The Author's POV

Opening his eyes wide, Kevin exclaimed in disbelief.

"You're planning on starting a war!?"

Putting my finger on my lips as I gestured for Kevin to quiet down, I shook my head.

"...no, don't misunderstand. The war was always going to happen regardless of past, present, and future"

"All I'm doing is just pushing up the date of when the war will happen"

Frowning, after a bit of thought, Kevin nodded his head.

"...I guess you're right"

Judging from what he saw the past few days, it did indeed seem like a war was inevitable.

From the way that the orcs desperately sought food every day in order to survive, to how they were forced to live in a completely desolate place.

...A war was indeed inevitable.

"Yeah..."

Staring at Kevin who seemed to have bought what I said, I secretly shook my head.

Naive.

Actually, what I said was total bullshit.

...The war that seemed to be fast approaching will never happen.

In the novel, a couple of years from now, by the time Kevin arrived in Immorra, the war that was supposed to happen never happened.

...in fact, when he arrived, the situation in Immorra was vastly different compared to now as the orcs conquered back forty percent of the land in Immorra.

The reason for how the orcs were able to reclaim the land was mostly due to the fact that the demons were forced to send some of their forces away due to a certain event happening in the near future...which could more or less be linked to Kevin being the source.

That aside, the war that seemed to be looming over this world was never going to happen.

...but Kevin didn't need to know this fact.

Had he known that we were going to start a war that was never going to happen, Kevin would've probably never have agreed to my plans.

I guess it was just against his morals as someone who had a hero complex...but I honestly didn't care.

To me, aside from the people close to me, nothing else mattered.

...If I had to start a war in order to achieve my goals then so be it.

I'll make it happen.

Especially since my goal was to infiltrate, Setin. The city that once used to be the capital of Immorra, and was now under the demon's rule.

Going to Setin was a must as everything that I wanted was there.

Be it mind breaker curse cure, the flute of Artemis, Angelica's item, and a few other things I wanted...everything was located there.

By starting a war I was essentially trying to divert the demon's attention away from that city so that I could sneak in and take everything that I wanted when the stronger demons were out fighting.

...and once I took everything, I didn't need to look for ways to escape as I would have Kevin directly create a portal back to earth in order to escape.

Knowing this, I knew that all I needed to do was sneak into the city.
