Chapter 577: Chapter 577 - Akidia’s Not-So-Slothful Champion
In a room filled with soft, natural light... not from any artificial source, but from the bright sunlight streaming in. The walls were painted a clean, serene white. The decor was
minimalist, with sleek white tables and chairs, a glass pitcher, and a set of crystal-clear glasses neatly placed on one side.
Yet there was one particularly majestic feature that stood out: a luxurious bed.
The bed itself looked irresistibly comfortable, with a thick, plush mattress wrapped in layers of soft fabric and piled high with pillows, each inviting a moment of perfect rest.
Sunlight poured through the large window, illuminating the figure resting on this bed. A woman draped in a flowing white dress, her long silver hair cascading gracefully over part of her body.
She was... the goddess of Sloth!
Akidia lay in the bed, her eyes slowly fluttering open. As she turned to her side, her gaze drifted to a massive window, revealing a breathtaking view of the world outside. A cascade of greenery, bathed in the soft, warm light streaming through the glass.
"How long have I been asleep?" she whispered softly.
There was something she wanted to do, a task related to her only champion.
Akidia had an enchanting presence, her silver hair cascading gracefully over her figure as she basked in the sunlight, which gave her skin an ethereal glow. With slow, delicate movements, she raised herself up and leaned back against the plush pillows.
"Now, how do I do this?" she murmured to herself. "Oh, that's right..."
A transparent screen materialized before her.
"Let's take a look at how my beloved champion is doing," Akidia said, a sweet smile forming on her lips. "I wonder if he's missed me?" She giggled softly.
"Being the champion of Sloth isn't an easy path. He must have faced many hardships... I wonder how his progress has been."
Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she glanced at the screen.
"Hmm..." Akidia muttered, examining his status updates. "He's collected this many stat points? Quite impressive... but isn't this a little too high?"
She tilted her head. "I thought I'd only slept a few days, if I remember correctly."
She continued, "And his skills? I should review all of them to ensure he doesn't stray from the right path. My expertise will be invaluable in guiding him."
With a gentle swipe of her finger, a comprehensive list of Broken's skills appeared on the transparent screen. His Class Skills, Equipment Skills, and Title Skills all displayed in neat rows. Akidia scanned through them quickly... then closed the screen with a satisfied smile. "Oh, he's grown so quickly," she murmured. "Yes, that's enough. Knowing he has such a range of skills is plenty for now. I don't need to examine each one in detail."
"But why does he have access to so many skills already? Isn't this a bit too much for someone who's only just begun as my Champion?"
Akidia paused, reflecting for a moment. "Well... maybe he's just a little less slothful than expected."
"And what about his equipment?" Akidia mused, scrolling through the list.
"Oh, good, good... this one's still really lacking, though."
She frowned, but then paused. "No... wait, this isn't actually bad after all..."
"Why does he have nothing truly bad equipment?" she muttered.
She went on, inspecting his gear with a hint of pride. "Well, yes... he's got a few Legendary items now. I think he's ready for something even higher."
Giggling, she said, "Yes, yes... if he could wield a Mythic-grade weapon, things would get much more exciting."
"Oh... he's already had four classes? And all of them are Unique-grade?"
Akidia shifted slowly, leaning her head and hugging a pillow to her chest. Her arms wrapped around it in a gentle embrace.
"Why has he gone through so many upgrades in such a short time?" she murmured. "Isn't he supposed to be the Champion of Sloth?"
But then she giggled. "I suppose this is a good sign... Finally, I have a Champion who can show the world that we're not lazy. We're just efficient."
A warm smile crossed her face. "I'm so proud of him. He truly is my beloved champion. I made the right choice."
"I wonder what he's doing now." She tapped lightly on the screen. "Ah, good, he's in a safe state for observation."
A larger, transparent screen appeared in front of her, pulling back to show the full scene. Broken was fighting alongside a group, surrounded by monsters swarming from all directions.
"Oh... a big battle, is it?" she murmured, leaning in with keen interest.
Then, her gaze sharpened. "Uhm... a Divine Champion?"
Akidia paused, observing the screen closely, where the chaotic battle unfolded, with monsters attacking from every direction. One figure in particular caught her attention.
"The native kind of Divine Champion... Interesting..." she murmured.
"Could my champion have befriended a native Divine Champion?" she whispered to herself.
"And... Moonlight Fae," Akidia murmured softly. "That moon goddess. Why does she always target my champions? Couldn't she pick someone else's for a change? Next time I see her, I'll give her a piece of my mind."
She huffed, then hesitated. "But... she despises us, doesn't she? Whoa, I should be careful... she even convinced Elandorr to try and kill us once..."
Akidia glanced back at the screen, watching as Broken fought through battle after battle, now facing a newly transformed Faebeast.
"That Faebeast's stats are incredibly high," she murmured. "My poor champion is going to struggle to defeat her, even with Elandorr's granddaughter helping him..."
She tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Hmm... could I lend him a little help?"
"Is it technically allowed?" she wondered. "As long as we follow the rules, surely we're allowed a little creative assistance... right?"
A small screen suddenly appeared beside Akidia, and she swiped through it with her finger.
"Each Champion earns Champion Points for every achievement they accomplish. And from those Champion Points, we can reward them appropriately."
She paused, curious. "Let's check... How many points has he collected? I imagine he'd be happy enough with just 50,000 points..."
Her eyes widened as she saw the number. "Ah, here it is... 300,000 Champion Points? Should I
be surprised or impressed?"
Akidia's fingers hovered over the screen as she muttered to herself, "Let's see... what can I
exchange this many points for? Hmm..."
Then, a bright smile spread across her face as an idea struck.
"Wait... I know just the thing! I think he'll love my little gift!"
She sighed, tapping her chin thoughtfully.
"Alright, let's write him a letter. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to receive something directly from me. I'll fill it with love and let him know how proud I am. It'll make him even happier to have a
goddess like me cheering him on."
She started writing. "Hi, my beloved champion..."
But then she frowned. "No, no, I've already written that before..."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She tried again. "What about... 'Hi, my not-so-sloth champion'?"
She cringed, shaking her head. "No, that sounds terrible. He'll think I'm some cringe-worthy
goddess. I have to keep my dignity!"
She sighed, muttering to herself. "Writing this kind of letter is so hard for someone as
introverted as I am..."
Then, a thought struck her. "But... What if I take a little nap first? Maybe after resting, I'll come up with a brilliant idea for how to start it."
