CHAPTER 11 The problem of the Omniverse

After analyzing his abilities, Daniel began to check the other functions of the system and compare them with his new information.

Daniel was fascinated as he discovered various items, abilities, and talents he recognized from anime and series.

But his perception drastically changed since becoming the librarian. Now he knew these were not mere fictions, but real events that had taken place in different realities.

He began to analyze the new information he had obtained.

The universal library captures significant events from each reality and imparts that knowledge to the worthy, known as "Authors." These Authors received these revelations to incorporate into their own creations.

Realities were like vast sets of interconnected universes, governed by their unique rules and designs. Take, for example, the Marvel reality. Within it existed countless universes, each with its own protagonists and intertwined destinies.

Loki, the cunning Norse god, could interact with multiple versions of himself in different universes, but an insurmountable barrier separates the "Loki" of the Marvel universe from the "Loki" of the Danmachi universe.

These realities were strictly segregated. Only a few divine or conscious beings knew of their existence, and only a handful of privileged ones could breach interdimensional barriers to interact with other realities.

However, something concerning was happening: individuals who shouldn't have access to this power were beginning to break the rules.

Firstly, in worlds of magic and fantasy, there was a peculiar custom of summoning individuals from smaller, less powerful realities when their inhabitants faced dire problems.

These outsiders typically adapted to their new environment and, at the end of their adventures, returned to their original reality or settled down in that world. They weren't a real threat to the grand scheme of things. Especially when the worlds seeking aid were in their initial rounds and their destinies weren't fully forged.

Secondly, some unfortunate children with tragic destinies, whose lives were observed by benevolent gods aware of the realities, received a second chance. They were granted new lives in a fantasy world or their preferred anime. The problem arose when these gods, excessively moved by the suffering of these individuals, allowed them to travel across multiple realities.

While most of them were kind or harmless people, interacting with other realities with already established destinies altered the fate of an entire universe. This bred resentment and hatred in the affected realities, jeopardizing multiverse stability.

A funny fact was that to prevent the latter, all-powerful gods simply copied a specific universe or world and placed people there, avoiding many problems. Just like Kaguya in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

But the real issues lay with two groups: system users and excessively bored and greedy gods. System users were anomalies that shouldn't exist in any universe. They stole opportunities and good fortune from protagonists, endangering reality itself. If their actions were limited to alternate timelines, the damage would be minor, but when they intervened in the central universe of a reality, the consequences could be catastrophic.

Even more troubling was the growth in the number of system users who had discovered the existence of other realities. They embarked on dimensional plunder, believing themselves to be protagonists in every universe and disregarding the dire consequences of their actions.

On the other hand, some gods, afflicted by arrogance and greed, saw themselves as the center of the universe. Upon discovering other realities, they sought to seize everything in their path. This reckless ambition often led to the destruction of the realities they encountered. It was mainly the outer gods causing havoc since their sanity was questionable, and their encounters with counterparts in other realities triggered mutual destruction of universes.

The fate of the universal librarian stands as a guardian of realities, defending their integrity with vast knowledge and power.

However, this responsibility doesn't align with Daniel's inclination, who embraces a much more personal and capricious ideology. For him, aggression is a response to threat or, at times, a choice driven by the moment's amusement.

In his role as the librarian, he possesses a series of advantages that allow him to strengthen his position. The most apparent one is limitless access to information. The omniversal library is a concept that amalgamates multiple facets. At its core, it's a "center for the collection and organization of information," a seemingly ambiguous yet fundamental definition that shapes this immense entity.

It has the ability to know the destinies of realities and their foreseen futures, the secrets zealously guarded by the most enigmatic and dangerous organizations, all revealed through the simplest narratives. After all, the library's information is gathered from all perspectives.

Another advantage he enjoys is conceptual immortality. The fusion of his soul with the library grants him unique invulnerability: he can only be eradicated by an attack capable of destroying all realities simultaneously.

No entity recorded in the library's archives possesses information about a being with such power. However, Daniel wasn't going to rest easy with that. The gods of realities believe they are the pinnacle of existence.

The fact that such an entity isn't registered in the library doesn't mean it can't exist. One should never forget that there can always be something greater than oneself. As the Chinese proverb commonly used in cliché manhuas goes: "You're just a frog in a well."

An additional opportunity emerges in the form of simulations, a facet specially designed for Kang.
