The reason why Zen was able to access the internet without being in society was because of the mana stones.
The mana stones generate a lot of power, especially that Tiered 2 mana beast stone he acquired from the auction.
Zen had a device that could extract the energy of the mana stone as a power source. Which was then used to connect to a satellite dish, which allowed him to connect to the ARPANET.
ARPANET was a network also developed by the Pontiac Academy. It was a global networking system connecting billions of computers and other devices together. It was used by every living being on the Pontiac Planet.
This is also the reason why the Academy was so famous. Other continents also send their children to Pontiac Academy for their studies. As this was the only place where they could learn so much, such as technology, architecture, alchemy, weapon creation, etc… But the main studies were still Magic and Swords.

Zen had woken up from his slumber, and was currently doing his morning routine. He took a quick shower, brushed his teeth, and ate.
After quickly finishing his food, he was about to go play some games when suddenly a robotic voice sounded in his mind.
▼🄳🄴🅂🅃🄸🄽🅈 🅂🅈🅂🅃🄴🄼▼
"Destiny System has been updated to 2.0"
"Congratulations for obtaining the family treasure of the Velart Family"
"You have been rewarded a Tiered S ship and 100 coins"
Zen had been wondering where this system had went to as he had not heard it when he obtained the treasure that Edward was supposed to get.
It turned out that it was updating.
He went outside and summoned the ship, which had a red center and an articulated wing with a gradient color of black and grey. The ship was also equipped with S grade weaponry and had a level 7 defense. This ship was pretty much capable of destroying a single country.
The Tier B ship he was using could not even compare to this ship.
(I put a picture of what the ship looks like in the comment)
Zen said with a smile. "As expected of the system always giving such broken rewards. But I remember that all I have been given so far are just skills and such. What's with the sudden change? It should be because of the update huh."
He thought 'status' and a bluish transparent screen appeared showing the changes of the update and his status.

"Hmmm so it really is because of the update interesting. I'm looking forward to being rewarded the armors to be honest." He said.
After checking all those things. He closed the windows and decided that instead of just playing games. He will stream to the internet while playing.
He turned on his computer, opened Twittogram to start the stream, and decided to play a game called PUBG.
It was a game in which up to one hundred players fought in a battle royale, a type of large-scale last man standing deathmatch where players fought to remain the last alive. Players can choose to enter the match solo, duo, or with a small team of up to four people.
Once he started his stream, countless people instantly entered it.
[Twittogram is Twitter, Instagram, Twitch, and YouTube combined.]
In an Internet cafe located in Tranquil City, a place where people usually go to access computers with the internet. A hangout area for gamers.
A random individual was randomly scrolling through Twittogram, but suddenly he was notified that the user @Zenryxxx had started streaming.
He stood up and screamed in shock.
People saw this and frowned, but suddenly he showed them his phone screen and said in a loud voice, "Look! Zenryx Raverdieu is playing PUBG and streaming!"
The crowd heard this, and they instantly turned their phones on to check.
One person said, "He's right, look, look! I did not know this guy also played games! I thought all he knew was to train, and that was how he was able to get to Advanced rank so quickly.
"But it seems like I was wrong. Hahaha, this guy also has his own hobbies to do for fun, and his taste for games is good too."
The PUBG game was really popular in this world. In fact, if you look at the Twittogram streamer page. All the streamers would be streaming PUBG.
This streamers was also notified by their viewers about the Zenryx stream. They all closed their games and switched screens, entering Zen's stream.
A girl with pink hair and a mask and hat was also in the Internet cafe, sitting down in the corner and playing games.
She was wearing a mask, not wanting to be recognized because she was also a bit popular with a lot of followers on Twittogram.
She heard the commotion and hurriedly got up from her seat to look for Fiona and Celestia. She wanted to go find them and tell them the news about Zen.
This girl was none other than Daphne. She was invited (forced) by Fiona and Celestia to go shopping in the capital.
She did not want to go at all, but then Fiona told her that "If she did not go, she would tell her brother bad things about her." So she reluctantly agreed and went with them, having one of her guards escort her to the capital.
As for how she ended up in this cafe. She did not like shopping at all because it was mentally tiring. So she told Fiona and Celestia that they could just message her once they were done shopping and just meet up where she was currently at.
