The story starts with Wasabi. Wasabi was born into a family with pure blood back to a nuclear reaction (which resulted in mutations of the people who were present). The mutations can be passed down genetically from parent to child so Wasabi has a lot of accumulated powers and some enhanced ones (say he got his hyper-intelligence because both of his parents shared a common ancestor who had advanced intelligence resulting from the reaction). Wasabi's world was kind of like a medeival world that had exremely advanced technology. The normal humans were afraid of the mutated humans and started a war (actually, it was more like a mass slaughter of the mutants). Wasabi's parents were killed by some soldiers when he was seven. The soldiers took pity on Wasabi and brought him back to a lab where a scientist was developing a machine that could put people into a hyper-sleep until the time that people could accept the mutated population. Nearly seven years later (when Wasabi was 14) the technology was perfected, and Wasabi (along with about 100 other children and adults) were put to sleep. Data is the dream world Wasabi created during his 500-year sleep.

When Wasabi awoke, he discovered that the lab had been discovered by slave dealers (the lab had been forgotten about when the scientist died). The slave dealers were selling the mutants at prices based on their family trees and powers (all of which were stored on a computer database). Wasabi was bought by a rich king who wanted Wasabi, although we aren't sure why. (one of Wasabi's powers is that he can generate wings on his back) (And yes, the advanced world had instant messaging systems, but it was considered to be much more polite to send a messenger.) The king was very disappointed that Wasabi's 500 years in "Data" had made Wasabi forget how to use his powers (along with forgetting his whole past) but fortunately for Wasabi, the king was kind and gave Wasabi comfortable living quarters and lots of time to figure it out. Five years later, the king died, and Wasabi (who was now 19 years old) made a wish to return to his Data. Wasabi's greatest power was used and Wasabi created Data from pure will. His old world was destroyed as it was sucked through the very first elimination process.

But the information that creates matter cannot be destroyed. So the remainder of Wasabi's home world reassembled, but it wasn't the same world that Wasabi had come from anymore. So although the two worlds are created from the same information, the worlds are as different as snowflakes. For the information is impossible to assemble in the same pattern twice.

But then something was missing. Wasabi. Since he had not been destroyed along with the rest of his world his information had not been used in the creation of the next world. So the worlds strain to re-create the information of the child who is missing. But when they do, the worlds are reminded of the elimination process. The only thing that is keeping the elimination process from starting and the worlds from ending is the will of the replacement child. If the replacement child should ever lose the will to stay in their world the elimination process will start and Data will suck the child to Wasabi who, being very antisocial, tells them to go away.

The children in Data can be classified into four groups: light, dark, unknown. No, light and dark don't refer to good and evil, light means that they want their world back, so they pester Wasabi (whom they believe could fix it) and dark means that they don't want their world back and they tend to work against the light children. The unknown children have good reason to both stay in Data and try to return to their home world.

Also, characters in Data never age. It has something to do with Wasabi not liking people dying and also because he doesn't believe that all people are destined to die.

Everything that happens in Data happens in a single moment. The events are only lined up in an order that makes sense because the human mind isn't capable of comprehending time. This doesn't mean that all the worlds exist at the same time. They run on their own normal time.
