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

A Kingdom in Crisis

In the grand capital of Solaria, banners of golden lions fluttered in the wind.

Within the Royal Palace, the air was tense.

King Alden III sat on his golden throne, his sharp eyes locked onto a young man standing before him.

This was Leon Everhart, the kingdom's greatest hero.

Blond-haired, blue-eyed, clad in shining silver armor, he was the pride of Solaria.

A warrior blessed by the gods themselves.

Even Leon was furious.

"…You expect me to ignore him?" he asked, his voice cold.

"This man—this Lazy Lord—dares to mock our world with his inaction! While we struggle, while we train, he does nothing and yet claims to be strong?"

Only Prime Minister Reynold, an elderly man with a long white beard, dared to speak.

"Leon, my boy," Reynold said gently. "This is not about pride. This is about survival."

Leon scoffed. "Survival? From what? A man who sleeps all day?!"

Reynold closed his eyes. "The gods have warned us."

Even the king's expression darkened. "Watch your tongue, Leon."

"I have trained for years to become the strongest. I was chosen by the divine! And yet, now you tell me that a man who has never lifted a sword in battle is superior to me? That I should bow to him?!"

Leon's eyes burned with determination.

A Challenge is Issued

News spread fast.

Within a single day, the entire continent learned that Leon Everhart, the Hero of Solaria, had officially challenged Frank Luminous to a duel.

Many reacted with excitement.

"The hero will put that lazy fraud in his place!"

"It's about time someone taught him a lesson."

"Leon will win. He's the strongest warrior alive!"

Others, however, were terrified.

"Does the hero have a death wish?"

"The gods themselves refuse to fight him…"

Meanwhile… at Frank's Estate

Elise stood in front of Frank, holding the challenge letter.

"This guy, Leon, wants to fight me?"

She massaged her temples. "Because he thinks you're an insult to warriors everywhere."

Frank frowned. "That's not very nice."

Elise gave him a flat look. "Frank, that's the least of our concerns."

Elise's eye twitched. "EH?! That's all you have to say?!"

Frank sat up. "I mean, it's not my problem."

She had known Frank for a long time.

And if there was one thing she had learned…

Frank only did things when he felt like it.

"…So what's your plan?" she asked.

"Well… I haven't been outside in a while."

The duel would take place in Solaria's Grand Colosseum.

Tens of thousands gathered to watch.

The king sat on his throne, flanked by nobles and knights.

Leon stood in the center of the arena, his sword shining under the sunlight.

Wearing his usual loose robe, his black hair messy, his golden eyes half-lidded with boredom…

He yawned as he stepped into the arena.

"You dare show up like this?" he growled.

"Like… LIKE THAT!" Leon gestured at Frank's outfit. "You didn't even bring a weapon!"

Frank scratched his head. "I didn't think I needed one."

The crowd exploded with rage.

"LEON, DESTROY HIM!"

"TEACH HIM HUMILITY!"

The battle was about to begin.
