Reincarnated in a Fantasy World Where I Can Conquer All Women

”Apparently, technological data.”

Vespera moved closer.

”Which ones?”

Adam looked at the last line.

”It mentions a network, but it needs to be activated to be sure.”

He hesitated for a second.

Then:

”Okay.”

He concentrated a small amount of mana in his hand.

The mana entered the blade.

The purple lines immediately lit up.

Adam felt a slight pull.

Not physical.

Mental.

Then—

Everything vanished.

When he opened his eyes again...

Adam was standing.

But not in the Bridal Chamber.

Around him...

White.

Everywhere.

White floor.

White walls.

White ceiling.

A vast room stretched in all directions.

Adam looked at his hands.

”A mental interface.”

He knew he hadn’t actually been transported.

His body was still in the Chamber.

But his consciousness had just been connected to the archive.

Then he saw the shelves.

Thousands of them.

Perhaps more.

They gradually appeared in the white space.

And on each one...

Books.

Adam approached.

The titles were perfectly understandable.

As if the archive automatically adapted their content to his mind.

He took the first one.

Fundamental Principles of Mana Transmission.

A second one.

Signal Propagation in Elemental Currents.

A third one.

Terrestrial Transmission.

A fourth one.

Atmospheric Transmission.

Then:

Water transmission.

Adam froze.

His expression changed.

”Wait...”

He quickly opened one of the books.

The information entered his mind almost immediately in a form he could understand.

Theory.

Diagrams.

Principles.

Magical structures.

Coding methods.

Transmission.

Reception.

Amplification.

Repetition.

Filtering.

Synchronization.

Adam quickly flipped through several pages.

Then took another work.

And one more.

The more he advanced...

The more his pace increased.

”No...”

A smile began to appear.

” Seriously ? »

He opened the book devoted to terrestrial transmission.

The general principle was relatively simple.

Use mana with an affinity for earth as a propagation medium.

A structured magical pulse could be injected into an earth network.

Then detected elsewhere thanks to a device tuned to the same characteristics.

Adam switched to the atmospheric method.

This time...

Wind-type mana.

Magical currents in the atmosphere could carry signals over great distances.

Not just an impulse.

Sequences.

Structured information.

Then the third method.

Water.

The mana associated with the Water element could transmit information through water masses and networks.

Rivers.

Lakes.

Channels.

Underground water tables.

And much more depending on the system configuration.

Adam slowly put down the book.

His mind was already working at full speed.

”Network...”

The word finally made sense.

It was exactly what they needed.

Ever since he had started thinking about a magical version of the networks of his old world, one problem kept recurring.

How to transmit information?

Creating a device capable of processing data was one thing.

Creating a local network was another.

But connecting cities?

Duchies?

Kingdoms?

Across hundreds or thousands of kilometers?

That was the real obstacle.

And now...

He had before him a civilization that had already solved the problem.

In three different ways.

Adam began scanning the shelves much more quickly.

Signal encoding.

Magical repeaters.

Reduced transmission loss.

Destination identification.

Multi-node networks.

Error correction.

Synchronization of data streams.

Simultaneous transmission.

Data prioritization.

Adam stood motionless before this last title.

”You already had all that...”

He continued.

An hour could have passed.

Or only a few minutes.

In that mental space, he had no idea.

But one thing was becoming clear.

This technology was incredibly advanced.

In some respects...

More advanced than anything he knew on Earth.

Not necessarily because the ancients possessed something exactly like modern computers.

But because their mastery of mana allowed them to use the environment itself as a transmission infrastructure.

The earth.

The air.

Water.

Three gigantic natural networks.

Adam stopped.

Then he noticed something strange.

He went back to the historical documents.

Looked for examples of its use.

And frowned.

”What?”

He reread.

Alert messages.

Simple military orders.

Trigger signals.

Remote activation of devices.

Short-circuit communications between facilities.

Adam opened another document.

Same thing.

Then a third.

Again.

He began to understand.

”You had this technology...”

He looked around.

Thousands of books.

”But you hardly used it.”

Technically...

The ancients had created something extraordinary.

But they seemed to have viewed it primarily as a means of sending signals.

A command.

An alert.

A small amount of information.

Not as a global infrastructure capable of connecting millions of users.

They had discovered the principle.

And greatly improved the fundamental technology.

But they never pushed its use in the direction Adam knew.

No social network.

No gigantic, publicly accessible databases.

No global search systems.

No ubiquitous messaging for every inhabitant.

Not the immense ecosystem a network could become.

Adam felt his enthusiasm grow.

”They built the roads...”

A smile appeared.

”But they never built the cities around them.”

That’s the difference.

On Earth...

Transmission technology had evolved for decades around the need to connect ever more machines and people.

Here...

This ancient civilization had found magical methods that, in some areas, far surpassed what Adam knew.

But it had apparently never had the same vision of what a global information network could become.

Adam looked at the libraries.

His smile widened even more.

”It’s perfect.” »

He didn’t need to invent transmission.

It already existed.

He didn’t need to solve the problems of distance alone.

They were already documented.

He didn’t need to start from scratch.

What he had to do...

was combine two worlds.

The extremely advanced magical technologies of this civilization.

And Earth’s computer network concepts.

Distributed architecture.

Addressing.

Servers.

Terminals.

Protocols.

Search.

Messaging.

Data sharing.

And much more.

Adam closed the book he was holding.

”Okay.”

He had seen enough to understand the importance of what he had just obtained.

He could read the rest later.

Much later.

Probably for weeks.

Even months.

He simply thought:

Get out.

The white room vanished.

Adam’s eyes snapped open.

He was sitting in the Bridal Chamber again.

The black blade was still in his hand.

The purple lines pulsed slowly.

He inhaled.

Then he immediately raised his head.

His expression must have been particularly obvious.

Because all the women were staring at him.

Adam opened his mouth.

He tried to speak calmly.

He failed completely.

”We found it.”

He practically jumped to his feet.

”We really found exactly what we needed!”

He raised the black blade.

”This thing is a database!”

He immediately began walking in front of them.

”It contains an entire technology dedicated to networks and the transmission of information via mana.”

He raised a finger.

”Transmission through the earth using Earth-type mana.”

A second.

”Transmission through the atmosphere with Wind-type mana.”

A third.

”And transmission through water with Water-type mana.”

Adam spoke faster and faster.

”Not just sending a pulse. They know how to encode information, transmit it over long distances, use relays, correct for losses, synchronize multiple signals, and connect multiple points in a single network.”

He looked at Elaria.

Then Vespera.

Then Shiora.

Then the others.

”Their fundamental technology is even more advanced than many transmission systems I knew of on Earth.”

He lightly gripped the blade.

”But they never understood what they truly had in their hands.” ”

Adam was now smiling broadly.

”They mainly used it to send simple signals, orders, alerts, or to control certain devices remotely.”

He pointed to his own head.

”They had already created almost all the infrastructure we need.”

Then he opened his arms slightly.

”What they were missing...”

His smile widened even further.

”That was the idea of ??the internet.”
