Rumor has it that a certain CEO is not fond of women, yet his five-year-old son keeps clamoring for a mommy, while all the women who come forward get repeatedly rejected.

``` —Sally, para cumplir su deseo original, entró al Mundo Bestial y se transformó en un pequeño ratón blanco, también vinculándose al Sistema de Descendencia. —[La Línea de Dragón ha pasado diez mil años sin sangre nueva.] —[¿Cuántos puntos por la Línea de Dragón?] —[¡Quinientos millones!] ```

They feared a warlord. They summoned a legend. What they got… was a nap. In the sleepy village of Zhenbei, Gao Mingyu has one ambition: doing absolutely nothing. Nicknamed Fat Master Ming, he is a round-bellied hermit of snacks, snoozes, and sarcastic wisdom. But beneath the soft exterior, thick glasses, and unmatched laziness lies a secret—he is the last wielder of the long-lost Slumbering Tiger System, a mysterious cultivation path powered by rest, food, and sheer indifference. He once saved a province. Not that he remembers. But when celestial cranes block out the sun and an icy beauty from the Cloudborne Sect, Li Xuan, descends demanding aid against a world-ending threat, Mingyu’s peaceful life under the plum tree collapses faster than his bamboo mat during snack time. The seal on his arm awakens. The heavens stir. The System whispers. And the realms watch as the Indolent Slayer, a man too lazy to court the women he admires, is called to battle demons, ancient conspiracies, and his greatest enemy: effort. With the sharp-tongued Li Xuan by his side (and possibly in his heart), Mingyu is forced into a world of spiraling sect drama, legendary monsters, and sleeping dragons—literally. But the true question remains: Can a man who fights best in his dreams save the world… while still making it to lunch on time?

Veyne came from the life of sewer rats. The world saw him as a failure. He called it belief. Others called it stupidity. Either way, it was the only thing he had left. Even at rock bottom, Veyne never stopped believing in himself. Betrayed by his lover and brother, treated as a burden, and forced to slave endlessly in the game to chase his dream—he endured it all. Though late, his obsession was finally rewarded with an opportunity. But the sewer rat in him was too weak to hold onto it. He had fought the world and lost. Actions have consequences. And when he failed in the game, those consequences caught up to him, leading to his death. But the universe wasn’t done with him yet. Given a second chance, he returned to a time when the game had already been out for two years. This time, he rushed to obtain the Template Wilder class—the very class that led to his downfall. One of the game’s rarest hidden classes, the Wilder class, allowed him to switch into different forms based on the monster templates he possessed. An overpowered ability—but it came with a fatal catch. A hidden template forced him into the form of an ancient baby creature, one so cursed that players, monsters, and even NPCs would hunt him down. If he died in that form, his character would be permanently deleted. In his past life, he underestimated the class’s dangers. And the world tore him apart for it. This time, it wouldn’t be just hollow belief. This time, he’s not here to survive—he’s here to dominate. No emotional ties. No second chances. The entire game is his enemy, and he will crush anyone who stands in his way. He failed once. He suffered. He died. He was erased. Not this time. This is the beginning of his legend. The era of Veyne Draven.

You ever die, wake up in some medieval fantasy shithole, and get shackled to a snarky-ass system that thinks it’s your babysitter? No? Lucky you. Name’s Nyx. Ex-street rat, full-time bastard. I died dirty and pissed off — now I’m alive again in a world where monsters roam, nobles play gods, and everyone thinks they’re better than me. Newsflash: they’re not. I’ve got a second chance. A twisted-ass system glued to my soul. Broken stats, buried rage, and no grand destiny — just blood, grit, and survival. They call this place a game? Fine. I’ll play. Just don’t whine when I start breaking the rules. This ain’t some heroic fairy tale. I’m not the chosen one. I’m just the crazy bastard who won't stay dead. The system’s a bitch... and so am I.
