Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

261 The Way Of Training Endurance Skills

—–

Before going to breakfast, I remembered something important, the new Skill I had acquired. After the Level of the Agriculture Skill reached Level 10, I had acquired a new Skill which was given to me as a choice between another one. These two skills would diverge into different Skill Branches or something, so I ultimately picked up the Skill that enhanced my durability and strength, the Yggdrasil’s Endurance Skill.

This Skill is an amazing ability that allows me to gain durability and endurance in my body, so I can become as strong and hard as the bark of the world tree itself, Yggdrasil. It also comes with a special effect that temporarily reinforces my skin to become extra dense and durable, which is pretty amazing.

The way to gain Skill Proficiency out of this Skill is by doing endurance trainings and stamina trainings, alongside constantly activating the active effect until I exhaust my entire body, as I cannot really exhaust my Mana. This active effect has a small cooldown, so I cannot use it all the time through the power of Infinite Mana, sadly. Nonetheless, I always wait the 10 minutes cooldown and conjure it again constantly, all the days, every day since I got the Skill, each time I activate the active effect, I gain around +5 Skill Proficiency, so that adds up every day every 10 minutes.

The other ways is by being hit. Yeah, I have to endure hits directly into my body, can be using my arms, chest, or even my head or anything, even my back, but I cannot defend using armor or shields, or I won’t gain any skill proficiency that way. It is a bit tough, but I’ve managed to practice by asking help to Zack and Aquarina, alongside my Familiar Furoh, who didn’t liked the idea of hitting me at all and supplicated me to change my opinion about this training method, but he ultimately gave up and began whipping me with his tentacles, he was very strong so I was able to gain some nice skill proficiency with each hit, around +1 to +2.

Of course, I couldn’t really tell my parents about it directly, they think I am just trying to train my endurance in a new way, although my father dislikes how I allow myself to get hit all the time, and that a girl like me which is half-elf must learn how to evade hits instead of tanking them. Even if I had godly defense or some sort of “pseudo immortality” as my parents call my endless HP, he said that I should still try to evade because my body is small, my center of gravity is very light and I can easily be pushed around by anybody, and he said that it won’t change when I grow up, I will probably be as slim as mother and as heavy as her, which she is very light, in fact, I think I can lift her easily if she allowed me to.

Because of the lack of weight to keep myself in the ground, even with good defense, I will just be thrown around like a rag doll by stronger opponents, which is really quite the pain... But it’s not as if there are no spells that can enhance weight, but I have yet to learn those... Nonetheless, because I don’t want to scare off my parents, I am keeping this training mostly a secret and something I cannot really do all the time because of their watchful eyes, or the watchful eyes of their spirits guarding me at all times.

But even without having as many opportunities to gain Skill Proficiency as Agriculture, I have still gained plenty of it, and the Skill itself had Leveled up quite nicely over the time I got it.

.....

[Yggdrasil’s Endurance: Lv4]

Skill Proficiency: 1732 / 5500

The World Tree Yggdrasil blesses your body with great endurance that can compare to a fraction of its bark’s defense.

Passively enhances your Stamina, Defense, and Vitality with each Level, while your skin progressively grows harder and more resistant to blows. Can be used actively to enhance magic and physical defense of your body for a few seconds.

Active Effect (4): Enhances your Physical and Magical Defense and Total Endurance by +40% for 1 Minute. Cooldown: 10 Minutes.

Level Bonus (4): Enhances the Skill Effects by +40%

——

The level bonuses overlap with the active effect, which also increase over leveling, so I actually gain another +40% endurance on top of the already set number every time I use the active effect! Ah, I wish my status wasn’t glitched so I could see my Endurance-related stats increasing...

Oh, I have noticed that unlike the Agriculture Skill, the Yggdrasil Endurance Skill increases by 1500 Skill Proficiency each level, making it that instead of 4000 Skill Proficiency required to level up at level 4 was increased to 5500... Wow, I wonder if other Skills will also require this much skill proficiency? Damn.

I wish I could have something like Swordsmanship as a Skill, I swing my blade so much every day that I could easily gain a lot of Skill Proficiency out of it! Well, sometimes I gain +1 Skill Proficiency for this skill when I am overexerting myself practicing my blade swings, so this skill is even related to my physical exercise. Maybe I should do more sit-ups and squats than I do every day just to see if I can get some little bonus Skill Proficiency out of it, so I can min-max in the best way possible.

...But aren’t Skills making me a bit workaholic? Well, Alice has been regretting having unlocked this Leveling thing, saying that it only made me even more of a workaholic, saying that “Maybe I should had unlocked the Item Drop function or the Item Box...” Or something, I don’t remember well. But she always talk about things I don’t understand. Whatever the case, I really like this Leveling System, so I am going to abuse it as much as possible.

“Aquarina, wait! Wanna help me practice endurance?”
