Chapter 107 January
In the game "Stone of Creation", Kana once had this kind of positioning as a player.
The one who understands the storyline best among technical players.
The one with the best skills among storyline players.
Although this wasn't enough to make Kana a formidable existence, it did make him proficient in both areas.
As the first fully simulated game, "Stone of Creation" was undoubtedly a success.
Its release itself was highly anticipated, highly watched, innovative, and different.
This led the game to break countless records upon its release, becoming a phenomenal entity.
And it soon became a part of people's lives at the time.
Although with the spread of technology, more and more games followed suit,
this game became a part of "life".
It even influenced and led to changes in laws and social systems in many countries.
After all, at the time, it was seen as a black technology ahead of its time.
Rich storylines, a well-developed background world, and a vivid "Otherworld" experience as if being there.
Gave birth to many "Innovators".
They were responsible for researching and interpreting such an Otherworld, studying the game world's history, its background, and each Race.
These people were undoubtedly the most knowledgeable about the storyline and background stories in the game.
And Kana.
Of course, he was not part of this group.
But he often appeared in the background of this group of "Innovators", dubbed "The Mysterious Little Black" by those who enjoyed watching such videos.
Gradually becoming a meme.
Why did this happen?
Naturally, it's because among this group of storyline lovers who are well-versed in it, he was the best in terms of skills.
After all, this was a game, and understanding and detailed "archaeology" of the storyline required entering specific dungeon levels.
This required a "big boss" to lead.
But the game was too vast, and the top team of big bosses worked for salaries.
The game constantly generated various dungeons due to the advancement of events. These powerhouses competed for these resources.
As lovers of the storyline and background stories, they could only rely on personal connections to invite strong players to carry them through dungeons that required strength to enter.
A storyline enthusiast with strength, and an individual "Character", naturally became the most suitable choice.
That was Kana.
Through years of action, Kana even started relying on this "friendship" assistance to become a semi-professional player.
And gradually, from a lover of storylines, background stories, and settings, transformed into an Innovator with some research and understanding.
Due to the competition in this media profession, these Innovators had their research interests.
Some specialized in a particular Race, some in a particular era, some in a particular Empire.
Some even researched the life of ordinary people in the background stories, even integrating themselves into it.
Researching unknown stories and uncovering ancient histories even the storyline Characters didn't know.
In helping so many people specialized in different aspects, Kana gradually became someone who knew a bit about everything.
He might not know the details of a particular Race, but he knew about some significant events, basic conditions, and key points in the Race's development.
This made him a person who knew broadly but not deeply.
If you asked about the development history of a Race, or why a Race experienced hardships, he could explain eloquently.
Even through geographical environments and multifaceted reasons with other Races, he could expound some truths.
But if you asked about historical figures in a specific location of a Race, or their cultural preferences, living conditions, and systems, he would be at a loss.
When the game turned into reality.
When Kana transitioned from a player to a living, breathing member of this world.
The previously vast yet not detailed knowledge gave him a one-sided all-encompassing "omniscience".
Became the foundation for his standing, a truly powerful means, allowing him to plan with this knowledge.
And now, in reality, he was attracted to the aspects he hadn't cared about or didn't have time to care about, in the lives of specific individuals and Races.
He is now constantly observing.
Observing the "Kulin Village" in front of him.
Kulin, in the Half-Elf language, describes a fertile homeland, having meanings similar to a new home, a new settlement.
That's why it is called Kulin Village.
The main group living here, of course, is the Half-Elves Kana rescued and fully datafied.
So many converted at once.
In his heart, Kana indeed had a nature inclined toward experimentation.
He couldn't imagine what would happen in the real world with a truly datafied large group.
When it comes to specific individuals, some things become unpredictable.
So he learned to observe.
Although nominally the leader of this village, he did not interfere excessively but kept observing.
This was something he had to understand in the future because there would inevitably be more and more, a large number, of groups being datafied.
