Alokita walked toward the East Wall with a serious face.Inside, he was already tired.
"Why am I walking so far?" he muttered.
[System Notice: Walking increases leg strength by 0.01%]"Yeah, yeah… thanks, coach," he sighed.
The street was full of people running toward shelters. Hunters were shouting orders.He looked around for food stalls. "Maybe I should eat first. Fighting monsters on an empty stomach sounds dangerous."
He found a small noodle shop still open. The owner stared at him."Kid, the city is in danger and you're ordering noodles?"Alokita smiled. "If I die, I want to die full."
While eating, his system suddenly spoke:
[System Mission Updated: Energy Refill Complete]Reward: +5 HP Recovery]
Alokita blinked. "Wait, I get stronger by eating? Now that's my kind of system!"
Just then, a small green monster ran into the shop, scaring everyone.The noodle owner screamed, "A Slime! Help!"
The slime jumped at Alokita — who just picked up his bowl and leaned aside lazily.The monster hit a hot pot of soup, burned itself, and exploded.
Everyone stared in shock.The owner's mouth dropped open. "Y-You defeated it in one move!"
Alokita blinked. "Huh? Oh… yeah. Totally planned that."
[System Notice: Monster Defeated.]Skill Gained: Evasion (Lv.1)
He grinned quietly. "See? Being lazy has its benefits."
As he left the shop, the system spoke again:
[Next Mission: Continue walking toward East Wall.][Hint: Maybe buy more noodles for EXP.]
He laughed. "You're learning from me now, huh?"
The crowd watched him go — thinking he was a calm, fearless hero walking to face the monsters.But in truth, he was just looking for another snack stall.
And that's how Alokita, the Lazy Genius, became a "local hero" completely by accident.
The East Wall was loud and chaotic.Hunters in armor were shouting, guards running, weapons glowing.And in the middle of all that… stood Alokita, yawning.
"Hey, kid! This area is dangerous!" a soldier barked.Alokita nodded. "Oh, okay."Then didn't move.
The soldier frowned. "I said leave!""I will… after I finish this bun."
[System Notice: Energy +3 | Calm Mind +1 Skill Unlocked]
The man stared. "Is he eating in a war zone?"
Suddenly, a small monster jumped over the wall—like a lizard with wings.Hunters rushed to fight, but one tripped and dropped his spear.It rolled… straight to Alokita's feet.
He sighed. "Fine…" He lazily picked it up and poked the monster once.The spear hit its weak point perfectly—instant kill.
Everyone froze.
"W-Whoa! Nice strike!" one Hunter shouted.Another whispered, "Did he just solo that beast?"Alokita blinked. "Uh… yeah. Sure."
[Monster Defeated | Skill: Precision +1]
Inside, the system laughed softly:
[You call it luck, I call it calculation.]
He whispered back, "Don't make me sound cool, I'm just trying to eat."
The Hunter leader came over. "Kid, what's your rank?"Alokita scratched his head. "Uh… Normal civilian?"The leader's eyes widened. "Civilian?! And you killed a beast?""Wasn't planning to. It just… happened."
The team looked at him with mixed faces—half awe, half confusion.
"Fine, kid," the leader said. "Stay behind us. Don't do anything stupid.""Perfect," Alokita said. "Doing nothing is my specialty."
They marched forward. Monsters roared beyond the wall, and the Hunters readied their weapons.Alokita followed at the back, eating the rest of his bun.
[System Notice: Observation Mode Active — Analyzing Combat Skills…]
He grinned quietly.While everyone thought he was just a lazy, weak civilian, his system was secretly copying every move they made.
And so, the "useless boy" who everyone ignored kept walking behind the heroes—quiet, hungry, and leveling up faster than all of them.
