An 18-year-old poor college student tried to apply for a job as a tutor but his life almost ended as demons' meal. In his last breath, a mysterious woman gave him a strange power. When he opened his eyes he had turned into a demon with a system that would turn him into… A pervert.

Now he must lived with his dual identity as a model student named Ethan and an incubus named Damian.

Lin Mo transmigrated to an eastern fantasy world.

He started off with a classic “zero to hero” opening.

He became responsible for managing the market place meant for newcomers at Initial Heart Village, which is a small town in the countryside.

He thought that he would live the rest of his life uneventfully as a businessman.

He didn’t expect that he would awaken the [Auction Rebate System]

As long as the auction house sells items, Lin Mo would receive rebates several times the value of the item sold.

[Ding! The host had auctioned off a rusty bronze sword. Rebate give: Ninth Rank Ultra Weapon: God Slayer Sword!]

[Ding! …]

As such, Lin Mo’s insane path to greatness has begun!
