From the Start, Exposing the Demon Cult Property Management Company

A laid-back urban slice-of-life story: warm, funny, and easygoing, with an offbeat twist. Not your typical power fantasy.

All right, I’ll come clean.

On the surface, I’m a recently divorced, deadbeat host barely scraping by at a TV station.

In reality, within my System, I’m a preaching envoy of the Heavenly Sound Illusory Mirror Sect and a candidate for the ranks of the immortals!

I just wanted to make a viral video and meet the KPI my station director gave me...

[Task complete! Earned the approval and praise of one thousand believers! Reward: the cultivation technique Heavenly Sound Art!]

I just took my colleagues to expose the rip-off schemes at a foot massage parlor...

[Exorcised evil and rooted out corruption! The Mirror Sound Hall’s first operation was a success, and key evidence was obtained! Reward: 500 System coins!]

I just answered a work call from my ex-wife...

[Warning! The Holy Maiden of the outside sect, Star Radiance Pavilion, is here to test you. Host, respond with composure!]

My colleague Qian Hao looked at me. “Yuan, you’re acting strange today. That manager was clearly afraid of you when you spoke to him.”

Me, thinking to myself: “Obviously. I just empowered myself with the Heavenly Sound Art. Of course a mortal would be scared.”

My ex-wife, Su Wan: “Lu Yuan, you’re not lacking anything, really. You’re just missing that extra spark.”

I looked at the System panel, where the task countdown and rewards were ticking by at breakneck speed, and smiled.

Sorry, I’ve got that spark now.
