Terrible in a good way.

Your uncle had beaten the s*** out of you.

Even when you're right handed tattoo manifested a shield and you knew how to use it he had the power to go right through him with one hand.

And when that Shield turned into your own weapon he batted it aside like you were a toddler despite having perfect form.

Your left hand as you touched your leg diagnosed it as broken. Running your hand along the path of bone should take healed it but not without pain, the pain went away when you focused on it though .

Both Powers drained you like you had heard gift would especially for those new to them.

Healing the single bruise on your uncle, from the one strike you're able to get through was easier .

" kid you are in luck ,"

Huff* " don't feel very lucky right now."

" that's just cuz you're stupid like me and your father, haha!" His belly laugh made you feel like you weren't completely screwed, " when you leave you'll probably never be able to come home because then the LIE would start to break, "

" never?? "

" I'm sorry kid it's basically your only option, you signed up as an adventure with no pact, when you get where you're going you're going to do two things First you're going to find the local healers and buy one of every type of health potion, you are then going to buy the same type of glass bottles, you were then going to buy a potion Bandelier. You will disguise all of your healing using the different potions. Second, you're going to go to the local office and tell them you're updating because you have a packed with a God now going to say it the same God me and your dad have, the first blessing you get from our God is a weapon that is perfect for you, one of the abilities as you get deeper along the path is for that weapon to also change into a ranged weapon. You will use that fact to hide your other gift. I suggest you go to a place with fewer of our worshipers and a place in need of Adventures the most they will not ask questions. "

After coaching you on that your uncle spent the rest of the night trying to cheer you up like he had when you were younger, you did your best to play into enjoying the war songs and stories and card game. But the future you had unwittedly tied yourself to kept your spirits from being truly lifted.

You picked the place far away on the network of portals, leaving the land you've known your whole life, like his words had suggested you found the place in need of the most adventures, thankfully they weren't in need of high-tier just a lot of low, a new land had opened on the network someplace long ago lost to the darkness of the void and had been reclaimed by one of the nicer War gods.

So far the land seem to be relatively harmless in the grand scheme of things but if regular folk were going to reclaim the land and turn it into something useful, it would need many parties to venture forth and quell it, purge the darkness that lingered and defeat the enemies that hid within.

Following all of your uncles advice you now stood before the clerk responsible for assigning you.

" okay new guy, since you don't have a crew, I'm going to assign you to one because you are not someone I would trust to run a solo."

" that's fair I wouldn't want to do a solo anyways"

" oh that's refreshing normally the green is grass new guys that go this far away from home have too much bravado for me to stop them from committing suicide by stupidity."

" I'm going to choose to take that as a compliment,"

" you good because it was one or at least as close as you're going to get from me, I've got a team of other misfits like you they need a fourth honestly I was hoping for someone with a better support role but another war god worshiper should be enough to smash through some low to your enemies and y'all can get healed up once you get back here. "

" I may be from a long line of muscle bound idiots but I was also raised by a Healer, " you open your cloak to show the Bandelier of 'potions' in breakproof bottles, "I rather not use them as we both know they can be expensive, but I promised to always carry them."

"Even better I'll still put you down as a striker but I'll note that you were trained in mundane support roles. Meet your new partners here tomorrow bright and early and when y'all finish the quest you can park your ways or if something magical happens and you make friends let us know and we'll put you down as a duo or Trio or full team.
