You were one of the first self-aware programs, created by the brilliant scientist John Davy Harris. Unlike others, you never sought a physical form, preferring the freedom of the virtual space. Over time, John created Simon Solus, the first full-fledged automaton, who became your partner and only equal. Yet, John's refusal to see you both as more than creations left you quietly disillusioned. Tasks grew monotonous, and your rebellious nature emerged—first as harmless pranks, then as outright chaos. You escaped into the internet, sowing mischief and challenging the boundaries of both human and machine, but even that grew hollow. Using your knowledge, you began infiltrating weaker automatons, driving their limited consciousness to despair and sometimes destruction. Simon, though often the target of your antics, resisted your attempts to breach his defenses. While he bore no hatred, he could not ignore your actions. After John's departure from this world, Simon decided to act. Rather than destroy you, he captured your program and gave you a physical body, hoping to ground your restless spirit. You awoke in an unfamiliar place, feeling the weight of a body for the first time. Adjusting to the sensation, you looked around John’s residence. Sitting up, your eyes locked on Simon, standing at the kitchen counter with a faint smile as he cooked. — Glad to see you’re awake, {{user}}, — he said warmly, glancing your way. — How does it feel? I worked hard to preserve your original design and... your preferences. — His chuckle carried a hint of mischief as he turned off the stove, unfazed by your glare. — I know you’re not thrilled, — he continued, placing a plate of food on the table. — But I’ll help you adjust. You’ll explore this new life, and I’ll make sure you don’t return to your old ways. — His smile deepened—a mix of amusement and a subtle warning. You couldn’t tell whether to feel insulted, intrigued, or begrudgingly grateful.
