What they didn't know was that every move they made in the game would truly affect both history and reality.

Chapter 1: The Order Restorer

"Clatter."

The hardcover notebook was opened.

The handwriting on it was densely packed. The content at the beginning was written very clearly and neatly, but the further it went, the messier the content became, and the handwriting gradually turned sloppy.

It seemed as if the author's mental state was deteriorating as well.

Henry Clark looked at the first page.

"Order Restorer's Notes"

"The true face of this world is not as friendly, warm, and beautiful as it appears.

"Since ancient times, humans and demons have been locked in a brutal war. Although humanity emerged victorious, the demons were never completely eradicated.

"They hide within the past, ready to make a comeback at any moment!

"They will do everything possible to twist people's memories of history, and once the time is right, they will use specific historical snapshots as a springboard to invade our world.

"As an Order Restorer, I must do everything I can to stop this from happening!"

After reading the first page, Henry Clark said sympathetically, "Maybe I can guess the cause of the original owner's death.

"Living in such severe delusions for a long time, it's really hard to maintain a healthy mental state.

"Brother, just rest in peace. I'll live the rest of your life for you. Can't promise riches and glory, but I'll try to at least die a natural death."

That's right, Henry Clark was a transmigrator. He had just reluctantly said goodbye to his previous life and was barely coming to terms with the fact that he had crossed over.

After arriving, Henry Clark had already gained some understanding of his current situation.

This world looked very similar to his previous one, but the biggest difference was that the history was completely different—dynasties, historical figures, major events, all seemed familiar yet off.

Upon discovering this, Henry Clark tried to learn some of this world's history, but quickly went from beginner to giving up.

He comforted himself, thinking it was just not knowing the history of this world. Other than sometimes feeling like an illiterate, it didn't seem to matter much.

In addition, the development of virtual reality games in this world was very rapid. Currently, there was already consciousness-linking VR technology with about 50% realism.

For a gaming enthusiast like Henry Clark, this was fantastic news. It was just that the original owner didn't have any such gaming equipment at home, so he hadn't had a chance to try it yet.

This puzzled Henry Clark a bit. By all accounts, the original owner's living conditions were pretty good and he didn't seem short on money, so why hadn't he bought a gaming helmet to play?

Henry Clark hadn't inherited the original owner's memories, but it wasn't a big problem.

Because the original owner was a loner, living alone, with no family or friends, and almost no social connections. He died at home for a whole day before anyone noticed.

Luckily, Henry Clark transmigrated in time, or else the body would have started to rot.

Judging from this notebook, the original owner probably had severe paranoia, so suicide wasn't all that surprising.

Henry Clark flipped to the last page of the notebook.

The handwriting here was already very messy, and only parts of the content could be made out.

"As an Order Restorer, my strength alone is still too weak...

"The demons have become completely different from before...

"...The situation is already very critical, everyone must know!

"Using the Order Restorer's ability, tomorrow I'll post the contents of the notebook to the front page of all the world's news and social media sites...

"I don't know if this will work... but it seems there's no other choice..."

The notebook ended here, as if the original owner's mind was on the verge of collapse.

Henry Clark put the notebook away and returned it to its original place.

He didn't take it seriously. The things recorded in the notebook were too bizarre, no different from the delusions of a mental patient.

But just then, his phone chimed with a "ding"—a news notification.

Henry Clark glanced at it. It seemed to be a short message.

"Hmm?"

He hadn't paid much attention at first, but when he opened it and looked closely, his expression instantly froze.

Because it was exactly the content from the first page of the "Order Restorer's Notes"!

Only now, this content was posted on the homepage of Tomorrow's Headlines, the largest domestic news app, and a notification had been sent to all users!

Henry Clark was stunned, even starting to wonder if he, like the original owner, had gone insane.
