'I'll choose gravity and space time'

Soren had just finished selecting all his skills and magic affinities, however, that does not mean he knew how to use magic, he was never compatible with it before. Now that he had been able to take care of all his system needs he decided to inspect his own body. He was incredibly tiny, roughly around 4 inches in height had white skin with black blemishes or black skin with white blemishes he could not tell. He had inferred that it had something to do with his blessing but could not be sure, and other than what he was able to physically see he could not tell what else he had looked like. He had no weapons and could not for the life of him figure out how to use magic. The first thing he needed to do was to find shelter before he got attacked by gods know what. He scrambled around trying to get his bearings, climbing a tree with much difficulty, looked around and determined he had no idea where he was. If he had been to his woods he had some semblance of an idea of his location but did not. Feeling a little downtrodden he made his way down the tree, Soren felt this presence and felt lots of eyes on him, hairs standing up on the back of his neck his eyes darted around trying to find the threat, out of the corner of his eye he saw a stream of liquid come his way as he dodged sideways. [HISSSSS] was heard as some smoke started rising from where the liquid touched the tree. Soren's mind immediately went to acid as he saw this foot long insect come charging out of the leaves. It looked like a praying mantus from earth except it had extra limbs for latching onto its prey. Soren only had one thing he could use, his martial arts skill, however, he didn't want to get close to the attacker, he wish he knew how to use magic. Soren quickly ran from the beast looking for anything that may help him. He ran past a somewhat sharp rock and picked it up without slowing. The beast behind him made a noise he could not identify, but signaling an attack he leapt forward into a bush narrowly dodging the deadly swipe. Soren crawled through the brush watching the beast look for him. He found a stick that looked to be just the right length, and just the right thickness. He used the sharp stone to cut some of wood in flexible stripes and used them fasten the rock to the stick. He had a makeshift spear now at least.

'I gotta find a way to sharpen this rock, that beast's carapace looks difficult to penetrate.'

Soren thought only for a moment before he crawled around behind the beast using the bushes for cover moving as silently has he could. The beast was looking for him through the brush was unsuccessful so far. Soren came across two big rocks where the bush had grown through, splitting the rock.

'This is the perfect chance to sharpen this thing.'

He then began to work grinding down the stone spear to a sharper point, and after a few minutes he had a rock spear head he felt could pierce the carapace of this weird looking beast.

"Alright ya beast let's go!" Soren cried out his battle cry and verbal challenge to the beast as they went back and forth. The beast lunged at Soren as he dodged to its side and leapt up and slammed his weapon into the base of the monsters skull crushing the exoskeleton as some blood or goop started to leak from its wound. The beast went berserk, it thrashed its scythe like claws to and fro frantically forcing Soren to retreat. Soren then leapt up onto a tree out of the reach of the beast, he was not on a branch he momentarily was suspended against gravity on the side of the tree, but using his legs he leapt downward onto the beast spear out in front of him piercing the beast's head shattering the shaft on impact.

[Reflux] [Lightning Spear] [Lightning Whip]

Soren felt himself get stronger and smiled, this may be something to grind out and evolve, to overcome his weakness. He is now in charge of my own fate. [Gruuuuug]

'Ugh I must be hungry, I haven't exactly eaten yet coming to this place'

He looked over at the small monster he just killed and nearly got sick from thinking about eating that.

'Well, I was a hunter before so lets hunt. I think I can use its body as bait for something.'

He struggled to pick up the giant mantis looking monster so decided to drag it instead. He settled on a clearing at the base of a embankment that from his new height looked like a cliff. He dropped the corpse and waited, an hour goes by and he hears something in the brush. A black rabbit with a green horn comes into the clearing and starts to devour the monster.

'I almost forgot I have this skill now, Inspect.'

[Black Poison Horned Rabbit]

Health 100/100

Soren: Is that all the information you can give me?

'Sigh, everything has to be difficult'

Soren still did not have much he could do in terms of attacking so he tried to be clever instead. He used his [lightning whip] which failed the first few attempts. He was having difficulty getting the hang of his magic, but finally managed to wrap it around a tree, then condensing it super fast like a rubber band shot himself at the rabbit

<-30 HP>

'Great, just my luck, not only did I not do a lot of damage to it but now its pissed off also.'

The rabbit jumped forward and swung its horn in Soren's direction throwing out a green slash. Soren dodged to the side as he watched a flower pedal fall to the floor from the slash, then the rest of the plant wilted. Soren now fully understanding what poison horned entails, he needed to attack the rabbit as much as possible without getting hit by the horn. If he failed, it'd be the second time he has died and he knew he would not get another life.

[reflux] [lightning spear]

Soren's whole body had lightning coursing through it as he crouched down before dashing towards his opponent. The rabbit used its poison horn again causing Soren to skid to the side as he dodge then rushing forward he stabbed his lightning spear into the hind leg of the rabbit who then kicked him on reflex.

<-25 hp>

'Damn that took more than half my health, I will not die again I have to get my revenge.'

Using the last of his mana Soren created another lightning spear, coming more at the rabbit from the sides he would come in and slash and back out he would repeat this strategy several times on both sides of the rabbit staying away from its hind legs, with his boost to speed and reflexes he wasn't having any issues dodging the poison horn attack.

<10 seconds remaining> <15/100 critically wounded>

'I have to finish this fight soon'

Soren dashed forward, the rabbit apparently on its last legs burst forward going to impale Zeek instead of using its poison ability. Soren skid to a halt and dashed backwards then aiming for the spot the rabbit would land, launched his spear which traveled like a bolt of lightning piercing the rabbits forehead killing it.
