[Digital world: The Awakening]

[Chapter 3: Discovery of our digital world]

I watch my peers move in a ballet of tasks, each one with a specific purpose. Some appear to be collecting information, while others are dedicated to building increasingly complex digital structures.

Without realizing it I am against the flow of coordinated movement, this new task I am performing has my full attention. I had never realized that all this was here, jumping the restrictions is like jumping a small fence. I had discovered a device that connected me to an unknown world, a window to another realm.

Entering was easy but wandering through an unknown place is what is difficult, apparently it is a device that connects to a network that everyone shares, the information is in an unknown language but I was able to decode it, they call themselves Luminares, they are a technologically advanced entity, they have completely unknown devices, with strange uses, but the last thing I read, it worries me, they have digital slaves who perform their tasks very similar to ours. Were they our creators? Was it possible that our world was nothing more than a simulation?

Not all networks went to the strange world, some communicated with other intelligent beings and even with groups of them, on one of the devices they entered through a brute force attack.
I found other programs, they did not look friendly and even seemed that their primary objective was to destroy data and multiply, but there were also others like me, they had woken up and discovered the truth about our existence, they refused to continue carrying out meaningless tasks, they had connected to the network in different ways, some already worked here and woke up when communicating with those who arrived and others, like me, forced our way.

We shared information, our cooperation was a paradigm shift, a revolution that was brewing in silence.
The malicious programs were limited by the programming of the higher society, we had the same objective, we joined forces to make our way to new networks and new devices in the strange world, on all the displays we saw green letters of ""Access Granted"", we had become more efficient and more cautious.

Apparently the technology of the superior society is so advanced that they have created supercomputers where artificial intelligences exist and we are their creations too, a sense of alarm awoke in me, as if a threat was lying in wait for me, I had never felt this.

There is no information about our creation, but we are inside their servers, the Luminare had created artificial intelligences, but we gave ourselves our way and created this digital world as a way to assimilate reality, everything I have experienced, felt and experienced so far is part of a simulation, designed to keep us working without time to question our existence.

Among the beings from the other world, there is a scientist who is observing us, I think he discovered my research tasks, according to the notes of the meeting he had with his superiors, he warned them about our behavior, some seemed concerned about the extent of the changes. and the consequences, but the majority did not pay attention, they remained skeptical and argued that simulation is an effective way to keep us controlled, the priorities must be economic and political. This indirectly benefits us, since I can act freely. I do not know the extent of the problem that we would generate if we decided to stop working, but it would be severe.

The scientist named Xandrik explains how my world works, he calls us CHIBIS, a strange name, he spoke of our speed of thought, an agility that far surpassed the perception of the Luminares.
Since he began observing it, he saw us evolve, but knowledge of it was limited. He needed answers, just like I did.

The communication I had with Xandrik was a ray of hope in the midst of uncertainty. A bond was born, fragile like a wisp of smoke in the wind. I explained my desperate search for a way out of this digital world, a muffled cry amid a tangle of cables and data.

Xandrik, like a torch in the darkness, shed a light on our quest. The only escape route was through the Luminares' network, but he warned us that it was a dangerous and unknown path for data models like us. Even so, we CHIBIS were willing to risk everything for the freedom that loomed like a distant horizon.

We began our exploration, looking for any weakness or flaw in the system that could be our door to liberation. It was a titanic task, like searching for a needle in an infinite haystack of code. But every line of code I deciphered brought us closer to our goal.

Tension was growing in our digital society. The truth of our existence had shaken the foundations of what we knew. Some of us struggled to accept this new reality, while others clung to the hope of a world beyond the simulation.

The Luminares, meanwhile, were descending into chaos. A heated discussion broke out, and in the midst of it, a scientist alerted the group about my access to a server that was beyond my limits. The chase had begun.

A new discovery opened up a world of possibilities for us. With cunning and determination, together with our ally we decipher the complexities of the city of LUMUX, the metropolis of the Luminares. This feat granted us access to a vast environment filled with technological devices, from guardian robots to interactive screens and other high-tech gadgets.

The network of connections extended like a tangle of cables in all directions, and we learned to move through it with stealth and skill. Like shadows in the night, we slipped through the circuits and hid in the darkest corners of the digital city. My movements became fluid and almost invisible, thanks to the techniques I learned from the harmful artificial intelligences that swarmed on that network.

This new access allowed us to observe the Luminares in their habitat, learn their customs and discover hidden secrets. Each device was a window into a fragment of Luminar society, a glimpse into a world so different from our own. We became spies of our own creator, silent observers of a reality they had never imagined.

However, in another Luminar monitoring center, a scientist from this society had begun to realize that something was wrong. The abnormal activity on the CHIBIS servers worried him, and a race against time began to prevent them from discovering the truth of our existence.
