Chapter 1

Listen! The Demon King!

The symbol of terror and evil! The synonym for slaughter and death! But Li Yalin never thought that this title would fall upon himself.

This dreamlike experience, if not for the soft bed and the afternoon sunlight being so real, Li Yalin would have even wondered if he was in a dream, and after waking up, he would be lying on that familiar small bed, starting his daily life of eating and waiting to die.

Originally, as a student who had just finished his sophomore year, Li Yalin was enjoying a happy, pleasant, and fulfilling summer vacation. Every day, he would sit in front of the computer to catch up on new anime and play a few rounds with his friends. This kind of life was so enjoyable that even a god wouldn't want to change it!

But this happy life was shattered by the arrival of a strange package!

Li Yalin liked online shopping and often bought things online. One day, while he was playing with his friends, he received a call from the courier, saying that a package had arrived.

Could it be the snacks I ordered a few days ago?

Li Yalin rushed downstairs to pick up the package. But when he got home and opened it, he didn't see the snacks he imagined. Instead, in the center of the package lay a card, entirely red, with a vivid blood-colored angel drawn in the middle.

Could it be the wrong package?

Li Yalin curiously took out the card, and the moment his fingers touched it, a red light instantly illuminated the entire room. Li Yalin then felt a severe dizziness and fainted.

When Li Yalin woke up, he was shocked to find himself in a dense jungle, with the distant sounds of wild beasts roaring.

Where am I? The Amazon rainforest?

Li Yalin looked around in panic. After all, everything was so inexplicable. But before he could observe more, a cold wind blew by, and Li Yalin shivered.

Li Yalin was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, and the jungle was very cold. He felt that he should find a place to shelter from the wind, or he would surely freeze to death.

In this unfamiliar environment, a sense of inexplicable fear overwhelmed Li Yalin. Suddenly fainting and suddenly appearing in this terrifying jungle, why would he, who was perfectly fine, end up in such a hellish place?

Wait! What's in my hand...

Only then did Li Yalin realize that he was still holding the card! The blood-colored angel on the card was so lifelike, as if it could jump out of the card at any moment!

Could it be that this card is the reason I'm here?

Li Yalin stared at the card with wide eyes. Heaven and earth! Since you brought me here, send me back quickly!

Unfortunately, Li Yalin's prayer had no effect. Not only did the card not send him home, but it also emitted a red light that shot straight into the sky!

What does this mean?

Li Yalin was startled by the red light and wanted to throw away the card, but the card seemed to stick to his hand, and no matter how he tried to shake it off, it wouldn't budge!

What the hell is this thing?

Li Yalin was on the verge of tears. If he had known, he wouldn't have touched this damned card! He shouldn't have even picked up that cursed package!

Heaven, can't you open your eyes and send me home out of kindness?

Li Yalin pleaded with the heavens, but it seemed that this place didn't believe in heaven. His prayers brought no help, but instead, a group of black-armored knights!

Their appearance was like the terrifying knights in games, wearing heavy armor and holding long lances, riding black, dinosaur-like creatures!

The moment Li Yalin saw these guys, he decided to run. He felt that these people didn't look very kind, and if they caught him, what if they ate him alive?

Run!

When fear spreads in the heart, people lose their reason. Li Yalin was like this, running aimlessly, only hoping to escape the black-armored knights behind him.

But running was worse. Li Yalin's running caught the attention of the black-armored knights!

Seeing Li Yalin running in panic, the black-armored knights shouted incomprehensible words and charged at him.

Li Yalin, an ordinary student who didn't pay much attention to exercise, couldn't possibly outrun the dinosaurs the black-armored knights were riding.

The result was obvious. Before Li Yalin could run far, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and was lifted by the neck!

Thus, Li Yalin became a captive of the black-armored knights. However, they didn't eat him alive as he imagined. Instead, after examining him carefully, they threw him on the back of a dinosaur and took him away.

Li Yalin didn't know how long he had been riding the dinosaur. The jolts on the dinosaur's back almost shook his internal organs to pieces. When he got off the dinosaur, he was dizzy and almost fainted.

Without giving Li Yalin a moment to catch his breath, the black-armored knights continued to escort him forward. In front of him appeared a magnificent and grand castle!

A castle? Did I come to a foreign country?

Li Yalin's consciousness was still a bit hazy, but the style of the castle was very much like a medieval European castle.

After being escorted into the castle, they continued to move forward. Finally, in the grand hall of the castle, Li Yalin was set down.

I have a bad feeling...

Li Yalin was dizzy and disoriented. Without the support of the black-armored knights, he pressed his temples but still felt dizzy. Without any support, his knees gave out, and he was about to fall to the ground.

But just as Li Yalin's body was about to touch the ground, a figure suddenly flashed by and firmly caught him.

This... such a fragrant smell!

In a daze, Li Yalin felt his body touch something very soft, and the fragrance made him even more disoriented.

What's going on?

Li Yalin struggled to open his eyes and was surprised to find himself in the arms of a beautiful girl!

Her flaxen ponytail was tied at the back, her emerald eyes sparkled like precious gems, and her delicate yet masculine face was like a person who had stepped out of a painting!

"%%#&..."

The girl spoke, but Li Yalin couldn't understand a word. However, her voice was truly beautiful, and Li Yalin couldn't help but be captivated.

Wait! Understanding the current situation is the priority!

Seeing that Li Yalin didn't respond, the girl shook her head in helplessness. Then she helped Li Yalin up and made a gesture to him.

What does this mean? Is she telling me to follow her?

Li Yalin was puzzled, but when he tried to ask, he couldn't understand what the girl was saying.

This is impossible to communicate.

With no other choice, they had to communicate through gestures.

But after a long time, the girl couldn't understand Li Yalin, and Li Yalin didn't know what the girl wanted. Finally, after a moment of thought, the girl grabbed Li Yalin's hand!

It wasn't as soft as he imagined. Instead, Li Yalin felt the girl's hand was a bit rough, as if she did a lot of physical labor.

What is she doing?

As a loser in life, being held by a girl should be a cause for celebration, but in this situation, Li Yalin felt no joy. He just wanted to know where he was and how to get home!

But the girl didn't waste any more time. With a gentle pull, she dragged Li Yalin away.

What strength!

Li Yalin tried to break free several times but failed. Helpless, he could only go along with it. How could a weak person resist such power?

Thus, Li Yalin was led by the girl through the depths of the castle to a very spacious room.

The room was dimly lit, with only some torches burning on the walls. In the center of the room stood a statue about three meters tall, a female angel with wings.

As Li Yalin looked up at the angel statue, he was surprised to find that the angel's image was very similar to the one on the card in his hand, almost identical!

Is it the same person?

Li Yalin examined it carefully, but just as he was about to confirm, the card in his hand emitted a red light again. As the red light shone on the statue in the room, a strong resonance occurred between the two!

What's happening?

The ground in the room was shaking, and Li Yalin felt something was wrong. His body felt heavy, and various images flashed through his mind...

Blood, slaughter, death...

What does this mean?

Finally, Li Yalin couldn't take it anymore and fell to the ground with a thud. Fainting twice in one day was truly embarrassing!

However, this time, Li Yalin didn't stay unconscious for long. It felt like just a moment to him. When he opened his eyes, he quickly got up from the ground.

Completely confused, Li Yalin turned his gaze to the flaxen ponytailed girl. At that moment, the girl knelt before him and placed her right hand on her chest.

"Welcome, Your Majesty, the Demon King!"
