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

-----

"Hmph… So you're back, my youngest daughter." The King said. "Have you finally come back from that little mission to defeat the Demon King?"

"Hello father." Mother said with a graceful bow. "I have come back indeed. The battle was arduous, but victory was assured."

"Good." The King said. "Now, present to me these people with you."

"This is my husband, Allan, the Hero of Blazing Blade, he's the strongest human alive." My mother said.

"The strongest human alive you say?" The King narrowed his eyes. "That's a rather arrogant title…"

"Nice to meet you sir." My father acted according to the script my mother prepared, bowing down respectfully to the King.

The King nodded as if approving of him.

"This is my oldest daughter, Sylph. She's a magic prodigy." My mother presented me right after father.

I bowed and kneeled like mother and father did, although the feeling of doing so was terrible.

"Nice to meet you grandfather." I said.

"Hmmm…"

The King suddenly stopped paying attention to anybody else and directed his gaze at me.

The pressure of his eyes felt overwhelming.

It was as if an enormous mountain was trying to crush me.

His eyes opened wide, as he raised his eyebrows, his lower jaw suddenly dropped wide open. The entire royal family noticed what grandfather did, and then gave me a second look. Many suddenly "realized" something, whatever it was.

"Incredible…" The King started to laugh. "Hahaha… HAHAHAH! Amazing!"

Everyone looked at the King, sweating bullets.

"In all my years, I've never seen such a monster! In all my years! In all my life!" He proclaimed. "I've never seen something so… unfathomable! Such endless… Mana! I cannot even see the end! Just… this girl alone… SYLPH!"

"Y-Yes?" I asked, looking in fear at my grandfather.

"What is your desire?" He asked.

"Desire?" I asked. "Sorry grandfather, but why… are you asking this?"

"It is the thing I need to know before deciding if I must kill you right now or let you live."

His words were so cold it froze my very heart.

Are you seriously telling that to your granddaughter, you damn old man?!

"Father?!" My mother asked in fury.

"What is the meaning of this?" My father asked angrily.

Suddenly, several guards pointed their spears and blades at my parents, and then the royal family members conjured magic circles, pointing them all at us.

"Answer me, my granddaughter."

My grandfather looked down at me as I felt his enormous pressure diminishing my will.

"Why are you asking this, father?!"

Aunt Aina asked, and so did my mother right after.

"Why?" Grandfather asked. "Because I must know her intentions. Such an unfathomable power cannot be left to thrive if it has bad intentions. I have not managed to maintain my country for so long without being ruthless, even to my own family if necessary. This girl holds endless mana within her own soul. She has such incredible power that she could end everything if she grows strong enough… To stop that, I must slay her now. However, if she's my granddaughter, then there's a second option. Now, Sylph. Tell me your desire."

His eyes shone brightly. Whatever power he had, he probably can easily read if I am saying the truth or not…

"My desire…"

What is even my desire?

Maybe… I want to explore the world.

But I also want to live peacefully…

However, at the same time, I want to have adventures with my friends, and know many people.

"I want… to learn, explore the world, and live peacefully." I declared.

My grandfather's eyes shone bright gold, as he narrowed his eyes.

He smiled afterwards.

"What a pure heart. I apologize." He sighed. "I apologize for thinking that you held bad intentions. I am… a rusty old man."

The moment he smiled, his entire nature changed, his aura changed, everything changed. The entire royal family sighed in relief, and the guards lowered their weapons.

"What…?" My mother asked in confusion.

"You daughter holds incredible and unfathomable power, Faylen. Yet she has yet to make it mature. Her intentions are pure and so is her heart. You've raised her well, my daughter." The King said.

"Yes…" My mother sighed.

However, she suddenly mustered strength and hugged me, putting herself in front of me, as if protecting me.

"However, I cannot simply forgive you for threatening my daughter." My mother said. "You really think I am as weak as I used to be, father? If you ever wanted to kill her, you would have to get her over my damn corpse."

"Hmph…" The King smiled. "I already told you I am sorry. Fine, I will give you anything you want as compensation. I was already planning on gifting you something, so two gifts it is. Now Faylen, tell me what you want."

My mother sighed.

"At least let me introduce you to my second child, this is Zephyrus. I hope you don't threaten him to death either." I sighed.

"Bwahh! Bwuhh…" Zephy began making baby noises.

The King sighed.

"It is indeed a beautiful baby." He said. "And those others, who are they?"

Like that, Shade and Nepheline made themselves known. Arafunn appeared right at the side of the King in a gust of wind, surprising the rest of the people after them.

"Hello big brother."

"Arafunn, I knew you were hiding; do you think you can surprise me?"

The King and Arafunn were siblings.

"Hahaha, come on, will you ever change that face you've got?" Arafunn sighed.

"This is the face I was born with." Grandfather sighed. "I am glad you're back. Are you done running away?"

"Maybe." Uncle Arafunn laughed.

"A-And I am Aquarina…"

The king quickly directed his gaze to Aquarina, whom he had ignored.

"Another Hero, the son of two as well… I see. You're a valuable ally. Make sure to grow strong." Said the King.

"Y-Yes…!" Aquarina bowed her head nervously. I guess even her was too scared to confront the King for what he threanted me for.

"Now, my daughter. You have two wishes." The King said. "Choose them wisely."

"Then, first of all, I want my own independent territory." Mother said.

"Very well." The King nodded.

The entire audience suddenly grew restless.

"But my King! How can you give her a piece of the country?!"

"She's the youngest!"

"She hasn't done a single thing and is penniless too…"

"Is it really okay to give her two wishes?!"

The king glared at his children; his very gaze pierced their souls.

"Silence. She has accomplished more than all of you petulant children."

And they shut up.

Mother continued talking after that.

"And my second wish is…"
