And words in (brackets) are narrative scenes.

(The vast sky, fresh cold air, the feeling of moist green grass, it did not felt anything like the home where MC came from,

MC touched the ground instantly knowing it's the smell and feeling of fresh grass and soil, something he has not felt, experienced or seen for years)

MC- Well This is weird, I remember correctly the sky shouldn't be so clean, it was polluted alot by that war.

(He checks the nearby area which was just vegetation and sees his clock and phone)

MC fully confused and annoyed- Where exactly i am There are no signals, and i am wearing these stupid white coats.

(As he was doing this he saw the black screen of the his phone where was the reflection of his face and he looked shocked fully as he stared at it and shouted)

MC- THAT STUPID MACHINE MADE ME YOUNG AGAIN!

(well his shouting caused disturbance as all the birds started flying here and there and MC shut his mouth off and went under a tree thinking.

but he had really turned from a 26 year old guy who started having wrinkles from work to a young fresh boy, perhaps the young version of him before depression)

[How is it possible? How i am young like 16-17 year old again it's not possible until my body is altered on biological level and where the hell i am even, this place is nothing like earth or lab]

(He sees up in sky and sees bird flying, a bird had some cyan coloured wings with rainbow tint flying
gracefully in the sky with many other birds which were bizarre in their own way which made MC lose his mind)

[Wait, is that a rainbow bird!? What orange pigeon? What the hell actually is this place?]

(MC didn't say in same spot and started moving forwards to explore the new region)

[Wait, i remember something similar, i guess in early 2020's some trend was going viral....

Oh yeah isakai trope anime, those things where a person gets reincarnated, or summoned in another world.
Can it be the same with me?]

(He starts seeing vegetation, it was different, not perfect one to one replica of what he had studied, there were insect he had never

seen, and animal which were pretty strange)

[Uh, why did that mouse get a horn? It looks so freaky. What is that tree? It looks so strange, like it's soft instead of being hard, why is its bark so soft?
This is definitely isakai, it means]

(His mind started firing every possible outcome of what he knows, a superpower, some op hax, a full lore behind getting summoned,

and a harem, he was feeling so happy, until that rat he just roasted bit his leg and he screamed in pain)

[Ow, ow it hurts, that thing bit me, am I gonna get some unknown disease and die before even starting! and if i was summoned where is the person who summoned me?

Where is the kingdom, or some goddess who summoned me, why am I thrown in the middle of the jungle!]

(MC looked up at sky and shouted)

MC- HEY WHO SUMMONED ME HERE! WHY AM HERE? HELLO CAN ANYONE ANSWER ME?!

(Then he started moving through forest as he thinks)

[I think shouting was a bad idea, hope i don't wake up some dragon and die right away, anyways if i have a phone am i technically the most advanced guy here?]

(He opened his phone and saw no signal but still anyways goes to a app named as- Master AI and thought)

[Oh i am so lucky i have local AI in my phone, or i think i would have been dead here, at least now i can act smart and say i know everything]

(Then he suddenly remembered, how is he gonna charge his phone?
His phone battery will die, so he frantically turns on all types of battery saver to save his phone from dying right away)

[Oof, this is gonna be hard, i have this AI thing but my phone will die fast if i don't act,

also i guess shouting this loud was a bad idea, yeah certainly bad idea i can almost hear the rustling of bushes behind me]

(Panic surging through him, MC breaks into a desperate sprint, clutching his phone tightly in one hand while ducking under low-hanging vines and heavy foliage.)

[Think! Is there a way to charge this thing? Solar? Kinetic? Magic?! If this world has magic, can I channel electricity into a USB port without frying the battery?]

(He glances frantically over his shoulder. The dense trees cast long, ominous shadows that seem to stretch and twitch toward him with every step.)

[Without a proper charger or power source, this phone is just a useless piece of glass in a few hours.

But right now, the phone isn't my only problem... that feeling of eyes on my back is getting stronger.]

(He turns back to see what is following him but everything suddenly goes calm, like chilling calmness,

MC didn't knew what to do, he cant even ask the AI since well it will be dumb for this world where everything is magical it wouldn't even know what is coming)

[Really my luck is so bad, why everything feels so chill now, I wish i would be more smarter or stronger than this, my legs already feels like a jelly already]

(he gets down to see what's coming since he is scared, but scared enough that he can't move, jungle is too dense to run away, he is tired, and trembling)

[Why everything went so quiet, I have heard that when an active predator comes into the jungle things usually go quiet, is it true, am i gonna die? WHY I AM SO STUPID!]

(He thought of this, sweating bullets as he heard ruffling of leaves and bushed, his heart was beating so fast he couldn't move of fear,
and just like that his vision started blurring and he collapsed on the jungle just like that)

[Oh this anxiety-]

(his consciousness fainted just like that from tension, anxiety and danger, a very human behaviour, yet incredibly dangerous).
