“Doesn’t that mean you have absolutely no qualifications to become an Orderbringer?”

“…This world is finished, let it be destroyed.”

The little girl was very frustrated, and Henry Clark was even more so.

What happened to the Chosen One script?

I got stuck with a loser-protagonist opening, seriously?!

But even loser-protagonist leads usually have an old master to guide them. I don’t have an old master, just a little girl. What’s worse, this little girl doesn’t seem reliable at all—she can’t help me get stronger!

The two of them looked at each other in silence.

After a moment, Henry Clark’s eyes suddenly lit up. He thought outside the box and came up with a new idea.

“Tell me, is there a possibility—

“That is… I could trick talented people from the real world into helping me fulfill the Orderbringer’s mission?”

Brian Clark was a bit surprised. “You want people from the real world to help you fulfill the Orderbringer’s mission?

“Well…

“As an Orderbringer, you can indeed share your power with people from the real world.

“In the past, there have been Orderbringers who entered historical slices together with assistants.”

“But the key problem is, fighting demons requires extremely strong willpower. Ordinary people simply can’t handle it.”

Henry Clark was a bit surprised. “There should be quite a few ordinary people with strong willpower, right?”

Brian Clark shook her head. “What you understand as ‘strong willpower’ isn’t the same thing.

“Demons are a special kind of existence. They subtly influence people’s minds. All the negative emotions in a person’s heart—avoidance, fear, self-blame, guilt, and so on—will be constantly amplified.

“When ordinary people realize that their every move could determine the fate of humanity, it’s very hard to stay rational for long.

“The reason Orderbringers can remain rational is because they’re protected by special abilities and aren’t affected.”

Brian Clark raised some very sharp questions.

It seemed that all previous Orderbringers chose to roll up their sleeves and face the demons head-on themselves, rarely seeking help, and there was a reason for that.

But Henry Clark simply didn’t have that option now.

With his current weak fighting ability, even with the Orderbringer’s powers, he probably couldn’t use even a tenth of them. Entering a historical slice would just be serving himself up to the demons!

What’s more, in seven days, demons might appear in the real world. Time was running out.

Getting ordinary people to help was indeed fraught with difficulties, but right now it was Henry Clark’s only available solution.

He pondered for a moment. “Then… what if ordinary people don’t even know they’re fighting demons?”

Brian Clark was stunned for a moment, as if she’d never considered this possibility before.

After a while, she said, “That could work. If they don’t know they’re facing demons, there won’t be as many negative emotions, and the demons would have a hard time amplifying them…

“But how would you do that?

“Ordinary people entering historical slices so different from reality, even fighting demons directly—how could they not know what they’re doing?

“Besides, the Orderbringer business has already been exposed in the real world. In seven days, all of this will be verified.

“Are you planning to erase the memories of everyone involved? That’s not something you or I, in our current weakened state, could possibly do.”

Henry Clark shook his head. “No need to erase their memories. Just cleverly guide them in another direction, and that’s enough.

“You know… virtual reality games?”

Brian Clark didn’t answer immediately, as if she was searching for information through some means.

After a moment, she said, “It’s a form of entertainment that simulates the real world?”

Henry Clark nodded. “That’s right. Package the Orderbringer’s trial as a tutorial instance in a virtual reality game, and package the historical slices as game levels.

“This way, as long as they all think they’re playing a game, they won’t be afraid, and there won’t be too many negative emotions. The demons naturally won’t be able to influence them.

“As for the previously released information about the Orderbringer…

“That can be used as promotional material for the game.”

A look of confusion appeared on Brian Clark’s little face. “I don’t really get it, but from the perspective of the Orderbringer’s abilities, it’s doable. And you seem pretty confident.”

Henry Clark said, “The only problem is, will these people be in danger after entering the historical slices? If they die in the historical slice, what happens?”

Brian Clark replied confidently, “Nothing will happen, because you’re the only one who truly has the ability to traverse historical slices. Even if you bring others in, their souls are deeply bound to your ability.

“Even if you die, their souls will just return to reality under the protection of the Orderbringer’s power. They’ll be fine.

“The only one in real danger is you.”

Henry Clark nodded. “Alright, that puts my mind at ease. But why do I still feel a bit uneasy for some reason…”

“Time is short. What do you need me to do next?” Brian Clark asked.

Henry Clark thought for a moment. “Let’s start by packaging and promoting the game.

“The packaged game needs to be listed in the virtual reality device’s game store. That’s the only way to fool most players.

“Can you do that?”
