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



-----

The entire meal took us a bit over twenty minutes to finish, mostly because we were enjoying ourselves way too much. When we finally finished, we were all satisfied, even my belly grew a bit bigger because I ate too much… But we couldn't help it, there's nothing better than a nice meal after working so hard.

"Hahh… My Mana has recovered rather quickly." Nephi said. "The last fight against this crab ended emptying most of my Mana…"

"Eh?! Why didn't you told me that?" I asked her.

"Sorry, I didn't want to bother Lady Sylphy…" Sighed Nephi. "You've used your Mana so much already, wouldn't it be bothersome if you used it even more with me?"

"What are you talking about? I would happily do so! I've got plenty of Mana, don't worry. In fact, it pretty much never runs out. Everyone knows this, hasn't my parents told you?" I asked her.

"Err… well, not really…" She sighed. "I am worried as well, wouldn't it hurt you to give me more Mana?"

"Don't worry about it, a little amount of pain is nothing anyways." I smiled back, touching her shoulder and infusing my Mana into her, refilling her Mana Core in an instant.

FLAAASH!

"Ahhh… This endlessly flowing Mana… It is just like the first time we meet." Nephi sighed. "Thank you, Young lady."

"Don't worry about it, if you ever need more just ask me." I smiled back.

However, I quickly sensed an ominous presence… Aquarina was staring at the two of us with her eyes glowing red… she had an ominous, shadow aura coming from her body as well.

"You two are pretty close… And so fast since you meet…" She started saying.

"H-Hey, Aquarina… I think you're misunderstanding something…" I sighed.

"I-I am not… I haven't said anything…" Aquarina looked elsewhere, pretending that she wasn't  annoyed or something.

"Did I said something wrong?" Nephi seemed worried.

"Don't worry about her, she's a bit grumpy." I sighed. "Anyways everyone, we should get going, onwards to Floor 2!"

"Alright!"

Like that, we packed all our things and we made our way to Floor 2. At the same time, I quickly began feeding stuff to Scarlet to see what works and what not.

I tried giving her another Fire Spirit Stone, Water Spirit Stone, and then Golem Cores, the Golem Stones, Corals, and even the metal the tridents were made of.

[Sea Blade: Lv1]

By imbuing Mana into the Sword, powerful oceanic water of incredible potency will emerge, which become stronger based in the current Water and Ice Element Runes of the wielder's Magic Circle. This water can be controlled and unleashed in a series of different attacks and techniques, which will deal an additional +60% More Damage, with an additional +20% with each Skill Level. When imbued with an element, the Water can change into different types of Water.

Oh, a Water Element version of the Blazing Sword Skill! Nice, that trident seemed pretty powerful, but it seems only one was enough for her… Even then, she got a Skill that wasn't even compatible with her. Nonetheless, she got tons of bonus stats. I think she might have the highest amount of stats compared to everyone else…

But she's the sword I always use, so that's for the better. Also her HP is pretty much her durability, it would be better if she's left with a large amount of that at all times, she might shatter into pieces if it reaches zero after all. The stronger she gets, the stronger my weapon becomes.

"Woah, you've been feeding your sword a ton of weird stuff, Sylphy! What's up with that?" Mist peeked over at what I was doing.

"As I said, my sword seems to have gotten… stranger. And hungrier too." I said while sighing. "I guess it got cursed or something, oops."

"It might be something related with it being cursed, yes." Said Celeste. "I heard it was made with True Demon Materials, right? Maybe it gained some sort of "natural" curse within."

"Yeah, let's leave it at that, I don't really have any idea. But it seems to gain power as it feeds on materials. I wonder if I can feed her equipment though…" I said while wondering that.

Come to think of it, this also reminds me of Cursed Equipment as a whole, that sort of equipment that has amazing benefits but terrible backlashes sometimes. I had considered how they wouldn't even affect me because poison cannot kill me, nor they can drain my MP or HP until I die, or anything of the sort.

Maybe I should begin gathering Cursed Equipment… I've heard it is sometimes found in Ruin Dungeons around the place, "failed" creations of the gods. This continent is quite famous for these pieces of equipment.

Perhaps I am the only person in this whole world that could put them into good use and not be affected by their terrifying side effects as much, if not at all… But for now, I should concentrate in the present.
