Kaidan (Kaidan refers to eerie tales of strange, mysterious, rare, or bewitching ghosts and monsters from Japanese folklore.) feed on cognition, wield information as weapons, and use information as currency, existing between the peculiarities of neither life nor death.
They exist in human rumors and dwell in the shadows of the world.
"Does this mean I will become a Kaidan?"
In ancient times, they were worshipped as deities, empowered by faith.
"Then I am a deity!"
In more recent ancient times, they were regarded as demons and fed on fear.
"I will become the master of Kaidan!"
However, as the tides of time washed over, they gradually vanished, leaving behind only texts considered to be delusions.
"To restore the glory of Kaidan is an undeniable duty of ours."
But you are not yet a Kaidan, hmm, nor a person.
"Well, becoming a Kaidan counts as success."

Feng Xue's so-called discovery was really quite simple when put plainly; the key lay in the attribute "No value" within the Water Skipping Stone.


Although it was unclear whether this attribute arose naturally or was inherent in the coins she crafted, it served as a reminder to Feng Xue—


In essence, coins are supposed to be "valuable."


Whether it's value on a credit level or a metallic level, it is first and foremost recognized as "value," and it is this value that allows it to serve as currency.


Not just currency, even arcade tokens hold value because they represent "something to use for playing games," and the same is true for virtual items in online games.


Especially in this world, where cognition equals power, the rule "what people perceive as valuable actually holds real value" seemed to have been ingrained in the fundamental laws.


In other words, does a coin only truly become valuable when it is recognized as a "valuable" item?
