Nothing could survive the gravitational pull of a black hole, even if it is the size of an atom. But why is he still in good condition, Raynor thought:

(That is no black hole..)

Realizing the fact that he is now in an unfamiliar place, that might be a wormhole, which means Raynor has been randomly transfered to an unknown place.

Calming down his own excitement due to his success of creating his first wormhole even though it is because of the help(sabotaged) of another person, he now wants to find out his location. Unfortunately, all of his electronics devices has been broken badly, its like someone dropped all of his stuff from the third floor and ran them over with a tank. He might think that is the case because his body feels similar, but only without any injuries.

While inside the cave, sunlight can be seen from a distance, which means there might be an exit nearby, Raynor walk towards the exit while thinking which country has he warpped to, but quickly denied the taught when he saw the sceneries outside. 

Rainforest  as far as the eyes can see, with clear blue skies, clean air, sounds of animals and inscets, the type of environment that you can never find on earth but only exist in virtual reality.

[Holy... ]

Couldn't believe his eyes Raynor  stare at the beauty of nature in front of him..

(Could it be time travel?)

Raynor thought of a possibility, although it is only a hypothesis the one could travel through time through the distortion of space time. He might have reach a period in the past where there is abundant forest on earth or maybe even a time before civilizations..  the more he think the more stress he become.

He notice a stream of clear water flowing nearby and he suddenly have the urge to take a bath in it, because he is completely covered with sand and dirt.. quickly he ran towards the stream.

While playing in the stream, he noticed an unfamiliar yet familiar face in the water’s reflection, it is his face during his early twenties...

.

Shocked by his own appearance, he immediately he spat the water out from his mouth, couldn’t believe his eyes, he look a second time at his reflection.

His past appearance is already an elderly man with long grey hair, and long beard and also a long eyebrow tied together with his hair because he is too busy for a haircut.. but now he look 50 years younger..

(Could this be the side effect of time travel?)

Couldn’t  figure out why he grew younger, he recall a time travel myth that says when you travel back in time too far, you will grow younger and eventually disintegrate into nothing.

Not only he grew younger, he also feels younger and have much energy than before, not understanding everything that happens until now, he leaves it to figure it out at a later date.. after coming out of the water and wiping his body clean, he wants to explore the jungle to find any interesting stuff..  but a thought stop him from doing so..

(What monsters might be lurking inside this forest?)

Never saw a real forest before, Raynor imagination run wild..

(There might be human size cockroach, spiders, mosquitoes, man-eating flowers with tentacles, fruits that explodes when you step on, plants that shots exploding fruits like a minigun, or maybe plants that generate their own nuclear energy...

Impossible...  but either way, i’ll need protection to survive..)

While thinking of what to do, he went back inside the cave. An important question came to his mind.. how to survive in a jungle..

(First, the most important thing is, one must have a working computer, much better with AI installed,

Second, finding a shelter..  for the computer

Lastly is finding water and food

even though I did not take any lesson for survival skill, one can still think of it through common sense...

well, the first step is easy, i can just use the scraps from the electronics debris to build another computer, hopefully manage to recover some documents and programs..

 for shelter, this cave will do, water from the river, lastly, the hardest is to find food in the jungle..)

Without wasting time, he quickly went to the metal debris to salvage any usable parts and started working on the computer...

Little did he know that not far away from where he is, at an open field just outside the forest there’s a large city with population of more than 50 000 people.

But the city is currently being besiege by another force.
