Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?-Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Time Passes Way Too Quickly When You’re A Baby

—– 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Time quickly went by and well, three years have passed since then. I had just celebrated my fourth birthday, and well, quite surprisingly, not much has happened since the first week I went to see Aquarina.

The attacks from Demon King remnants stopped during those three years. Also, aside from wild beasts or monsters sometimes coming near the house, there hasn’t been any large threats. All in all, I’ve been living a pretty peaceful life as a baby.

Of course, this baby likes to work extra hard, so I’ve also been trying my best to grow stronger as much as I could. If you think about it, practicing magic and doing exercises for three years is a lot!

Or is it?

Well, I mean, I’ve grown stronger than before, that’s true. But even then, I can’t really become overpowered by just getting 3 years older.

I can start seeing some more strength as I mature into my teens and adulthood, but for that, I’ll have to wait for a long while.

.....

Nevertheless, I’ve been practicing Mana Usage religiously as much as I possibly could each day.

On top of that, I have also been nourishing my Mana Veins that I had awakened by touching the Spirit Stone during all this time. Surprisingly, it helped out in strengthening my baby body.

It seems that I can apparently enhance my physical capabilities as long as I infuse mana into my Mana Veins. Well, if I were to be more specific, it enhances my metabolism, muscle flexibility, blood flow speed, mental acuity, breathing, senses, and so much. I can also increase my stamina if I infuse mana into my Mana Veins, basically extending the time I have before I collapse in exhaustion.

Then again, having endless mana is a pain in itself. If I infuse too much mana into my Mana Veins, they begin to hurt a lot. With that in mind, if I don’t properly control the flow to be small and make it move like a raging river, my Mana Veins might even burst. Worst-case scenario, I might even die from it as my body explodes, like a balloon that has too much air in it.

I might have infinite mana, but can a body take infinite energy? Naturally, there’s a limit. Due to this, I’ll always get tired when I overuse it, and if I keep pushing myself, I might end up killing myself.

Wait a minute... I also have infinite health, right? But now that I think about it, it might not work as I’d imagine it. I don’t think I have enough regeneration to be able to burst myself into pieces and be okay with it. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

Even if I survive the explosion, I’ll stay in the form of chunks and horrify my parents, which I don’t want to.

Maybe I’ll be able to heal to my previous state after blowing up into chunks? In any case, that’s something I’ll think about for later. For now, I don’t want that, thank you very much.

Moving the talk of regeneration aside, I can still abuse the fact that I have infinite health. If I use my infinite health to enhance my resistance to this pain that appears when I overexert my Mana Veins, it might be possible to extend the time I can go “all-out” through the enhancement of my body.

Unfortunately, I could only last in that state for around half an hour before I collapse. After that, I’d require at least four to six hours of resting before even trying to use mana again...

Of course, if I could form a contract with some more familiars, it would be possible for me to improve my Soul Stamina and even my body’s stamina to even higher levels. Sadly, as of now, even after three years, I haven’t gotten any luck and haven’t found any spirit that wanted to be my friend, only Naturia. Of course, Yggdra has been getting bigger and bigger, but she has been mostly sleeping. Though, I do have hopes that she might create a new spirit someday.

The only thing she has made so far are delicious apples which I eat everyday... oh right, I thought about mass producing Magic Trees by growing more Eden Apples, but my parents stopped me. They told me I would be insulting nature if I overused my ability. My mother, as an elf, was pretty religious over not abusing my Nature magic to oversaturate the place with overpowered Magic Trees and farm spirits out of them.

I mean, I get it, fine... but when I’m free from their grasp and explore the world, I’ll go planting whatever and wherever I want!

I’ll become the hope of the world as I plant delicious magic fruit and vegetables all throughout the world... oh, that actually sounds like a fun way to travel the world, I guess.

But I also want to be an adventurer, if possible...

Anyways, I’ve also been practicing my Fire magic all these years, improving the speed in which I can conjure Ember rapidly. Now, I can easily conjure it over 100 times in just some seconds, enough to form the “basic” spells such as Fire Whip, Fireball, and Fire Wall.

I’ve been forming a system out of my own magic abilities. 100 Embers make up these “basic” fire spells that I can use, but there are also “advanced” spells that take way more Embers.

There’s Flame Vortex, a spiraling storm of flames that cover a wide area, which requires a whopping 500 Embers, this one usually takes a long time to conjure. Without someone covering my back in a life-or-death battle, I wouldn’t be able to properly conjure it. After all, the stronger beings get, the faster they come...

But of course, there’s more. There are spells I’ve made such as Flame Burst, an enormous explosion of flames that can even take down Wild Boar Emperors, massive 5-meter-tall boars, in a single hit. However, these take a minute to conjure as I require over 1000 Embers to form them.

Naturally, there are also spells that are in between those amounts, such as Fire Spear, Fire Blade, and Fire Arrow, which range from 200 to 500 Embers...

However, since then, I haven’t been able to enhance the power of my spells as much. This is due to a factor my mother has revealed to me in my fourth birthday.

“I suppose it’s finally time to introduce you to the world of magicians and sorcerers, Sylphy... it’s time for you to finally open up your Magic Circle!”
