Forren had chosen the blessing of the God of Combat, and so did the wolves; his blessings were simply the better ones to achieve long-term success. There were many blessings that offered extremely good benefits, such as giving extremely high-end gear quickly; proficiency at fighting was probably the best thing one could offer; and in my case, I can supplement my slower growth with an increased income.
'At the end of the day, high-end gear, especially those coming from field bosses, can be obtained by killing those bosses and selling the parts in the shop to obtain the special discount. Fighting skills, on the other hand, must be obtained through rigorous training and lots of combat experience. Anyone who will offer to cut that fatigue down by 15% will be immediately adored by those who can use their brain.'
