Chapter 1 - Family, Blue Screens & Knowledge

 The first thing I see after waking up is darkness again. Apparently, I’m still inside my soon-to-be mother’s womb. I just hope that Bob at least put near the end of the pregnancy, because spending 9 months in pure darkness is not on my to do list.

----------------------------------------

After a month…

----------------------------------------

Yeah… Either Bob did this purposefully or he royally screwed things up. My bet is on the first option, give or take.

 Well, at least I have another 8 months to do whatever I can.

 Oh, and if you are wondering how I know how much time I have left, here’s the answer. I counted the seconds. Yep, being an assassin requires lots of patience.

 Now, how about I look at my character status?

 Uh......... As far as I'm concerned, I didn't wished for any of these.

 Okay, I indeed wished for some but some that are outside of my mortal scope of understanding. I think it's time for [Identify].

----------------------------------------

After hours of [Identify]

----------------------------------------

Okay.

Now that everything has been sorted out, I kind of understand everything.

 Starting with my death title. Apparently I gained it because my subconscious remember every single detail of my death, from the moment that The Reaper took my soul till my meeting with Bob, and truly speaking, I kind of expected that.

 The blessings on the other hand, were a total surprise. The AllGodFather should be Bob way of watching me hoping for a little entertainment while stopping the other gods from intervention. The other blessings are probably the other gods that picked an interest in my foreign soul. All in all, not a bad thing.

 Affinities, by what I can tell, are all the knowledge that you has of such element, with scientific knowledge taking 60% and magical 1 taking 40%. Of course, there are exceptions like Holy, Soul and Void that is a mixture of time and space.

 For the finishing touch, we have Aether, a higher form of mana that can manifest both internally as well as externally, while mana can only do one of those on a single body.

 In addition, before I forget we have the artificer and science skills. Basically, they are just that. Sciences is the mix of chemistry, biology, physics, math, history, etc... While artificer is a mix of all production skills.

 The rest can speak for themselves, I guess. Now let's train.

 Even though I said I was training, this was simple skill/affinity grinding.

 First I started using [Identify] on everything on the status, and then later when my eyes where formed, I used it in every single cell thus grinding it to the max.

 Then I used my [Skill Alchemy] to mix [Identify] with my [Soul Affinity] and gained the [Soul Analysis]. On the start, I didn't know what uses it had, but then I used it and started seeing every soul near my own. Not only that but, apparently, if I want to see someone status I just need to use [Soul Analysis], since the protection people use against [Identify], don't do shit against the soul version, and you need to have a clear contact with death or be born with affinity to souls to even sense and then later protect yourself against it.

 One of my most recent discoveries however, was the mana veins, mana heart and mana core. They all exist inside the soul and decide your talent with mana as well your path. Nevertheless, one neat discovery is that while you're a fetus your soul receive a monstrous amount of soul energy to nourish your soul, and I could use such energy to improve your mana veins, mana heart and mana core or even create others, but they don't increase your mana poll. I also increased my INT and WIS with these discoveries, as well as my affinity with souls.

 One of these days, I was meditating and I used [Identify]. What I didn't expected was that I would identify the void itself. Coupled with my knowledge of time and space I was able to increase my affinity with Void.

 The reason I didn't created any spells yet is because:

 1 - I don't know how the spells work

 2 - By listening the thoughts of my family I discovered that I would be inspected by a priest on my first year, and although I have a lot of skills, titles and blessings, there were others that had more than me. Not only that but, apparently their religion is based on life, death, reincarnation, and those that had titles about reincarnation were stronger than others, thus the families always hoped that their sons would have the title [The Reincarnated One] making my last worries disappear. However, no one ever had any starting spell so...

Oh, oh. I started seeing light, so it's time for me birth uh...

Oh well, world here I come...
