《a new world to call home, as sloths representative》1. sloths representative

"Laura, ya Levántate!" A Hispanic tone hollered out to me as I growned, dragging my limp body off the bed hitting the wooden floor.
"Bien!" I whined as I put one random choices from my closet and my favorite jacket. Exsaming the small hole i felt in the pockets with my finger. I'll get to it later. Maybe...
Walking out to go eat and take my medicine, I could hear my brother loudly quoting lines from whatever movie he had just watched. Knowing him he'll quote it all danm month.
I also heard loud grunts and banging on the wall by a taller grizzly-looking boy, he held his phone close to his ear. Listening to whatever youtube video that had classic cartoons on it. He kept grunting and slamming his hand against the wall regardless of my glare at him that screamed how much I wanted him to shut up.
I'm Laura 20 years old, failing college student, and sister of two younger autistic brothers. My favorite thing to do is read manga and watch murder detective shows as a hobby, to distract myself. However that works too well, and im failing three classes.
I walked into the kitchen, but not before my mom looked at me with disappointment. "God laura, Porque no ases un chongo. Ey ya esos bottas Estan grottos."
"Because I like my boots mom," I faintly smiled to her as I took a piece of bread for breakfast.
"Cook some eggs,"
"No I don't like eating breakfast," I said as I reached to the medicine cabinet to get my Zoloft. "besides I don't like eggs."
"No, you're just too lazy,"
I laughed acting as positive as i could bring myself to believe." You're not wrong."
My grizzly-like brother stomped his feet down the hall as I was talking. Hollering random noises.
I felt my patient melt, and my small hands fold and tighten into fists. I clenched my teeth waiting for it to pass. But it never does.
It's a Saturday so im usually locked in my room, but i had to leave the house and walk around. Just so I didn't have to hear any of the noise.
I leave the house and as I walked around. I kept at it till I stopped and touch around my waist. In annoyance I kicked at the grass feeling in hopes to calm down, but that failed. I just keep thinking of mom just nagging at me about my weight.
Im not super fat, but im fat enough for me to be self-conscious. More so when mom rubs it in, but at least she doesn't lie or sugar-coat the situation. But that didn't really make the subject itself better.
I didn't really care. There wasn't much of a reason to care anymore. I mean I have one, but I just don't care. I closed my eyes and released a low sigh, it'll probably get better.
"Trust me it won't," said a voice.
I flashed my eyes open turning to the voice to see a kid with greasy, messy, grey hair. Dark bags under his redshot and dull blue eyes. He was wearing sweatpants and a shirt of some pop/music and I didn't know.

Looking at my surroundings it seemed like a small and messy, unorganized apartment.
"Hey! Your rooms not any better," he hissed from on top of his couch with open bags of lays chips beside him.
"What the shit?" I scrunched up my face in confusion.
"Look, kid, I'm Sloth a physical manifestation of one of the Seven Sins. And you have been chosen to be my representative for a small wager the other sins and I are playing."
"Sloth?" Wait, if I think about it I'm a lazy fuck. But how the shit does that make me a capable representative.
"Well, you're vulgar. You should be flattered I chose you. Rage and Gluttony had an eye on you too, but they weren't quick enough for once." He scoffed.
"What exactly am I doing as your representative?"
"Well, you're going to go to another world to live. We seven have done this multiple of times over the years. Finding a pathetic human to see how long their will to stay alive will last"
"Alright, I'm pretty sure your bull shitting me. This is like an openings scene in a fucking anime, so i know im just dreaming all this. Im going to wake up because I know mom will be pissed"
"That's going to a bit difficult, since your in the plane 'between worlds'. Not to mention everything would be a waste if you go back now. Since i already duplicated your soul and brought you here,"
What!!??
He waves his hand and a small screen appeared with me in my same clothes walking around and heading to go mow the lawn.
"It would be a pain in the ass for everyone if you just disappeared, or died out of nowhere. Or if you were to bitch about going home. But this makes it so you don't have an actual choice."
So Technically im already dead in a sense. Wow, this guy is serious then.
"Okay, Laura, like I was saying earlier. You're the representative of the sin of sloth because you're the most compatible with the sins you've already committed. The other sins have made their choice with their representatives. To play with your lives to see how long you can survive in another world we have influence."
So a battle royal?
"Kinda, you don't have to kill the others. Although it's not forbidden to fight or kill one another. I rather you not go around being a mad murder hobo. But depending on the other chosen you might have to. But overall its more of a bet on who can live and survive in a new environment, then straight out murder."
"Alright."
"In which we each give three freebie cheats, in your case two, for your new life. Which you can choose. However, we have to give you kind like a bad skill that inconvenience you for the sake of it making it more difficult and challenging."
"So I get 3 freebies and a curse,"
"Yup."
"What's the world like? The one you'll be sending me to?"
"So you know overlord?"

"Shit."
"Yeah, way harder."
"And what can you give me as default? Stat wise?"
"Well, im going to start you on lv 1 and on average... I guess shitty? When you get down there you can make the decision on your class."
"Makes sense..."
"But you will have a storage box, appraisal, and status insight automatically. That's what we seven have decided.
However, if you meet specific requirements you can obtain skills and titles that can boost your stats, and performance. How to do some of those requirements is something you'll have to find out."
"I see, is the language and writing something I can understand?"
"Kinda you'll be able to speak the language but you will have trouble reading the letters."
" then, for my three freebies," I stopped myself. I shouldn't leave my otherself to keep going on like that.
"Can you alter my personality, the personality of the soul in this body." I point to my self on the screen
Sloths face scrunched his face in confusion."Can you make that me different so she's more useful and successful for my mom's sake."
He was surprised by my request.
"From what I gather. You only need this version of myself." I gestured to my self." So would it be okay if you alter somethings about that version of me?"
"It's possible, but what do you get out of it?"he was confused by this request. But i guess he thought i would be a bit more selfish in this Scenario.
"I want my mom happy. If you've been watching me you know im not capable of doing that of doing that the way I am now. So make 'that' me a person who is the daugter my mom wants, or specifically the kind of person who is not a depressed anxious peice of shit."
"Alright, but no take backs. This counts as one of your three freebies."
"I'll agree to that."
"Fine now what else?"
"I would like to ask for almost superhuman strength so I can kick monsters to death," I say with a confident smile.
"Like how strong?"
"I could kick and shatter other peoples bone, strong!"
"Why kicking?"
"I like kicking."
"Alright, then Brutalist will be added to your titles gradually raising your strength stat for monsters you literally beat to death."
"Perfect,"
"Im almost scared to ask for the second cheat,"
"Oh, that? I guess... Something like a craft or construction cheat..."
"Explain,"
"Like if I wanted to make a specific object. For example a knife, traps, or a house with a working toilet. I could be told what materials I need for it and I do an auto make within the span of at most an hour depending on the size and complicity of what im trying to make."
"I smell what your stepping in. Alright, then I'll add in the skilled crafter, carpenter, and synthesizer. Since those are the skills you're practically asking for regarding your cheat."
" is that okay?"
"Since it's all Technically what you just described. It should be fine." She stuffed his mouth with chips loudly crunching.
"So that's it then," I nervously smiled. This is crazy but im stupidly excited. I do feel kinda bad, leaving like this. But the other me can handle it now that she is more mentally stable.
"Im good to leave, after you give me the curse."
"So you remember. Well, my curse isn't as different as to what you've been struggling with already."
"Which is?"
"Your stamina stat is 100. However, it will can't be raised by leveling up and it will burn quickly if you exert yourself. You'll collapse and be out of it for 2 maybe 5 hours before you can move again."
"So if I run out of stamina I'll die. So like in monster hunter,"
"Yes, but unlike monster Hunter, you can't just eat meat to regain your stamina. The only way you can regain want you lost is to rest in one spot for an hour without moving from the spot"
"Does that mean, the other representatives will have more stamina in their stats?"
"Yes,"
"Well its no different from my real body. Speaking of, im getting a new body, right? Since you said this is just my soul."
"It's just you with only limited choices for further customization."
"Than, I want to customize my body for something not too different. But something, I can move around in better."
"What are you going to alter your body into something unrealistic?"
"No, I prefer simple and practical."
"You're a weird one,"
"Why thank you," I did a curtsy as I laughed. "Looks like I got too comfortable already,"
Sloth gestured me to an avatar customize screen. And I just changed my hair into a short style changing it from a dark brown to a lighter shade. Got rid of my extra weight to only having some chub, and cleaned the skin of scratches, scars, and acne.
Pretty normal, I'm sorta cute, but overall still ugly. Im happy with this.
A thinner body will help me be more movable, I think I'll make it a bit flatter for my stomach so it doesn't hang out.
" Not much aside from my weight was changed so I'm not all that different." I smiled to sloth."I'm good to go,"
"About time, look im going to spinn a the map and shoot a dart at where you're going to be dropped off."
"Alright,"
The map spun and with a loud thunk. The map slowed and sloth flinched.
"Shit,"
And I felt my whole body envelop on a warm sensation and light surrounded me. And the next thing I knew, I was standing in a forest with trees so thick. And wide they were like skyscrapers.
"Holy shit..."
