Chapter 4: Gifts from God

***

POV of Enos

As I watched everyone walk through the portal I began to think about Yuri and what he was born in, the color of the hair is white for sure, the color of the skin remained the same, this was quite disproportionate.

"Brown skin with white hair ... What the hell is that?"

When I think about it I notice one of the sailors coming to me.

"Captain, the ship has already delivered all souls."

He said as he bowed.

"Then we can go back and take a break."

When I say that, I wonder if the next time I leave I'll have good guests to talk to.

"Everyone at your station, we are returning."

"" "Yes, captain." "" "

POV of Yuri

After passing through the portal, in a place all white.

"I do not see anything here, do I have to wait and sit?"

After about 20 minutes.

"Whaaaa, this place has nothing to do here? Please someone talk to me, Enos, anyone? "

After a brief outbreak, I calmed down.

Another 10 minutes.

"Is this reincarnation thing that long?"

I started talking to myself.

(Hello, sorry for the delay, certain jobs need doubled attention.)

I heard a voice in my head, but it is not that of Enos.

"Sir, who would you be?"

I asked the question, politely of course.

(I? Well I have many names, I am called God, Creator, Father and so on.)

He said, then, I'm with someone more important than Enos.

"What can I do for you?"

(Child, no need to worry, I just came to leave some gifts for you and give you some advice, if you want to listen.)

"God's gifts? I am more than all ears. "

He said and I replied lively.

"But even if you say gifts? Is there anything I can carry with me? "

(No need to worry about these details, what I'm going to give you is a name, My blessing and some skills.)

"Thank you, but should not my parents give me the name? Unless.."

I started to remember something I did not really want, would I ...

(Yes you will be reborn as a monster, a non-humanoid to be more specific, but I can not say which, this is part of the proposal which you spontaneously willingly accepted.)

I started to imagine myself as various animals and I swear I felt a shiver run down my spine.

(Well, do not mind that for now, let's start dealing with gifts, this will cheer you up.)

I heard, it's true, there's nothing I can do to change.

"Okay, thank God."

(Alright, let's first go to the name, I'm thinking of using your old name as the basis for new.)

"My name?"

I asked, What is he going to do with Yuri Estevam Shimizu?

(Done, his name will be Uri Stéphanos, about Shimizu I'm going to make him a skill.)

Then my name will be Uri Stéphanos. I asked, "Uri, I know it came from Yuri, but where did Stéphanos come from?"

(Stéphanos is the origin of Estevam, I found it interesting so I decided to use it.)

How frankly, but it really helps to have some connection with my old name, so that is the origin of my last name.

(And I must state that your name will be sealed, the seal will be undone when you become strong enough to protect yourself.)

When he said that, I just asked a question, "Why?"

(The name of the monsters can be used to make them slaves, if they catch you while you're weak, they can use the name against you and I do not want that.)

Now I understand.

(Now let's go to the skills.)

"Yes, I'm counting on you."

(Well I said I would turn Shimizu into a skill, but the meaning of Shimizu is Pure Water, would have several ways of reading kanji Shi, such as Pure, Clean, Purification and even Exorcism, would have something with these words you would like? )

He asked me, let's see, pure water, clean water, water purification and water exorcism? Water that purifies, does it clean, does it have something like that? Wait, is there any way I can do that?

"Can I make hot springs?"

(Create hot springs? But hot springs are drawn from the veins of water.)

"So it's impossible?"

I missed it so much, I only went once to the fountain and I fell in love with it so good that it was.

(No, but I can give you an ability that allows you to create artificial sources through magical crystals, you just have to learn the proper attributes of the spells you want, which in the case of hot springs need to be fire and water and put the rules so that it works the way you want, my tip, to increase the efficiencies of the source use the attributes Light and Life, not to mention that you can use for other things too, the name of the skill is simple "Create Magic Core", you accept this ability?)

A skill like that. I immediately said: "Of course I accept!"

(Okay, next time I'm going to increase your "Great Luck" ability to "Heavenly Luck" since you apparently wanted this one, but know that abusing luck will always lead to bad endings, so instead of using it, let that it becomes part of your life without you interfering, because the best moments of life are the surprises, do not you agree?)

"Yes, I completely agree, I promise not to abuse luck."

I said as I grinned from ear to ear, for having achieved such skill.

(I'll give you another skill I've given to dragons, it's called "Alter Form", this ability will allow you to create a second form for your body, and you can switch between the original and the skill. about the skill, would allow you to take on the appearance of another species, such as dragons, usually they have their dragon form, which is their original appearance, but after reaching a small minimum age they awaken that ability and create their second form , usually have those who take the appearance of the elves as a base, others would be humans and other humanoid species, once they choose the species that will become the basis for the skill, they look like a child and will normally grow old until they reach what they consider to be adults or the appearance they are satisfied, I must emphasize that the color of the hair, its eyes, form of ears can be different, once chosen the race that will serve as base, will not be able to change.)

Well even if I can not change, I can still have a human form, this already takes a huge weight off my shoulders.

"God, thank you very much for that."

I said deeply gratefully.

(This is nothing, unfortunately this ability will only appear when you are stronger, with the dragons is the same, their requirement on the minimum age is around 100 years, but do not worry, this will not be your case , when it is stronger this ability will appear.)

"It does not matter to me, as long as I get the chance to get this ability I'm more than satisfied."

(The last skills I will give to you will be "Magic Resistance" and "Abnormal Status Resistance", and along with "Physical Resistance", I will put them on level 3, I will not put more than that for two reasons, first, you must raise your skills level from their own experience, second, their "Excellent" skill increases the speed at which you learn skills and raise their level, this can be considered cheating even though you can not learn all the skills, only those that are willing to teach you. )

I was shocked when I heard what the Excellent skill, is this serious?

"Seriously even though the Excellent skill does it? It's incredible. "

I was super looking forward to arriving in the new world, I want to experience everything.

(For now, please calm down, I'll also give "Mana Control" and "Appraisal", both at level 2, so put the effort to increase the level of those skills.)

I'm just winning.

"My God, I'm more than grateful for everything you're giving me, but why are you giving me so much?"

I asked genuinely curious.

(Why? There is no reason why I am simply giving you what I think is right for you. This world you are going to is one of the most recent, it is less than 20 thousand years old, so I want you to live in it and enjoy all that is good in him, that is all there is.)

"But then what about my cousins, my colleagues? Are not they going to win anything? "

I asked, a little worried.

(They will be born into good families, and different from what you think, the gods that I have left in charge of that world will be giving their blessings to them, not to mention that they have inherited from their lineage more skills than you imagine, to you are skills to survive, so that you can also meet them one more time.)

"That's very good, I'm happy for them, thank you."

I thank you once more. I just have to thank you.

(Let's go to the next gift that is my blessing as God the Creator, and a title, it's called "Enhanced Childhood", it's very similar to a title that came out in that world sometimes called "Prolonged Childhood", this title will help you become quite strong.)

I very happy for all these gifts I ask God.

"My God, after so many presents do you have something that you want me to do to reciprocate?"

(I just want you to live, seek happiness, make friends, but, do not judge that world with earthly standards, every world has its own standards, you will have to be strong if you want to protect what is precious to you.)

He said, the last part was pretty intense.

(But in short, follow what your heart tells you, you are a good person, you have my blessing to live in this world freely, live without regrets. And please do not do something like a church or temple to me, in that world only the most powerful beings know me, and that's enough.)

"You can leave it with me, I promise to live life to the fullest and without regrets."

I said with all seriousness, I will follow my heart and live life to the fullest.

(Well, it's time to say goodbye, enjoy this world, the next time we meet, tell me what you think of it, Goodbye Yuri.)

"Bye."

I say as I feel my consciousness fade away.
