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



-----

"So the "burden" in the soul due to Familiars is based in their total Mana capacity?" I wondered.

"Yep, the more Mana a Familiar has, the more burden they put into the user's body." Said Alice. "Familiars that are Weapons imbued with a System Soul seem to take little space as well, so you could have many more."

"Interesting…" I said while checking on Nephi's Stats and Skills. "I guess these stats are fitting for someone at your current Rank, you were also able to obliterate those overpowered golems, so having these stats as the bare minimum makes sense."

"I am glad you find my Status acceptable, Sylphy." Nephilim seemed happy, as she continued looking around her own status, amazed by the System. "I have a question."

"Yeah?" I wondered.

"Are my abilities measured in here? All of them? Are these my Skills?" She asked.

"Not all of them, you can still have many abilities not measured through the skills themselves. Skills are more like an extra power you've got, which might work well with your natural powers if they're related to them." I explained. "Like my [Ember] Skill at max level, it is amazing and helps me conjure fire without needing to make a magic circle. I can combine it with actual Fire Magic to generate an even stronger effect. Get it?"

"I do understand a bit more now." Nephi nodded. "If I constantly practice them, they can "Level Up", no?"

"Yep, they can." I nodded. "Though, please, don't practice them in here… it might be dangerous."

"I understand. I shall practice them in a place where I cannot harm anybody by using them." She quickly nodded mechanically.

"How about going into my soul scape for that?" I asked.

"It does sound appealing but I think I will pass. I shall try to do it outside, somewhere." She said.

"Well, it is up to you." It felt slightly weird she didn't wanted to do it inside my soul scape.

"I fear that if I do it inside Sylphy's soul scape, your soul might end up being hurt…" She sighed.

"Eh? Oh… but that shouldn't be a thing, the other familiars practice all the time and they don't…" I muttered.

"But this power I hold… It is different." Nephilim sighed. "It was crafted especially to hurt souls, I am… I've always have been slightly afraid of my own powers."

"Nephi… Don't worry." I sighed. "We'll help you train and slowly master them."

"Young Lady… Thank you." Nephi seemed slightly moved.

"Also I can use those Skills now by channeling your power as my Familiar! Well, some of them only. But it means I could actually use Heavenly and Demon Magic eventually, hehe." I giggled greedily. "Which means that I can't let you have them at a low level, you're going to grind them until they level up a lot!"

"I-I see…" Nephilim's impression of me suddenly seemed to get a bit lower.

"W-What with that stare?" I wondered.

"Nothing young lady." Nephi smiled back. "Are you going to make the accessories for Saphira?"

"I was just about to get to that!" I nodded.

"I'm back! Sylphy, let's get this chore over so we can go out~" Aquarina entered the room. "Huh? Why are you two so close?"

Aquarina squinted her eyes for a bit…

"N-Nothing!" I said. "So anyways, yeah! Let's get this done with."

Like that, we quickly began creating the accessories we wanted to give to Saphira and the rest of her family of Aquatic Anima, or Mermen as their tribe is named. 

The Aqua Rings recipe was already inside my head, so it was nothing hard to create. To facilitate their creation, I decided to shape and change the form of the mithril we acquired in our journey into the rings which would become the base. Then we would make the Aqua Crystal, a condensed form of Water Attribute Magic and Spirit energy using the various other materials we had, and then we would combine both into the Aqua Rings.

"[Extraction]! [Metamorphosis]!"

I quickly utilized these two abilities within the Alchemy Skill to extract the pure mithril from the ore pieces we got, leaving all impurities behind and then condensing them together into liquid masses which I then placed inside the molds I had previously made.

My mastery over Metamorphosis wasn't perfect yet, so the ring shapes I would had made on my own would had looked terrible, most likely, this is why I just placed them in previous made molds we purchased at the local smith.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

"How many Mermen are in the city?" I wondered.

"The community is quite large, it is one big family, probably over thirty." Said Aquarina.

"Well, let's make fifty just because there's enough for it. We mostly emptied the Boss Room from Mithril anyways, we've got for the rest of our lives now, hehe." I giggled, shaping the Mithril over and over again.

Eventually, it was finally over, after an arduous hour. Aquarina also helped me at keeping them on place and shaping them, refining the details by herself. Nephi only watched in awe.

F L A A A S H!

Ding!

[You've created [Pure Mithril Ring (C Grade)] x50!]

[You've gained +2500 Alchemy Skill Proficiency!]

[The [Alchemy: Lv5] Skill Level has increased to Level 6!]

"And it's finally done!" I sighed in relief.

"T-That's a big pile of mithril rings. Even as they are, we could make a fortune by selling these! Mithril can natural protect the wielder from magic damage, even a ring would be able to help a lot." Aquarina said.

"Yeah, but I am not really interested in selling these. And I am not sure the Mermen would be able to afford to buy them all either. It is just a gift." I said. "Well, let's call it an investment."

"Then let's make the Aqua Crystals now! I can help making them using my magic." Aquarina was excited.

"Alright, let's get this done as well!"
