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…
"Alright, I came to ask you about the incident concerning Ashoka Manor. But now, it seems like it doesn’t matter anymore," Shangyang Jiuli said casually. "Oh, and… even Black Crow can spot the Zombie poison on you. You’d best handle it."
"My Lord, may I know why that Senior Black would say that I was lying to him?" Lu Sheng suddenly asked after some silence.
"No idea. Maybe he sniffed some scent on you, or saw some telltale sign that betrayed you. Who knows? Anyway, to me, all’s well as long as they show face to my Shangyang Family, and me, Shangyang Jiuli," Shangyang Jiuli pinched the cauldron in her hand. Suddenly, she asked, "Did you really kill the Officiator?"
"What makes you say that, My Lord? There’s such a wide chasm between my strength and the Lord Officiator’s. Do you think that’s possible?" Lu Sheng chuckled.
