In a world where strength determines fate, Frank Luminous was destined to reign supreme. By the time he turned one year old, he had already surpassed the gods, unlocked the mysteries of existence, and reached a level of power so absurd that nothing—not even divine intervention—could erase him.

And yet… he does nothing.

Instead of conquering nations, he sleeps.
Instead of fighting wars, he reads.
Instead of showing his strength, he eats and relaxes.

Because why bother? There’s no challenge, no rival, no threat that could ever make him take anything seriously.

The world, however, doesn’t see it that way. To them, he is "The Lazy Lord"—a noble disgrace who wastes away in luxury, unaware of the chaos beyond his lands. They mock him. They misunderstand him. They fear him.

But when the gods themselves attempt to erase his existence—only to fail—the world begins to realize the terrifying truth:

Frank Luminous is not lazy. He is simply beyond them.

And when they finally push him too far… they will learn what happens when the most powerful being in existence stops pretending to be idle.

A story of limitless power, misunderstood strength, and the quiet ruler who holds the fate of reality in his hands—whether he cares or not.

– An endless journey of battle, strategy, and absurd dominance awaits!

ETERNAL SLUMBER: THE LAZY LORD WHO RULES THE WORLD

The Noble Who Coveted Power

Duke Reynard Grahm was a man who desired absolute power. A high-ranking noble, he was known for his ambition, arrogance, and ruthlessness. However, there was one thing he could not stand—Frank Luminous.

"A lazy fool who does nothing yet bears the Luminous name?" Reynard sneered. "What an insult to nobility!"

The rumors were spreading—the Emperor himself hesitated before Frank, and the Assassin's Guild declared him untouchable. Reynard refused to believe it.

"How can a man who does nothing be a threat?" he scoffed.

Determined to prove Frank was just a worthless noble, Reynard made a reckless decision.

He would challenge Frank Luminous to a duel.

An Invitation to Battle

At Luminous Manor, Frank lay on a couch, flipping through a book while Elise poured him tea. The air was peaceful.

Then, a loud knock shattered the silence.

Elise frowned and opened the door, revealing a noble dressed in extravagant clothing—a messenger from Duke Reynard.

"The esteemed Duke Reynard Grahm has issued a formal challenge to Lord Frank Luminous." The messenger handed over a letter with a golden seal.

Elise's expression darkened. "A duel?"

Frank, who had barely glanced up from his book, sighed. "Again?"

Elise clenched the letter. It wasn't the first time some noble tried to challenge Frank, and each time, it ended in humiliating failure—though none of them knew why.

She turned to Frank. "Should I reject it?"

Elise blinked. He actually agreed?

Frank yawned. "I suppose it's time someone learned a lesson."

The duel was set in the Royal Coliseum, a grand arena where nobles and knights tested their skills. The seats were packed with high-ranking officials, all eager to see Frank Luminous humiliated.

At the center of the arena stood Duke Reynard, clad in golden armor. He grinned confidently, holding an enchanted sword that radiated power.

Frank stood lazily, wearing his usual loose robes, his expression indifferent. He didn't even bring a weapon.

"He's not even taking this seriously!"

"Duke Reynard will crush him in an instant!"

The referee stepped forward. "The duel begins in three… two…"

Before he could finish, Reynard lunged forward, swinging his sword with all his strength.

But the sword stopped an inch from Frank's neck.

Reynard's body froze mid-motion. His muscles refused to move.

Sweat poured down his face. He couldn't even breathe.

Frank tilted his head, his golden eyes glowing faintly.

"I gave you a chance to reconsider," he said lazily. "But you insisted."

Reynard felt something worse than death—a crushing force that made his entire existence feel insignificant.

Frank raised his hand.

A gust of wind swept through the coliseum, and Reynard's enchanted sword crumbled into dust.

The arena fell silent.

Reynard collapsed to his knees, his mind broken. He could no longer process what just happened.

The nobles, the officials, even the Emperor himself—all of them sat in stunned silence.

No one would ever challenge Frank Luminous again.

He was beyond them.
