Perhaps she had grown bored of the game, or maybe she'd simply thought of some other, more entertaining amusement, for whatever reason, Freya ultimately chose not to make things too difficult for Renjiro.
At any rate, after that little "unique twist" of a humiliating display, the sultry goddess did keep her promise. She personally conducted the ritual to grant him her divine blessing.
When it was just the two of them in the room,
The moment a drop of her divine blood touched him, both Renjiro and Freya widened their eyes in shock.
For Renjiro, the surprise came from the torrent of information pouring into his mind with the activation of the Genshin System, a reward for completing his "initial quest."
He was still in the middle of digesting it.
But for Freya…
She was utterly stunned by Renjiro's personal status.
Beneath the freshly engraved familia crest on his back, a row of sacred runes spelled out words she had never expected to see:
================
Higashikata Renjiro
Level: Lv.1
Abilities: Strength (i-0), Endurance (i-0), Dexterity (i-0), Agility (i-0), Magic (i-0)
Skill: Starry Abyss
Magic: Paimon Time (Manifestation of the Demon God),
Genshin Descent (Descent of the Astral Gods),
Traveler twins
================
It was common knowledge that when mortals of the lower world received the blessing of a deity, there was always a chance they might awaken an innate magic, or else acquire one through arcane grimoires.
And Freya, being the head of the most powerful faction in Orario, certainly never lacked for such grimoires, those priceless tomes that disintegrated into useless ash after a single reading, each worth a fortune.
In the threads of fate yet to come, she would even bestow one upon a certain rabbit.
But now, what lay before her eyes was far beyond that.
================
Magic: Paimon Time (Manifestation of the Demon God)
Incarnation Summoning Magic. Summons the temporal demon god Paimon as an avatar to assist in battle.
Paimon wields the powers of Time Stop and Time Acceleration. During use, neither the outside world can affect her, nor can she affect it.
Paimon possesses a Spatial Inventory (capable of storing even massive structures) and Spatial Teleportation (anchored points must be set beforehand; range infinite; number of anchors = host's Level +1).
Paimon enjoys Infinite Stamina and Flight via Levitation. Her physical abilities remain equal to the host's pre-blessing level (that of an ordinary human).
Paimon's soul is a replica of the host's, sharing all memories and information instantly, without limit of distance.
Additional effects remain locked.
Chant: None (can be activated instantly by thought alone)
Dispel Phrase: "We'll explore this area another time."
================
Magic: Genshin Descent (Descent of the Astral Gods)
Incarnation Summoning Magic. Summons avatars of astral deities, each mastering one of the Seven Elements.
Summons are obtained via a daily Drawing at 4:00 AM, with chances to receive various weapons (specific probability rules apply).
Each astral avatar has an independent Status Page.
The maximum number of avatars present at once = Host's current Blessing Level +4.
Avatars can trigger Elemental Resonance and Elemental Reactions with one another.
No friendly fire between avatars.
All avatars are equipped with Wings of Wind.
All avatars have Hostility Sense.
Each avatar carries a Field Compendium (including maps).
Avatars' level caps increase as the host's level advances (current cap: Lv.20).
Being energy-based lifeforms, they suffer no permanent damage; if defeated, they vanish and revive in 7 days.
Their exclusive weapons possess the absolute property of Indestructibility.
Each avatar carries a soul fragment replicating the host's, with infinite-range memory sharing.
Additional effects remain locked.
Chant: "Gather here, ye stars!"
Dispel Phrase: "Ancient battlefield, darkness descends."
================
Magic: Traveler twins
Transformation Magic. The host splits into the Traveler twins (Aether and Lumine).
The Luminous Twins are attuned to all elemental forces. They can wield multiple elements simultaneously and even fuse them. Elemental access unlocks progressively with the host's Blessing Level (currently unlocked: Wind).
Both twins are equipped with Wings of Wind.
Both twins have Hostility Sense.
They can trigger Elemental Resonance and Elemental Reactions with astral avatars.
Traveler Aether is directly controlled by the host's consciousness.
Traveler Lumine bears a replicated soul of the host, sharing memories infinitely across any distance.
Additional effects remain locked.
Chant: "Toward the stars and the abyss."
Dispel Phrase: "The world has rejected me."
================
For the vast majority of mortals in the lower world, even those blessed by a deity, possessing three spells was the absolute limit.
