*Mocked as the laziest man in the kingdom, Airen Farreira has decided to simply turn his back on the world and sleep his life away. When the rest of the world gets up in the morning, Airen remains in bed; when everyone else goes to bed, Airen is already asleep. But when he starts dreaming about a mysterious swordsman who spends his entire life honing his skills, Airen's life turns upside down. The diligent swordsman in his dreams somehow starts a fire in the Lazy Lord's heart and inspires him to pick up a sword in real life. What will Airen find on his journey to search for the meaning of his dream―and his new quest to master the sword?*
