"I am Odin! The All Father."
'I guess this is what you call plot armor.'
"Hmm? This is the boy my farsight saw?"
His soft angelic voice still resonating throughout the plains.
'Farsight? Is that one of Odin's abilities? It saw me? How?'
"Well, fret not boy... For I have chosen you as my Incarnate."
He said proudly while standing up from his throne.
"What's your stats? My boy."
'Ah...
I'm stupid. How did I forget to check my Status Screen.'
I inwardly slap my forehead at my stupidity.
"Status."

I widen my eyes in shock.
'That's quite good if I just started. This means this body is quite good already.'
"Hmm? Not too great."
He ponders while stroking his beard.
"It's quite alright then."
Clap!
He claps his hands together echoing throughout the whole plains.
Suddenly...
The plains are gone?
I looked around, putting my hand on the ground which seemed to be made out of dirt.
Looking up, I see training dummies?
"Ho... Is this the first time you've seen the outside world?"
'Hey! I touch grass... sometimes.'
"Well, whatever."
He quickly tosses the spear in his right hand towards me.
I barely managed to catch it with my lacking hand eye coordination.
"Well then get to training."
"Ah."
'Is this bastard kidding me?'
"No, I'm not kidding you and it's rude to call a god a bastard."
'So, he can read my thoughts, that's good info at least.'
"You should start your training right away. Let's start with 500 spear slashes, followed by 1000 spear thrusts."
'I'm going to die.'
"You won't die this is simply your mental world. Though it doesn't translate to the physical world, you can learn different techniques and magic here."
"Then why am I doing this?"
"Simple. To get a feel of the spear. Now start"
I reluctantly walk up to the dummy and start swing the spear at it.
"You're worse than I thought."
"At least shut up while I'm doing this or maybe give me some useful information."
I silently mutter under my breath though it didn't escape the exceptional hearing of the mighty god.
"Alright, Alright. I'll at least keep count for you and give you some tips."
I inadvertently glare at this bastard of a god.
*********
"Alright, Alright. Stop swinging, I'm starting to get bored."
'You bastard you're the one that told me to start!'
Ignoring my rude comment, he started talking once again.
"I'll teach you some runes."
'Yes! Finally, something useful...'
I inwardly jump in glee, having been freed from this torture.
Though the All Father wouldn't let him off so easily. He didn't know that for now.
"The First Rune is the rune "Help" much as the name implies, you'll be able to help people in dire situations."
I nod in response to this, eager to do anything than to go back to mindlessly swinging the spear.
"Anyone that you are able to see will be in range of this rune."
He quickly draws a strange symbol in the air with this green type of energy.
"Ah... uhm... I don't know how to draw runes in the air with mana."
"Ouch!"
He immediately chopped me on the head for interrupting him.
"I'll get to it. Be patient boy."
*********
"I think I almost got it."
I've been trying to draw runes for the last 2 hours.
"Hah~~"
Odin yawned from how long he had to wait. He'd been sitting in the same spot for 2 hours who wouldn't get bored.
"My body is sore from all this waiting."
Suddenly a bright green symbol started to glow in front of me...
The runic symbol was complete.
Ding!
[Runic Magic Learned]
[First Rune Learned]
A robotic voice ringed in my head. This was the Status Screen. One of two great mysteries in the world.
'I should be at novice for both. Seeing as how I just learned them.'
Abilities are split into two groups Incarnatation Abilities and Normal Abilities.
With varying levels of proficiency such as Novice, Proficient, Advanced, and Master.
Of course some Abilities are fixed at can't grow any stronger.
"Well than let's move on. This lesson is going to be a bit more fun than the last."
He said while stretching his arms.
The moment he said that a spear appeared right in front of my face smacking me in the nose.
"Aghh... I think that broke my nose."
The pain was excruciating I mean I was just a simple teen in my past life.
"Ah, don't be a wuss. Deal with it."
He once again used his spear to hit me on the cheek sending me flying.
'It hurts like hell.'
I barely manage to stand up and the moment I look ahead...
A spear
"What am I suppose to learn from this!"
"Ah, I forgot."
I could barely see due to the pain in my face. I barely managed to open my eyes to see
a blouse?
"Put it on."
"Huh?!"
'I didn't know gods would have these types of preferences."
He quickly once again hit me on the head with the butt end of his spear.
I held my head in pain.
"No, this is a condition for one of my abilities. The conditions for farsight. The first is that you mustn't use your right eye and second you must wear some type of feminine clothing."
"Are you sure this isn't just a personal preference?"
"No, though you would look good in it. It's due to a ritual I had to do when I was alive it's called Seidr."
"Hah..."
I couldn't help, but sigh.
'Guess I'm a femboy in this life. What has my life come to.'
"It's not that big of a deal you just have to wear a pair of feminine clothing. In this age there's a ton of options."
"Go die."
"I can't, I'm a god."
With that he let out a hearty laugh.
'God, I hate this god so much.'
"Alright than for the remainder of the training you must wear this blouse. Oh, and about the eye thing."
He once again wrote in the air another strange symbol. Once it was complete it let out a green glow.
A bright green scar ran down my right eye. No matter what I did I couldn't open my right eye.
"Shall we get started?"
I blinked for just a second and a spear already appeared Infront of my eyes. Well for now eye.
'This is going to be a long day.'
"Hah..."
