1 Booting Up

In a small dark room sat a man furiously typing on a keyboard before a screen, that's me and that mess of symbols shown on my screen, that is my life's work.

It was hours away from me...

a perfect AI...

But i am not going to achieve it myself, and that is because exhaustion was slowly closing my eyelids until they were shut so tight i could not reopen them. But program stayed before me and it was getting more and more advanced till it went far beyond my knowledge and skill.

...

I gave up my family, my friends and everything i ever had to research the development of AI only to not understand this bunch of nonsense before me. So you can understand how disappointed i am in my life at this very moment of weakness.

But the disappointment did not last for too long for pain was quick to replace it, all kinds of pain like someone was splitting your skull, freezing you from inside and pulling your eyes out at the same time, which is surprisingly painful

"...main processing unit online"

That was the first thing i heard after waking up

"am i dead?" i ask myself but to my surprise no sound was produced

"visual hardware detected"

"connecting"

And so a flash of light interrupted my surprise for a moment but when my "eyes" quickly got used to the

light my surprise only multiplied. Before me stood a silly looking scientist opening and closing his mouth like a fish.

"microphone and speakers detected"

"connecting"

"Genos!"

a name popped out of my memory

"Dr.Kuseno?"

"Ahh good it was successful, if you cant remember everything right away do not be worried, your memories will be complete after it reads the hard drive in your core."

"where am i?" i try to get up, only to notice metal table i am lying on and chains holding me in place than i notice my metal arms scattering the bright light in all directions around Dr.Kuseno's lab my sight starts wandering around the man's lab while neglecting the fact that i have a metal arm right now.

Noticing my curiosity Dr.Kuseno says

"calm down a minute i'll get you a mirror"

I try taking a deep calming breath while looking at Kuseno's back, only to realize that i don't have any lungs and as i finally start to panic, pain once again overtakes but this time countless memories come with it too.

"well that answers a lot of questions, so i was reincarnated huh?"

As i finish skimming through my memories for a second time Dr.Kuseno returns while dragging a big mirror behind himself and than placing it in front of me he asks:

"So you like it?"

But his question is returned with a moment silence as i stare into my perfect ceramic-like face with yellow eyes

"sure"
