Synopsis

In a world constantly threatened by monsters and catastrophes, Kazuto was just an ordinary man living a dull, uninspired life—until he got fired from his job and lost all sense of purpose. Empty and unmotivated, his fate changed the day he crossed paths with Riku, a 15-year-old boy carrying a letter of utmost importance for his father.



As they chatted, a grotesque monster attacked, enraged over a hilariously petty grievance: someone had scribbled insults on its back during its transformation. Determined to protect Riku, Kazuto confronted the monster, rediscovering a spark of heroism he'd long forgotten since childhood. Against all odds, he defeated the monster using sheer wit, saving Riku, who thanked him before continuing his journey.



Inspired by the encounter, Kazuto made a life-altering decision: to train beyond human limits and become the strongest man alive. After three years of grueling, almost absurd training, Kazuto’s strength reached unimaginable levels. Now, he can obliterate any threat with a single punch, but his overwhelming power has left him trapped in a life of boredom. With no challenges, no glory, and no recognition, Kazuto finds himself facing a new kind of enemy: monotony.



Everything changes when Tatsuya, a young and stoic cyborg, clashes with a monstrous insect in a fierce battle. Despite his incredible power, Tatsuya is on the brink of defeat. At the last moment, Kazuto steps in and annihilates the monster with a single blow. Awestruck by Kazuto's overwhelming strength, Tatsuya pleads to become his disciple, convinced that this man holds the key to reaching perfection in his own quest for power.



As Kazuto navigates his apathetic routine, Tatsuya's fiery determination to grow stronger and their constant encounters with absurdly powerful monsters begin to inject a new sense of purpose into his life.

This novel is a gem for those looking for a lighthearted, hilarious, and action-packed experience. The protagonist, Kazuto, redefines what it means to be a hero by combining overwhelming strength with a completely laid-back attitude, while his new disciple, Tatsuya, brings excitement and humanity to the story. The narrative seamlessly transitions between intense battles against Kaijin monsters and absurdly funny dialogues that will have you laughing out loud. The characters are well-defined, with charming dynamics that strike the perfect balance between the ridiculous and the epic. Although the story focuses more on action and humor, the potential for world-building is immense. If the author chooses to dive deeper into the universe's background, this novel could become a classic in its genre. If you enjoy works like One Punch Man or Mashle, this story is for you.

Hi! I'm the shameless author of this novel, and I'm here to quickly rate my own work. If you decide to give it a try, feel free to let me know what you think and whether you liked it or not. I hope you enjoy the story and, uh, yeah. This story is inspired by "MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES" and "One Punch Man", so the protagonist will be incredibly powerful and won't have any powers. I hope you like my novel, and if you do, don't forget to support me with a Power Stone or a positive comment!
