The Devil: Starting with Building an Idol

Top producer Locke transmigrates to a sword-and-sorcery world and obtains the mysterious Book of Empty Names. It lets him bind adventurers, absorb their fame, and grow stronger. Train a world-renowned paladin and receive the “Archangel’s Righteous Judgment,” capable of destroying any evil creature. Train a universally admired mage and receive “Supernatural Wisdom,” allowing you to learn all the world’s most difficult knowledge. Train a fearsome warlock and receive the “Devil’s Gift,” allowing you to resist every devil’s temptation. With plenty of experience running idols, Locke isn’t worried at all. For him, building fame is a piece of cake. Crafting a public image, cultivating devoted fans, livestreaming dragon fights, releasing branded merchandise, holding fan meets, landing endorsements... Now all he needs is a rising star. He’ll start with the young mage right in front of him, who sets herself on fire whenever she tries to cast a fireball! Years later, when the King of the World, Locke, is interviewed by a reporter, he says, “I don’t want to conquer the world. I just want to make it big in the idol industry. Hey, you there, reporter. You’ve got the right look. Want to make your debut?” (Not DND. A hodgepodge world.)
