Wizards are mighty

"I?"

Vic pointed at himself in confusion.

"That's right."

"As I said before, we are actually all projections of the author in this world in a certain sense."

"Compared to the 'Vic of the future' whose subsequent experiences are unknown, naturally the 'Vic of the past' is more suitable."

"Don't worry, this is not a difficult matter."

"With the favor from a higher narrative level, everything will go smoothly for you."

“The whole world will dance to your will.”

"What's more, we already control everything in this world."

"After the original history has changed, we have actually broken away from the control of the higher narrative level."

"Although our current communication will still be recorded by the 'author' at the high narrative level."

“But in fact, for a moment soon after the world is stopped, everything in the higher narrative level can no longer affect us.”

"In other words, it is another world or some worlds that are spied on and controlled by a higher narrative layer on our behalf."

“Because everything about our world, the information in the higher narrative layers is wrong.”

"By the way, by that time, we will also share those powers with you."

“Without the shackles of a higher narrative layer, that power is no longer something that is difficult to replicate.”

"This can be considered a benefit."

…

"You mean, we will be separated at that time? Each of us will live in our own world?"

After hearing these words, Vic did not reply immediately, but asked this question.

Yes, although the illusory Vic seems to be him in the future.

But since the other party has chosen to interfere in the world at this time, according to the narrative logic revealed by the other party, the multiverse where the two of them live has actually been divided.

This is the impact of observations from a higher narrative level.

"certainly."

The illusory Vic had no intention of hiding anything.

"In the same narrative layer, different worlds actually do not affect each other to a certain extent."

"The reason why I can come into contact with you, or the reason why I can come into contact with you is that I come into contact with you in a 'new world', not myself in the past timeline."

"In fact, it is the result of interference from a higher narrative level."

"In a world that is in the same narrative layer as ours, even if it is aware of the existence of a higher narrative layer, or even has a certain impact on the higher narrative layer through logic, information transmission, etc., it is difficult to directly interfere with other places in the same narrative layer. The world in the narrative layer.”

"The most we can do is just like when we first mastered this power, we can modify our world at will."

"The fact that we can meet each other now is actually an arrangement made by the 'author' at a higher narrative level."

"It was he who split our original world into two worlds."

“Then our world is hidden from us from the influence of higher narrative layers.”

“The fundamental reason is that we are the ‘protagonist’ in this story, his substitute and incarnation in this narrative layer.”

“That’s why we have this privilege.”

The unreal Vic explained patiently.

"Well, then according to your statement, the existence in the higher narrative level actually has omnipotent authority in our narrative level?"

After understanding this logic, the real Vic finally figured out his thinking.

Then asked the illusory Vic.     “Of course not.”

The unreal Vic shrugged.

"To be precise, it is a higher narrative layer that has omnipotent authority over the narrative layer we are in."

"Not the individual we call 'the author'."

"Although he does have this authority as one of the beings in that narrative layer and as the creator of our world."

“But the fact is, that guy is also very constrained in that narrative layer.”

"He is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who will be controlled by others."

"There are many things that even if he saw them, he couldn't write them down."

"For example, I know you feel a little uncomfortable. You feel that your 'game' with the maids will be watched by beings from a higher narrative level, right?"

"Actually, you can rest assured."

"Because that guy can't write it at all, it all just appears in his head."

"If he writes it out, I'm afraid the corresponding existence at a higher narrative level will delete those words, or even arrest him and punish him."

"Then, through repeated experiments, we also learned about various taboo texts in higher narrative layers, as well as some things."

"Well, if you put it this way, the original civilization on earth was really not an accident."

The illusory Vic smacked his lips, seeming to be thinking about something.

"So it wasn't until we kind of clicked with the guy that we figured it out."

"Actually, not all low-narrative-level worlds can know this."

"We have this power to completely control our own narrative layer, and this is what the 'author' allows."

"..."

Then, the imaginary Vic said many rules in the narrative layer that they had speculated.

It was an eye-opener for Vic.

"So, this last thing is actually pretty simple."

"After we understand that the 'author' in the higher narrative level is actually just an ordinary person, we can help him do something in exchange for him spending more time to help us avoid the prying of the higher narrative level."

"Don't feel strange."

"Although the author of the higher narrative level is very powerful and can arbitrarily tamper with the world of the lower narrative level he created."

"But this does not mean that he can really do whatever he wants in his creation."

"Because if he writes his own book randomly, then not many people will read it."

"So, in the future story, the 'author' still needs a character to help him perfect the background of the story."

"In the long days before the 'story' begins, a character is also needed to do something."

"Otherwise, if he wants to reasonably promote the plot, he will have to spend a lot of effort."

Vic finally understood what the third trick that the illusory Vic was talking about was.

He went to help the 'author' with some small favors, and the author could also cover up the things in their world in the higher narrative level.

Because the story of their world has been cut off at this moment.

The more famous this cut-off world is, the safer and freer they will be when they hide behind it.

Of course, even if this didn't happen.

If Vic had the choice, he would have participated in the creation of that new world.

That would have been interesting, wouldn't it?
