Demon King: Hero, don’t run away! Novel

Yang Yu, a single-player game streamer who earned his living creating game guides, dies after a marathon seventy-two-hour gaming session. Unaware of his death, he accepts a deity's invitation to tackle an RPG game world, foolishly selecting the most difficult civilian starting class. The result? He can't even defeat basic slimes outside the beginner village, must actually shout taunts aloud to use taunt skills, and pulls nothing but worthless items from the gacha system. But rather than being discouraged by these brutal challenges, Yang Yu becomes thrilled. As a dedicated gamer, he craves difficulty over ease. Gradually building up his meager stats brings him intense satisfaction, fueling an addiction to chaos and risk-taking. When he spots a solitary hero, he immediately plots to recruit them as a battle unit, only to be noticed first. The hero flees, prompting Yang Yu's desperate cry.
