Kael exited the system shop with mixed feelings, as he was surprisingly invited by a god for a round of talk that, in the end, got him an ancient blessing and solved all the problems he had worried about last night. The god who blessed him was Aeta, a god with a ranger class like him. It was really nice eting the guy. They had a long talk; he even gave him an orb that bound him closer to nature and allowed his body to absorb mana more easily. Then they had a little archery lesson, and the god told him a lot of tricks for hitting moving targets.
The negative part was the talk they had about the special quest. Ankhet Sekhmara was a mortal who defeated ti and lived before the great apocalypse, which happened over 500 eras ago, erasing all life. Sohow, that guy had survived, and his soul was repairing itself slowly, and the undead faction was supporting him in all aspects. The gods couldn’t see into the tutorial, but the worth that guy held for the undead faction ant all their gods were probably trying to bless as many survivors as possible.
A group of powerful gods didn’t want to sit by while the undead faction gained such an asset, mostly the stronger gods and those close to the undead faction. This also led to him being blessed. A blessing weakens the god if he doesn’t get his payout when the mortal fails to reach godhood. So, even though the situation was urgent, even the strongest gods could only bless a few people in the tutorial.
Another ssage that disappointed him was that his god was on good terms with Solarion, who apparently was one of the oldest and strongest gods in existence, and to his dismay, was also the god who had blessed Steven. This forced them into so kind of alliance. At least he didn’t need to interact with that guy too much. The only good thing was that war and attacks were out of the question now. The open question was, what were the orcs or those other humans up to? His patron would inform him if he got news. The blessed at F grade could only talk twice a week with their gods, but it should be enough to give them a big advantage over those without a blessing.
Being blessed by a god gave so many advantages. First, he bought so extra districts for his settlent and one whole district where he would place the new citizens. The district was isolated, and leaving it was not possible without permission. They could of course go out hunting but not enter the living district of his current citizens. This was exactly what they needed. Next was the equipnt. He had a new bow, dagger, short sword, and an enchanted cloak that could even block weak strikes and made it harder to notice him when he didn’t move.
Oh, and all three weapons were spirit weapons, which was great and overpowered. He had 110,000 credits, and to be able to buy that much was too good to be true. The reason for it was that he could now buy items in the systemshop related to his god that were reserved for only those with a strong blessing. He turned to Kai and Sylas, who had all evolved together with him, and both had new equipnt and big smiles on their faces.
"I guess you also got blessed," Kael asked with a smile on his face.
"Seems like it," Kai nodded. No wonder Steven had it so easy with such power.
"Let’s check what the others got," Sylas said excitedly while moving to the door. Kai and Kael followed him.
After a short walk, they t Annie and Jakob. Both were in so kind of sparring match, completely destroying the room.
"Hey, stop," Kai yelled, which was unusual for him since he was normally the calm one.
"Yes, sir," Jakob said, stopping instantly as they looked at them.
"So you got blessed too?" Kael asked, pointing out the obvious since both had new clothing, and Annie was wearing a diadem with a blue crystal in the middle that glowed with blue light.
"Yes, there is just one thing: I was blessed by the sa god as those water witches," Annie blurted out.
"That is actually not unwelco. We need to contact them anyway at so point," Kael said deep in thought. "So I guess we don’t have to worry about them anymore?"
"I don’t know. The goddess just told that I need to go there because of the natural treasures in the ocean and that the blessing would keep safe," Annie said, looking at the ground. "I don’t really want to go there—they enslaved us."

"See it like this: you are just there to steal their resources, and then you leave," Kai said calmly.
"Which god blessed you?" Jakob asked Sylas since the mage had a completely different outfit than before.
"I’m blessed by Eryndor." He explained proudly.
"I guess they truly don’t want this Ankhet to survive this tutorial," Kael murmured deep in thought.
"Let’s check in with the orc and the girl. If we’re blessed, they are too," Kai said while walking in the direction of the other tower where the two were residing.
