I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Ling PingAn, the proprietor of a humble bookstore, desires only a life of quiet inaction. However, his quiet existence is disrupted by adolescent customers arriving late at night, each grappling with their own crises. To maintain his business, Ling PingAn indulges their dramatic pronouncements, diligently recommending his books in a manner he believes appeals to them. After arduous sales pitches, these customers confess they lack funds, offering seemingly divine artifacts as collateral. Reluctantly, Ling PingAn accepts their unusual payments. Unbeknownst to him, the books they purchase undergo a startling transformation in appearance. Titles like "Secrets of Cosplay" morph into "Lower Abyss Research Report," and "Stellaris: Settings for Synth Ascension" becomes "Gospel for Synthetic Beings." To these customers, Ling PingAn is not a bookseller but a terrifying overlord of Diablos, an entity controlling all realms. He vehemently denies this, stating, "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
