[VRMMO] Dead One

"?"

"Herald? You mean something like an servant or champion of yours?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Hm…. Well, kind off." – said True Sloth.

"Its bit complicated so it's better if I explain everything and if don't explain it properly, things would get annoying and you would ask questions, yada yada."

"So here how it works."

"Becoming my herald is kind of more like gift than an job."

"I'm not making you something like servant that have to fallow all of my orders and stuff like this."

"Simple put… Its straight up gift."

"I can't control you or anything if you become my herald, but instead you receive an power up as well as an status of "Herald of sloth" an mark that straight up tells you have impressed me or something."

"…. What is it for you in this?" – asked ClownFrog who though the offer was too good to be true.

"Simple put entertainment." – said True Sloth as she summoned an fried chicken and began eating it.

"The true sins cannot directly intervene in the worlds, no matter. This also affects some other beings beside us."

"However, that doesn't mean we cannot hand out our blessings or some support."

"And the reason why we do it is simple. Entertainment."

"We are "STUCK" because we are too strong."

"This is an torture and the only form of enjoyment we can have is to observe the world and some people."

"But sometimes we want to make things… More interesting."

"So, we sometimes bestow gifts upon some people."

"Some of the beings like me want to get worshiped in the exchange of power, while some others just wanted to throw something in the mix."

"I'm one of those that want to make things interesting and don't really care about worship."

"But you can worship me if you want to."

"But anyway, it's an win-win situation for both of us, right?"

"You get stronger and I get more entertainment."

"So, the deal benefit both parties."

"…."

"Don't give me that look." – said Sloth as she noticed ClownFrog still not trusting her.

"What? Did you though I would make this this entire place horror like?" – said Sloth as she snapped her fingers and changed the entire scenario in the room in almost instance to an living hell where lava was flowing and the pillars of the damned souls were screaming.

"?!"

"Or something like this." – said Sloth as she changed her form to an giant many armed and eyed creature of horror that did no resembled one bit the form of an little girl.

"But this is boring." – said Sloth as she returned everything back to how it previously was, including her form, while ClownFrog still stood confused and shocked.

"This space is like me myself. I can control it and manipulate it." – said Sloth as she took on ClownFrog appearance and approached real ClownFrog.

"I can decide my form to be whatever I want to be here." – said Slot as she took on Blueberry form, shocking ClownFrog.

"But this is annoying and kind of doesn't make sense." – said Sloth as she retuned to her childish form.

"…."

"Is this form of yours even real?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Who knows?" – said Sloth as she walked around ClownFrog, only to disappeared suddenly.

"?" – ClownFrog looked around.

"Want to make me?" – asked Sloth face was right in front of ClownFrog as she used her tails to lift herself up.

"…"

"Anyway, deceiving and manipulating you won't really bring any benefits nor anything special." – said Sloth as she put her feets back on the ground and walked towards her bed.

"I wouldn't be surprising if other beings like me did an "Pray to me and my glorious form" or "Feel my power and glory" things."

"I'm just going straight up with this."

"You get power and I get something interesting to watch."

"I won't control you, nor command you. You will have an 100% freedom."

"Worship me. Be villain. Be hero. I don't care."

"I won't take the power back or anything like that as well, even if you do become some boring old man that would just spend rest of his life farming crops."

"…."

"Hm…."

(Well…... The offer sounds extremely good…...) – though ClownFrog.

(Still, if I end up becoming her herald, wouldn't that obviously put target on my back?)

(Many people in this world, especially the people that are aligned with heaven see the "Sins" as an "Evil" and "Corrupted weapons".)

(And if I were to become her "Herald", I could get somewhat more fucked in that way…... But then again, we are villains.)

(Not only that, with me being the herald of sloth, I could more easily recruit demons to my side.)

(Not only that, but she already given me an lesser sin related to my sloth already.)

"Question."

"If I accept being your herald, what sort of power up we are talking about?"

"Hm… Well, there will be multiple elements." – said Sloth.

"One of most important ones would be you getting an additional lesser sin from get go."

"The second would be increase in the sin growth, allowing you to obtain lesser sins faster."

"And once you obtain 5 lesser sins, you will becoming an sin lord and being one gives you an power up to each of your specific sins like sins related to sloth or wrath."

"So more lesser sins makes you closer to sloth."

"The third benefit is an sin empowerment."

"All your sins will get stronger slightly and sins related to sloth will receive an additional bonus."

"And finally, an small all stat boost."

"However, being an herald won't make you overpowered from get go, since you need to deepen connection with the sloth itself."

"Hm…."

"What would happened if I get an sin of wrath or lust?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Then nothing wrong will happened." – said Sloth.

"Even if you become my herald, you can still obtain other sins and their lesser sins as well as be noticed by other true sins and possible be even invited by them as well."

"There is also no rule saying that somebody or something can't be herald of more than one thing."

"However! Becoming an herald isn't something easy."

"I cannot just pick random people and turn them into my heralds."

"They need to be strong enough to handle my direct blessing."

"And the same rule apply to being herald of multiple beings. You would need to be strong enough in specific way to handle the herald baptism…."

"So, did you decided already?"

"…."

(No downsides…. And only an big power up. – though ClownFrog.

"..."

"Hm…."

"This is suspicious like fuck."

"I know, right?" – said Sloth.

"Normally it would make things less suspicious if I demanded something in return, but I'm offering you an huge power up for nothing in return exactly."

"…. And there won't be anything like an side effect?" – asked ClownFrog.

"…."

"Huh."

"You are calm." – said Sloth.

"?"

"What?" – said ClownFrog.

"No I mean, through that entire conversation we had since you got here, you didn't went into an full panic mode or wanted to fight." – said Sloth as she manifested some fries and began eating them.

"You have been unnaturally observing the entire situation while sometimes getting mad or confused, but nothing extremely big beside that."

"…."

"Okay. That one is your kind of fault." – said ClownFrog.

"I was scared on the start where there was that entire mist and everything, but then you turned this entire place into something "Fluffy" while taking on an form of loli and acting like an little sassy brat that is trying provoke a living hell out of me."

"Do you really think anybody would believe you are god?" – said somewhat pissed ClownFrog.

"You are literally making it hard to take you seriously or anything like that and that straight up allows me to think somewhat straight and analyze the situation."

"You straight up somewhat ruined the "Big reveal" or something like that….So yea…"

"…."

"Huh…. Well, that does make sense." – said Sloth after stopping eating for the moment.

"I though you were some inhuman person with that whole thinking thing."

"Why the fuck would I be when its all your fault that I can do this?!" – said annoyed ClownFrog.

"Meh." – said Sloth as she put her swimsuit again.

"…."

"We are not fuking doing this again. You fuking little brat." – said ClownFrog while flipping off Sloth.

"Meh. You got guts to flip off me." – said Sloth as she change back to her previous clothes.

"And you wonder why the fuck I'm not taking you fully seriously?" – replied annoyed ClownFrog.

"Hey." – said Sloth.

"Fuck you. I can control this space and straight up make you sit on the wooden horse if I want to."

"And that is an power harassment threat." – said ClownFrog.

"Well, I'm god of this place, so I can do whatever I want." – said Sloth while manifesting an wooden torture horse that had multiple flamethrowers attached to it.

"…. The fuck is this?" – said ClownFrog.

"An wooden horse." – said Sloth.

"That is an fuking wooden horse from motherfucking hell!" – shouted ClownFrog.

"Well, yea. And I can make you sit on it." – said Sloth.

"But enough joking around for now." – said Sloth as she made "Hell" wooden horse disappear.

"Its about time you give me an reply."

"Will you become my herald? "Herald Of Sloth"?"

"Or… I don't know, just say no and fuck off?"

"Meh. I can't force the people or beings to be an herald unless they agreed to it."

"So, your answer?"

"…."

(I won't lie…. She doesn't seem like an complete idiot… And if anything, I can tell one thing. She is an schemer.)

(And that whole "Litle fuking brat act" could be an façade.)

(She says that she doesn't want anything besides entertained, but I can… I can straight up "FEEL" it.)

(Her goal maybe not about controlling me and doing something dirty for her, but just having me do her work without knowing that. That could be her plan for example. And that makes it scary, since I can't read her at all.)

(Then again, I could use her blessing, even if that mean getting used, since if what she said was true, then the benefit would be ESPECIALLY enormous for me.)

(Shit.)

(She is throwing way too big of an bait for me not to chomp down on.)

(Not only that, but…. Fuck…. Will saying no really benefit me in any way?)

(I maybe be walking in some trap right now…. But if the power she is promising is real, then I'm more than willing to take a bite.)

"Fine."

"I will become your herald."
