For his entire life, Dugu Zhuo had been toyed with by heaven. His cultivation had been destroyed, his familial bonds had been severed, his friends had passed on, and he was burdened with the crime of patricide. Even his one and only true love, Ye Zhou, had been killed and his soul shattered.... more>>

Having lost all hope, he walked every corner of the world accompanied by a spiritual jade containing a single fragment of Ye Zhou's soul, wishing only to find the other pieces so they could be with one another in a next life.

However, one day, near the end of his life, he wandered into an illusion and suddenly saw Ye Zhou being chased by several beasts.

When he slew those beasts, a strange sound rang by his ears.

"Ding! For slaying a monster, you've received 3 low-grade spirit stones."

"Ding! For slaying a monster, you've received a secret book, the Reverse Sword Technique."

"Ding! For slaying a monster, you've received a rare healing item, the Spirit Replenishing Herb."

"Ding! You've gained a level and restored 1% of your cultivation."

And the Ye Zhou he had just "saved" waved his sword at him furiously, yelling at him, "How dare you steal my monsters!"

Dugu Zhuo: ?

In the VR game Nine Heavens, Ye Zhou met an eccentric player called Dugu Zhuo.

He didn't understand common sense, he didn't know the controls, he was never offline, and he often gazed at Ye Zhou with hidden depths in his eyes.

Ye Zhou only thought he had taken a good-looking little disciple, helping him level up step by step, and after flirting for a long time they married each other in the game.

Just when Ye Zhou was considering meeting Dugu Zhuo in the real world, there was a system notification from the game:

[Player Yi Ye Pian Zhou has triggered the final storyline, 'Sword Tomb', and unlocked the final boss, Dugu Zhuo.]

Ye Zhou: …

What a coincidence, that was his husband's name! <<less

System: Ding! You will rule over this world, and purge its decayed former order.

Duanmu Wuqiu: I've finally cultivated to the point where no one dares to disturb me. I want a break.

System: In order to fulfill your purpose of becoming the World-Ending Sovereign, please go to the Skyfall Gorge and use the celestial winds to temper your body, in order to cultivate an indestructible golden body.

Duanmu Wuqiu: I've tried that, it's too painful. I won't do it.

System: Please go to the Beichen Sect and assassinate Luo Xianyun, the leader of the righteous sects, in order to prevent him from obstructing your great task to end the world!

Duanmu Wuqiu: I'll go right now.

Duanmu Wuqiu hands an introductory letter to Luo Xianyun, and says to him: "This Lord has suffered from an inner demon, who urges him day and night to end the world. Shouldn't you righteous sects look into that?

Luo Xianyun (sitting politely): I'll do all I can.

Duanmu Wuqiu: Good, well, accompany this Lord and help me get rid of this inner demon.

Before Luo Xianyun can speak, a voice sounds by his ear: The Savior System wishes to link, please accept or deny.

Luo Xianyun: Accept.

System: This system is detecting that the Demon Lord's goodwill toward you is high, and recommends the romance route to save the world. Go up and throw your arms around him! Kiss him on the lips!

Luo Xianyun: …Can I take it back now?

Duanmu Wuqiu: Why are you looking at my lips like that? Is my smile creepy?

Luo Xianyun: Not at all. This one may also be dealing with an inner demon.

Duanmu Wuqiu: You help me with mine, I'll help you with yours!

System: See? I told you he liked you! Throw yourself on him!

Luo Xianyun: That may not be necessary. <<less

In order to stay within his budget, newbie director Zhong Jiudao rented an infamous haunted house as his filming set.

They gathered behind Zhong Jiudao, wanting to teach a lesson to this human who had stepped into their territory. But who could've thought that Zhong Jiudao, completely unperturbed, would take out his movie script and read it aloud to the occupants of the haunted house?... more>>

Ghosts: Huh? If we substitute ourselves into the role of the ghost in the script, it actually feels... pretty cool!

Putting away his script, Zhong Jiudao asked the group of ghosts: Anyone interested in shooting a movie? I'll pay the salary by burning joss paper*.

Ghosts: What kind of movie is it?

Zhong Jiudao: A movie about the satisfying revenge of a ghost.

The ghosts scrambled to raise their hands: Me! I want to do it!

Zhong Jiudao: You guys have to audition for the roles, line up here for the screen test.

A fresh graduate from an acting school, Z-list actor Luo Huai took on a supporting role in a horror movie. Although the filming crew was lacking in budget, the director had a good personality and the staff was kind. The senior actor who played the role of the ghost had great acting skills and was very dedicated, patiently giving him pointers during filming.

Senior Ghost: This won't do, you have to act more convincingly. If you can't do it, how are you going to trick those humans into your territory?

Luo Huai: Huh?

Senior Ghost: I mean—you can only convince the audience with your acting if you give a genuine performance.

Luo Huai: Thank you, senior! You're so nice!
