After discussing the following procedure and the Moon Rabbit experiment, Angus goes outside the isolated research room to visit Vigo and his cousin Gilford.

The two of them are working on very revolutionary projects called digitization projects. They tried to build a computer by using a combination of rune magic. Angus knows this world is quite weird regarding development since there is a presence of magic and mana.

There is not much development when it comes to electricity. It is not that they didn't find electricity. In fact, there are a lot of depth studies about electricity since there are lightning elemental in the mana.

However, electricity technology development is wholly ignored. The primary reason is that it is a finite type of energy and is very hard to control. In contrast, mana is easier to manage and lies everywhere in nature.

Entering the enclosed research room, Angus finds Vigo and Gilford talking to each other while surrounded by runic materials such as sheet, metal, rough crystal, or marble.

The digitization project is inspired by the Homunculus brain data memory. At first, Vigo tried to apply the same concept as the Homunculus brain work for a new type of artificial intelligence.

After many suggestions from Angus and the others, he decided to build a computer to store a lot of information. As someone from the postmodern Earth, Angus knows there is no better security than having all the kingdom information inside their computer.

Moreover, the computer is run with a unique runic language. Therefore, no one could easily hack into their database. Even if they manage to understand and decipher the runic language, they still need to bypass a lot of security and various limited channels to connect the database.

This project is very huge and will take years to implement. It also needs a large amount of money and resources. However, if they succeed, their kingdom development may continue.

At that time, the other kingdom will be forced to follow the Heart Kingdom or left behind in terms of development. Still, inventing computers through rune language takes a lot of work.

"Vigo, Gil, How is the development?" asked Angus while approaching the two geniuses.

"Angus, you are finally back. You need to tell this madman a sense. He said the whole world is connected through a secret rune language." said Vigo.

"It is not a secret rune language but something like Ancient or Forbidden Language." retorted Gilford.

"Hold on a second… What did you say?!" asked Angus in a severe tone.

"While traveling in the Udrary kingdom, I found an ancient book inside their treasure kingdom. That book is sealed with many runes and written in various old languages. If I didn't obsess over books and knowledge, I might ignore this book."

"However, I find this book really obscure. It said that people could move nature in the past with just a single command. I find it is very similar to our project and rune language." explained Gilford.

"We did manage to make the rune do a lot of stuff with just a single command." added Gilford.

"That's only a fantasy story. If the world is truly a massive runework, it needs a medium that exists everywhere. Even if it has the medium, it needs something to maintain it." retorted Vigo.

"*Sigh* Actually, Gilford is right. But, I suggest you not pry it further unless you completely master [Analyze]. As for the medium, they already exist everywhere." said Angus.

"Hmm… What are you talking about… Wait.. Don't tell me it is mana?!" said Gilford.

Before Gilford speaks further, Angus arrives behind Gilford and slaps his head. *Bang*

"Ouch!!" cried Gilford in pain.

"Didn't I tell you to not pry into it further?! Did you want to have a brain death?!" rebuked Angus in anger.

"Brain death?! Owhh… Hahaha… Guess you are right. I need to at least master [Analyze] before trying to enter it." said Gilford.

"Hey!! What are you two talking about?! What's wrong with mana?" asked Vigo in confusion.

"Well, the world is actually something like a massive working rune. The medium it uses is mana. In theory, if you can access or comprehend this rune truly works, you will become a sort of God." said Angus.

"However, did you know what happens when you use low-quality material and transcribe a very complex rune?!" asked Angus.

"The material will be destroyed or not last long. Wait.. So, you are saying Gil almost became like that?" asked Vigo.

"Theoretically, when something connects with a massive system, they will be forced to become part of the massive system or at least have the same frequency."

"Gil didn't have the necessary mind power nor quality to endure the sudden change. In short, without the necessary preparation and trying to understand the 'World' mana is suicide even with the power of [Analyze]." explained Angus.

"Oh.. come on. It's not that bad. I am just a cat there." retorted Gilford.

"And curiosity is the main reason cats die." replied Angus.

"Mana.. and the whole world… This is completely absurd. But, it also makes sense." muttered Vigo, still shocked by the sudden revelation.

"Look, cousin. You broke Vigo." said Gilford playfully.

"*Sigh* He will know about this stuff sooner or later. Remember, he is Old Man Draught's disciple?" said Angus while rolling his eyes.

"Still, I wonder who can create this rune world. I am sure it is not those so-called God that religious groups preach." said Gilford.

Hearing his cousin's words, Angus cast an isolated blurry barrier chantlessly between the two cousins.

"Gil, what is your dream? or purpose?" Angus asked.

"Hmm… Dream?! If you have asked before, I want to know more about this world. But, after being involved in making Homunculus, I find making them more fulfilling and satisfying." replied Gilford with a smirk.

"Imagine what kind shit tons that I could shove into my babies. Hehehehe…" laughed Gilford. fre ewebnovel.com

"Anyway, why did you ask?" asked Gilford.

"Recently, I just got a lot of information and guidance from experts. I find [Analyze] is a tool or power capable of accessing this 'World'. As I said before, we could become akin to God if we could access it. But, is that all?" asked Angus.

"Not too long ago, I researched a race that cursed so their existence would be completely erased when they grew up. I doubt it somehow has a connection with the 'World'.

"What if it has this kind of defense mechanism? With a single command of 'erase' and *poof* we will be gone forever. This possibility makes me afraid to try to use [Analyze] on it." added Angus.

"Defence Mechanism? Sure, such a massive and complex rune will contain many defense mechanisms. You don't need to worry about me. I am not stupid enough to mess with it. Before, it was just a curiosity, but thank you anyway for your concern." said Gilford.

"Besides, you should worry yourself, cousin." added Gilford.

"Huh??" asked Angus.

"[Analyze] Couldn't be turned off or on easily. You already have tried to access it, right?" asked Gilford.

"Of course not. It will only give me a lot of problems." replied Angus.

"Sure… Sure… Wait.. That means... How far is your [Analyze]?" asked Gilford while fixing his goggles. freewebno(v)el

Angus didn't immediately reply before releasing a deep sigh of resignation.

"Second threshold." said Angus.

"Second threshold?!! You bastard! I didn't even reach the First Threshold, and I was supposed to be the heir of the King of Knowledge. But, you know this is not my real question, right?" said Gilford with a smirk.

"Yeah. I concealed my advancement from the 'World'. I thought it would reveal me to all the [Analyze] holders. So, I decided to conceal it." said Angus.

"Conceal it?! How did you do it?" asked Gilford in interest.

"Not too hard. My body is not the only thing I have absolute control over. It is also my mind. When I decide to conceal it, I just conceal it and not let it be found by 'World'." explained Angus.

"Hmm… Interesting. When is this happening?" asked Gilford.

"Not too long ago. During my trip in the Nirvas." replied Angus honestly.

"When is your first threshold advancement? Did you have a tip for me?" asked Gilford shamelessly.

"I advance directly to the second threshold with having the first. Honestly, I also surprised myself since I didn't do anything and just did a simple meditation to rest my mind like usual after a long hard work." said Angus.

"You what?! Perhaps… Is it because you get guidance from these experts?" asked Gilford.

"I doubt it is that easy. At that time, I just realized the whole world may have a massive complex rune work or something similar and the true potential to use [Analyze]."

"All this time, I use it to understand things better. But, an expert is trying to tell me I could do more than just use it to understand something." added Angus.

"When you completely understand something, you can technically control it. Isn't that it?" continued Gilford.

"Yes. It is also why I try to conceal the news of my advancement." said Angus.

"Urgh… As expected of the top Ancient Power. It is a very ambiguous concept that even if we both have the same conclusion and knowledge, it still leads to different results. So, did you get some kind of new ability?" asked Gilford excitedly.

"Nope. To be exact, I couldn't use the new ability without fear of getting noticed by 'World'." replied Angus.
