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

-----

There was a third evolution option for Furoh:

-----

[Shapeless Trickster]

[R a n k]: [C-]

A strange small being. No bigger than the size of a man, this monstrous being has no shape, resembling a mass of fleshy slime with eyes and tentacles. It prefers to live inside of dungeons, ambushing adventurers and devouring them. The more it devours strong prey, the stronger it can grow, even being able to imitate their skills and spells. It can eventually shapeshift into anything as it develops, gaining a part of what it shapeshifts into temporarily. Incredibly hard to discern and find out, very few had ever been slain less alone captured.

Additional Information: Fast Leveling and Develops quickly, specializes on shapeshifting and mimicry the most.

"And those are all three… What do you like?" I wondered, asking Furoh.

"Err…" Furoh looked around. He didn't liked any of them. "None, to be honest, none of them!"

"Ugh… We are never getting anywhere like this, Furoh."

"I am sorry…"

"You have to just pick something, come on…"

"I really don't want any of them but I guess… The worm one sounds strong."

"It is a trap though!"

"Trap?!"

Furoh was surprised, he really didn't get it, but I learned something from seeing the evolution options of Naturia and Ignatius so far… There are trap evolutions that cannot evolve any longer, those will ultimately inhibit growth, which is something very important.

Sometimes just taking the weakest evolution is for the best, as it has the greatest potential for growth after all. I told that to Furoh until he realized his mistake.

"Right… Then the last one?"

"Yeah, let's pick this one."

Ding!

[You have selected the [Shapeless Trickster] Evolution Option for [Furoh]!]

Instead of a flash of light emanating out of Furoh, he was encompassed in pure darkness, as he began to glow darker and darker, until he turned into the pure embodiment of darkness, a mass of endless shadows without a defined form that began to grow larger and larger, until it finally stopped. The darkness and shadows dissipated, revealing the figure of something resembling a slime made of flesh with multiple eyes and tentacles. Wow, that's crazy looking.

"Ugh, haven't I become even more grotesque now?" He sighed.

"Come on, you've got your charm as a monstrous creature." I said. "Well, and a demon of course."

"Well, I prefer to take a better form than that…" Sighed Furoh, as he quickly transformed into a Blue Slime similar to Pyuku. "Slimes are technically the same as I am but they're cute… I wish I was a slime."

"I guess I cannot deny a slime's cuteness but you're also cute in your own way…" I said, petting him. "Your assistance was of great help back in that battle, you did way too much in fact, without you I don't know if I could had managed to do what I did, so thanks a lot, Furoh.

"Ahahaha… It was nothing, I was just helping my contractor." Furoh seemed to be embarrassed.

"Well now, let's check what you've gotten. There are two very annoying spirits behind me waiting for their turn at getting a System…" I sighed.

Ah, his stats increased a lot didn't they? Not only that but he now has one thousand HP?! He's so tanky I can't even put it into words anymore… Well, and all three of his new Skills sound interesting, fitting of something named "Trickster".

-----

[Stealth: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/1000

A special ability that only very tricky monsters capable of melding with shadows can learn. It allows for the ability to hide from anything by covering themselves with a mantle of invisible Mana and making of the user's entire existence null to others. It only works as long as they're not found or detected, and immediately deactivates upon the usage of an attacking skill or spell. The hiding effect of stealth is enhanced by +20% with each Skill Level.

-----

[Illusion: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/1000

A Skill that only very tricky monsters can acquire, which allows for the creation of illusions through magic. Such Illusions can be manipulated to make fake things seem real, or to bring discomfort into the hearts of an opponent. It can also directly affect the mind and cause several status effects such as Confusion, Insanity, or Madness. Illusions can be melded with Stealth for better effects. The effect of illusions is enhanced by +20% with each Skill Level

-----

[Deception: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/1000

A Skill that only Shapeless Tricksters can learn. Passively increases the ability to deceive a foe. The more a foe is deceived by the user, the stronger the user will grow, with a boost to all stats of +15% with each Skill Level. Additionally, as long as the target falls into illusions, the illusions effects are enhanced by +50%.

Wow all these Skills scream "playing dirty" but I can't help but like them. They sound so great and interesting it left me slightly surprised. I guess they come perfectly well for someone like Furoh who can shapeshift and mimic stuff.

"Ugh these Skills sound strangely dangerous…" He sighed, worried about the stuff he shouldn't be really worry about at all.

"But they'll do their job just fine, you have to be nasty and play dirty if you want to survive in this world Furoh, you know this firsthand, right?" I asked.

"…Well yes." He sighed. "I will do my best in that regard."

"Now's my turn to shine, right? Right?!" Beelzebub quickly flew to my face and began to annoy me. He really wanted a System Seed. He was being quite annoying, but I guess it was understandable.
