The Demon Lord's Unfathomable Depths

When the Demon God commanded Luo Yan to spread panic among humanity, no one expected his strategy to involve real estate. During an interview with a succubus reporter, the Demon Lord proudly explains his master plan: by purchasing an entire street in the heart of the human holy city, he intends to force the humans out and drive them into his own dungeon—a tactical base swap. However, his scheme backfires spectacularly. Rather than inciting terror, the news that the fearsome Demon Lord is investing in the holy city only causes property values there to double. Oblivious to this failure, Luo Yan remains smugly convinced that everything is proceeding exactly according to his brilliant design. Meanwhile, deep within the dungeon, the reality of his domain is far less majestic. The skeleton miners working the depths are not terrifying undead soldiers, but rather players who have logged into what they believed was a feature-rich game. Instead of the divine pets, legendary equipment, cultivation systems, achievements, shops, and martial sisters promised to them, they find themselves stuck doing nothing but mining ore. Frustrated and furious, the players riot against the developers, completely unaware that their so-called game world is being run by an eccentric Demon Lord whose grand economic strategies are just as baffling as his missing game mechanics.
