Capítulo 3: Chapter 3 - Divine Champion
"Ah, you're finally awake," Akidia giggled. "I woke up earlier, but after seeing that you were sleeping so soundly, I decided to sleep again."
Broken furrowed his brow, realizing the Goddess Akidia had indeed woken up once before. But he hadn't been asleep!
Unsure of how to properly address a deity, he hesitated.
"Good day, Goddess Akidia. It is a great honor for me to meet you here."
"Hello, Broken. It's a pleasure to finally meet you," Akidia smiled. "You're quite adorable," she added, extending her hand from where she sat on the ground. "But I could use a little assistance getting onto that boulder over there."
Without hesitation, Broken stood up and approached Akidia. He took her hand carefully in his own.
It was a sensation that couldn't be described with mere words. This game felt so real; all the five senses were being truly engaged. As he felt the softness of the deity's hand, a sense of comfort and warmth washed over him just by being near her.
"Please, come closer," Akidia invited, her hand resting lightly on his shoulder.
Broken tried to support her and wrapped his left arm around her waist to help her stand. In that moment, he felt the gentle touch and the sweet fragrance enveloping his senses.
"Oahhh…," Akidia yawned, covering her mouth with her left hand.
"Sorry," she said and smiled. "I've been so tired lately because of all the things I've been doing. It's been draining my energy and mind."
"I actually spent a good amount of time choosing the perfect gift for our first meeting," she revealed with a giggle.
"So… she had been preparing for this meeting with me?" he pondered.
He gently guided the tired goddess and then carefully helped her sit on a nearby boulder, making sure that she wouldn't fall again after he released her.
"Are you okay here, Goddess?"
"Yes, thanks, sweetheart," she replied warmly.
[[Someone very fortunate has felt the touch of the great and worshiped goddess Akidia, known for her majesty and beauty. It was an unforgettable experience to feel the gentle touch of a goddess, a moment everyone dreams of, but he is the one who had the chance to experience it.]]
Broken was surprised to see the global announcement again, clearly describing his experience to all the players of Immortal Legacy.
[[He felt overwhelmed by joy, and if he couldn't contain himself, he might have jumped with joy over this extraordinary experience. He might carry this memory until his death.]]
"That's too much! I'm not like that," Broken mumbled.
Akidia giggled, noticing his sudden expression shift. "Is something bothering you?"
"A global notification, Goddess."
"Yes, I saw it too," she said, smiling.
So, the deity could see global notifications as well? Just how do they perceive the game, while every NPC in the game believes they have their own lives in this world?
"We will talk a lot next time about your curiosity. I love that curiosity, but I'm sure you want to see the reward you've earned first, don't you?"
[You received the title "He Who Savored the Fragrant Touch of the Goddess" in recognition of your remarkable achievement of being the first player ever to experience the delicate caress of a goddess.]
[Title Effect: Luck Stat +20, Charisma Stat +50]
[New Luck Stat has been Unlocked]
[New Charisma Stat has been Unlocked]
Broken once again stood stunned in silence, shocked at the incredible title he had just received. He had unlocked two special stats immediately after gaining the title.
Luck was a stat that not everyone possessed, it influenced the rate of success in all aspects of the game. Similarly, Charisma would make it easier for anyone to communicate and form relationships with many NPCs in the game.
He gazed up at Akidia, "Thank you so much for your blessings, Goddess Akidia."
"So you're happy?" she said, giggling. "You're so adorable! As a deity, I love hearing praises. So,feel free if you want to thank me even more," she said, smiling.
She then yawned delicately, covering her mouth with her palm.
"Ah... The preparations have left me quite tired. But let me get straight to the point and share with you the reason for my visit."
This was only the beginning, yet the reward she had granted him was already so significant.
"Are you familiar with the concept of the Divine Champion?" Akidia inquired.
"The Divine Champion…" Broken repeated softly.
These were the individuals who stood at the pinnacle of power within the game, each bearing the mark of divine favor, chosen by the deities themselves to wield extraordinary abilities and command respect as the most formidable among the players.
"Yes, Goddess Akidia," he answered. "I've heard of the Divine Champions of this realm—those blessed by the deities, endowed with unique powers."
Akidia's laughter filled the air once again as she listened to Broken's earnest words.
"Yes, exactly," she began. "You see, each deity is permitted to choose up to five Champions from among the players. However..."
Her chuckles briefly interrupted her speech. "This might just be my very first venture into choosing a Champion who isn't a native of Yunatea. But I've been watching you for quite a while, and I'm convinced—you're the perfect choice to be my very first Champion from among the players."
The natives of Yunatea referred to players as "players," just as the players introduced themselves.
Even though every entity in Yunatea seemed to possess its own consciousness, they regarded players as beings who could enter and leave their world at will.
What was even more terrifying was the fact that the players were considered strange entities because they could never be killed permanently; since when they died, they would always rise again.
Hearing Goddess Akidia mention the Divine Champion, Broken automatically began to harbor hopes of receiving the same blessing, something he had never even dared to dream of before.
The title of Divine Champion was a blessing that granted players privileges, allowing them to compete with the wealthy who poured their fortunes into the game or even compete at the highest levels within the game.
"Thank you, Goddess Akidia. I'm so happy to hear this news, I can hardly believe all this."
"Yeah, congratulations," Akidia responded. "But my time is limited. There are many things I must do, especially since I still haven't had enough rest. So, let's proceed quickly. All you need to do is accept my blessing. And remember, should you ever seek guidance, I will always be there to provide answers. As my Champion, your prayers will reach me directly."
As Akidia spoke, she gently levitated off the ground, her white robes dancing gracefully in the ethereal breeze, a sight of divine elegance.
Watching her ascend, Broken marveled at the spectacular sight before him. A question tugged at his thoughts—why would Akidia need his assistance to stand if she had the ability to fly?
As Akidia descended gracefully, she reached out to gently caress his cheek with both hands. The softness of her touch and the delicate fragrance that surrounded her captivated him. With her face now mere inches from his, Broken found himself utterly mesmerized by her extraordinary beauty.
"Broken," she spoke, her voice as soothing as a gentle stream, her smile radiating warmth and kindness.
"Accept this blessing from me. From this moment forth, you will act as my extension in this world. Remember, to be the strongest, hard work isn't always necessary... Please, be my proudest Divine Champion. Next time, I will meet you again when you are ready for greater things. Congratulations, and accept my blessings..."
Broken nodded slowly, captivated by the beauty of Goddess Akidia and the softness of her voice. She then flew away slowly, and the next moment notifications started to appear before his eyes.
[The Goddess of Sloth, Akidia, has chosen you as her Divine Champion.]
[You are now the Champion of Sloth.]
[As the Champion of Sloth, you will continuously gather experience even without actively leveling up. However, you will not gain experience from killing monsters.]
[Your leveling progress may be slower than that of other players, but you will level up passively, allowing you to use your time for relaxation.]
"Huh?!" His initial wonder turned to shock as he processed the notifications that unfurled before him.
He tried to look up at Akidia for clarification, only to find that the goddess had mysteriously vanished from sight.
"Wait, what about my level?"

Capítulo 4: Chapter 4 - Self Transcendence
[The Goddess of Sloth, Akidia, has chosen you as her Divine Champion.]
[As the Champion of Sloth, you will continuously gather experience even without needing to actively level up. However, you will not gain experience from killing monsters.]
[Your leveling progress may be slower than that of other players, but you will level up passively, allowing you to spend your time in relaxation.]
[Your affinity with Akidia, the Goddess of Sloth, has increased to 55%.]
[Akidia is pleased to have fulfilled her duty of selecting a champion. She is extremely satisfied with her choice.]
[Keep strengthening your relationship with Akidia to gain even more of her favor.]
Being a Divine Champion was a blessing every player in Immortal Legacy coveted. It was a mark of incredible privilege, no doubt about its power.
However... As he thought for a moment, he realized that there was a catch: He could level up passively, which suited the Sloth's nature, but he wouldn't gain experience from killing monsters. So, his leveling up would be restricted by this blessing.
"This might be good, but it feels like just the beginning. There must be more I can gain from this blessing, right?" he mused.
Without leveling up through combat, his ability to be able to increase his stats directly would be limited. But then again, stats could be improved through other means—levels unlock much more. What now?
Indeed, stats could be obtained not only by leveling up. When a player leveled up, they received ten stats points. However, stats could also be gained by completing certain quests or earning titles.
When Broken had acquired his previous two titles, he had received a 10-point boost in all his basic stats, adding up to 50 stats in total; this was equivalent to gaining five levels.
Additionally, he had also received 50 Charisma stats and 20 Luck stats. Although special stats couldn't be increased using regular stat points, the overall boost he had gained was substantial.
As he pondered the consequences of his newfound status, a global announcement once again flashed before the eyes of every player in Immortal Legacy.
[[The person who always put things off and never got anything done was picked by the most skilled procrastinator.]]
"Well... I'm not that much of a procrastinator. It just happened because I don't have as much time as the others."
[[After taking a long time to decide, Akidia has chosen the person who will represent her in the world of Yunatea.]]
[[This extraordinary event marks the start of major changes on the horizon, signaling the beginning of a new era for the Immortal Legacy. Prepare for even more incredible changes ahead.]]
He took a deep breath, savoring the sense of triumph. The wind brushed against his face, and unbeknownst to him, spirits in a kaleidoscope of colors began to drift towards him, drawn by his new title.
[By Akidia's will, you have been granted the title "The Champion of Sloth."]
The notification about the Divine Champion was not over yet, and this time, he received the new title. He had expected various blessings to follow, especially extraordinary skills like those possessed by other Divine Champions.
Most Divine Champions were blessed with incredibly powerful abilities, almost like cheat codes, that made anyone who knew about them envious.
But then, many Divine Champions leveraged their privileges to secure strategic positions within royal governments, gaining greater advantages than other players and exploiting these benefits for personal gain.
[You are now endowed with the privilege of Self Transcendence Blessing, a divine gift bestowed upon the Champion of Sloth.]
Self Transcendence Blessing? Just the name sounded extraordinary. Broken could feel his heart racing as he awaited the skill notification, which seemed to appear agonizingly slowly.
[This divine favor brings with it the potential for unforeseen enhancements to emerge at unexpected moments, affecting everything you possess—from your abilities to any constraints you face.
There will be a percentage that will increase as you refrain from killing monsters. The higher the percentage, the higher the potential for the Blessing to activate on its own.
You will receive upgrades to anything you possess, albeit randomly, but you can hope that your mediocre skills might suddenly become god-tier ones or your useless items might turn into legendary ones. Who knows?
However, temper your expectations; this doesn't mean you'll suddenly ascend to unparalleled heights of power. True miracles require more than just good fortune—they are forged through one's own efforts.]
Broken nodded slowly after reading the notification. The Self Transcendence Blessing seemed to be an incredible gift that would unlock the potential of anything he owned, though it would appear based on a certain percentage.
[Self Transcendence Blessing Activation Progress: 75%]
He checked the new progress bar that had appeared in his system, showing the activation progress of the Self Transcendence Blessing. It seemed that as long as he refrained from monster hunting, this progress would continue to rise until it eventually activated on its own.
Currently, the bar was at 75%, indicating that it would activate soon. He was eager to see just what kind of effects this Blessing would bring him.
"Based on what I've learned, Self Transcendence was the primary blessing from the previous Sloth Champion, allowing them to transcend the limitations of a mortal. I'm really curious to see how this blessing will manifest on my journey."
Before the players arrived, the native people of Yunatea had also received similar blessings. Now, these blessings were being bestowed upon players as well. However, it was important to note that there had only been one Champion of Sloth among the players, and that was Broken.
"It's mentioned that this divine blessing will reveal itself at specific moments. However, given its origin from Sloth, I just hope the blessing it's not so sluggish that it forgets to show up when I need it the most."
Now that Broken had officially become a Divine Champion, the spirits that had initially retreated began to slowly return and gathered around him. It was clear that they had moved away to make room for the arrival of Goddess Akidia in this realm.
"Hi, Broken, congratulations on being chosen as a Divine Champion."
"Broken, I desire you even more now."
"Broken, I want to fight alongside you."
At least this made Broken feel a bit relieved. Even though he had received extraordinary rewards, he hadn't lost the opportunity to make contracts with these spirits.
The skills that he had gained from Goddess Akidia seemed passive at first glance, but he was curious to see how impactful these skills truly would be. Being the blessing from the Goddess of Sloth, they were bound to be extraordinary.
As he tried to re-engage with the spirits, another notification appeared before him.
[The Blessing of Self Transcendence has granted the user five powerful new passive skills.]
Seeing this, his eyes widened with disbelief, his expression changing to one of awe as he realized that the rewards were far from over.
He had now received five powerful new skills!
