Demons, devils, ghosts, and monsters- they haunt the shadows, feeding on mortal fear. Lu Sheng was an ordinary civil servant living a mundane modern life-until a drunken haze stole him away to a brutal world ruled by dark forces. Here, terrifying supernatural beings prey on the helpless, and mortals are trapped beneath a suffocating veil of dread. But fate deals Lu Sheng a strange hand: a mysterious game mod he once designed in his past life awakens within him, granting the power to instantly master any skill-if he's willing to pay the price. Thrown into a nightmare where survival is a constant battle, Lu Sheng must harness this deadly gift and walk the razor's edge between salvation and damnation. His journey to power begins-along the perilous path of the Devil.

Raised by bandits. Forged by vengeance. Destined for more. Fang Xing was just a scrappy orphan raised among ruthless mountain bandits-nine fierce uncles who ruled their territory with iron and blood. But one night, everything burned. An unknown force stormed their lair in search of a hidden treasure, leaving behind only ash and corpses. Fang Xing survived-barely-alongside his loyal servant girl, carrying nothing but a mysterious relic left by his dying uncle. Sworn to vengeance, Fang Xing infiltrates the very sect that destroyed his family, hiding his past behind a mischievous grin and a growing cultivation power. As he climbs the ranks, he uncovers secrets buried deeper than hatred-secrets that will shake the world itself. He was born a bandit. But he might just rise as something far greater.
