Background:
The Bookseller is a mysterious and ancient cosmic entity, often perceived as a demonic figure or a universal constant. His existence and actions transcend time and space, and he is known for his singular mission to sow chaos across the world. The origins and reasons behind his actions remain shrouded in mystery, adding to his enigmatic and fearsome reputation.

Nature and Purpose:
Some believe The Bookseller to be a necessary part of the cosmic balance, a being whose role is to perpetuate chaos as a counter to order. Others view him as a malevolent force, deliberately seeking to disrupt and destroy. Regardless of perspective, his impact is universally acknowledged as chaotic and destructive.

The Black Book:
The Bookseller wields a notorious artifact known as “The Black Book.” This ancient book is not merely a collection of text; it is a lethal weapon. It entices readers with its compelling allure, only to trap them within its pages. Once a person begins reading, they are physically drawn into the book, transformed into a character in one of its sinister stories, and ultimately killed. The transformation is both literal and final, as the victim’s existence in the real world ends, and they become a permanent part of The Black Book’s narrative.

Modus Operandi:
Traveling across different realms and realities, The Bookseller uses The Black Book to inject chaos into orderly systems. His presence is often preceded by disturbances in natural order and inexplicable events. Those who encounter him are drawn to The Black Book, unable to resist its dark allure until it’s too late.

Current Status:
The Bookseller continues his eternal journey, moving from place to place, leaving a trail of chaos and destruction. His current whereabouts are unknown, and it is unclear what his next target will be. What remains constant is his commitment to chaos, making him a figure of both fascination and fear.
