I Didn't Mean to Become a Demon Lord

One brain-computer interface. One impulsive decision. An entire destiny rewritten. After losing his job, Lin Yi takes a chance at his childhood friend's cutting-edge tech company—only to discover that their revolutionary neural device doesn't just read thoughts, it rewrites reality itself. A single moment wearing that helmet catapults him into a world where his idle fantasies manifest as terrifying power, and before he knows it, everyone's calling him the Demon Lord. He never asked for dark armies, forbidden magic, or a reputation that makes heroes tremble. He just wanted to pay rent.
