After a good night's sleep which sadly lasted only 4 hours, I woke up. My eyes opened and I got off the bed and made my way to the connected bathroom to do my daily routine.
I washed my face, brushed my teeth and did my business before I made my way to the alchemical workshop. The blue pharmacy consisted of 4 segments. The front entrance where Naaza's counter was. Directly behind the counter was a door which led to a hallway-ish are which served as a lounge as well. The lounge connected to 4 sub sections.
The closest to the left was Miach's alchemical workshop where he made the potions. To the close right was the patient beds I woke up in the first time I was here. And the last 2 rooms were mine and Naaza's room.
Miach used to live in my room before he moved to his workshop apparently. I felt bad about it but that was all the more reason to scrounge up cash by going dungeon diving so I could get Miach his own room.
As I entered the lounge I saw Miach and Naaza talking. "Lord Miach, you HAVE to stop giving away medium grade potions like they're cand- no- I don't care if the bigger looked like he needed it. We need it more". Looks like I walked in on Naaza lecturing Miach about his favorite hobby. Giving away products for free.
Miach who was glancing at the floor saw me and instantly smiled, "ah! Good morning Felix. You're up early". After seeing Miach talk to me Naaza also looked back and decided to comment, "he really isn't, weve been up for 1 hour 30 minutes already". She said as she sighed.
'rude', I commented inside my head. Paying her no attention seemed to tick her off so I planned on doing that more often. "Don't ignore me brat!", she yelled as I ignored her once again.
Miach once again smiled as he spoke, "well I'm free for another half hour, so what do you say to getting your falna?". Hearing that instantly made me happy as my ears perked up. "Oh yeah, still falnaless", Naaza said as she yawned and left the lounge towards the alchemical workshop. She was an alchemist as well, a fairly skilled one too.
Miach patted the couch beckoning me to sit on it and I did as he implied. "Can you face away from me Felix?", he requested. Even though it was more of an order his polite to just superceded it. "Sure", I replied and turned away from him.
"Can you take off your shirt?", he asked. I paused and glanced at him strangely. "It's to apply the falna, my ichor must touch the root of your soul which is connected to the spine", Miach explained to ward of any confusions.
With a shrug I took off my shirt as I saw Miach poke himself with a needle in my peripheral. His hand disappeared from my view and I felt the weirdest sensation ever.
It felt like someone shot an arrow through my back but the arrow was coated in honey or a healing potion. I felt the thick feeling spread through my body as it got thinner and thinner.
A system window popped up suddenly

Congratulations on getting your falna!
Spin the wheel for a reward?
[Spin] [don't spin]

You know, I don't understand why the option for not spinning even exists. Why would I give up on some free stuff like ever?
I spun the wheel and it landed on
[Jujutsu kaisen power set + skill tree integration]
'Always good to have more options I guess'
I felt Miach place a piece of paper on my back for a solid 5 seconds before taking it off.
"Oh my, this is quite troublesome", Miach said in a concerned tone. "Why? What happened", I inquired as I thought of the worst.
"You appear to have an innate skill, it being called [blessing of the nameless diety]", he said. "Is that the only skill I have?", I asked a bit confused as I should have [ universal language comprehension ] and the mist breathing forms.
"No, you also have [ universal language comprehension ] which is a wonderful skill. The issue is with the first skill I mentioned", Miach explained. Looks like mist breathing wasn't a skill.
"What's the issue with it?", I inquired as it didn't seem that weird to me. "The description. It starts off with;
[Blessing of the nameless deity]
Know your place lesser god, don't gaze at something you can't possibly comprehend.
The true name of the user has been stricken from the world's memory, allowing for combination of skills", Miach described. It did seem odd now that I think about it. "What does it mean by my true name being stricken from the world's memory?", I asked Miach.
"The skills of a person are tied to their true name. A true name is the name given to a soul by the universe or the world. Gods only have a true name due to their origin being from tenkai which gives them their power along with divinity. Mortals are born with a true name and the name given to them by their parents. Since you don't have a true name to tie skills to they are able to be merged together it seems", Miach explained in detail. "I... Don't get it", I said. I mean I tried to comprehend it but it is I bit confusing.
"Think of 3 pots. Each of them contain a seasoning. One pot has sugar, one has spice and one has black pepper. The pots in this situation are your true name and the seasonings are your skills. If the pots don't exist the seasonings will fall and come into contact with each other" Miach explained with a metaphoric scenario. "Thank you Lord Miach. I understand now", I replied greatfully.
Miach smiled at me before turning serious once again. "This by itself is miraculous but the first part of the description of your skill worries me as well. It looks like some other god has blessed your birth and allowed me to see your skill. This is worrisome because a mortal can't handle 2 falnas or 2 blessings. I think the fact you're still alive is due to your lack of a true name. This god also seems to have divine strength comparable to gods who haven't gotten their powers locked away by chronos' rules. One more thing that bother me is that gods in tenkai should be unable to interact with genkai after the gods descent here. This skill is truly enigmatic and I suggest you don't tell anyone about it.", Miach said as he looked at me with an extremely serious look.
"I understand lord Miach. I won't tell anyone about this, not even Naaza", after saying this Miach calmed down. "You shouldn't worry over this child, I will look into it. You should start training to get used to your falna", Miach said as he got up and headed to his workshop.
"What should I train with? If possible I would prefer a sword if we have one", I requested. I would have to get the mastery up on the mskt breathing styles anyway. "One minute, child", Miach said before he disappeared into his workshop.
I heard Naaza and Miach talking again, "I can't believe you're giving that to him" "it's collecting dust anyway and I couldn't bear to sell it" "haa...". These were the snippets I heard.
Miach came out and showed me a beautiful sword. It had light blue and dark green accents on the hilt and it had a curved blade. It came with a sheath as well. It looked like a katana to me but it was a bit shorter.
Miach handed the sword to ehi h I was looking at with stars in my eyes, "here child, this belonged to an esteemed member of our familia before he perished in the dungeon. He was a level 3 as well...". Miach looked away as if he were reminiscing.
"I will take good care of it lord Miach!", I said. I also meant it. It was such a beautiful sword, I was excited just holding it. "You can practice in the herbal garden outside", Miach said whilst smiling. I ran towards the main entrance to go to the garden. Just before I left Miach called out to me once again.
"Oh and Felix, Naaza told me you plan to go dungeon diving today. If you wish to do that I forbid you! Don't you even dare of thinking to go to the dungeon for atleast one week! Get acclimated with the sword first", Miach said with a serious tone and a serious face. My ears drooped a bit as my plans were abolished. My mood was still good because of the sword though. I nodded my head in acceptance as I went out to the garden.
