Description
Asterion’s first life had dragged on for far too long. From thevery first System prompt, Asterion was put through the wringer. He learned alien languages, mastered unknown magic, and fought monsters, men, and even a literal goddess. Watching his comrades fall one by one, Asterion faced the Dark Lady at the bitter end with a single thought:I quit. To guarantee it, he cast a self-destruction spell meant to take out both the Dark Lady and himself. So… why was he alive? He just wanted tofreaking rest. Why did shit keep happening to him? No, he could just go back to sleep. With the legendary loot in his inventory, taking a permanent nap wouldn’t even be that hard. Except some fancy new magic academy built on the 1st floor of the labyrinth had straight-up stolen his legendary relics and was using them to power their campus. Andstudents kept falling through random wormholes into his lap. But thesedungeon fodderweremad. “L-Lord A-Asterion, did you e-enjoy your meal today? Are there any other Earth dishes I can make for you next time?” “Master Asterion! I’ve developed a new venomous plant just for you!” And in a deeper core of the Abyss, an ancient entity was slowly rumbling. Perhaps there was a reason he had been revived. Who knew trying to be a lazy deadbeat wouldtakethis much work? Whatever. For now,he was going tofocus on makinga cozy labyrinth.

I like it.It is solid work. I can't see anything that I have real qualms with for pacing, grammar, or anything technical. Good work on that front.Our protagonist is perhaps not exactly lazy. I would say they are dealing with a more 'modern' ailment, burnout. They've been around and are just getting up on their feet again.What intrigues me is the period of time that is implied to be missing. Presumably the protagonist is also wanting to find out what happened. Looking forward to the scene where they kidnap some poor historian and viciously correct some details.I'll enjoy reading more.
