Chapter 1

In the past, ancient people's understanding of the world was far less thorough than it is now, often regarding things they could not explain as mysterious creatures to be revered.

These entities, which they could neither see nor touch and which could not be explained by their knowledge at the time, were collectively known as chīmèiwǎngliáng, or "demons."

In even more distant times, due to geographical and environmental factors, this country experienced various natural disasters.

The fear of nature's destructive and creative powers inevitably instilled a sense of reverence in the weak humans.

Invisible, intangible, and uncontrollable forces had already surpassed human comprehension. However, people's understanding of supernatural forces always had a dual nature.

Bright, benevolent, and warm forces were revered as "gods."

Dark, terrifying, and mysterious forces were called "demons."

With the progress of the times, various technologies gradually appeared in human life, and people began to realize that the various legends of the past were so unconvincing in the face of modern science, finding the legends of their ancestors laughable.

But... do the various strange stories from the past really all have scientific explanations?

Ukiyo-machi is a famous street in Tokyo. To understand why it is famous, we need to go back to the past.

It is said that during the Edo period, this was the busiest street, with lights everywhere, which often led to the frequent appearance of demons, leaving behind many legends.

However, today, Ukiyo-machi has become an ordinary street, with mottled trees and flowers, moss-covered alleys and steps, showing no trace of its former prosperity.

On the contrary, the surrounding dilapidated scenery clearly indicates that this place has fallen behind the times, far inferior to other well-lit cities.

The progress of the times has made most people forget their fear of demons, and even developed a strong curiosity about the "demons" in the legends.

Ukiyo-machi, with its many demon legends, has thus attracted many tourists.

The local government, seeing the potential for profit, decided not to develop the area but to maintain its ancient charm as much as possible.

However, over the years, although Ukiyo-machi has received many tourists, no one has ever witnessed a real demon. Over time, the street has become obscure.

People who came for the "demons" left disappointed, and the loss of fame and time has led to the street being in a state of long-term neglect, damp and dark, and a no-man's land.

The local authorities seem to have completely abandoned this area, so the environment and security here are quite poor.

Now, except for some "demon enthusiasts" with a screw loose, the locals have also moved away from this place.

In the early morning, at the entrance of an alley on Ukiyo-machi, a flow of people appeared, quite different from the usual. The police also set up a cordon.

Many media outlets, like vultures smelling carrion, rushed to the scene, taking out their equipment and starting to snap photos madly.

Although the police were trying to cover up, the paparazzi always found the best angle to take photos.

In this country, those holding cameras are not simple. If they want a decent job, they are photojournalists.

If they want to earn more, they can find a few girls ready to enter the industry and shoot an action blockbuster in no time.

A teenager, riding a bicycle that looked older than he was, passed by the street he used to go to school and couldn't help but frown in disgust.

"Beep, detected residual demon aura in the air. As a demon with the ambition to become the Lord of Demons, the actions of ignorant demons in your territory have made you quite angry. Eliminate the demons causing trouble in your area and make them understand the consequences of angering a great demon.

Reward: 100 human reputation points, 300 demon reputation points."

Hearing the electronic voice in his mind, Yūdō had already more than once wanted to complain. He had no interest in being the Lord of Demons.

But this system seemed to always try to steer him towards the role of "Lord of Demons."

"Those things are out again, and this time they seem to have caused a death. What a hassle. I thought coming to another world would let me live a carefree life, but this world is even more troublesome than the original one."

Although he muttered these words, Yūdō's body still moved towards the crowd.

Humans have a natural curiosity to see excitement, regardless of the country or world.

Of course, the key is that the person being watched is not oneself.

Yūdō parked his old bicycle on the side and locked it carefully before squeezing into the crowd.

"Damn, what are you pushing for? Do you think this is a chest, and pushing will get you in?"

Yūdō's rough actions in the crowd were about to cause a middle-aged woman watching the scene to be upset. But when she turned around and saw Yūdō's face, her expression immediately softened.

It was proven that in any world, people judge by appearance. Yūdō politely declined the woman's request for her phone number, sighing that crossing over was indeed a skill. With his current good looks, he could save himself at least twenty years of struggle.

In fact, Yūdō was not from this world but a so-called "穿越者" (穿越者 means "穿越者" in Chinese, which can be translated as "time traveler" or "穿越者" in English).

When he came to this world, his body was still that of a half-grown child. The reason for his crossing was unknown, and the factors were also unclear, but he knew that going back was probably impossible.

Now, living a second life, not only had he become a handsome young man, but he also had a beautiful face and a girlfriend. Yūdō felt that this crossing was not a loss at all.

His full name is Tenjōin Yūdō. His looks and height are both excellent, especially his face, which is incredibly handsome.

When Yūdō first crossed over, he quickly accepted his new identity.

There was no other reason; he had read too many novels and played too many games. When he encountered such supernatural phenomena, Yūdō didn't take long to accept reality.

Secondly, because he was so handsome, the sense of immersion came quickly, and the tension and unease of crossing over dissipated.

Inheriting his mother's brown hair, standing at 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome face and a bit of a rogue charm, he could easily outshine the long-legged oppas of his past.

Although he was still poor, this hadn't changed in any world, but these were not problems. At worst, with his good looks, he could work hard to support his family.

However, after living in this world for a few years, Yūdō realized that this world was not an ordinary one.

In addition to humans, there existed another kind of creature, "demons."

Yes, just as the name suggests, the demons from various ghost stories actually existed in this world!

Moreover, he himself was not an ordinary person but a half-demon!

Although the reality was harsh, he had to accept the cruel fact that he was not a pure human.

Furthermore, this world was not as simple as it seemed, just like the scene in front of him now.

In the dim alley, something could be vaguely seen lying on the ground, but it was covered by a white cloth by the police.

Yūdō敏锐地感觉到空气中残留的一丝淡淡的妖气，大概就是之前系统所说的，进入他地盘作乱的妖怪。

These days, a time traveler without a built-in cheat doesn't even feel comfortable greeting others.

Yūdō was no exception. Although this system often distorted his actions, it was undeniable that over the years, the system had indeed made him much stronger.

"What are you doing, getting so close? Is this a place for a kid like you?

Kids shouldn't be too curious. Go back and study, or you might see something you shouldn't and have nightmares tonight."

Yūdō wanted to get closer to see what kind of demon had killed the unfortunate person.

But before he could reach the body covered in white cloth, his collar was grabbed by someone.

When Yūdō turned around, he saw a very beautiful girl with long, straight pink hair. Although she was in a police uniform, it couldn't hide her fiery figure.

She had a lolita face but a chest that was completely out of proportion to her body. Yūdō even wondered if a single chest expansion exercise would tear her shirt.

The buttons on her shirt must be under unimaginable pressure...

"Brat, I'm talking to you. Where are you looking?"

"Ah, I was watching the ball... I mean, I was watching what's happening over there." Because of the girl's size, Yūdō almost blurted out that he was watching the ball.

Although Yūdō is now a high school student and the girl is clearly already in society, calling him a brat with her appearance was not very convincing.

In fact, standing next to the girl, whether in height or appearance, she looked more like a brat.

It wasn't because Yūdō looked old, but because although the girl had an amazing figure, her face was truly that of a lolita.

"Whether you heard me or not, you'd better leave now.

We are still investigating. If you and the other onlookers ruin the scene, we'll get scolded by the captain.

And this is not a place for students to wander around. Be careful not to be caught as a suspect."

The girl pushed Yūdō out while scaring him, although her appearance made her threats seem ineffective.

"Suspect my ass. That person wasn't killed by an ordinary person.

If I'm not mistaken, that person not only died a terrible death but his body is probably incomplete, like being bitten to pieces."
