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

-----

"Yeah, he has been most likely… convinced by the Cults of Evil Gods who aim to eradicate all non-demon kin, with the pretext that they would do so to protect themselves." My father said. "And of course, the one bastard that's making the Dungeon Breaks possible is nobody else than the Evil God of Dungeons."

The Evil God of Dungeons… Not even the strongest heroes in the world can fight him nor find him. He's an entity far beyond any mortal. Yet if I'm aiming to one day slay the gods, he's probably going to be the first ones to go down.

Well, but this is more like just wishful thinking for the moment. Not like I could ever achieve this any time soon, and even if the possibility might slowly arise, I cannot grasp it yet.

But surely… one day…

"Anyways, we've explained mostly everything now." Shade sighed. "Are you content with this truth, Sylph?"

"I… Well, I can't say I am happy, but it is better to know than not." I sighed. "And I kind of agree with your decision, Shade."

"Decision?" He asked.

"How you said that even if he was your friend, you shouldn't overlook the things he has done now." I said with a smile.

My parents gave me a worried glance, as Shade smirked a bit.

"However…" I said. "I still think that at least… a last chance should be given. If you all can one day manage to catch him and beat the heck out of him until he can't move anymore. I think that would be a good chance to at least… make him change his mind. So when you finish him off, there won't be any regrets in your minds."

My parents looked at me in surprise, and Shade as well, in fact, everyone here.

"Oh my, I never thought such words could come out of the mouth of a thirteen-year-old girl." Arafunn said. "Though I cannot agree with them completely, I can find some truth in them."

"Hmph, I hadn't put much thought to it." Shade sighed. "Gray is someone so strong I doubt we'll ever get to that point without dying ourselves… But I'll put thought into that."

"Haha, don't be so pessimistic, Shade! Maybe she's right…" My father agreed with me. "I like to believe in my daughter, sometimes she says things that really enlighten me."

"Heh, I guess she at least managed to make some of us smile a bit." My mother laughed a bit. "Nonetheless, it would be better to leave this topic for later, we can't just bring this bitter topic in our breakfast… Let's thank the spirits that we've managed to survive, and that there were no casualties. We get to see another day together, and we get to continue living together. Let's appreciate these things as well, and let's smile, even if only a bit."

"Indeed, please listen to Faylen." Nepheline sighed.

"Haahhh… I am just exhausted." Shade sighed, sipping some tea.

"Here, uncle, have some of this!" I said, giving him a piece of strawberry cheesecake. "Sweets always are good for the nerves."

"Hm…" Shade seemed about to reject it, but then gave it a second thought and accepted. "Thank you, Sylphy. You're a sweet girl. You're perhaps the only person I could ever entrust my daughter to. If something ever happens to me, or Nepheline, please, take care of her."

"E-Eh? Are you killing me out of the blue, idiot?!" Nepheline asked angrily. "Hahah! Just ignore him!"

"He likes being melodramatic." My father said.

"I-I am being serious here!" Shade said while feeling slightly annoyed, but he began eating the cheesecake and relaxed quite a bit.

He had a sweet tooth, Aquarina revealed me this truth some time ago.

"Honestly I don't want to have anything to do with fighting or anything for the next… Let's say, a hundred years or so? I am SO tired! Gray's not someone I want to fight ever again…" Arafunn sighed. "I need a vacation in the beach… Some nice whisky, and maybe a few handsome men around to brighten my day."

"Hahaha, you never change." Laughed Ninhursag. "Can't say I wouldn't like the same…"

"Oh? Don't tell me you're finally thinking about finding yourself a man!" Nepheline said in surprise. "There's tons of strong Amazon Men waiting for a beautiful and strong wife in town! I could recommend you a lot of my brothers… or sisters!"

Ninhursag suddenly grew red in embarrassment.

"I-I take it back…" She sighed. "Just forget it!"

"I'm not forgetting it!" Laughed Nepheline. "I want you to have a kid too, so you can give Zack a little sibling!"

"S-Stop it!" Ninhursag covered her face in embarrassment. "I-If I ever find the one, I'll choose him myself…"

"For being a forest-dwelling warrior she really gets as embarrassed as a delicate young lady, haha." My mother joked around.

"F-Faylen!" Ninhursag complained.

"Well! Anyways, when are we going to go look for the other heroes in this continent?" I asked. "We should hurry before they get snatched away…"

"Ah yeah, once we get this done and we safely send your grandmother back home, we'll get going. So maybe in a few more days." My father said. "We'll mostly fly, so we'll find those kids quickly as long as you lead us using your eyes, Sylphy."

"I'll do my best!" I nodded.

I also am fearing that we could encounter more of Arachne's lackeys, or the spider herself. In that case, we'll have to go all-out once more… Honestly, I am quite afraid of going to these wild lands, but also excited, and somehow looking forward to it.

I guess it is a weird mix of emotions, but it is something we have to do as urgently as possible. Lara and Luck are out there, afraid, being persecuted most likely, and in serious need of some friends and shelter.

"See? I told you it was going to be alright." Alice said at my side, eating her second chocolate cake slice. Her small tummy was rather big now.

"I guess so." I giggled, poking her belly. "But I think someone here needs to calm down with the pastries…"

"Geez! I'm just having a little snack, that's all." Alice sighed.
