I'm the King of Hell, So Why Did You Drag Me into a Supernatural Instance?

Also known as: The King of Hell Joins a Haunted Game? The Whole Internet Begs Him to Stop Killing!

Gu Changsheng, King of Hell, has been having a serious headache lately.

Ghosts from the underworld are being snatched up in droves by “haunted dungeons.” His KPIs are in the gutter, his pay has been suspended, and the once-mighty Bureau of Yin is on the verge of bankruptcy.

To turn things around, he personally visits the mortal realm to “investigate,” only to be dragged into a rules-based horror game livestreamed across the globe.

And so…

While everyone else trembles under rules written in blood, he hands a contract to the Slit-Mouthed Woman:

“An official post in the underworld, with five kinds of insurance and a housing fund. Interested?”

While chosen players from other countries are driven to the brink by a ghost chef, he frowns and scolds him: “Your knife skills are awful. Sign an apprentice contract. The training period is three hundred years.”

When a dungeon boss appears amid a sky full of vengeful spirits, he simply stamps his foot. The phantom waters of the River of Forgetfulness surge up from beneath the ground,

and the Ghost King immediately drops to his knees like a lackey:

“Spare me, Your Majesty… I’ll sign. I’ll sign anything!”

From then on, the global livestreams take a sharp turn:

While others struggle to survive, he recruits. While others solve puzzles, he changes the rules.

While others clear the dungeon, he dismantles it and ships it back to the underworld to build apartments.

The System keeps sounding alarms: [Warning! This dungeon has been permanently removed!]

The viewers stare in disbelief. “Are you clearing the dungeon or demolishing it?!”

But the underworld’s work chat erupts in cheers: “Boss is the best! Our year-end bonuses are in the bag!”

Gu Changsheng glances at his rising KPIs, then turns his gaze to the countless dungeon lights flickering across the mortal realm and smiles faintly:

“Next. The underworld still needs just a few hundred million more people.”

The King of Hell goes forth, and dungeons are wiped clean.

This isn’t a terrifying fight for survival. It’s a recruitment drive at your doorstep.
