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…
The science of talisman symbol-making had been developed substantially within the Great Yin, mainly in the area of formations and talisman paper. Originally, this study of symbols derived from Divine Weapons and Devil Blades was a subject based on imitation, and primarily dealt with replicating the symbols and formations engraved on those weapons to replicate their effects.
Even though their power was substantially weaker precisely because they were only replicas, the study of talismans had brought about many widespread improvements to everyday life among the upper class of the Great Yin.
Lu Sheng was quite intrigued. Ordinary citizens were usually not allowed into talisman stores, and the merchandise there was almost all just spare goods left over by the government and the three major sects. The talisman making instructions were even more scarce, usually only including the most rudimentary parts.
