The Lazy Chef

In the world of the gods, power is everything. The strong gods rule, while the weak are nothing but a laughing stock. Lazu, the laziest and considered the weakest god in Elysum, has no followers, no territory, or power to be proud of. He just wants to sleep all day and enjoy a carefree life. However, everything changes when the Supreme God forbids war between gods. Instead, they must fight through a strategy game, where each god can recruit disciples from the mortal world and form their own clan. The power-hungry gods immediately make their move, gathering the strongest warriors and building an army. Meanwhile, Lazu—who doesn't want to bother—ends up with a disciple who is considered useless. Everyone thought he would lose from the start. But they forgot one thing: this game is not just about strength, but also cunning. With his cunning mind, Lazu begins to turn the tables, exploiting loopholes in the rules, and toying with the much more powerful gods. Little by little, he rose through the ranks, frustrating his enemies, and unknowingly became the most dangerous player in Elysum. By the time the gods began to realize the threat posed by this “Weakest God,” it was too late. Lazu had gone too far. It wasn’t about who was the strongest anymore. It was about who was the smartest at playing. And Lazu? He just wanted to sleep soundly… after winning this game.

In a world where women hold power and men are rare, a boy wakes up alone in the depths of one of the most dangerous forests. He has memories—some hazy, some painfully clear. Memories of a life before, where he had once been an energetic boy, a budding mechanical engineer, before tragedy drained all color from his world. Now, he is twelve again, orphaned once more, surviving off berries and instinct, waiting for parents he knows will never return. But fate does not let him stay forgotten. One night, an injured group of adventurers stumbles into his quiet existence. Unbeknownst to him, they are no ordinary travelers—they are a princess and her elite soldiers, wounded after a deadly battle against a notorious criminal. When they seek shelter in his fragile hut, he reluctantly offers them aid—not out of kindness, but because he knows all too well the pain of losing people. What starts as a simple act of charity turns into something more. As they recover, the women begin to question the strange boy who lives alone in the deadly wilderness. His words, his habits, his view of the world—nothing about him fits his age. And when they witness his quiet sorrow, the way he cries in his sleep, they begin to wonder... Who is he, really? And more importantly—can they convince him to leave before this forest swallows him whole? A tale of second chances, reluctant bonds, and a boy who has lost too much, set in a world where survival is never guaranteed.

Beneath the vast and infinite starry skies of the universe, countless tribes engage in endless strife, and the flames of war remain unquenched.

Yet, in a single night, he understood the Dao, and took a step that shattered the shackles of life.

To him, even the most profound and enigmatic of secret tomes were as simple and dull as children's books. Still, he had to go back and fill in the gaps of his cultivation...

Armed with overwhelming power he never uses, absurd luck, and an undying love for sleep, Lucas must navigate battles, assassins, and royal conspiracies—all while trying to maintain his nap schedule.

Step 1: Find yourself an overpowered Awakener. Not just any Awakener, mind you; aim for the one who takes down bosses solo, preferably with a scowl. They’re the ticket to your hassle-free existence. Step 2: Power up your Awakener. Feed them, encourage them, and let them do all the XP grinding. The stronger they are, the safer you’ll be. Step 3: Marry the Awakener. Lock it down, officially. With this, your safety is practically guaranteed. Step 4: Relax and let the Awakener handle the world’s chaos. You’re now free to enjoy your easy, drama-free life. (Well, mostly.) --- P.S. 1. Steps 2 and 3 are totally interchangeable—or combine them. It worked for me. 2. Forget heroes; look for the anti-hero. The selfish ones, villains? That’s where your real safety lies. 3. You may need to deal with some light trauma cleanup now and then, but it’s no biggie. 4. Not foolproof, but hey, it worked for me! *** Lol it's romance okay, no fight scenes, no system interface cause I'm too lazy to do that research, just romance a hot man,hot woman and some smut here. And a plot. [Two chapters daily] [Please comment and review, votes too]
