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

—–

“The more Spirits we make contracts with, the stronger our connection with the Spiritual Plane is supposed to become…” My mother said. “But not even we have been able to access it, and I have yet to find records of other mortals entering it either, so it is truly a mystery. Lara is the first ever Saintess of Spirits.”

“Lara is one of a kind.” Arafunn nodded at the distance, as he finished cutting down some onions and garlic, which he quickly started to fry with some olive oil. “I wonder how much she’ll develop in the future~”

“She’s truly quite unique.” Shade agreed, who was grilling burgers. “Back then, there had only been Saints of Holy Light before, Saints and Saintess, the role is not always for females either.”

“Heheh, you’re making me blush.” Lara giggled innocently.

“Indeed.” My mother nodded. “But there was never the instance for a Saintess of Spirits before.”

“I think this is because our Gods and the Spirits aren’t related originally, no?” Nepheline asked. “After all, the Gods arrived from the stars, and once they did, this world already had life of its own. The spirits were one of them… That there is a Saintess of Spirits means the Gods have reached some sort of deal with the Spirit King and the Spirit Queen.”

Spirit King? Spirit Queen?” Asked Aquarina. “Who are those guys? Don’t you have contracts with them?”

“Oh no, our Kings or Queens are the rulers of their respective elements.” Shade said. “And even now, it is dangerous to borrow their power regularly, we can’t take it all.”

“Indeed.” My father nodded. “Ifrit always almost kills me wherever I channel his power, hahahaha!”

“It is not a laughing matter…” My mother facepalmed. “Well, to sum it up, the King and Queen we refer to are the supreme rulers of the Spiritual Plane, and the father and mother of all Spirits. They are the rulers of the Spiritual Source, a legendary place said to be an endless lake of rainbow liquified spiritual essence, which flows endlessly into our world. A pillar for all elements to be stable, and for nature to flourish.”

“Woah…”

We were left amazed by such vivid descriptions. Imagining such a mystical place was incredible, if we could ever visit it, I don’t know what we would even do there other than sightsee.

“The King and Queen have names…” Uncle Arafunn said. “The King is usually referred as the Divine Spirit King of Plenty, Freyr. And the Queen is usually referred as the Divine Spirit Queen of Protection, Freyja.”

“Those are most likely the blessings you have.” Nepheline told to Lara. “Don’t you?”

“I-I think so…” Lara nodded.

Remembering her Status, she did have two blessings with those names… To be blessed by those truly magical beings is amazing.

They feel much more special than the Gods, which have been giving blessings for eons now… Meanwhile, Freyr and Freyja were so picky they took thousands of years to finally find someone, Lara.

“I wish I could talk to them one day!” Lara said happily. “I wonder if they’re nice!”

“Maybe.” My mother said. “Nobody has ever spoken to them, but Spirits have revealed their names to us elves. They are usually one of the major Gods for Fairies, in my mother’s nation, there are gigantic temples that are made as holy grounds for both Spirit Rulers… It is said that Fairies are the closest mortals to the Spiritual Plane. But to think the Saintess of Spirits would end up being an Anima, it is truly ironic. I bet they must be quite angry once the news got to them some time ago.”

“I think that’s because the Fairy Queendom has grown too selfish lately.” Shade said. “Perhaps the Spirit Rulers disliked how they were trying to claim as the only ones capable of communicating with them… And also, if you think about it, Anima is much more connected with nature than Fairies. Their Mana and Ki are entwined together and connected to the Energy of the Land.” freeωebnovēl.c૦m

“The what?” Luck was confused. “We are?!”

“Indeed.” My mother nodded. “Anima people are naturally connected with the Energy of the Land. I don’t the exact reason though. But it is an inherit trait you possess. This is also the reason why they have such unique magic. We’ve meet Anima Tribes with special types of Magic and Powers, such as Totem Magic, and so on.”

“In a way, the Skin Changer’s unique magic might have derived from Ancient Anima Tribes.” Said Ninhursag.

“Amazing…” Zack said. “I like how everything is always somewhat connected…”

“To think we have such an innate ability, I had no idea.” Said Luck. “Maybe that’s why you were chosen as a Saintess of Spirits then, Lara.”

“Maybe?” Lara smiled; she was being swarmed by spirits at all times.

She left them walk over her all the time, and sometimes they would even stand over her food. They were not malicious or anything, but she really had a god-like patience with them.

The food was almost ready anyways, and after we had that big conversation about spirits and stuff, we went back to the ruins and what we found out.

While we were eating delicious fried fish, grilled fish, and fish croquets, we talked about our experiences today.

“Perhaps the reason why the ruins blew up is due to that experiment they were doing…” My father said. “Maybe because they were trying too hard to create Sunstone, and ended sacrificing so many souls, the result was too overwhelming in energy, and even those ruins ended exploding.”

“Maybe…” Shade said. “But there’s also another possibility, perhaps they finished their weapon, and… It turned against them. The Gods had to flee after that.”

“A Weapon that made even the Gods escape?” My mother asked. “Wouldn’t that be too much for us to handle then? Also if that was true, then maybe it could had done more damage, but I think it has been rather peaceful until recently.”

“Gods tend to play with life and once their experiments fail, they simply move on and leave everything abandoned…” I sighed. “The same thing happened with the Fishman King Dungeon…”

“I suppose it is up to you go to help those poor souls then!” Aquarina said. “Right?”

“Yeah, I suppose there’s no helping it.” I nodded.
