Opening a Convenience Store in a Strange World

Blurb:

After Xie Sheng dies unexpectedly, she is reborn in the body of someone who has already died. According to the original owner's memories, she has transmigrated to a peaceful, underdeveloped era. The original owner ran a convenience store in a rundown neighborhood, but every day, vicious customers came in and looted the shop without paying. She was so timid that the shock killed her.

Though Xie Sheng thinks the original owner's death was absurd, she is still grateful to have another chance at life.

However, she doesn't know that the original owner's memories have deceived her. This is no ordinary, peaceful, underdeveloped world. It's a terrifying, dangerous world of the supernatural, where any monster can devour an ordinary person like her.

But the monsters of this world don't know that Xie Sheng's own memories have deceived her too. She isn't an ordinary person at all. She's a... terrifying, evil Demon Lord.

As an ordinary person, Xie Sheng works hard to build a business in this "peaceful" world. After finally getting her empty, broke-down convenience store back on its feet, she once again encounters the bandits who come to shop without paying.

Faced with these brutal, vicious customers, she goes straight for the hard approach, rolling up her sleeves and punching them until they howl.

The neighborhood's monsters, beaten until they flee in panic: "..." How did this weak little shopkeeper we've been bullying get so strong?

After countless bloody lessons, the evil monsters of the neighborhood can only swallow their tears and submit to the shopkeeper's iron fists, learning to pay for their purchases.

And then... they come to love it.

"Wow, the shopkeeper's store just keeps getting bigger..."

"There are so many tasty things in the store. We have to pay for them, but the shopkeeper kindly gives us jobs, too."

"The shopkeeper is so kind, really. The money we earn working is just enough to buy three meals a day. We don't have to go hungry like before." The monsters thank the shopkeeper with tears in their eyes.

Meanwhile, the hardworking "capitalist" Xie Sheng happily counts her money in the convenience store, sighing as she goes: "Ah, the working people of this world are so simple and honest."

Please note: From the protagonist's perspective, everything in the supernatural world seems perfectly ordinary, automatically translating into familiar concepts.
