The Arrogant Demon Lord Says Sorry to the Whole Server [Full-Dive]

A haughty, troublemaking cat shou × a gentle, dependable, mother-hen-like cat owner gong

Yu Hanying, a demon lord who once ruled the cultivation world, was tricked into playing the full-dive game Tianyuan. The peaceful game world now had its most brutal ruler, and from then on, no one on the server knew peace.

According to incomplete statistics:

On the first day, he "slaughtered" a city, damaged 1,184 weapons, caused 1,134 people to brawl, and was responsible for a mass death toll of 30,000 player deaths;

On the second day, he challenged the top-ranked guild and ambushed an elite team specializing in stealing monsters and robbing players. His methods were so brutal they were painful to watch;

On the third day, he brought down eighty-one bolts of tribulation lightning, leaving countless players charred on the outside and raw on the inside, strewn across the wilderness and thoroughly humiliated;

On the Nth day, he dressed up as a woman in red in a challenge dungeon and chased players all over the server, terrifying friend and foe alike. Countless players were left traumatized, unable to bear seeing the words "red clothes," "long hair," and "woman" together ever again.

After that, whenever Yu Hanying and the members of the Demon Cult he led showed up, players across the server automatically gave them a wide berth, firmly following the strategic principle of staying safe in body and mind by avoiding anyone they couldn't afford to offend.

Yu Hanying was annoyed. Yu Hanying was unhappy. "Why are you avoiding us? Do you look down on me?!"

The players were angry but dared not say a word. How could he say something so outrageous...

A professional cleanup man lied through his teeth: "They're not avoiding us. The Demon Lord's presence is simply too intimidating to look at directly."

All the players on the server: ... The Jade-Bone Demon Lord commits every kind of evil. How can you live among us and claim you have nothing to do with it?!

One fact was universally accepted throughout Tianyuan: The Jade-Bone Demon Lord and his gang of criminals were out front punching holes in the sky, while Ji Renjian followed behind patching things up. Not one of them was any good!

And yet, no one could bring themselves to hate the members of the Demon Cult, nor could they ever quite manage to stay away. Everyone knew that getting close to the Demon Cult was the beginning of bad luck, but at the slightest hint of trouble, they still couldn't help checking what kind of outrageous stunt the cult would pull next...

In short, ever since Yu Hanying entered Tianyuan, every player on the server felt as if they were being haunted by something unclean...

Coming soon: The All-Around Game Developer

Zhong Du, a lone-wolf developer who struck fear into the gaming industry, could do the work of several teams all by himself.

For the six months before and after any game released by Zhong Du, no studio dared to launch a major project without postponing it. Past disasters had taught them not to take the risk.

After five years of silence, Zhong Du announced the release date of his new game and came back with a vengeance!

The studios, which had enjoyed five peaceful years, were instantly like birds startled by the twang of a bow. They postponed every game slated to launch in the next six months, no, the next year, grinding their teeth and watching nervously, afraid the industry's standards would once again be raised.

But on release day, Zhong Du, who was always punctual, was five hours late. In the end, what was released alongside the game was a death notice posted by a family member on his behalf.

*

As his five-year labor of love was about to launch, Zhong Du made a risky decision: he reworked one of the game mechanics.

To make sure the game launched on schedule, he worked day and night at an intense pace. Just as expected, he dropped dead from overwork.

When he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated into a body that had also just died. The difference was that its owner had been dirt poor and starved to death, leaving behind two scrawny younger siblings crying out for food.

Zhong Du immediately returned to his old profession and began making games in another world.

On a star-net where mecha battle games were all the rage, a flood of quirky-looking games sprang up like mushrooms after rain. The various factions across the stars were divided: gamers went wild, while rival companies faced unprecedented challenges...

Myths, cultivation, farming, survival, martial arts, combat, action, strategic conquest...
