As Brian's voice fell, a star came to a halt in front of him from top to bottom, passing through the magnificent and mysterious palace, glittering with a strange light.

The stars are beautiful and gorgeous, attracting Brian's attention, which also relieves his headaches.

He casually reached out and touched the stars, and the light of the stars rippled out, forming an oval picture.

The picture is a world without the sun and moon, and the most natural light is the lightning that constantly roars in the night sky.

The lightning was like the wrath of the gods, and it was like a gift from the gods.

"What is this?"

As Brian struggles with his headache and doubts, the scene slowly pans down, focusing on the center of a settlement.

There, many strangely dressed, deformed, and white-clothed humans held torches in a circle.

In the circle, an old man with gray hair, a wrinkled face, and even more eccentric clothes, is shaking a small old bell in his left hand, and holding a cane made of a sheep's skull in his right hand, and constantly dancing around a pattern.

The pattern is intricate, and it probably looks like it is made up of vertical pupils, round wheels, and countless twisted lines.

After the old man finished the dance, he knelt on the ground with a "bang", opened his hands and shouted to the sky:

"Thy devout believers pray for thy bounty, and give us the rain that revives all things;

Give us the strength to fight against evil;

Please grant us eternal light......"

The old man was full of emotion, and said a lot in a row, so that Brian was at a loss when he heard it.

They seem to be performing some kind of ritual in the hope of God's help, but why can I see it?

As a young man in the new era, Brian has been "surfing" the Internet for a long time, he has seen everything, heard everything, and belongs to the type that knows a little bit, but is not proficient.

After thinking about it for a while, Brian had a bold conjecture.

That is, the god of ritual invocation, and the great Lord of the word, is most likely a being.

And now, for some special reason, the mystical font and those people think that I am God.

But the problem is still the same problem, I'm just an ordinary person who can't be ordinary anymore, I just want to go home......

At this moment, the black font resurfaced on Brian's eyes.

"Great Master, this is a good opportunity, your faithful and humble servant, Halliwell, advises you to give them hope with great divine power."

"In this way, they will believe in you even more, worship you, and you will be able to recover your strength as soon as possible and ascend to the throne of God!"

Is this font teaching me to do things? Brian's face sank, and he recovered quickly.

He's not the kind of person who doesn't want others to say it, but in this case, adding the special words of the font gives him a sense of being seen through.

Calming down, Brian began to parse the meaning of this passage word by word, as he had done in the past for reading comprehension.

Giving hope with divine power...... More Faith and Worship...... Recover your strength as soon as possible......

If the font knows that I don't have strength, or that it's normal to have no strength, then acting like an ordinary person in terms of strength shouldn't raise suspicion.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the font has seen everything, but still acquiesces that I am the great Lord.

Thinking of this, Brian didn't stop thinking and continued to decipher.

Grant hope, gain worship, and restore strength to ascend to the throne...... These three are directly related in the mouth of the font.

So, if I find a way to gain worship, I will be able to master the power of transcending nature and return to my hometown?

After all, judging by everything that is happening now, I am about equal to the Great Being.

This speculation seems shameless, but there is really no problem.

As he pondered, Brian touched his chin with one hand and looked serious.

But the question is, now that I don't have the strength, how can I give hope?

Suddenly, the font appeared:

"Great master, have you forgotten what you have prepared? There is still the power you have left behind in the starry sky. ”

It's reminding me again. Brian was stunned for a moment, and then thought, "Not only that, but it also sees what I need."

Heh~ Brian chuckled in his heart, sometimes default is a kind of recognition.

Doesn't look like it's going to threaten me.

Then he looked at the dome of the palace, which instantly became transparent, revealing a field of stars in the starry sky.

"There is power in the stars, what can I do to use it?"

Brian muttered to himself, subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed it, and a piece of starlight ignored the obstacles of space, and was caught in his hand and condensed into a stack of cards.

There are 10 cards in total, all of which are beautifully drawn, named, and written to indicate the effect of the cards, just like the usual game cards in modern times.

"Huh?" Brian was stunned for more than ten seconds, never expecting that the mysterious starlight would turn into 10 cards.

Isn't it supposed to be something that transcends common sense?

Confused, Brian took a closer look at the first card in his hand.

The card depicts a warrior in rudimentary armor with the card's name and effects.

Card Name: Player.

Card Effect: After use, you will get a body without a soul, and you can designate a human soul to connect with the body and become a player.

(Note: After the player dies in the body, it takes three days for the body to repair itself before the soul can re-operate the body.) )

Brian's expression became more and more strange as he read the contents of the card.

What does it mean to be a player?

Of course, he knew what it meant to be a player in the traditional sense, but the word appeared here, which seemed extremely inconsistent, and he said he couldn't understand it.

Putting aside his doubts, Brian turned over the next card, which was the player's card.

For duplicate cards, he skips them and makes five player cards in a row, until the sixth card is different.

Card Name: Official Website.

Card Effect: After use, get a computer that can build an official website according to the owner's wishes.

Brian was silent, feeling that things were getting stranger, and he flipped through the next one.

Card Name: Weather.

Card Effect: After use, you can change the weather of an area at will, and cause different effects through different weather for 12 hours.

The next card is also a weather card.

9th street.

Card Name: Teleportation Array.

Card Effect: After use, a teleportation array is instantly built in two different places, and the right to use the teleportation array can be determined.

10th card.

Card Name: Item Teleporter

Card Effect: After use, obtain an item teleporter.

After reading the 10 cards in his hand, a blank piece of paper flew out of it, Brian looked down curiously and grabbed it, picked it up and watched, and saw that the first line of the white paper was written with the words "manual".

"It's ......"

After reading the manual for some time, Brian suddenly had a certain understanding of the role and origin of the cards.

To put it simply, faith can be used to draw cards in addition to restoring strength, and each card has a different role.

"I understand the truth, but it's too abstract......" The corners of Brian's mouth twitched:

"Also, who left this note?"

Suddenly, an old voice interrupted his train of thought.

"Great God, I have been praying for a thousand years! Are you still looking at the land? Please enlighten me and other mortals! A little bit is fine. ”

The voice was directed by the strangely dressed old man with a bell and cane.

After completing the prayer and receiving no response from the gods, he fell to his knees helplessly and reluctantly to the ground and made a final prayer to the gods......

"Millennium......" Brian muttered in a low voice, moved by whether the scene in the picture was real or not, whether what he was experiencing now was a fantasy or not.

"I'm sorry, I can't do much right now, I hope this rain can help you."

As the words fell, Brian raised his hand and tossed it, and a weather card came out of his hand and flew into the screen in front of him.

The card traveled through space and hovered in the night sky directly above the old man, emitting a brief but bright light, which seemed to illuminate the whole world for a while.

Under the light, a large group of human beings saw the so-called light for the first time, and they were all shining with their eyes open, not yet understanding what was happening.

The first to react was their patriarch, the old man in the center of the crowd.

"It's a miracle! What a miracle! The great God has answered us! The old man tensed up excitedly, and shook the cane in his hand with all his might.

"Thank God for his gift!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately knelt down, kept kowtowing and bowing, and even worse, tears flowed from the corners of their eyes.

It's been a thousand years! How can the great God finally respond, and not excite them......

At that moment, the light in the night sky exploded and turned into drops of pure rain, which fell on the rotting ground and the deformed people.

The dirt on the ground was gradually washed away by the rain, revealing the natural loess, and the grass and green shoots arched under the soil, exuding vitality in the darkness.

People who are moistened by the rain not only do not feel cold, but only feel unusually warm all over their bodies.

Then, something magical happened.

The deformities on their bodies, the wounds and ailments left by their lives have been significantly alleviated.

This makes them more serious in their prostrations and more in their faith in the great, mysterious, and ancient God.

Although this is the first response of the great God to prayer......

Inside the magnificent palace, Brian stared intently at the picture. Then he saw the dense starlight drift out of the human body, fly into the infinite sky, enter the palace, and finally merge into the boundless night sky.

"That's faith......"

Looking at everything dreamy in front of him, Brian was a little distracted.

When he came back to his senses and looked at the picture again, he saw that the people in the backward gathering place were still bowing and bowing, and there was no sign of stopping.

Offering the help he could at the moment, Brian stopped looking at the scene and stepped up the steps and sat back in his high-backed chair.

And at this time, the picture changed into the original star, passed through the dome of the palace, and returned to the starry sky.

Brian looked up, the dome of the palace seemed to be absent in his eyes, and he could directly see the bright stars, and the faint faith on the edge of the stars.

Through the note, who doesn't know who left it, Brian learns that faith can be used to draw cards and restore strength.

I already know the gacha, so how do I recover my strength?

In other words, how can I use my faith to gain strength beyond ordinary people?

Now Brian can't find a way to go back, so he has to take a step at a time here.

Unable to think of how to gain power in a short period of time, Brian was no longer entangled, and his eyes fell on the remaining 9 cards.

Remembering the introduction in the manual, he pulled out the official website card and threw it out, and the card instantly transformed into a computer with complete accessories in front of the high-backed chair.

Looking at the computer that appeared out of thin air in front of him, Brian was in a trance, because this computer was exactly the same as the computer in his hometown, and even the traces of use were not bad at all.

Then a question came to his mind.

The computer is out of power and there is no internet here, can it be used?

With the mentality of giving it a try, Brian pressed the computer switch and heard the familiar sound of booting.

In addition to this, he also saw advertisements for computer brands on the screen.

"What is this?"

Brian has thought about computers being able to use them, after all, nothing is normal in everything that is happening now, but this ad is too hell!

After complaining, Brian didn't think much about it, but checked the network status of the computer, and unexpectedly, the network speed was fast.

Then he clicked on the chat app on the monitor, ready to choose four players from familiar netizens.

The manual makes it clear that someone has packaged this dangerous and mysterious world as a game, and the player card is like a place in the game's closed beta.

As for the reason why there are only four players who have five player cards, the simple reason is that Brian wants to participate in the same way.

"Who should you choose?" Brian muttered and clicked on the netizen group where he used to paddle and bubble, but later rarely appeared because of work.

He has no family, and his friends are all classmates when he was in school, whether they are in junior high school, high school, or college, they have no contact after graduation.

It's better not to disturb each other.

As for the colleagues in the company, in his heart, he can't even compare to the netizens he has never met.

"Let me think, how do I get to the point?"

Looking at the bizarre group chats on the screen, Brian fell into deep thought.

It didn't take long for him to come up with an idea.

That is, first establish an official website of the game, and then post the link to the official website in the group to seduce netizens with strong curiosity.

Oh, no. It should be an appointment to draw a place.

Brian didn't learn programming, so he naturally couldn't make a website, and he didn't even understand the principles of it, but none of this affected it, because this unusual computer could build an official website according to his imagination.

Soon, Brian figured out how to make an official website.

"What do you want?"

Brian has seen many official websites, or pre-registration interfaces, and they are all similar, nothing more than drawing pictures related to the game and recording information related to the game.

But he doesn't know anything about this "game", so how should he arrange the pictures and materials?

Brian was tangled, and a black font appeared in front of his eyes:

"Great master, I think you will be a humble servant Halliwell, who can help you solve this little trouble without your own hands."

Brian was stunned, and a little uncomfortable with Halliwell's presence. But after knowing something, he was no longer so afraid of the mysterious font.

"Oh, what are you going to do?"

"Great master, please wait." The font changes and then quickly dissipates.

Brian saw that the official website interface on the computer went from nothing, and slowly appeared several different beautiful character portraits, which were the classic images of warriors and archers in the game.

The characters are arranged in an orderly manner, which is very aesthetic, leaving the middle part of the official website interface empty.

Now Brian just needs to add a background, think of a name for the game, and set up the process of booking the game.

However, Brian did not rush to make up for this, but carefully looked at the standing drawings of the characters, trying to guess the content of the game, or more accurately, the situation of the world.

But the profession of such a popular as warriors and archers is not visible at all.

He had no choice but to give up and continue to make the official website.

The background of the official website Brian thought the fastest, that is, it was raining heavily in the dark, and lightning sounded, and whenever the lightning shone, he could faintly see the tribe hidden in the darkness.

Well, it feels like that.

Press down is the name of the game, what should I choose?

For a while, Brian was stuck in progress by the name of the game, and finally came up with the name "Divine Protection".

It's not a stunning name, it's not as bad as it seems, it's decent, and it's barely acceptable......

Well, Brian admits that he's a nounc.

Finally, there is the pre-registration process for the game, and Brian is going to design some questions to get the player's home address and name.

It wasn't what Brian wanted to do, it was the need for the player's card, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to determine which soul had entered the physical body......

After setting up a few questions, Brian also wanted to write some promotional slogans, which can be regarded as standard for the game's pre-order interface.

What should I write about?

The tagline should be related to the content of the game, but what is the content of the game?

"Halliwell."

Hearing the call, the font immediately appears:

"Great master, what can your faithful and humble servant do to you?"

"Do you know how the game works?"

Brian asked this because Harriwell had previously told him that there was power stored in the stars, and the other party apparently had some understanding of the plan to package the world into a game.

"Great master, as your most trusted servant, you told me your plan before you fell asleep to prevent accidents from happening, so that I could guide you when you returned."

Brian was silent.

This guy knows that I don't know anything for a long time, but he doesn't say anything.

Also, there is an important message hidden in this passage, that is, I may really be a so-called great being, but I have lost my memory and power, which makes me no different from ordinary people.

Hehe~ Brian laughed at himself in his heart.

Whether this conjecture is true or not, it does not affect his current situation. There is no doubt that he is now a real ordinary person.

Brian leaned back against the stone chair, and after knowing that Halliwell was a role similar to a novice guide, the only remaining worry in his heart completely disappeared, and the whole person relaxed.

"Let's talk about it."

"Yes, great master." Halliwell began to describe the game's plan in words.

"Before falling asleep, you predicted the fall of the continent and devised this plan to make the player your new anchor, offering faith and helping you return to godhood."

"Not only that, but you've also planned for players to rescue the oppressed populace of the Church of the Outer Gods, and spread your name across the continent......"

Brian nodded, and after Halliwell's words, he completely understood the main line of this game, which is to overthrow evil and save the world.

It's a cliché, but Brian believes that no one would reject a real magical world.

Suddenly inspired, Brian typed this line on the game interface:

"The world has been invaded by external gods, and the continent has fallen into long-term oppression, an ancient god has awakened, summoned the brave of the other world, and swept away all darkness and evil, come and make an appointment to become a prepared brave!"

Stopping to type on the keyboard, Brian's face turned a little red, and his shame was about to explode.

But considering his limited abilities, he didn't choose to revise the copy, but just acquiesced.

Because his aesthetic is there, no matter how he modifies it or struggles, he can't avoid a similar embarrassing situation.

"Alas~" With a long sigh, Brian asked again:

"Halliwell, where do you think the game should start?"

"Great master, your loyal and humble servant, Halliwell, advises you to consider that backward tribe as a novice village."

"You know quite a lot, even the novice village." Brian couldn't help but complain, and then thought about the feasibility of this solution.

Five weak chickens with no strength suddenly descended on a tribe, saying that they were the messengers of the gods, which disobeyed the peace and damaged the majesty of the gods.

The correct idea should be to let the player develop on their own, and wait until a certain point before letting the player intersect with the tribe.

So, where to choose as the starting point for development, this is the question......
