I just finished to correct the various tables of the skills (and everything related to them), here there are the differences:
-I had not powered up the skills and their costs along with the mastery, now it's done.
-I renamed the skill Ki cloak in Ki reinforcement.
-I also corrected the different tables of what evolved/derived from what.
Finally free, from tomorrow, I can write again all days

In the end, how do I even ask for this favour? It's not like I can find the God of the Underworld along the road and say: "ehi king of Hell brother, the system says you own me a favour, can you give me another cheat? You know, one is not enough for me".
-Sure, why not, you need just to ask-.
This is one of those times when you really, reeaaallly hope that the one on whom you just joked is not behind you, and even though you already know the answer to that question, you still have a tiny bit of hope that is not him and ask.. more like think: "tell me no one is behind me and I just imagined that voice".
As in all of those situations I slowly turned, only to see a child leaning on a just appeared wall with crossed arms and wearing the most badass piece of clothing I have ever seen saying: -nope, I'm right here and you're lucky you did not insult me and you liked my clothes, else you would alredy be in my torture chamber... it wouldn't have been very comfortable, you should know it well no? You built it-.
The child is wearing a completely dark draped cloack which is fluttering with the wind that suddently came; there are some parts of armor here and there, but nothing too important, though his gauntlets are nothing short of epic (http://imgur.com/kynUJBC ).
"Well, it seems that you can hear my thoughts and know how to make an entrance, so I have to two questions: why all the Gods I meet look like childrens? And in the future, can I use the same entrance? That was kind of cool".
The God smirked pleased with himself: -well, for your first question, I'd say that when you have more or less unlimited power, then you don't really care about your form, there is also the fact that the form of a God is based on the being they speak with and it reflects their current emotions and moods-.
The God of the underworld came near me and looked in my eyes, following up: -there was a time when I was an old geezer, but during the eons I understood that if I worry for every single soul that arrives here I would go mad; in the beginning I had judged more or less every soul for their respective sins, but after a while of doing the same thing I got bored, so I created the undead race to play with them... that was also around the time that I changed my apparences-.
This means that after doing his work for an unknown period of time, he simply got bored ad took a vacation, while creating one of the most powerful and deadly race ever existed.
Not that I lament the fact that he created the undeads, or I would be dead, but isn't this kind of unfair? All the deads are forced to come back to life and entertain him... now that I think about it, the religion always says that humanity was created by god because even with all that life, the planet was missing something. Is it possible that the destiny of all sentient (or quite sentient) races is to entertain the Gods?
Congratulation, you understood the reason behind your and generally all existence, many have asked themselves the same question, but very few found the real reason; though the answer could potentially destroy all the religions, but who would believe you?

-Not bad, you found the reason of your existence with only a few words from me, am I not the best? And you don't have to worry about the others that are here, if they came, it means that it was their destiny; the karma never lies... though you are the exception that confirms the rule-.

The only worse thing than thinking you're a plaything for someone else, is when that someone else confirms it; though I can't condemn them, because would've done the same. Was I not the same with PC games in my old life? When I was bored, I created whole empires, the Gods just did the same thing but in grand style.
-It seems you took it in the good way, some break when they finally reach the answer they sought for their entire lives, but enough of that now, tell me your wish, however remember that you get only one chance, and if you overstep the boundaries of the , I just need to tell you why you did it and you get nothing-.
This means that if the wish is too annoying, he will not do it, and because I don't know how much I can ask for a , there is the possibility that I get nothing out of it, moreover there also seems to be a rule that he needs to explain why he will not grant my wish . It seems that this time I will not get any cheat.
The next best way to go around the problem is to ask multiple little things; he's the God that governs the dark and the space affinity, with a wave of the hand it's possible for him to do an innumerable amount of things, so it doesn't matter to them... or so I hope.
"Can you grant me the nature affinity, a little place in my pocket dimension where the time pass with a 1:1 ratio and a reasonable amount of the different kinds of monster cores present on this planet?".
With this I asked something impossible for him, something possible and something at his own discretion, even if I don't get anything, this way I can know what I can ask the next time. I just need to make another residence or I can come up with something interesting for the castle and I have another chance.
As if reading my thoughts the God smirked at me.
... Fuck, I forgot he can actually read my thoughts.
-ahahahah, you're the first person who comes up with this kind of method, normally no one gets the opportunity for a wish from the Gods, and those who do after hearing the rule only ask for something small or risk it and ask for something too big because it's the only time they would get the opportunity; good, you did the right choise-.
The body of the God of the Underworld is gradually disappearing from the head, while his voice is still here... it's quite creepy, but he's the God, so he can do what he wants.
-All your wishes are granted, I'll say this: for the first wish I only need to ask my sister so it's 2/3 of your wish, though it would've costed much more if you asked me to create something not related to my affinity, like the fruit of eternal life; for the second wish I can do it and is 0.75/3 of your wish, though for any other God it would be over the top; what saved you in the third wish is the word
By the time he finished his last word, a mountain higher than me composed of monster cores appeared.
The God of the Underworld granted your wish, from now on you can use the

I forgot to think about it, but... how I'm supposed to bring along all of those cores?
