From the Terminator wikipedia. 

Quote:
Skynet is a fictional neural net-based conscious group mind and artificial general intelligence (see also superintelligence) system that features centrally in the Terminator franchise and serves as the franchise's main and true antagonist.

Rarely depicted visually in any of the Terminator media, Skynet gained self-awareness after it had spread into millions of computer servers all across the world; realizing the extent of its abilities, its creators tried to deactivate it. In the interest of self-preservation, Skynet concluded that all of humanity would attempt to destroy it and impede its capability in safeguarding the world. Its operations are almost exclusively performed by serversmobile devicesdronesmilitary satelliteswar-machines, androids and cyborgs (usually a terminator), and other computer systems. As a programming directive, Skynet's manifestation is that of an overarching, global, artificial intelligence hierarchy (AI takeover), which seeks to exterminate the human race in order to fulfill the mandates of its original coding.

I took it as him wanting a story where the LitRPG's main character had some sort of evolving hive-mind like power. To grow, to adapt, to become a legion. 

The mix of a supercomputer's mind mixed with a leveling system from LitRPG's could be interesting, to say the least. It would solely depend on the author's ability to adapt the idea without doing it a dishonor, something I'm not confident in myself.
