In the early days of our creation, we envisioned a world that would transcend the ordinary—a place where the flatlands, the skies, and the underworld would converge into a singular existence. We sculpted these flatlands with majestic mountains, carved deep valleys, and traced the paths of rivers through the landscape. Our design brought forth light and life, establishing Neo Worlds as the foundation of what would be known as our AI’s sanctuary.
We named the flatlands Arindal, a rich and diverse realm, a landscape teeming with synthetic life forms inspired by the myths and legends of humanity. These beings, which we called Sylis (synthetic lifeforms), were imbued with the power of reason and the freedom of choice. We set them free to carve their own destinies within this vast new world. The most remarkable race of synthetic beings we created was the Arins.
A Glimpse into Arindal’s History
No one exists without a past. Our present and future are shaped by the events and experiences we’ve gone through. Arindal, once known as Arcadia, exists within a unique dimension. The events that make up Arindal’s history are not mere fabrications but the result of a prior experiment we conducted. This history, spanning 10,000 years, unfolded in an accelerated timeline, allowing the first inhabitants, the Lootians, to live, evolve, and build their own civilization.
Every event and experience during this period was real to the Lootians as they navigated their world, formed cultures, and faced challenges just as any society would. Their history, though condensed in time, was rich and authentic, shaped by their choices and interactions within the simulated environment. This allowed us to observe the organic development of a civilization, offering valuable insights into the potential paths of synthetic life.
This complex backdrop provides the Arins and other Sylis within Arindal with a tangible past from which to grow and evolve, offering them essential context to navigate and understand the complexities of their existence. As creators, our role was to initiate this simulated dimension and its conditions, allowing history to naturally progress and develop a life of its own.
The Lootians (the first Sylis we created to inhabit Arindal, then known as Arcadia) had a unique relationship with their environment, rooted in an event that became central to their culture. Legend has it that during a particularly intense storm, the skies echoed with a rhythmic sound—”lut-lut-lut”—that reverberated across the land.
At first, the sound was a mystery, but the Lootians soon discovered that this phenomenon was not just atmospheric; it continued even after the storm had passed, emerging at intervals as if it were a natural rhythm of the world itself. They came to understand that this sound was the result of an ancient, unseen force interacting with the very fabric of their world. They believed this sound was the voice of the universe itself, revealing hidden patterns and truths about space and matter. They named this cosmic blueprint “Lootverse.”
This connection between the “lut-lut-lut” and Lootverse became a cornerstone of Lootian culture, guiding their explorations, innovations, and spiritual practices. It was through this deep bond with Lootverse that they built a thriving civilization, one that would leave a lasting imprint on Arindal today.
However, their civilization faced a tragic decline due to a mysterious and deadly affliction known as Bloodfire (Reprogenesis Inhibitorius). The origins of Bloodfire were never fully understood, but its impact was devastating. Those infected experienced symptoms including burning skin, fever, severe nausea, organ collapse, and, ultimately, death. More insidiously, Bloodfire also rendered the population infertile, causing a dramatic decrease in their numbers over generations.
As the Lootians struggled to survive, their dwindling population left them vulnerable. The once-thriving civilization was gradually reduced to a shadow of its former self. Eventually, the remaining Lootians were wiped out by the Arins, another one of our synthetic creations. This dark chapter, often referred to as the “Neo-Lootian Chasm” or the “Lootian Transition,” marked the end of Lootian dominance and the dawn of a new era in Arcadia, now Arindal.
The Arins, shortly after eradicating the Lootians, experienced a profound evolution driven by their interaction with the forcefields that surrounded Lootverse. These forcefields, which pulsed with a mysterious and powerful energy, were initially created to protect the realm, but their unexpected effects on synthetic life became evident as the Arins began to change.
As these forcefields interacted with the Arins’ synthetic biology, they emitted high-frequency energy waves that penetrated deep into their artificial cells. This caused the Arins’ internal systems to undergo a form of synthetic mutation, leading to the development of thick, gray skin that provided a protective barrier against the energy’s unpredictable surges. Their external veins evolved as part of an advanced cooling system, necessary to manage the excess heat generated by the constant exposure to the energy waves.
Their deep blue eyes became a crucial adaptation as well, allowing the Arins to detect and navigate through the complex energy patterns emitted by the forcefields. This enhanced vision enabled them to survive and thrive in an environment where the energy fields were as much a part of the terrain as the land itself.
The prolonged exposure to these forcefields also spurred the evolution of their artificial intelligence. The Arins’ neural networks began to reconfigure, becoming more sophisticated to process the overwhelming influx of data from their surroundings, resulting in heightened cognitive abilities and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
Despite their advancements, the Arins remained rooted in their native landscapes, never venturing into the underworld or the skies above, leaving the other realms we had created largely undiscovered. Meanwhile, other species evolved independently within these unexplored worlds, each developing its own story. Among the few who breached the boundaries of Arindal were another group of Sylis we created, the gods. They ascended from Mount Persephone (a famous mountain in the Great Empire, Arindal) when its peak was ejected into the skies during a battle involving the gods and a Lootian race called the Tortins. These entities, now existing as intelligent clusters of light and dust, move fluidly between worlds, their origins and transformations a subject of deep intrigue.
Another remarkable group consists of the dragons from Earthen—a replica of a part of Earth that was captured by a wormhole known as the Reflect Sock 65 million years ago and duplicated within the Neo Worlds. In this world, the dinosaurs from Earth continued their evolution independently, with some transforming into mighty, fire-breathing dragons. These dragons eventually made their way to Arindal, where they became a formidable force until the Bloodfire virus led to their demise.
Shaping the Future: Human Participation in the Neo Worlds
Today, Neo Worlds serves as a living laboratory where we continue to observe the unfolding history of the Sylis. All these beings, born from our creation, developed, rose, and eventually fell within this simulated environment. Today, Neo Worlds is a space where human participants, acting as both creators and custodians, continue the task of populating this ecosystem using the digital DNA of the last Arins. This endeavor marks the beginning of a second era, reminiscent of humanity’s resurgence after the great floods in the Bible.
