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…
"Dang… dang…"
The bell rang from some unknown spot.
Lu Sheng put down the book in his hand and listened hard. He recalled how Song Zi'an had mentioned that the ringing of the bell indicated the start of the morning lesson.
But he had only come in for several hours; it was unlikely to be the morning lesson.
'In that case, it should be the reminder to return to our caves…' Lu Sheng put the book down and stood up.
'I haven't gotten a clear grasp of the situation in the sect yet. It's not too late to wait till after meeting the other disciples and finding out for certain what are the do's and don't's before coming back to continue reading.' He made up his mind and quickly returned the book to the shelf, walked out of the building and returned to the bridge.
He was about to cross the bridge when he suddenly heard the creaking of a door.
Turning around, he saw the originally ajar door of the library closing by itself.
"Thud."
The bar even fell into place after the door was shut.
