After Sharing a Name with the Abyssal Demon Lord II

Starting from Chapter 24, the novel will be behind a paywall. Thank you for supporting me, little angels! [Chapter comments are open, so come have fun!] Ye Zun returns to the real world from an infinite-flow world, only to discover that his adventures in the dungeons have all been adapted for the screen. He becomes a top-tier star. But this reality has been completely overrun by evil spirits. The entertainment industry isn't for entertaining people. It's an offering to entertain ghosts and gods. Will he become a top star among the offerings, or a new god who feeds on ghosts and gods? Ye Zun, who only wanted to retire and recover from illness: “...” Ghosts and gods feed on human fear. Ye Zun, a human with an unusual appetite, feeds on the terror they create. In a world where people are raised as livestock by ghosts, Ye Zun knocks on the main hall where the high-ranking demon gods are fighting over the election of a new Demon Lord. Ye Zun: “I'm your boss. Open the door.” Demon gods: “As if. Then who's that behind you?” The Abyss: “Obviously I'm family. What are you accusing me of?” Long ago, when Ye Zun was a weak and helpless ordinary person, he encountered two special beings in that dangerous, terrifying world. One was a noble, austere priest, perfect as a reflection of Heaven, radiating holy light. He walked beside Ye Zun with kindness, gave him warmth, and promised never to leave him. The other was the most terrifying presence in the dungeon, an older brother who went by the name Shen Yuan and followed him like a shadow. “Darling, when you're afraid, you give off such a lovely scent. I've always wanted to taste it, but I held back.” He spoke in a haughty, innocent tone. His words were terrifying, yet he sounded as if he still wanted Ye Zun to praise him. In the eternal darkness, he clung to Ye Zun and pursued him relentlessly, whispering tenderly in his ear as if he were about to kill him, telling him to love Him. Ye Zun began a gentle, beautiful romance with the priest. But the Abyss and the priest were actually the same person. The Abyss is cooking at home when he discovers that, just as their romance was going well, his wife has suddenly left him: “...?” The Abyss, the victim: “That's right, he pretended to love me for a little while. I don't need legal aid. How do I get him to come home and keep pretending to love me?” Bonus scene The Abyss: “The udumbara flower I kissed to life with death is about to wither. How can I keep him here?” Kill him completely before he withers, freezing that moment into eternity. Stretch out the final moment endlessly, so the story never ends. Let him be frail, exhausted, and unable to love, until spring comes again. But there is no spring in the Abyss. The Abyss: “I only want last year's udumbara, not a new one every year.” Reader's guide 0. Once again, a subtle and complicated love between human and nonhuman, along with a terrifying supernatural story. 1. This is the second book after Becoming the Abyssal Demon Lord's Namesake, but it can be read on its own without the first. 2. I tweaked the blurb, but the premise hasn't changed. The number of people who bookmark it remains perfectly still. This lonely author flails between giving up and getting back on their feet. 3. The author isn't a fan and knows absolutely nothing about the entertainment industry. This is an alternate modern setting with a mountain of original worldbuilding. For world peace, please don't bring real-life celebrities into the comments. After all, almost everyone in the entertainment industry in this story will probably die when they appear. Blurb of the first book: Coming soon: Everything Starts with Inheriting a Mansion “A villa worth 700 million yuan, yours for free. All you have to do is do me a tiny favor.” “My wife and I are going on a trip, and we don't know when we'll be back. For the seven days we're gone, please stay in this villa and look after our five-year-old daughter.” “Has anyone died in this mansion?” “No one has died here before.” “Is this a scam?” “I won't take your money.” “Are you really giving it to me?” “It'll be yours for life.” “Will it still belong to me if I die?” “Even if you die, it won't leave you.” “Am I the only one in this house?” “...Yes, you're the only one.” A mysterious mass disappearance has taken place in a cluster of mansions in the city. The sole survivor is a five-year-old girl. She also suffers from a rare condition that makes her sleep excessively.

His sleeping hours gradually grow longer until one day he will never wake again, like someone in a vegetative state. But Qi Yao knows that he isn't asleep. Something is keeping him from waking. “Stay away from those who can't wake up. They're not human. They're the doorways to another world.” Those were the words his first love left him the last time they met. * Through the traps of the dead, into the world's most absurd and desolate place, against the current of time. When death is reflected in the mirror of sunlight, they can meet again. Theme: The human heart is subtle, flickering like the stars, but moonlight lasts forever
