I Got Powers, But I’m Too Lazy To Use Them

Aarav sat on the roof of a skyscraper.

Not because it looked cool.

Not because he wanted a dramatic skyline.

He just wanted a nap.

Above him, pigeons flew in perfect formation.

Below him, the city buzzed.

He yawned and stretched.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed.

[SYSTEM ONLINE]

BUNTY:

"Host Aarav detected. Congratulations. You are now officially overpowered."

Aarav blinked.

"…Cool. And?"

BUNTY:

"Your stats:

Strength: Infinite

Speed: Infinite

Intelligence: Slightly above human

Laziness: Maximum

Charisma: Confusingly charming"

Aarav sighed.

"So… I'm basically the universe's ultimate couch potato?"

BUNTY:

"Yes. Also, side note: you now attract villains, gods, monsters, and fan mail."

Aarav rolled over dramatically.

"Tell them I'm busy. Napping. Maybe later."

A bolt of lightning struck nearby, creating a giant crater.

A monster popped out.

Aarav raised one finger.

The monster exploded.

"Oops," he muttered.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to."

BUNTY:

"Host is dangerously casual about destruction."

Aarav picked up his mango juice.

"Relax, Bunty. Everything's under control. I just have… priorities."

BUNTY:

"Your priorities:

Sleep

Mango juice

Avoid saving the world unless necessary

Ice cream"

Aarav nodded.

"Exactly. Now, execute step one."

He flopped on the roof.

Meanwhile, below, city officials screamed.

The monster had disappeared, apparently dissolved into confetti.

Aarav muttered:

"They'll figure it out. Or not. Whatever."

BUNTY:

"Reminder: You are a walking apocalypse disguised as a lazy teenager."

Aarav sipped his mango juice.

"Best disguise ever."

And with that, he went back to napping, the sun setting behind him, the world slowly realizing…

Yeah, he was way too lazy to care.
