《Origin》Where am i?

"Come, child, come..."
Aden, 17, finally slept after a long months of work, being a mercenary exploring uncharted planet, filled with many dangerous specimens, it's sad, the pay isn't that big, but it could support him for a year.
"Come, child, come..."
Where is this? a ball? what is that thing? why is that guy saying it? I'm not your child, what? what is happening? why does my head hurt? owowowowowow it hurts!
Aden finally woke up after that strange dream, but the feeling in his head got even worse, and the voice still remains in his head, as if it is there from the start. the voice got worse, as if it is multiplying, his head felt like it has been split in two like a durian, he tried to wake up, and walk, several times he fell down, but he still hesitated to go out. finally out of his house, he immediately walked to a lush kaleyard in front of his rural house. The voice spoke louder and louder until he cannot think, and he was knocked unconscious because of the mental suffering he just had gone through.
he woke up. "Where the hell is this place?" after he realized his surrounding that he is very unfamiliar with it. he walked and walked and walked until he was in a cliff, he saw what seems to be an infinite lush tropical-like forest, except that many, many colors accompanied it, not just green like Earth, but many. and he saw what seemed to be a statue, no, a flying meditating statue that kinda give off an eerie feeling when looked to its slithered 6 eyes that were vertically formed, it looked like a creature from his recently visited planet, they called it "four-handed spiderman". it is bipedal four-handed creature that can stick in walls and very fast and agile, it was a hassle to clean them up as they are mostly a pack nest-stuck creatures, they ranged from 1.2m to 1.5m, and is a very dangerous creature as it can be called "intelligent". The statue only resembled it, and it was way much bigger as it can be seen from hundreds of miles away, as it was floating up and down slowly mid-air, hundreds of thousands strange creatures and beasts that are easily 5 times bigger than the largest prehistoric animal ran frenzily into the statue circling it, one of the statue's eyes opened and a large golden shockwave razed and turned all the strange creatures into dusts, weirdly enough, all the surrounding trees and forests only budged as if there is a gale for half a second and didn't perish like the creatures. soon, the clouds of dust began to circle the statue and shone a bright golden light that the statue absorbed quickly, it was no statue, it is a creature, a very strong one at that, place it to earth and a city will fall. its shockwave reminded him of the old nitrogen bombs that were used in the napoleonic war, after it was used, many countries sided against the French, as they broke the geneva pact, after that, many power armor armies were sent to destroy the French, but it was futile as the french has more cards left in its sleeve, the French issued an order 66, reference to the old 1657 star wars film, it sent out many MK.33 Flying Personal Mecha (FPM) to the power armies, as it was a new technology in the mecha industry, it was very one-sided, the mechs annihilated all of them like ants, fortunately, the USA sent its new flying airship, the FA-K3, to unleash the new power of EMPs, especially the machine-sensitive EMPs, as the electricity overheats the mechs, it slowly corrodes the mecha's core energy made from Arc element, an element that made the nuclear-based power plant looked like an AAA battery used in the medieval era, the French surrendered after that fearing that it would expose their new project that is more important than winning the war, the cheap producing plasma-based energy gun, which was a new type energy in that era, looking now in 2000, plasma energy weapon has developed from a gun, to a planet destroying monstrosity that is similar to the Death star and Drej motherships, as expected from the French, they are an avid fans of star wars, they really loved science-fictions too. looking at the creature did that, Aden was surprised, countless modifications, whether it was biological, or mechanical, on the human or a beast's body never made them into a nuclear bomb, but this creature just did it as if it is not a problem, if the Association of Body research seen this, they would go mad in an instant, and switched 180 degrees from their usually easy life demeanor to a crazy scientist that just found a way to revive the dead to bring his dead family back, Aden started replaying the video in his AIUI, thinking that this information will sell very big, he saved it to his 400-exabyte memory card. a sudden voice spoke {Video has been saved, would you like to keep it into the "Important" Folder?} "Yes," he said.

As he wandered around, he founded many strange creatures, some are small, some are enormous, as he stumbled into the strange creatures one by one, he will take a video, pictures, and scanned all the creatures to sell it for a high price. the scanning couldn't get the specific details of the creatures as it needs a blood sample to fully scan it, Aden was afraid to go to the bigger ones, instead, he extracted the smaller ones, being careful, Aden used his robotic hand to catch the beetle-looking creature, as his robotic arm fully extracted the blood, a sudden notification appeared on his face
{Scanning... 1%.... 50%...... 100%}
{Verifying....}
{Warning. Scan Failed, Verifying failed, unknown substances are detected, cannot fully research until found the specific Laboratory to conduct research.}
{Warning. Corrosive substance entered Host's body, advise not to hold the subject any longer}
"Oh shitshitshitshit" he immediately let go of the beetle-like creature, he felt an uneasy feeling in his hand, that immediately erased by the AI, looking at the beetle-like creature, he saw the grass around it started to wither, luckily he only caught a portion of its bloodvenom, if not, all of his bionic arm will corrode to nothingness, if that happened, he would be a cripple in a dangerous world, "Thank god that shit never got to me, I pray to the lord to never encounter that kind of thing again" he prayed 100% carefully to never get that corrosive blood again, it'll be a disaster if all animals in this world is corrosive, wait.... what if...
he got hungry, he hunted a deerlike creature that was eating alone, because of the modification in his body, he is stronger than the power armor in the napoleon wars, now, power armors are more advanced than ever, even if a nuclear bomb were to detonate in their head, they could mostly suffer a headache. he thought that killing the deer was an easy task, he sneaked behind the deer, and tried to stab it by his makeshift dagger that he made before, as he stabbed the deer, the deer ran, and he was surprised, he was dragged by the deerlike creature! a force of a normal human, which was half a ton multiplied by ten, could not even drag a modified body like his, although his mod is not the best, his would be considered below average, but for a normal deer to drag him to his extent.... if the Association of Body research were to see this scene, they would be very embarrassed to the core of their lives, how can, an unmodified creature, do this so easily? he tried to stab it again, but a force prevented him to stab it again, then the deer stopped and screamed so hard and eeriely, the surrounding gushed.
A voice could be heard. "┕┤█⍰☗┙┝", it spoke, Aden was amazed, but he immediately disappointed that he cannot understand a word. Seeing Aden's confused and disappointed face, it immediately frowned and quickly accessed the memory of Aden.

{Warning, Someone tried to access your brain}
{Warning. Failed to repel and counterattack}
Aden's amazement could be seen 'This thing could hack into my brain and the AI couldn't even do shit about it?' he thought, then a voice ringed in his head "Don't think of me like that, young man" it said, now Aden's amazement grew into a steaming hotpot, as he is half a scientist himself, he couldn't contain his amazement, now he is looking at the creature with shining eyes
"Alright, alright, stop with your thought, it's disgusting, now, can you get your knife out of my ass?" it said
"Wait, you can talk too??!!" he screamed in surprise
"Of course you stupid ape, everyone can talk here, seeing that you're transported here, I'll help you survive the basics"
"Wow" he surprisingly thought, 'This world's creatures are more intelligent than I thought'
"What? do you think of us as a stupid mammal from your world? when I saw your memories, all I can say that your world is very, very stupid," it said
"Oh, I forgot, you can see through minds, then, if our technology is stupid, what is considered smart with your standard, Mister Deer?" He curiously asked
"From my experience living a thousand years here, our grandma always told us stories about the ancients, she said that they created this infinite Omnicael by themselves to conduct experiments," it said
"Wow, have you ever meet them?"
"No, as they never came here more than a billion year ago, but their descendants came here to train themselves, although they're not as powerful as their predecessor, they are to be called "Gods" in your world, they're named godmen after all, but even then strong beings like them faced an extraordinary opponent and lost, even then they still prayed to something, that we, cannot even comprehend" it explained
"So, are they considered extinct then?"
"No, although all of us Tests considered that too, after a couple of years ago, Hisydema started working again, and all of us got an announcement to prepare for the Godmen's descent, but it hasn't happened yet"
"Then what is this Hisydema?" he asked curiously, but as soon after that, his stomach started growling
{Warning, seek food and fluid intake}
{Warning, in dire need of food}
"Hah, let's converse later, we'll get some food first, don't worry, there're many unintelligent creatures made by the ancients so that we can't be sorry for them" it spoke
"Alright"
After walking with the deer, it found a brown bear, although it was larger than the deer, the deer just headbutted the bear as if it was no big deal, it checked if it died, and then spoke some strange words, and surprisingly the bear was roasted and its skin burned into nothingness
"That must be magic, am I correct?" He asked
"For your world, yes, but to us, it's just a convenience, I'll teach you later, now just eat that meat, spare some for me"
"Alright" He immediately ate the bear without a thought, although there is no taste, he is, still hungry, any food would be considered a delicacy if someone's hungry
