Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Yang Yu, a gaming streamer peddling walkthrough guides, collapses after a seventy-two-hour marathon session and awakens in the presence of a celestial entity. Tasked with conquering a brutal RPG, he accepts the god's challenge—selecting the most punishing starter class available. Armed only with basic stats, Yang Yu discovers harsh truths: slimes are untouchable, taunting enemies requires genuine verbal abuse, and the gacha system delivers exclusively useless pulls. Rather than despair, he discovers exhilaration in adversity. True gamers thrive on difficulty, not ease. As his character sheet expands with each grueling triumph, Yang Yu becomes intoxicated by his growing power and influence within the game world. Nothing can satisfy his craving for dominance—until he spots a solitary hero traversing the landscape. A devious plan forms: enslave this warrior and add them to his arsenal. But the hero's counterattack catches him off-guard. 'Wait, is that hero actually coming toward me? Hero, don't run away!'
