The Lazy Dungeon Master

Adrian Voss was a top-ranked beta tester—until the game wiped his progress and erased his tracks. Now a nameless nobody in Primordial Abyss, he has nothing... except a broken class that lets him control dungeon bosses. Forget farming. Forget grinding. Adrian doesn’t need to level up—he just needs dungeons. Every monster he subjugates fights for him, every boss he enslaves generates passive income, and every greedy player who steps into his domain? They drop loot when they die. From the shadows, he builds an empire, turning dungeons into PvP traps and farming the foolish who dare to challenge his rule. As whispers of him will spread and top guilds, corporate players, and elite assassins start hunting him— But they don’t realize… the real dungeon isn’t in the game. It’s the one he’s trapping them inside. Let the hunt begin.

Yue Xuexia is just an ordinary salted fish that rarely lives in her house, but suddenly one day she woke up, received a sign-in system, and thought she was dreaming. The sign-in system rewarded her with multiple things, including houses, money, cars, and talent scrolls, which led her to the life of the richest lady in the world. She could sign in once a day. One morning, with her eyes groggily and blurry, Xuexia was welcomed by a holographic screen only she could see. Yes, like the ones in the novels and manga. Ding! Xuexia waves her hand in the empty air and mumbles, "Noisy, I told you to turn off the damn alarm, whoever owns it!" When a robotic voice lingered near her ears saying, Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host, and you've received [1 Million RMB in cash!] Xuexia, who is currently in need of great money, was in disbelief as she looked at the words one million and laughed. "Heh~ even in my dream, I was wishing to receive free money. What nonsense, let's go back to sleep. Yue Xuexia was about to close her eyes back to sleep when the old touch screen phone near her pillow vibrates. Bzzt~ Bzzzzzt~ "Urg~ who the hell is calling now?" complained Yue Xuexia in her half-asleep state. She picked up the phone only to see a message notification saying the following words: [Your bank card account ending with 5567 had received a deposit transfer from XXXX at 6:45 am. You had received a 1 million deposit and your current saving balance is 1,003,000.00 RMB (Autumn Field landbank)] Yue Xuaxia mumbled in disbelief and said, "Fucking hell! This is awesome." Who doesn’t like free things?~' This lady wants it too!!!

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.

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.

Reina Suzuki was an overworked office worker—until she died and woke up as Lavinia Devereux, the infamous villainess princess of the Elarion Empire.
