Even the Demon King Wants to Keep a Low Profile

When other people are reincarnated, they become lords or ministers, or at the very least, human beings. When Qian Cheng was reincarnated... well, he became an unknown object. A lump, pitch-black, with no clear outline, its blurry appearance as if it came with a mosaic filter. The blurry thing instinctively tried to blink "Oh, this is freaking great!" Qian Cheng realized, three beats too late, that his lump of an unknown object didn't even have eyes. In his previous life, he worked overtime every day and eventually died suddenly. He never got to eat what he wanted or have any fun. The world was so big, and he'd never been anywhere. What a raw deal! In this life, Qian Cheng, still an unknown object, secretly vowed to be a salted fish who did nothing but lie flat. He'd prop himself up with one hand and stay out of the world's affairs. But he had no idea that his "birth" had caused... The pillars in the Holy Mier Main Temple of Light cracked. The boulders in the Dragon Abyss collapsed. The soul candles deep underground, said to have never gone out, had finally fallen dark. According to legend, the seventh Demon King, destined to upset the balance of the world, was about to be born. Merfolk, elves, dragons, giants, humans, dwarves, and even demons... Every race in the Great River World was on the move. They had just one goal: kill the new Demon King! Blurb 2: In his previous life, Qian Cheng read novels where the protagonist always became everyone's darling after transmigrating. He was different: he died suddenly, then got reincarnated as everyone's target. What does it mean to be everyone's target? Well, it's when every dog walking by and every fish swimming in the water wants to kill you. Doesn't matter if they're human, dog, or fish, they all want you dead. Burdened by a prophecy of world destruction, Qian Cheng only wants to lie flat. But scheming, manipulation, and attempts to win him over are all part of the deal. He watches coldly and takes it all in stride. Until everyone trying to kill him turns into everyone doting on him? Tch! Anyone who won't let me lie flat is no good! I'll crush anyone who gets in the way of my salted-fish life. Many years later, with the whole world trembling in his shadow, Qian Cheng finally understood one truth. "You can lie flat, as long as everyone else lies flatter than you. Ideally, they're beneath your feet." From an unknown Demon King. P.S. This novel is also known as "Everyone Around Me Is Putting on an Act and Wants to Kill Me, What Do I Do?" and "I Wake Up Every Day with a Bunch of People, Dragons, and Fish Trying to Chop Me Up. How Do I Stay Cheerful?" and "I Told You I Wasn't Causing Trouble, So Stop Being Afraid" and "The Demon King's Observation Notes" and "How Can You Possibly Lie Flat?" Reading Guide: The protagonist was an ordinary person in his previous life. When he first arrives in another world, he'll go through a period of confusion and adjustment, lasting about twelve or thirteen chapters. He seems lazy, is often nonsensical and carefree, and sees through most things without saying so. If he can lie flat, he absolutely won't stand up. Of the seven races, he favors humans in the early part of the story. If you dislike this personality, please don't read.
