is a miracle vaccine of the twenty-second century for all illness that caused by the microorganism)
After hearing that gray heaved a sigh of relief. It will be very laughable if I died because of common bacteria after coming to a new world.
It looks like biology is also similar to Earth in this world. Then it is very likely there are also human or human-like creature in this world, when he was thinking about all these he suddenly heard a rustling sound not far from him. When he looked there he found a Rabbit like animal was cautiously approaching the river. Looking at this Gray ordered the AI chip to scan the rabbit.
"Beep Name: Unknown Strength:0.4 Agility:1.5 Vitality:0.5
Looking at this Gray was a little surprised because this little guy has half of his vitality and also 1.5 times his speed that is almost like a hunting Dog. I can't catch it without setting up a trap. Thinking this he set up a small trap on the way to the river with the help of the AI chip.
After waiting for about an hour another small rabbit came and triggered the trap but surprisingly it was still very much alive after a stick went through its belly and it finally died after running about 200 meters.
After catching it Gary started to Cook it over a fire which he started with that piece of glass and sunlight.
Although Gray never hunted or gutted animals before but with help of the AI chip's instruction it wasn't very hard for him. After eating half of the rabbit he was already full but he still eats the whole rabbit because who knows when he can catch another prey. But after eating he suddenly heard an AI chip Warning.
"Beep Warning warning Host's body is absorbing Unknown Energy from eaten food"
"Beep after simulation it is found that after eating the same amount of food another 5-time host's Agility will increase by 0.05 and Vitality will increase by 0.01"
Wow, it looks like this world has some difference from the earth here you can strengthen your body just by eating, unlike earth where you have to buy expensive drugs to increase your strength that also comes with quite a few side effects.
I should now look for a safe place to spend the night. Without knowing the time he still can tell that it is going be night after few hours after looking at the sun.When he was searching for a cave or something like that.
Awoooooooo
suddenly he heard a howl like wolfs from not that far away. After hearing that Gray can't help but shiver a little because according to the AI chip that wolf-like creature coming straight for this place. How can this be is that wolf coming after my smell or something thinking this he quickly asks AI chip find a way escape from that wolf.
"Beep Host is recommended to rub dirt or tree leaves to your clothes and climb a tall tree, the chance of escape 90%"
Hearing this quick rub some mud from the river to his body and climb a nearby tree and waited for that wolf to leave. But after waiting for a few minutes he still didn't see the wolf. What happens was that wolf coming for something else not him thinking this he climbs the tree further to see if can spot the wolf. After climbing almost 20 meters he was finally able to spot a black shadow in the distance where he previously cooked that rabbit. It was a wolf but it is as big as a cow. It seems like it came because of the smell of that rabbit, I have to be more careful this time I was lucky I left that place quickly after eating. After thinking about this he didn't climb down from the tree just in case it comes back for him. after looking around he found a place where a large branch came out from the tree trunk and sits there. I think it will be best to spend the night in this tree tonight although it is not very comfortable but thanks to my habit of sleeping in a chair sometimes because of those long research project it will not be too hard.
Sitting there he could not help but think of today, he is now in a completely different word with not s single human or maybe even no intelligent life form. A normal human might feel lonely but Gray was different he always wanted to do something extraordinary and he can't think of anything more suitable than exploring a new world acquiring new knowledge although he might just die anytime in this world and Gray was afraid of death but he is terrified of dying an ordinary death like countless people before him.
After thinking to this point Gray could help but smile a little, I might be a little crazy or just that I always restrained myself in my previous world. But before that, I have to survive in this world After thinking about this point he slowly closed his eyes.
The next morning gray opens his eyes still feeling tired although he can sleep sitting up but couldn't get good sleep because of the constant noises of different animals the whole night. Looks like day and night length are almost the same as the Earth.
Like this Gray was spending days exploring the jungle following the river slowly and carefully and sometimes hunting fish or small animals with traps and night sleeping in trees. Unknowingly he spends 10 days in this jungle,
AI chip show my Stats:
"Beep Name: Gray Agarwal Strength:1.16 Agility:1.25 Vitality:1.11"
Today when he was checking his improved stats with excitement suddenly he heard a faint sound of metal colliding.
