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…

The Modifier screen vibrated and Ultimate Crimson Mantra’s selection blurred.
This time, the screen remained blurred for a whole two seconds before it came into focus again.
Lu Sheng stared nervously at Ultimate Crimson Mantra’s selection. Quickly, the blurry words sharpened into focus again.
‘Unnamed Mantra: Level Eight. Special Effect(s): Blood Web, High-Magnitude Tremor, Incendiary.’
Lu Sheng did not feel that his cultivation base had deepened particularly. But he could detect that some mysterious transformation seemed to have happened to his inner QI.
The transformation heated up his body and caused his skin and scalp to itch, which seemed to be a sign that his hair was about to grow again.
‘According to senior apprentice brother, once one steps into Divine Prime, one’s body will enter a new stage of maturity. Perhaps my hair will grow back again then,’ Lu Sheng sighed in relief. He did not wish to remain bald for the rest of his life.
