SWNOVELS Chapter 922 Sloth
-----
After being eaten alive by my two very horny wives, I walked out of the bathroom refreshed… They didn't miss a single inch of my body, licking and kissing everything, even my feet! I never thought they found me that beautiful.
"Phew! Hehe, I never thought you were into my armpits too." I giggled while walking out.
"D-Don't say that out loud though!" Partner got all embarrassed.
"But you sucked them so desperately~ It was so cute!" I smiled.
"T-That's not it! Ugh…" Partner was growing as red as a tomato.
"W-What are you two even talking about?" Lucifer glared at us while raising an eyebrow.contemporary romance
"N-Nothing! Please don't mind it!" Emeraldine was also embarrassed.
"Hahaha, anyways! Let's have some breakfast! Man, I love how fancy this Inn is!" I said happily.
"Good morning mommy!" Nyx walked to my side. "Arachne's still asleep…"
Nyx adorably walked to my side and then climbed over my body, as I gently held her in my arms. She was growing bigger every day, but I could still hold my baby!
"She is? Oh, I guess she just had a spurt of energy yesterday then." I sighed. "Alright, let her sleep for now. I'll bring her inside my shadows once we depart."
"Is she okay? I remember she was active some time ago too but then disappeared…" Nyx was a bit worried.
"She's fine don't worry. She just loves to sleep a lot. It is part of her… Abilities, I suppose." I sighed. "I think she's the Calamity that embodies Sloth, it's the only explanation I can get… Every True Calamity, all Seven of them, embody a powerful Sin, according to what I've heard."
"Oh, she's like a Calamity, like me?" Wondered Nyx. "Or Root?"
"Well, you two are a bit different." I explained. "You are Lesser Calamities. They are born and chosen based in the potential and power someone possess, alongside the Chaotic Powers they embody. Or so… I think. I'm not really sure of all the details behind these titles. I remember that the Ant Queen was becoming a Calamity, and Tear too."
"While the Ant Queen wasn't a complete Calamity yet, Tear had been baptized as one, but now that she lost the Crown and most of those powers, her authority as a Calamity has most likely been revoked and given to another entity." Lucifer explained. "Right?"
"Yeah, I lost the Title. I used to have the [True Calamity of Envy]" Tear revealed to us something she had not told us before. "It was a mysterious power that amplified my abilities even further, but it came with an endless desire to have it all, and I… I could never feel satisfied, I wanted what everyone had. I remember… how hopeless I felt when I envied you all for having a family and loved ones, I kept wanting more from others, but I didn't value those I had with me."
"So it puts some sort of mental state on the wearers in exchange for tremendous power…" Said Lucifer. "Maria, does little Arachne has such a Title though?"
"I don't remember she had it before…" I said, as I checked her Status.

Her Stats were ridiculous, they have increased at least four times compared to the first time I saw them… She's an SS+ Rank being, meaning she's even stronger than when Tear was a Calamity herself.
She is unique because I've barely seen her hunt, yet she gains levels passively. Is this part of her Sloth Ability? Maybe the more she sleeps, the stronger she becomes and the higher her stats rise…
However, because she's always forced to sleep long periods of times, she misses the time she could had spend with those she loves and cares for and can only interact very little.
And it feels like she had always felt so lonely… I was her only friend back then, when she didn't need to sleep as much.
That Stigma has worsened her condition.
"…She has it now." I sighed. "Not only that, but she also has something called Demonic Stigma: Sloth. It is most likely what's causing the whole problem… But this is bad, why does this happen to her? Is this Loki's doing?"
"I suppose it must be." Tear nodded. "He is the True God of Chaos, someone that must bring destruction to this world to "balance" it to the whim of the Gods…"
"Arachne was already stronger than all of us combined when you first meet her, right?" Emeraldine asked. "It probably means her birth in that dungeon was a special event, something that Loki or the other Gods might have arranged. After all, Calamities are created to "cleanse" the world in a way, weaken humans and mortals when they're getting too strong, or something like that…"
"She was destined to be like this, huh?" I felt even sadder as I saw such an adorable and gentle girl sleeping in the bed, carefree of all things. "Arachne…"
We talked a bit more about her and her condition but dropped the subject to talk about more cheerful things.
But still, deep within our hearts, we all wanted to help her.
