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

?—–

Don’t let all those dragons swimming over the magma make you think it’s comfortable. Even with the blessing I have, which negates the damage I take from it, it still very annoying to swim through it. It is very heavy, and it feels like you’re swimming below a lot of molten cheese. It gets between your eyes, nose, ears, and fingers, and it is very suffocating, water in comparison feels just right, fresh, nice, very weightless. But magma is literally just melted stone, so the difference is very big.

“Oh, hi!”

I noticed the giant Red Dragon that was sleeping down here woke up once I swam down. It opened its gigantic, yellow-colored eyes, glancing at me in silence. It then closed them again and went back to sleep without doing anything else.

“I hope you don’t mind me taking some of your food.”

I quickly encompassed my Yggdragon Dual Aura into my fists, as I punched through the bedrock beneath the boiling magma. There were giant growths of red, yellow, black, and orange metals, which I smashed into bits and quickly grabbed with a “bag” made using my Aura, impervious to damage from magma too.

“This should do it…”

I swam back out, gasping for air. I still needed air to breathe, so being down there was certainly exhausting. Well, I also owe it to my physique and all, it allows me to easily hold my breath for longer periods of time.

“Phew, I’m back…”

Sphynxiette quickly picked me up and then lifted me up to her back. The bag of goodies was quickly washed by Aquarina and then stored inside of Glutton, whom I summoned from my Soul Scape.

“Alright, this should be more than enough- Ah!” I quickly noticed Aquarina hugging me from behind to cover me up.

“Sylphy your clothes burned! You’re all naked!” She laughed.

“E-Eh?! Ah shit…” I laughed a bit.

“Hahaha, don’t worry, Sylphy! We’ve seen each other naked before anyways.” Mist shrugged.

“Yeah we take baths together a lot.” Lara giggled. “Oh, yours are bigger now, huh?”

“W-What…? I don’t even notice these things, Lara!” I sighed, as I quickly wore a new pair of clothes.

Thankfully what burned was just a simple set of blue shorts and a white blouse. I just wore a comfortable white and blue dress for now because I had little time for anything else.

“Anyways, let’s go back!”

With this done, we moved outside of the Dungeon. Our parents and friends managed to gather a huge sample of materials, which we made Sphynxiette taste their properties. This was a slow process, but her friends were hanging out just fine for now. Though we still felt like we had to hurry. In between meals, we tested each property of each metal, making up a list and writing down their specific effects on Sphynxiette.

“I see, so among the materials that have beneficial and healing properties, there’s only a few. But I think we can work around with this.” She nodded. “First of all, we’ll use the Yellow Sunstone as the core of this Elixir. Then we’ll add the Red Dragon Ore for a boost to their stamina and vitality. Third, we’ll add the spirit dragon crystals that can boost their regenerative abilities, and lastly, we’ll add Mithril, which can help them absorb the rest of the magical materials well.”

Mithril had a surprisingly interesting effect on these people, once they eat them, it is easier for their stomach to absorb the nutrients and effects of other materials. It only lasts for a bit, this is why it is required to be added into the Elixir’s ingredients.

“I think I can make something with this, can you leave it to me?” I offered my help.

“Hmm, alright.” My mother nodded. “You’ve proven yourself to be really amazing at Alchemy, you have special abilities too. I will trust you into this, Sylphy.”

“Alright! I won’t disappoint you, mom.” I smiled.

I started working almost right away, deciphering an “elixir” out of a bunch of metals and crystals wasn’t easy. But once Aquarina helped me, by giving me the idea of synthesizing a compound of liquid metal-like components, the ideas came endlessly. I went through three different recipes, adding and taking out different types of materials to complement the entire process.

Eventually, things came together in the third attempt, when all materials fused into a beautiful red colored metallic liquid, that didn’t have to keep itself at high temperatures to remain in this liquified state. It gave a shiny glow to it and had a strong sulfuric smell.

[You have successfully synthetized [Crimson Metal Elixir (S Grade)] x6!]

[You earned 3.000.000 EXP]

[You earned 60.000 Skill Proficiency]

[The [Fusion Alchemy: Lv3], [Cooking: Lv5] and [Metallurgy: Lv7] Skills have Leveled Up!]

It’s quite baffling I had to combine all three of these skills that don’t get along at all to create an Elixir made of Metals and Crystals. Its description does say it can heal and restore vitality, stamina, and even cleanse from most diseases to “compatible” lifeforms, while being completely poisonous to anything else.

“Alright, I-I think it’s done…” I said, gulping saliva. “Here.” I offered the elixirs to my mother, who analyzed them with her bright eyes.

“Surprising, it might actually work… Alright, Sphynxiette, can you help us feed these to them?” Asked my mother. “How many do they need to drink?”

“One now, another in 12 hours.” I said. “For all the effects to work, two doses are needed.”

“Alright.” Sphynxiette nodded. “Leave this to me.”

Sphynxiette gently feed the Elixirs to her people, who were on a state of dizziness. It was much easier for them to drink something liquid than to try to bite and swallow very hard and solid objects.

Eventually, once all three of them drank the elixirs, they felt much better, falling asleep without problems. Nepheline analyzed their bodies, and quickly nodded with a smile.

“It worked!”

“PHEW…”

We felt so relieved we all dropped into the cold sands. The sun had already departed, and we spent the whole day trying to make a cure after finding Sphynxiette. We’ve skipped two meals by now and we were starving.

“Everyone has worked hard today, so let’s have a bountiful dinner before bed, alright?”

Mom prepared a feast to celebrate today’s happenings.
