The Handicraft Shop Manager is Actually the Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind

Blurb: Li An joined a handicraft shop, working from nine to five, with no performance pressure and generous benefits. There's only one problem—

Why do the customers all look a bit strange?

1. Faith | Rebellious Bone | Stone Tree

In a hopeless country occupied by demons, when the sacrifice of sin descends, the high tower traitor raises the [Secret Book] in hand, calling the god from the other end of the world.

Li An: ……It's just a draft notebook for writing and drawing.

2. Twin | Diverging Paths | Paper City

Under the siege of the vampire progenitor, the lamb draws out the [Judgment Blade] gifted by the god. In the dim and ignorant times, the blade of faith tears open the curtain of night, surpassing thousands of troops and horses.

Li An: ……When bored with nothing to do, a small knife folded from paper.

3. Heavenly Ladder | Journey to Hardship | Mud Painting

Heaven and earth shake, mountains and rivers shatter. Ascending the cloud ladder falls from nine heavens away. When everyone falls into despair, the young generation's prodigy holds the [Nameless Sword], cleaving the universe with one sword.

Li An: ……Carved from some leftover scraps, a casual stone sword.

4. Spiritual Energy Revival | Destiny Convergence

Spiritual energy revives, anomalies abound everywhere, and monsters and demons emerge, intending to devour the human world.

But—

Between heaven and earth, the divine tree towers high, illuminating Buddha and all living beings.

At the end of the firmament, floating islands pacify the universe.

When dreams awaken, the nine heavens cloud ladder awaits the climb of souls.

Li An: Hmm? Something seems off somewhere.

Li An is a social phobe. Her biggest wish in this life is to have a job that doesn't require contact with people.

Later, she died. A black cat knocked on the door and spoke in human words.

Under His introduction, she indeed found her ideal job.

Operating a shop, a shop where no human customers will appear.

Li An happily agreed.

After all, a world full of humans really has nothing worth her lingering over.

Before her eyes is her first customer. Indeed, not human.

—That was a rabbit with fur that looked somewhat dirty.

[Entry Notes]

1. In Li An's eyes, her customers are not humans—but in actuality, most of them are humans.

2. In the customers' eyes, Li An is a profound and immeasurable mysterious shop manager—but Li An believes she is just an ordinary handicrafter.

3. Li An is not human. ## believes Li An is very special.

One-sentence summary: Shop manager: How did I not know?

Intent: Fate must be grasped in one's own hands.
