The Craft Shop Owner Is the Mastermind

[It feels like this book talks to itself in a lot of dreamlike rambling, and much of the writing is overly stream-of-consciousness. Also, don't buy the final world. It's an abrupt cliff, so read with caution.] Li An started working at a handicraft shop. It was a nine-to-five job with no performance pressure and excellent benefits. There was only one problem: Why did all the customers seem a little strange? 1. Faith | Rebellion | Stone Tree In a hopeless land occupied by demons, as a sinful sacrifice is about to take place, a traitor from the tower raises the [Book of Secrets] and calls upon another deity from the far side of the world. Li An: ...It's just a notebook for doodling and writing. 2. Twins | Defiance | Paper City Besieged by the progenitor of vampires, a lamb draws the [Blade of Judgment] granted by the gods. In a dark and benighted age, the blade of faith parts the curtain of night, triumphing over a thousand armies. Li An: ...It's just a little knife I folded out of paper when I was bored. 3. Heavenly Ladder | Facing Death | Clay Painting Heaven and earth are in turmoil, the land is shattered, and the ladder to the clouds falls from the heights of the ninth heaven. Just when everyone has given in to despair, a young prodigy of the new generation wields the [Nameless Sword] and cleaves the cosmos with a single strike. Li An: ...There were a few scraps left over from carving, so I casually made a stone sword. 4. Spiritual qi revival | Fate Converges Spiritual qi revived, strange phenomena appeared everywhere, and spirits and demons emerged into the world, intent on devouring humanity. But Between heaven and earth, a divine tree towered above, shining its light upon all living beings. At the edge of the firmament, floating islands brought peace to the world. When the dream ended, a heavenly ladder awaited souls ready to climb to the highest heavens. Li An: Hm? Something doesn't seem right. * Li An was socially anxious. Her greatest wish in life was to find a job that didn't require her to interact with people. Then she died, and a black cat knocked on her door, speaking in human words. As it explained things to her, she did indeed find the ideal job. Running a shop where no human customers would ever appear. Li An happily agreed. After all, there wasn't much in a world full of humans that she would miss. * Before me was my first customer. As expected, it wasn't human. It was a rabbit with rather dirty-looking fur. * [Before You Start Reading] 1. In Li An's eyes, her customers are all nonhuman, but in reality, most of them are human. 2.
