The Only Player in ‘Child of Stardust’

"The Protean Tool?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned, "Sounds quite impressive."

"Even more impressive than you think."

The Raven said, "Millions of years ago, when human ancestors were still in a very weak era, without powerful strength, sharp claws, or fangs, they were at the bottom of the food chain. They could only rely on climbing trees to pick wild fruits to fill their stomachs and had to constantly avoid attacks from fierce beasts. Even a random heavy rain could severely damage their tribe.

They struggled to survive until one day, an individual within the tribe suddenly had a strong thought in their mind when encountering a wild beast. They tried it and then picked up a stone to throw at the beast."

"In that moment, the world’s first weapon was born. That stone was the original form of the Protean Tool, binding it to the entirety of human civilization."

"After discovering that stones could be used for throwing, with just this single remote attack skill, primitive humans instantly became the top species in the food chain, stepping into a new era.

After that, they gradually learned to walk upright, invented tools, and created more weapons.

Stone clubs, stone hammers, sharp sticks, spears...

and even fire."
