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

Chapter 32: The Continents Of The World

—–

Cloudia was a floating continent. Therefore, no matter how vast it could be, it had to have an edge to it, where one would drop off and descend onto the world’s surface.

And eventually, we saw it. The edge of this continent was covered in waterfalls from the rivers coming from the dozens of mountain ranges we saw past this point.

The gigantic waterfalls bathed the world below with this fresh water. Though, I wonder if it actually stopped at land or fell into the oceans below.

If this floating continent were to be floating above land, the water might end up forming even more rivers down below. Even a massive lake that divided into rivers wasn’t impossible.

Of course, that’s only if the floating continent doesn’t move from its original position, which I’m not even sure if it does in the first place.

In any case, this beautiful scenario is worth more than anything in this world.

.....

I am truly blessed to be able to see such beauty...

In fact, I’ve begun to think I was very lucky to have such a beautiful second life.

Even if I was considered a mistake by that god or something, this sight in front of me makes it all worth it...

And well, my beloved parents as well, naturally.

“Foo!”

Naturia suddenly emerged from my soul, floating around me as she admired the beautiful sight with me.

“These are the Divine Waterfalls. The purest water in the entire world descends from this continent down below,” mother explained.

“This water is a blessing. The continent of Cloudia moves around the entire world in intervals... but usually, it always gets attracted to places where energy is lacking and the land is dying, such as dried and deserted lands. These places are flooded by these waterfalls for a few days as the continent passes by them, nourishing the place,” father continued where she left off.

“Ooohh... so this continent helps the surface?”

“Pretty much. It doesn’t stay here doing nothing. It emanates a strong divine energy that nourishes the land below and helps the people and living beings prosper,” mother replied.

“I see... and it was made by the gods? Isn’t this helping the world? If so, why does the world hates the gods and humanity?” I wondered.

“That’s... a complicated question,” father said, letting out a sigh.

“We better not talk about such things, dear... I don’t think you’re ready yet,” mother added.

“Ready...?”

What do they mean by ready? Plus, it’s not even that complicated!

Ah well. Then again, I’m still a one-year-old, so I guess it might seem complicated to someone like me.

After we went through the beautiful waterfalls, we headed down below.

We were bathed by a bit of water while reaching the surface. Surprisingly, the waterfalls were strong. Even if we were far away from them, the wind made the water flow around, making the water fall more like rain than an actual big waterfall. I suppose that because it’s like rain and not a giant waterfall falling over these lands that it doesn’t cause disasters on the surface.

When we got through the ocean of clouds, we eventually greeted the vast expanse beyond the continent.

And oh boy was it beautiful.

The first thing that greeted our sight was a vast landscape of grasslands, forests, lakes, rivers, and more mountains.

Now that I look at it for a bit more, it looked way smaller than in the continent. Apparently, everything there was massive.

But in here, there were certain areas that were not as rich in vegetation. Nevertheless, the rain from the continent was nourishing everything.

“Ah, so we’re closer this time around. The continent has been floating around the continent of Gallatea,” mother said all of a sudden.

“Gallatea?” I asked.

“There are four continents in this world, dear. Gallatea is one of the biggest ones there is, where most of the humans live on,” mother replied.

“So... we’re in the human continent?” I asked.

“You could phrase it that way,” mother said with a chuckle.

“The Amazon live on this continent as well, but in the wildlands to the north. That’s where most of the human civilizations don’t exist,” father told me.

“What about the other three continents?” I asked after that.

“There’s the Demon Continent, where demons and monsters originate. That continent was made from the corpse of the first Demon King,” mother answered.

“After that is the Araburn Continent, a wildland with a vast variety of beastkin and other demihuman races. Humans also live there, but those lands belong to demhumans,” father said, continuing where mother left off.

“And then, there’s the fantastical continent of Atlanta. It’s a land of wonders where many advanced magic civilizations liv. It’s also a place where the Gods once lived, but it’s now occupied by a vast mixed group of races from all across the world... in fact, we Elves are one of the few natural inhabitants there. Speaking of which, we possess vast lands on that continent which we govern,” mother concluded.

“Ooh... will I get to govern one?” I asked.

“W-Well, you are my daughter so you could technically own any land you wanted if I asked around... but I don’t think you should think about such things. It’s quite difficult to govern a piece of land,” mother told me.

“O-Oh...”

“Anyways, we’re currently in Gallatea. This is often called the “human supremacy continent” by the other two continents. Although there are a few kingdoms and nations that don’t discriminate against the demihuman races, the majority do. Also, they used to do slavery,” my father said.

“But in our younger years we abolished slavery in multiple kingdoms. Then again, now that we haven’t moved down here in a while, I don’t know how things might have progressed,” mother added.

“I see... it must have been hard back then... I guess.”

“Well, that’s the past for you... Eustace, hurry up.” Mother could not help but let out a sigh after this.

“Ah, sure...”

Hearing mother’s order, the giant owl suddenly coated himself in flashing light, as he started to move incredibly fast, resembling a flash of white light. I think we traveled kilometers in just minutes.

In any case, we were getting closer and closer to the Amazon’s home. After waiting for a week, I can finally see Aquarina again, as well as her parents Shade and Nepheline.

It’s going to be a lot of fun for sure.

I can’t wait...

TRUUMM!!!

However, before we could even get close, the owl suddenly stopped in midair as a strong presence emerged before us.

“What’s that?” I asked.

The being was clad in black armor, his head that of a skull.

“A Death-attribute familiar?!” my mother could not help but blurt out.

“What’s something like this doing here? Wait... this is...a Demon King Remnant’s familiar?” father muttered in surprise.

“Kakaka... I found youuu...”
