   You think this is urban fantasy? No, this is a massive soap opera combining a "Demon Lord Training Plan" and a "Repentance Pill for Exes." The male lead, dumped when he's down on his luck, immediately signs a contract—no, a cooperation agreement—with the demon lord within him. He absorbs lifespans, imparts cultivation techniques, and woos various genuinely interested women, breaking through to new heights with each cultivation session. They say I'm greedy, wanting both beauty and the world—I laugh: I cultivate karma, who says I can't have it all?

The novel is complete, and unfortunately, the typos can no longer be fixed. (ToT) Also, I'm not a studio. No studio updates this slowly. Since readers keep mixing up the protagonist's name with the names in the small worlds, from now on the protagonist's name in each world will match the name used there, with 27.4kReads8.9Score1.7kShelves
