Save the World? I'm Too Lazy
For Lucian, who had lived a life full of betrayal, reincarnating into the world of the fantasy novel "Hero x Sword" wasn't a second chance—it was a grand annoyance to his desire for a quiet life. Reborn as Alaric Valerius, the son of a minor baron destined to be executed by the world's hero, he refuses to resign himself to such a troublesome fate.
His goal is simple: to live his second life with maximum laziness and absolute peace. However, to escape this destiny and finally achieve the peace he craves, he is forced to do the most inefficient and forbidden thing imaginable: kill the world's symbol of hope, "The Saint of Solian."
But this action tears the script of fate apart. The hero's death doesn't bring him the peace he craved. Instead, it awakens a new shadow that never existed in the original story. Strange, dark incidents begin to occur across the kingdom, heralding a far greater and more ominous disaster.
Now, Alaric is the world's most wanted fugitive, though no one knows his identity. Led by Set de Medeiros—the grieving Minister of War and the hero's uncle—the kingdom's entire military might is deployed to hunt down the mysterious assassin. At the same time, Alaric is the only person who realizes the world is beginning to deviate from the novel's plot, with a new, unexpected threat on the rise.
Hiding behind the mask of a lazy student who would rather sleep in class than train, Alaric must use all of his cunning to survive the greatest manhunt in the kingdom's history. It was all incredibly exhausting for him, but the prospect of death was a far greater annoyance than the effort required to live.
Will his identity as the hero's killer be revealed? Can a man whose greatest motivation is laziness be forced to save the world? And in a world that has lost its light, what dangers await in the newborn darkness?
