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…
"No, wait. Send it straight to Mountain-Edge City. I’ll head there directly too," Lu Sheng changed his mind.
"Understood."
"See to the other arrangements. I’m heading to the headquarters first," Lu Sheng relayed his instructions and made a dash on the horse towards the Crimson Whale.
He made no stops along the way. Still, by the time he arrived at the Crimson Whale, many high-ranking External Heads and Internal Affairs Emissaries had already arrived.
Crowd milled about in the harbor, including even some people from nearby sects and clans.
Lu Sheng had only just arrived when sect disciples dressed in red came to greet him and take care of his horse.
"Why’re there so many people today?" Lu Sheng asked with a frown, staring straight ahead.
In front of him was a company of men who had just arrived, bearing the flag of Eastern Mountain Society. At the head of the company was a white-bearded old man, who was whispering to the sect disciples leading them.
