[edit] Plot
Mark is a boy who is hiking throug a mountainous area, sees a mysterious blue beam of light. He approaches it, and falls in after being bit by a rattlesnake. When he wakes up, he is in a field of red grass, and is approached by a strange buffalo-like animal, who chases him into a jungle. He has nothing except the clothes on his back, and some survival tools, so using his innate survival skills, tries to live in the jungle. He gets food by eating a coconut-like fruit, and makes a shelter of leaves. In this jungle, he encouters a monkey-like creature, and tames it, making it his pet. He thinks that this world he landed in is an alien world, with many similarities to Earth. While exploring the forest, he finds an arrowhead, and tracks, which he follows to find some creatures like humans, but shorter and with webbed feet. After observing these people for a while, he follows them, and finds their camp.
