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…
"Is there really no hope then?" Lu Sheng looked crestfallen.
"Hope?" The old Sect Master laughed. "We’ve always been searching for one… a pity…" he put the white stone powder to his mouth and sucked in a deep breath of it again.
"Oh, right, all inner Qi with Yang-attribute has some effect against them. Who’s to say that there isn’t a possible way out when one cultivates inner Qi to an unprecedented realm?" He half-joked.
"…" Lu Sheng remained silent, but his face looked ugly.
"Alright, you’ve asked your questions. If there’s nothing else, go back and nurse your wounds. Since you’ve been wounded on official business this time, you can collect medicinal powder from the pharmacy. Your contributions will also be recorded. It’ll be pegged at Grade A, Third Class," old Sect Master said. "Enough for you to exchange for assorted skills and pills or weapons. But, I advise you to spend them on a weapon suited to yourself."
