This was the turning point!
One of Legolas's professions in his previous life was that he trained as a martial artist. This gave him a good physique, he was strong but this was not his real passion, his real passion was still for his intellectual professions.
He also pursued careers as a Zoologist and a Game Developer.
As a Zoologist, his curiosity for wildlife and beasts was satisfied. He was exposed to so many wonders of the wild that he wanted to replicate them, at least if not in reality but through a virtual world.
This was what pushed him into pursuing a career as a Game Developer.
During the programming and development of Dominator, he became an important consultant of the company. With his knowledge about beasts, he featured extensively in the design of the Summoner main class.
Through this, he was able to flex much of his knowledge and fantasies.
