[Guide on God Blessings!]
[Welcome! This guide will explain everything you need to know about receiving a unique god blessing, including the potential risks and benefits.]
A massive book appeared in front of Alex.
It was the same one he had been holding earlier, but now it was enormous and floating in midair.
The book suddenly opened, its first page revealing itself in glowing letters.
[God blessings are powerful gifts bestowed by deities to mortals they find interesting, worthy, or useful.]
[Each blessing carries the essence of the god who grants it, giving you a fragment of their divine power.]
Beneath the text was a crude, low-quality drawing of a god handing a glowing orb to a mortal.
It almost looked like a child had sketched it.
Flip!
The book turned its page on its own, drawing Alex’s attention back.
[These blessings vary in strength, depending on the god’s domain and level, and can grant abilities, stat boosts, or even exclusive skills.]
[However, accepting a blessing is not without its risks.]
Flip!
The page turned again, and Alex leaned in closer, a sinking feeling in his chest.
[This was the general premise. Now, let’s get into the important details.]
Alex tensed up upon seeing that.
Hearing about something that he hadn’t even heard about in his past life was kind of shocking.
His eyes scanned the page, and what he read next almost made him choke.
[Every god or goddess can only grant their blessing to one person.]
“Only one, huh,” he mumbled.
[Once a god grants their blessing to someone, they cannot grant it to anyone else—even if that person dies.]
[This makes their choice critical, as it is permanent.]
Flip!
Alex’s mind raced as the page turned again.
[Across countless worlds, every god has already chosen their “champion” or “chosen one.”]
[Except for the God of Destiny.]
“So that means…” Alex muttered, realization hitting him, “That he chose me.”
Kaelios, the God of Destiny, had been waiting.
Through different other worlds, all the others had already chosen who they trusted with their abilities, making them warriors that fought for them.
Except for the [God of Destiny], aka the god that wanted to give his blessing to Alex.
Flip!
The next page revealed even more shocking information.
[Individuals with a god’s blessing will gain immense power, far beyond the reach of ordinary mortals.]
[No matter how much effort or talent someone has, they cannot compete with a chosen one blessed by a god.]
Flip!
Alex stared at the page, unable to look away.
[For example, the God of the Abyss might grant complete control over the abyss or bestow the rare “Abyss Wielder” (SSS) talent.]
[The abilities granted depend entirely on the god’s domain and their unique powers.]
[Chosen ones can also be summoned by their gods to fight for them in certain conditions.]
This made Alex pause.
If he accepted Kaelios’ blessing, he’d likely be thrown into battles against other chosen ones, fighting for the whims of a god.
[This means that if you join the God of Destiny, and your goal is to eliminate all gods, you will first need to eliminate their chosen ones.]
“As I thought…”
Flip!
Alex exhaled slowly, bracing himself.
[The power granted by the God of Destiny is currently unknown.]
[However, for reference, here are the five strongest gods:]
[God of Hatred]
[God of Death]
[God of Darkness]
[Primordial Goddess]
[God of Destiny]
“God of Destiny…” Alex whispered.
Kaelios was one of the top five gods.
Becoming the [Chosen One] of a stronger god almost meant that their chosen ones were also the strongest.
“Holy shit, wait a second,” Alex had to take some time to understand everything that was happening.
The chosen ones of the gods were considered the strongest individuals across all these worlds they conquered, and now, Alex was asked to join the god of destiny and become his chosen one.
In addition to that, the god of destiny was the only one that hadn’t selected a chosen one and was one of the top 5 strongest gods.
“Ok…” Alex sighed, his expression darkening, “What’s the catch?”
He didn’t know what power he would get, but it would surely be extraordinary, to the point that no matter what, he would defeat anybody.

There would surely be a catch to all of that, and even the panel at the start stated that there were benefits but also risks.
Flip!
The book seemed to sense Alex’s hesitation and turned to the next page.
[The risks of accepting a blessing are as follows:]
[1. If the god you are connected to dies, you will die as well.]
“Shouldn’t be surprising,” Alex mumbled.
The stakes were higher than he ever imagined.
[2. Gods can summon their chosen ones into battles, meaning you may be forced to fight others without warning.]
Alex’s jaw clenched.
That part also made sense, gods wouldn’t hesitate to use their champions as tools for their own conflicts.
[3. The next risks depend on the blessing you receive from a god, so it might only be revealed later.]
“Huh, not as many risks as I thought,” Alex mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck.
Sure, they were dangerous, but he had expected something far worse.
Flip!
The next page caught Alex off guard.
[There is also a risk for the gods themselves when choosing a champion.]
“What risk could a god possibly face?” Alex muttered.
The answer came swiftly.
[If a chosen one dies, the god who blessed them will lose half their power for two weeks.]
Alex’s eyes widened.
Losing half their power? For a god, that was practically a death sentence.
[This is why gods fiercely protect their chosen ones, ensuring they are prepared and trained to wield their blessings effectively.]
“It makes sense,” Alex said aloud.
If Kaelios chose him and he died, the God of Destiny would become vulnerable.
Other gods or even NPCs and players could take advantage of that and attack him.
Flip!
The book reached its final page, the glowing letters fading slightly.
[To receive a blessing, there are specific conditions that must be met. Return to Kaelios if you wish to proceed.]
[Further information about blessings will only be revealed after you have received one.]
With that, the book snapped shut and vanished.
The white void around Alex flickered and shattered like glass.
When Alex blinked, he found himself back in the [Fox Tribe Village].
“…This is insane,” he whispered, staring down at his hands.
Alex stood in silence for a moment, letting everything sink in.
Kaelios had chosen him. Out of all the beings in countless worlds, the God of Destiny wanted him as his champion.
The power he’d gain would be unparalleled, but the risks…
He glanced toward the horizon, his expression darkening.
If he accepted, he’d be dragged into a battle against the gods’ chosen ones.
If he declined, he’d lose a chance to gain the strength he desperately needed to protect humanity.
“This changes everything,” Alex muttered as he walked to the edge of the village.
The girls were probably in Alera’s house, chatting and relaxing.
But Alex couldn’t rest.
He needed time to think.
“…What am I supposed to do?” he whispered.
This decision would define his future.
Would he become the chosen one of the God of Destiny?
Or would he walk away from the offer, knowing he’d be giving up a chance at power few could even dream of?
For now, Alex closed his eyes, the weight of the world pressing down on him.
