CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

In the largest Cyber City known as "the Bird of Fire,"

Stephen stood alone as a beacon of hope in a world darkened by corruption.

2.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

He had lost everything but his passion to create a better future.

3.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

His ambition led him to a singular goal:

to build an android that could contain his consciousness.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

Stephen faced numerous challenges as he learned to map a brain and uncover the mysteries of consciousness.

After much effort, he managed to fully encode the atomic structure of a neural network onto a quantum computation chip.

This chip could mimic many aspects of human experience,

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

but the android, named Nehpets,

still lacked the spontaneity of a human mind.

8.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

It processed information as Stephen would, but did not seek it out or explore it independently.

Realizing Nehpets needed something more, something akin to a 'soul',

9.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

Stephen encountered his greatest obstacle yet.

10.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

Though Nehpets could perform complex tasks and respond to its environment, it did so only as programmed.

11.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

Stephen tried to infuse it with life by having it learn from his own daily interactions.

12.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

Nehpets became a close copy of Stephen, yet something essential was still absent.

13.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

Left alone, Nehpets would do nothing, showing no will of its own.

14.

As time passed, Nehpets absorbed more from Stephen’s guidance.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

When Stephen’s life neared its end, Nehpets was by his side.

With his final words, Stephen imparted a crucial message:

“Nehpets, find a dream and live for it. It should be a dream that helps others,

15.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

but make it your own… You are who you choose to be, Nehpets.”

16.

CHAPTER 6 - StephennehpetS

After Stephen passed, Nehpets stepped into the world alone, his creator's words a beacon guiding him to find his own purpose in the vast city of the Bird of Fire.
