Demonic Sect Elder Cultivates Righteous Disciples

The thrilling opening installment of a xianxia series that takes the least qualified human and puts him in the most impossible--but hilarious--of positions.

Before meeting his pathetic and all-too-predictable demise in the middle of a pie-eating contest, Zack was living the high life: schlubbing around his parents' basement, subsisting on pizza, video games, computer screens, and web novels. He had it all . . . while still being a big, fat nothing.

But when he's forced to ditch his pudgy mortal corpse, Zack finds himself taking the place of a recently-killed demonic sect elder known as Slifer, who--even as an elderly man--is one serious badass. He's known and feared by all as a master, with a slew of disciples at his beck and call. Not a bad upgrade from the uber-nerd Zack used to be.

Unfortunately, there are some snags. First, Slifer wasn't exactly a people person and has a slew of enemies out to remove his head from his body. Second, the overlord System he's operating under is out to eliminate all demonic cultivators--himself included. And third, well, let's wait and see if he survives the first two before we get to that mess . . .
