After Taking a Side Job as a Demon Exorcist, I Became a True Believer

Chu Yao, a young man with a tragic life, thought his good days had finally arrived when he was chosen to be the zoo director.

Only after taking over did he discover that the zoo was operating at a loss, had almost no visitors, and was so remote it might as well have been deep in the mountains. Worst of all, every animal in the zoo was a monster.

There was no way to run, and he was saddled with tens of millions in debt. So what if they were monsters? Get moving and earn me some money!

He never expected the zoo to become a huge sensation, nor that he himself would become famous along with it.

"Master, I mean, Director, can you exorcise a monster for me?"

Chu Yao replied coolly, "No. We run a zoo."

"One hundred thousand."

Chu Yao didn't budge.

"One million."

"Deal."

"Master, can you draw me a talisman?"

"Sorry, if you want to see the animals, please come inside."

"Ten thousand each."

"Deal. How many do you need?"

"Ten."

And so Chu Yao began his hectic side hustle as an exorcist and talisman-maker, taking care of both the zoo and its monster problems.

Chu Yao always thought he never should have come here. Not only was he surrounded by monsters every day, he also had a ghost constantly clinging to him.

The ghost was good-looking enough, but had a terrible temper. Worst of all, he kept pressuring Chu Yao to marry him in every way imaginable. If Chu Yao refused, he would pester him nonstop. But Chu Yao had no plans to marry a ghost.

One day, the skies changed, all the beasts roared, and ten thousand monsters gathered at the zoo. The monsters Chu Yao usually bossed around casually all revealed their true forms. It turned out that every single one of them was powerful enough to destroy the world.

And the child who had been curled up in his arms and acting cute just the day before had become the so-called Demon King.

He reached out and slowly moved closer.

"Big Brother, let's get married."

Chu Yao felt a little uneasy. "Damn, why does he look exactly like that ghost?"

Coming soon: The Horror Livestream Is Live

The horror livestream that once swept the globe suddenly shut down one day. While disappointed, everyone speculated about what had happened.

Some said the game's final boss had been defeated.

Others said the game had been created for one person, and that it ended when he left.

No one would ever learn the real reason.

One day in 2032, when Lin Shutuo accidentally entered the game, a text message appeared on everyone's phone.

"Hello, everyone. The horror livestream is now live."

The game was filled with terror and slaughter. The only way to escape was to clear every instance safely. There were no rules here. You could use anything you could think of.

Players could also use money tipped by viewers to buy anything. On the first day Lin Shutuo entered, no one thought this seemingly delicate man would survive the night.

In the first instance, the newbie instance, everyone searched for something to defend themselves with. Lin Shutuo was the only one who stood out.

On his first day there, he found a place to hide and took a nap.

On his second day there, he gave an NPC a very "friendly" greeting.

On his third day there, he cleared the instance.

Everyone: "..."

Was he seriously that fast? He had broken the record set by the person ranked first.

They also noticed that ever since Lin Shutuo arrived, the horror livestream sometimes didn't seem quite so terrifying.

Lin Shutuo kept adding dramatic flair to his own scenes and became the livestream's biggest star. No one expected him to fight his way through one challenge after another and reach a realm no one had ever entered.
