Choosing my Blessings

The god before me pulls out a decently sized book from his robes and hands it to me. He conjures up a Table and Chairs for us to sit in while I look through the blessings.
There really is hundreds of skills in here, many of which are linked to common skills and weapons, or skills used for some kind of Job like Alchemy or Blacksmithing.
It takes me a while to look through them, more then a few of them catching my eye, but since I can only pick 3 of them its a hard decision.
"Just to make things clear, even if you don't pick the Blessing, you can still obtain the skills linked to that blessing through your own hard work, its just that the Blessing means you will Excel at that skill or ability right off the bat." He clarifies, seeing me struggling to pick my blessings.
I look through the ones I want again and decide to pick the following three blessings.

Monster Tamer:

  • You Excel at forming connections with non-humanoid creatures.
  • You will have a creature already linked to your soul upon birth.
  • You will have the Ability "Adaptive Taming" which will allow you to take on certain aspects of the monsters you have tamed.

Overflowing Mana:

  • Your Mana level will be several times higher then most other humans at birth, which will make learning magic and forming taming contracts much easier.
  • Your Mana Circuits being overstimulated from a young age should lead to better growth of the body overall with proper training and exercise.

Heartfelt Bonds:

  • The people who you share a deep connection will receive minor blessings that will make their lives easier or better in some way. The minor blessings are Random, be it increased Luck or even Increased Vitality, and the deeper your connection the more or greater the blessing will be.
  • Creating these Bonds will increase your own strength, so the more Bonds you have the stronger you will be, just make sure you don't go breaking them or you could receive harsh consequences.

I smile as I decide on these three skills. The book disappears as I finish deciding and the god speaks up.
"Those are some good choices you have made, not many choose Heartfelt Bonds but it happens to be one of my personal favorites, and Monster Tamer is a fun one." He says with a smile. "There isn't much time left for you here, so I would just like to wish you luck in this new life. Unless you pick up a Oracle skill somehow, we won't be able to talk again, but I hope you can live a life you will find fulfilling, you have certainly earned it."
"I will try my best, and thank you for giving me this second chance at life." I say. My body starts to fade away after I say this and with one last good bye my spirit is pushed through what looks like a glowing mesh net before im sent flying in a random direction.

My spirit flies through a large patch of Woods before I see a smallish Cabin with a very pregnant woman sitting on the porch, I feel my spirit enter her belly and everything goes black.
