The Lazy Genius With 999x System

Jay stood beneath a sky fractured with glitching code. Shards of distorted light rained like silent static, but he didn't flinch. The system window in front of him kept flickering—lines of forbidden text attempting to reconstruct a memory someone had desperately tried to erase.

File: Project Slumbermind – Subject 03-999

Status: Classified / Failed Termination

Executioner Venn didn't press the attack. For once, he was watching.

"You weren't built to fight," Venn finally said. "You were built to break the cycle. To test whether a hero could win without lifting a finger. A simulated savior... one the world would never see coming."

Jay's voice was steady, eerily calm. "Then why erase me?"

"Because you worked," Venn replied, stepping forward. "Too well."

The wind howled. The system glitched.

Jay's mind flicked back—visions of himself sleeping in a cold white lab, electrodes tied to his temples, simulations playing endlessly as kingdoms fell and rose in carefully constructed dreams. Not a soldier. Not a genius. A bystander programmed to manipulate outcomes with sheer passive existence.

[Effect: Events gravitate toward host's subconscious will.]

"So you erased my memories," Jay said, his voice now razor-sharp. "Dropped me into a normal academy and hoped I'd vanish in boredom."

Venn's silence was confirmation.

"And now?" Jay asked.

"Now, you're waking up," Venn replied. "And the world isn't ready for that."

Suddenly, chains of red data surged from the ground—Code Binders, designed to suppress anomalies like Jay. They latched around his arms, neck, ankles. System alerts blared.

> [WARNING: Forceful Containment Attempt Detected]

[Host Status: Non-Combatant | Adaptive Countermeasures Deploying…]

Jay didn't fight. He simply… slouched.

And every chain snapped.

A wave of lazy, glitchy pressure rippled outward—slowing time, bending logic, and overriding code.

> [New Passive Manifested: "Effort Denied – Host Cannot Be Restricted By Tasks Deemed 'Too Annoying'."]

Venn took a step back. "That's not possible."

Jay stood upright for real this time. Not hunched. Not sleepy.

Just... aware.

"You wanted Subject 03-999," he said, looking Venn dead in the eye. "You got him. Fully awake."

From behind the academy walls, alarms began to scream. Mages from all three towers scrambled toward the courtyard. And high above, a new panel appeared in the sky:

> [SYSTEM ALERT: LEVEL 9 GLITCH UNSEALED. AUTHORITIES DISPATCHED.]

Alicia grabbed Jay's shoulder. "Jay... we need to run."

Jay looked up at the red sky, then back at Venn.

"No," he whispered. "We need to finish this—before the next executioner arrives."

The truth about Project Slumbermind has surfaced—and Jay's passive powers are evolving into something beyond prediction. But now that he's awakened, the world's higher systems are coming online to contain him. Will he fight, or will his laziness rewrite the battle itself?
