The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I’m Morning Star LL! Meet again, huh! Along with "This Game is Too Real" another novel titled "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" has been released. Still one "player + isekai" combination. This time, however, the isekai is a completely fantastical world detached from reality, the legendary realm of swords and magic. The primary motivation behind writing this book was to address the regrets left from "This Game is Too Real" Although I endeavored to incorporate as much of my intended message and the creative ideas that emerged during the writing process, I had to give up many ideas due to length constraints. Thus, I thought why not start from scratch and write about a game set against the backdrop of a fantasy world, shifting the focus more on the original inhabitants of the isekai rather than the players from Earth, to see if it could generate more interesting interactions. Like "This Game is Too Real", "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" primarily features a light-hearted and humorous style. Without the burden of a serious overarching background, the overall tone is somewhat more cheerful than "This Game is Too Real". I'll leave the rest of the content for you all to discover within the book! I hope that you will enjoy my work! Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— Succubus Reporter: "Respected Lord Demon King, I remember the Demon God ordered you to spread panic among our enemies, but how come I've heard that you bought an entire street in the enemy's city center?" Luo Yan: "Foolish! Don't you understand tactical relocation? If I buy up the humans' city, won't the humans have to move into my underground city to live?" Succubus Reporter: "However, I heard that when the humans learned even the Demon King was buying property in the Holy City, not only did it fail to cause panic, but it also doubled the property prices in the Holy City." Luo Yan said smugly. "This precisely proves that my plan is correct!" Meanwhile, in the underground city, the skeletal miners (players) were making a fuss. "Get the game designer out here!" "What happened to promised divine pets, divine equipment, nurturing, achievements, the marketplace, junior female fellow practitioners, senior female fellow practitioners... the system, huh?" "Is this game really just about mining?!"

This Game Is Too Real

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I am Morning Star LL, and I am delighted to meet you all in this way! To be honest, I never imagined that my work would have such a large readership outside China. I was absolutely astonished when my editor told me there were thousands of comments. Before this, my writings were primarily aimed at Chinese readers, and it never crossed my mind that my words would one day be translated into another language. I am both humbled and grateful. I am also extremely honored that my recent work, "This Game is Too Real," has been given the opportunity to reach an international audience. Unlike my previous works, this book is probably the one into which I've invested the most time and effort. It is set in a fictional post-apocalyptic wasteland. The story mainly revolves around a once-thriving civilization that collapses overnight after a disaster. The MC from Earth uses a legacy system to disguise the entire world as a game, leading players on a quest to save civilization. It intertwines the fates of the struggling survivors in the wasteland with mutual redemption, while also uncovering the historical truths buried beneath the dust. This book contains several easter eggs with "Scholar's Advanced Technological System," but mentioning them might spoil the story, so I'll leave it to the readers to discover! Moreover, the overall tone of the book remains cheerful and light-hearted. Despite the world being harsh and full of danger, I believe that even in the darkest moments, the warmth and resilience inherent in humanity will continue to shine brightly, emitting the power to dispel the darkness. It would be my greatest honor if my words resonate with you! And the word "resonate" is also a major clue within the story itself. Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— This game is too freaking realistic! Bricklaying, running errands, picking up trash, delivering parcels... At most, the company lets you experience the hardships of a 996 schedule, but here you can feel the extreme bonus of 007. Alright, enough chit-chat, the great Manager has called me to lay some bricks. That Manager said that as long as we work our livers off, he can get a brand-new set of power armor next month, and then he'll take us to explore a brand new map, picking up even more trash in the vast Wasteland! ... After teleporting to the Waste World, Chu Guang discovered that he had unlocked the "shelter system" and could summon creatures called "players" from a parallel world. From that day on, nothing in the Waste World was normal anymore.
