Place . txt local file inside a local page

Question

Eae, y'all.
I want to warn you first that I don’t know much about java and these kinds of code, so I hope I don’t have any answers, but come on.
Next, what I need to do, for a project, is to use the text that is inside a ". txt" file and put it as text in an HTML page.
I have been researching, and from what I understand, there is no way to do this because the file is local (file://) and is not hosted on a server.
Is there any way around this? This project will not be uploaded. It will not go online, the only person who will open it is me, on my PC.
But then, in case it’s not possible, I need help with the code to make it work online.

HTML:

<div id="printed"></div>

CSS:

var text_print = new XMLHttpRequest();
        text_print.open("GET", "http://www.textfiles.com/etext/FICTION/2000010.txt", true);
        text_print.onload = function (){
            console.log( text_print.responseText.slice(0, text_print.responseText.indexOf("\n")) ); };
        text_print.send();

    document.getElementById("printed").innerHTML=text_print;

Needless to say, it didn’t work, did it? Hahaha
Like I said, I don’t know java and shovel, so I did something similar on the Internet and I ended up with this code there, but it doesn’t work.
I don’t think I need to explain, but what I need is for the text in the "2000010.txt" file to become the div with "printed id".
Thank you.
