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

373 Exploring The Dungeon!

—–

“So there was such a person out there?” I wondered.

“Yep, but it’s boring to talk about old stuff anyways, right? We are here to delve into the dungeon, so let’s get ready.” My father said.

We first decided to explore the Floor 1. Usually it was the most emptiest of them. The internal floors of this dungeon were divided in large sections, usually having smaller rooms sometimes, or hidden passages that led to areas with special treasures or monsters stronger than normal. The floor 1 looked like a very old and mossy underground dungeon from a fortress. There were barrels scattered around, completely empty. Sometimes you would find a piece of armor dropped, or ropes. There was a lot of trash sometimes.

While exploring, we all brought out our Spirits. Zack brought his own Spirit, resembling a small cloud with a single eye, Aquarina brought her familiars, the slime Pyuku, who was quite strong, and her Leviathan Jr. Meanwhile, I decided to not bring all of mine, because they were too many, so I decided to prioritize and bring out Ignatius and Naturia.

Now that Ignatius had a System Seed and developed his own Lesser System, unlike me, he lacks glitches and can level up both his Skills and Levels. He also got a Class and even a Status, which I decided to look at again to refresh my memory.

He has yet to gain any EXP for his Level, but through incredibly hard work, he had managed to Level up his Eggshell and Baby Dragon Breath Skills. The level up of his Skills comes with Skill Bonus just like my own Skills too! But instead of giving +10% enhancement to all effects with each Level, it is only of +2%. Which is a HUGE difference... But I guess it is because he doesn’t have a Complete System, and his System is “Lesser” so special bonuses are smaller. At Level 10 he’ll only get +20% enhancement to his Skills, but his skills are still inherently very strong compared to what I got, and with my Mana, he can constantly use them while using magic too.

“Finally time to level up, huh?” Wondered Ignatius. All my Spirits spoke to me through Telepathy, so nobody ever heard them when they speak to me. I also spoke to them through telepathy back thanks to the basic Connection between Familiars and Contractors.

“Foo! Foo!” Naturia agreed with Ignatius, although she couldn’t level up as of now... yet. Alice told me that a new Seed could be generated if I earned around 100k EXP, and such EXP requirements to create a Lesser System Seed increase with each seed Created too, but I take what I can.

We first need to see how much EXP the monsters here can give. I remember Demon Lords giving hundreds of thousands of EXP, and the goblins we fought, the weakest gave around 500, while the Champions, usually between 2000 to 3000. Maybe... well, I cannot really remember these things very well.

As we walked through a corridor, we suddenly saw a few shadows moving near the stairs that led to Floor 2. My father told us to remain silent so we wouldn’t alert the monsters, and that he was using powerful stealth magic so he wouldn’t be detected and end up scaring to death the monsters. He agreed that he would remain as a guardian and would only look at us fight, only helping if it we were at the verge of dying. He even said he wouldn’t help us even if we were in a pinch or getting wasted. Perhaps this was part of his training regime as a merc.

Aquarina pointed at the shadows moving near the other corridor’s side, as I nodded and decided to walk there myself, shrouding my body with the [Stealth] Spell and the Tier 2 Shadow Attribute Spell named [Shadow Veil], I was able to slightly become more unnoticeable in this dark area. My two friends also used this effective and newbie-friendly combination of magic, as we made our way towards the shadows.

And what we found was a large pack of [Mega Rats], enormous Rats, at least two meters tall in size covered in black fur who possessed incredibly sharp incisor teeth and crimson red eyes. The pointy tails they had also had a lethal venom, so it was recommended to not let them hurt us with their tails. Their claws are filled with infections as well, and their tooth are quite lethal, easily able to pierce through leather armor.

The group of five Mega Rats were devouring the corpse of a Rogue Goblin that was unfortunate enough to be caught in their vicious jaws. The creatures were dissecting it slowly and savoring each piece. They seemed to be hungry but didn’t ate desperately.

As we drew closer, one of the rats suddenly noticed something, twitching its ears. It slowly looked behind its body, looking directly at us, who were hiding in the shadows. It stopped for a bit, but then, it quickly continued eating.

Drawing closer, I held my sword and with the help of Ignatius flames, I enchanted it, covering it in blazing dragon flames and jumping in an instant!

CLASH!

My blazing sword pierced the back of that very rat, as it screeched in agony.

“SCREEECH...!”

The rat gave out an ear-tearing cry as Ignatius emerged right behind me to finish the creature off. Using the [Baby Dragon Fire Breath] Skill and burning the rest of the rat’s body. The creature struggled, swinging its tail, but the wounds were too severe and it quickly dropped dead in the floor while still on flames.

Ding!

[You earned 400 EXP]

[Ignatius] earned 560 EXP]

Oooh! We got a good amount of EXP! 400 EXP is not bad for some giant Rats, and Ignatius got even more than me?! Oh, is this the Spirit Blessing buff plus his own Buffs in his Skills? So he gets a +40% more EXP, with this, we need to kill another rat and level him up!
