"Ah, man! What a drag!" murmuring in his own thought, he rushes to the bag if he finds anything else. There is a lock system opening the bag. He can't manage to open the bag. He again sits down under the tree, enough long to cross the height of his skyscraper, leaves making sound with the flowing wind. He rubs his wounded place in head and finds out the wound just vanishes away. There is no pain coming from head anymore. But he still feels dizzy and restlessness.
Alex is rubbing his forehead again and again. Alex read more than hundred books including manga, manhwa, comic etc. He knows what to do in this case but he still can't believe himself he is in such kind of danger now.
"Why the hell can't I remember the name of this person I am now living in?"
Suddenly his eyes become dizzy and a cloud seems like spreading in front of eyes. After three seconds it all vanishes away. He is forcing himself to recall the name of this body. It is like his mind is contradicting to recall the memory but body wants to support me.
After forcing himself by closing eyes just focusing on only one topic to find the name, Alex again becomes very tired and unconsciously groans himself. After meditating for several minutes, Alex just opens his eyes with pleasure in his eyes, a bright smile widening lips. He finally realizes the name of this body.
The name of this body is AERIES VANGROVE.
"After all, I now can know the name of this person and I can use his knowledge about this place yet one thing is making me suspicious. Why the hell of memory recent days can't I remember?"
Alex is talking himself in the dark forest, sitting beside the bank of waterfall and bird like creatures are still circling but in a small range and number of their companion are now less than before. Still he doesn't give significance to this matter.
"Did I just isekai into another planet in another time? Or did I just reincarnate in this planet?"
Alex learned all these topic from reading books. From his knowledge he knew isekai meant transportation of someone in his own body into another dimension in another planet. But what happened with Alex is not sufficient to convince him that he isekaid from earth. If he isekaid, why he would remain in another body. He even didn't do any kind of ritual to teleport him to this place or there is no raft to create a portal to travel inter-dimension. Even there is no proof of dimensional crack beside me.
He erased out reincarnation from his list. He didn't die at earth and didn't take rebirth in this world. He just arrived in this body out of nowhere. "If I even reincarnated why would I just spot here in a deadly situation. It is not matching my theory at all."
Alex is pressurizing himself if he can find something that matches what happened to him actually. He realizes some of Aeries' memory is missing, even how heart and soul Alex tries he doesn't find the memory of last two days. He vaguely recalls that Aeries was being kidnapped with two other people. Even Alex can't find the memory of Aeries' family. Like the memory has been stolen from Aeries.
"How can this be possible actually?"
Thinking for a while finding no clue, Alex comes to an end," I will think about this matter afterwards."
He is plottin' all these information to understand yet he can't. Alex is thinking that his soul might be transferred to this world intentionally and would be fused with Aeries. But it is not like that actually. So he cut out this suspection from the list. It was not intentionally actually.
Alex understands from both of their memory that their memory are now overlapping with each other. He understands that soul of Aeries somehow remains enclosed in deep corner of the heart. A fragment of Aeries' soul lies with this body which helps Alex to survive in this horrific place. A sudden realization hits Alex.
He thinks," I most probably went through Soul Fragment Transfer."
He finds out that in this body there lay two souls, Alex and Aeries. But to survive in this world, Alex has to choose the memory or prioritize one's memory more than others. This self-realization keeps Alex him in more darkness. He can't understand what he should do now at this moment. However he comes to a decision, " When the appropriate time will come, I will decide about this matter now."
Alex is feeling very relaxed now rather than few times ago. Pressure is going away from him slothly. It, maybe, is happening because he understands what actually happened with him. Now he is stable sitting under the tree.
"Now a question rises to me; whom should I choose, me or Aeries?" Alex asks this question to himself looking up at the sky seeing blood red moon. The night falls down and the crimson blood red moon is glowing, reflecting red light in the waterfall. The environment of the surrounding is glittering like blood flowing now. It feels like the waterfall is bathing with blood. Sound from birds now can hardly be heard. The pain and clumsiness feeling is vanishing away from Alex's body. He is now sitting like a heart-broken person looking up at the sky.
Alex feels thirsty again and when he thinks to drink water from flowing waterfall, he is just thinking it to be cringe. But when the question comes to the survival, he hurriedly dives his hand into the water ignoring the temperature of water. He drenches his throat and feels satisfied again and gets life in him.
He again sits down under that high tree. He feels hungry like rats start racing in his stomach. But he wants to wait for the morning to come to leave this forest. "But how can I leave this place? I even don't know this place. Ahhh man! I should have a GPS tracker at this moment to get rid of this place. But I don't know where I am now."
Thinking all these thought buys him time unknowingly. Alex tilts his head down unknowingly. And suddenly he gets up. He again fixes his head to keep on the root of the tree. After a fraction of time, he falls asleep, tilting his head down touching his both knees, grasping knees with both hand firmly.
The night is passing by with each tick tock unknowingly. But the night seems so silent rather than earth. The earth would most probably be full with lights covering the sky. But in this world or planet the night keeps calm as calmness is feeling like a curse to this world in night or a boon.
A drastic sound has come from a distant sound waking up Alex suddenly. What time is now is hardly to be told at present. But the fact is that there is a Sun like star in this galaxy. But this star is too much orange rather than earth's. Suddenly Alex finds that there is not a star actually, there is a full star and a half star in the sky shining brightly.
Alex now gets up from the ground to start his journey. But he decides one thing to choose who he is now. After thinking for a few moments, looking at the waterfall, he chooses to be AERIES.

Now Aeries sets off to find out the mystery clouding over his head.
