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

-----

The entrance to the Evergreen Forest was filled with vegetation. Not only just normal trees but there was a variety of colorful plants growing every day in here. The amount of Mana and Spiritual Energy in this forest enhanced the growth speed of materials several times over. Medicinal Herbs, Edible Mushrooms, Delicious Berries, and more popped up all the time.

But there was also a lot of Poisonous Stuff. Poisonous Mushrooms, Paralyzing Mushrooms, Rage Mushrooms, Bleeding Inducing Herb, Scratchy Herb, and more. And that's without even talking about the insane amount of insects roaming everywhere in here, it was quite an insane habitat for all sorts of critters.

As we wandered inside the forest, I activated my Alchemist Subclass and my Alchemy Skill. Alongside that, I activated the power of Heavenly Eyes to detect the spots I wanted to see in an instant.

F L A A A S H!

As we were midway through towards the Emerald Path, I saw several icons floating in the middle of my vision, all across the forest. The Medicinal Herbs had a green-colored leaf icon, while Mushrooms had a brown-colored mushroom icon. Lastly, poisons had a purple skull icon.

"Ooh, I can see them! Wait a bit guys, I'm gonna pick up some stuff!" I said, rushing out rapidly.

"Eh? Where are you going Sylphy?!" Asked Aquarina.

"I found a bunch of useful herbs! As a fellow Alchemist you should get interested too." I said.

"O-Oh!" Aquarina quickly followed me from behind as she held into the Dimensional Bag while I picked up stuff.

"Ooh, Delphiro Herbs!"

Delphiro Herbs had the shape of a normal growing plant, but the end of their green leaves was sharp red in color. Many would think this was due to being poisonous, but they were actually high-quality medicinal herbs.

If used for alchemy I could get some good potions, and they can definitely be some food materials for the Elixir for Saphaley. I quickly grabbed them as well as other herbs, one that had beautiful flowers resembling dancing dolls, another herb that was completely blue with leaves resembling tiny transparent blue jewels, and then mushrooms of all kinds, mostly the edible ones.

[Delphiro Herb (E G r a d e)]

A Medicinal Herb whose leaves have pointy red ends. It is very similar to Poisonous Herbs and uses this mimicry to protect itself from herbivores, however, it is high quality medicinal herb with richer healer properties.

[Red Maiden Flower (E Grade)]

A Flower with the shape of a red maiden dancing. It is enchanted with fire attribute but it has strong healing properties as well, and if processed correctly, can create potions that enchant fire attribute magic damage and resistance to fire.

-----

[Sapphire Herb (D Grade)]

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ A blue herb with leaves resembling sapphires. It is extremely rare and contains great medicinal and healing properties. If processed correctly, can create potions that enchant water and ice attribute magic damage and resistance to water and ice.

FLASH!

Suddenly, when I picked one of the herbs, it began glowing bright gold. And this happened more and more with each little herb I picked up, well, sometimes, but very commonly.

Ding!

[The [Red Maiden Flower (E Grade)] Herb has increased its Grade from E to D Grade!]

[The [Delphiro Herb (E Grade)] Herb has increased its Grade from E to D Grade!]

[The [Red Maiden Flower (E Grade)] Herb has increased its Grade from E to D Grade!]

[The [Delphiro Herb (E Grade)] Herb has increased its Grade from E to D Grade!]

[The [Red Raging Mushroom (F Grade)] Mushroom has increased its Grade from F to E Grade!]

[The [Paralyzing Mushroom (F Grade)] Mushroom has increased its Grade from F to E Grade!]

"Woow! So many of the thing are glowing brightly!" Aquarina was surprised. "How do you do this?"

"It is a part of my Abilities as an Alchemist! A little Talent I have, ufufu…" I giggled while puffing my chest as Aquarina praised me.

"Eeehh~? I've always wondered what these strange powers you have sometimes are…" Said Aquarina. "They're too far from just mere talents and magic… Wouldn't it be enough time to tell me?"

"W-Well… I do plan to tell you, eventually…" I said while averting my gaze.

"Huh…" Aquarina narrowed her eyes. "Well! It is up to you…"

Aquarina quickly got closer to me and gave me a kiss in my cheek.

Uwah, she's a bit too forgiving of all my secrets to be honest…

If she's going to really become my… my lover and all as the years go by, I should really tell her these secrets and eventually also share a System Seed with her. I want her to grow stronger with this power too.

"Let's go back to Furoh and the rest then!"

"Y-Yeah, right!"

We walked back to Furoh with our bag filled with new ingredients, as we quickly delved deeper into the dungeon.

"What were you two girls doing alone, huh~?" Celeste began wondering with a provocative smile. "Were you kissing around?"

"K-Kissing?!" I asked. "N-No…"

"Yeah why would we… do that." Aquarina said while blushing.

Damn it Aquarina, you're too obvious there!

"Kissing? Ah! Zack, can I give you a kiss?" Wondered Mist while hugging the back of Zack.

"Eh?!" Zack felt rather shocked. "Maybe… another time."

Aside from the way her jaws would open vertically from the nose up sometimes, she really looked like an adorable girl to be honest. Zack can't hide it; I can tell he's kind of having a crush with Mist. I think these two could end as a nice and cute couple in the future.

Though the problem is Zack being overly reserved! He's too shy with everything so Mist has a hard time getting to his softer side. Though through these last years, she has done a pretty good job at not giving him up.

"Here we are, the Emerald Path!"
