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…
After an unknown period of time, Lu Sheng gradually opened his eyes.
Before his eyes was the cool ground of the sanctuary, covered in holes. There were even the scars from his previous martial arts cultivation left on the black metal floorboards.
"Water…" instinctively, he felt that his entire body was parched dry and his throat seemed like it was on fire.
It was deathly silent inside the sanctuary. Unfortunately, he was alone and there was no one else around to help him out.
Lu Sheng used his hand to prop himself up as he attempted to rise.
"Bam!"
All strength left his arms, sending him flopping back down on the ground.
"Water…" he whimpered.
There was no reply. The soundproofing in this sanctuary had actually been designed by none other than himself. Behind the metal boards were stone boards that had been filled with cotton-like material. It was shockingly expensive to construct, but highly effective for soundproofing.
