Book Hero thinking about your next read

Fed up with cocky heroes always looking to save the day, the blue Demon King of the Underworld calls upon young boy Sotoyama Shinichi for assistance, and once the two make a deal, the king resumes his visit to the human world until he realizes he may have chosen the wrong person for the job.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Shinichi Sotoyama might just be the world's most average high schooler. That is, until he finds himself summoned by the Blue Demon King to a fantasy world—just like his favourite RPG games! Except this Demon King is pathetically begging at his feet, lamenting the arrival of some heroes... who apparently have infinite lives and respawn over and over again?!

Unlike his hysterical summoner, Shinichi coolly takes on the challenge of fending off these pesky heroes, literally shaking hands with the devil. But the demon clan is about to find out that his twisted mind is darker than the worst of them!
