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.

"Since we’re all here, let’s begin. I’ve invited all of you here to discuss the disappearance of the entire She Lin Society’s upper rank," the Prefect Li Zhenyi said somberly.

"I fear the murderer may not be human," Taoist Bai Feng remarked slowly. Glancing at Lu Sheng, he continued, "With respect to that, let’s hear about the thorny issues from External Head Lu. Crimson Whale Sect calls the shots in the Northern Lands. Even She Lin Society submits to it. I’m sure you must have leads."
"So what if it’s human? And so what if it’s not human?" Lu Sheng asked emotionlessly.
