Raihan snuggled into his new reward—the World's Softest Pillow. It felt like resting his head on a cloud made of marshmallows. "Finally," he whispered, "peace and quiet."
[Ding! New Daily Quest: Breakfast of Champions!]
[Objective: Walk 500 meters to the nearest bakery and buy a croissant.]
[Penalty for Failure: Your new pillow will turn into a cactus for 24 hours.]
Raihan's eyes snapped open. "A cactus? You monster!"
He looked at the clock. 11:30 AM. Walking 500 meters felt like running a marathon to him. But the thought of sleeping on a cactus was a nightmare he couldn't afford.
Groaning, he rolled out of bed, still wearing his mismatched pajamas. He didn't even bother brushing his hair. "Fine, System. But after this, I'm sleeping until next Tuesday."
As he shuffled down the street, dragging his feet, the System screen kept popping up.
[Ding! You have walked 10 steps. Stamina -1. Laziness Point +10.]
[Ding! You are leaning against a lamp post to rest. Skill Unlocked: Vertical Napping (Level 1).]
"Can't even walk in peace," Raihan grumbled.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake. People started screaming and running in the opposite direction. A giant, armored rhinoceros—a Class-D Mana Beast—had escaped a nearby rift and was charging straight down the main road.
"Run! It's a Iron-Hide Rhino!" someone shouted at Raihan.
Raihan stayed still. Not because he was brave, but because moving faster required too much energy. The rhino was heading straight for the bakery. His bakery. The place with his croissant.
"Hey, big guy," Raihan yawned, stretching his arms. "You're blocking the sidewalk. And you're making too much noise."
The rhino snorted, sparks flying from its horn. It lowered its head and charged at full speed.
Raihan didn't move. He just stood there, eyes half-closed. As the rhino was inches away, Raihan simply tripped. It wasn't a tactical move; his slipper just got caught on a crack in the pavement.
[Skill Activated: The Lazy Man's Stumble!]
As Raihan fell forward, his elbow accidentally poked the rhino's sensitive nose with the weight of his entire 'lazy' body.
CRACK!
The reinforced armor of the beast shattered like glass. The massive rhino flipped over Raihan's head, skidded across the asphalt, and crashed into a fountain, unconscious.
[Ding! Class-D Beast Defeated!]
[Exp Gained: 2000]
[Level Up! Level Up!]
[Title Earned: The Unmoving Wall.]
The crowd stood in dead silence. A guy in pajamas just one-shotted a Mana Beast while falling over?
Raihan slowly got up, dusting off his knees. He didn't even look at the fallen monster. He just walked into the bakery, bought his croissant, and headed back home.
"Being a hero is way too exhausting," he muttered, taking a bite. "I need a nap to recover from this nap."
[System Note: Host, you are now the most famous person on social media. People are calling you 'The Pajama God'.]
Raihan stopped. "Famous? That means more people talking to me? More noise?"
He walked faster. He needed to lock his door before the 'work' of being famous found him.
