Way of the Devil
Demons, devils, ghosts and monsters Plunge the mortals weak in horrors; Arms of gods and blades of devils, Shroud the world in untold evils. Lu Sheng was an ordinary civil servant in the modern world. After waking from a drunken stupor one day, he found himself trapped in a dangerous world where demons, ghosts and supernatural monsters terrorize the land. In this world, ordinary mortals live in dark fear and helplessness, without any means to fight against the supernatural. As Lu Sheng struggles desperately for survival, he stumbles upon a game mod he had designed for a mobile phone app in his previous life. It unexpectedly becomes his special ability, which enables him to instantly level up any skill he learns, albeit at a cost. Thus, Lu Sheng begins his journey, striving for power beyond the reach of a mortal as he treads the way of the Devil…
Lu Sheng could feel pain, panic, hopelessness, and confusion being emitted through the eye.
"Hello," Lu Sheng said in an attempt to communicate with it.
"The pain…" a voice spoke in an unknown yet still comprehensible language through the crack.
"What are you saying?" Lu Sheng frowned. "Can you open the door?"
"Pain…" the raspy voice, neither male or female, repeated.
"Is there a way to open this door so I can get you out?" Lu Sheng said in a low voice, attempting again to communicate.
"Pain...."
Lu Sheng stretched his hand and grabbed the door. He pushed heavily, but the door was surprisingly heavy. Even with his strength, it wouldn't budge.
The poison mist water still flowed steadily underneath his feet. This was clearly the source of the poison mist river, but his path was blocked by an odd door.
