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

—–

Trusting on Alice’s words, I took a peek at the three options once more.

[Please choose one of the Options]:

[Option 1]: [Golden Metal Blood]

[Option 2]: [Divine Metallic Skeleton]

[Option 3]: [Star-Soaring Wings]

Just looking at them made me nervous. But I had to carefully consider what I needed the most right now, and also the future of their growth when synergizing with the rest of my abilities. The Dragon Heart I have could also be considered something of a Cultivation Technique on its own as well.

Okay, first option. It could probably make my blood really heavy- And, well, tough. If I can gain the same power as Sphynxiette of wielding my metallic blood and use it to attack others with the eventual toughness of Orichalcum, very little would be able to survive.

And I could also get myself an unlimited amount of super tough metal I could extract right out of my own body. Above all, this metal could also become highly conductive for magic of all sorts, making my entire body stronger as a result.

Also golden metal blood is much tougher than just your usual red blood, that should already be a given…

Second option, a tough skeleton, so tough it is called divine metallic skeleton. Alright, this could potentially surpass whatever the Dragon Skeleton ability I want to eventually get could become… Or maybe not.

Seeing how I need that Skeleton Ability from the Dragons to continue the development of my Dragon Heart, it makes me wonder if the Skeletons will either overlap or not work together and I’ll have to choose between the two.

I guess this one is still very attractive, it could give me a better progression and growth than the blood. But the blood is still cooler, isn’t it?

And then, the wings… Star Soaring Wings. I guess I’ll pop up bigger, golden wings like those that Sphynxiette and her friends have?

Maybe their last stage could help me soar into the stars…

So I could meet the Gods in person.

But that’s… Wouldn’t my already evolved dragon wings help me do the same eventually? I got endless mana to fuel myself all the way up there, so yeah.

The tougher skeleton is nice, but I think I’ve already made my decision.

I’m going to have golden colored blood!

Ding!

[You have chosen the [Golden Metal Blood] Skill!]

[You learned the [Golden Metal Blood: Lv1] Skill.]

I was seriously expecting my entire body to begin boiling as my blood changed into a golden metal. But nothing really changed. Nothing at all. Everything remained the same as before, even after learning such a weird skill.

“Huh? Nothing happened?” I wondered. I inspected every inch of my body while Aquarina looked at me curiously. She was drinking some fresh fruit juice I left for her.

“What’s wrong? Come on, tell me what skill you got now.” She said, looking at me with her beautiful blue eyes.

“Err, well, it’s called Golden Metal Blood and I got it from a quest. Like, I got a quest that asked me to save Sphynxiette and her friends, got it? So I got a skill scroll that gives me a random skill from…” I was explaining as Aquarina stopped me midway through.

“Wait, what?! You got their blood now?!” She gasped.

“Hahaha, nah, not yet.” I laughed, cutting a wound from my hand and letting the blood out.

It was red, but it now had a slightly metallic hue to it, brighter than normal blood, and it even released a few sparkles once it dropped on the floor. The wound ended regenerating after three seconds of being opened, almost instantly.

“But it has some shiny metallic color now.” I said. “Oooh, it’s pretty interesting, huh?”

“Woah, so how… How does that work?” Aquarina was genuinely concerned.

“I’m fine, you don’t have to look at me so worried.” I giggled, patting her head. “So essentially, it is like a Cultivation Technique, over time it should slowly transform my blood and give me abilities related with it, I believe.”

As I explained, I took a look at the skill itself.

[Golden Metal Blood: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/20.000

A Special Skill only possessed by the Hegenemeia Tribe, who have golden-colored blood containing hundreds of synthetized components and ores together, forming an ultimate metal highly sought after across the stars, Orichalcum.

However, as this is a Skill derived from an ability that the Hegenemeia are born with, it has been transformed and adapted to the user’s body, working more similarly to a growth-

type Cultivation Technique that will slowly help the user refine their blood into the same blood the Hegenemeia possess, eventually.

To progress in the growth of this Skill, it is necessary to cultivate, refine, and temper your own blood. Absorb compatible materials, lose blood and regain it, and even manipulate it to acquire special blood-bending abilities stronger than even Blood Magic Spells.

Each Skill Level represents a Step of this Blood Refinement Process, Skill Proficiency will be earned accordingly to the Blood Refinement Process.

Current Blood Refinement Process: 0.1%

Blood Refinement Steps:

Step 1: Let Metal-Attribute Mana flow through your Blood constantly: 0.1/10%

???

Available Blood Abilities:

???

Level Bonus (1): Increases Physical Strength, Movement Speed, Reflexes, and Wound Regeneration Speed by +10%. Reduces Magic Damage Taken by -5%.

This looks pretty interesting! So every level will include a specific step I need to go through to advance to the next? So it’s ten steps, each step with 10% of Blood Refinement Process… Makes Sense.

Also I can unlock “Blood Abilities”! Though none are available right now. Maybe I’ll get some new ones once I get the Skill to Level Up?

Absorbing Metal-Attribute Mana and letting it constantly flow through my blood sounds easy enough. Metal-Attribute Mana can be refined out of almost any magic metal.

“I guess I’ll be using this big pile of Mithril I got…” I took out a big chunk of Mithril and by using my Mana, I started sucking away its Metal Attribute Magic Essence.

FLAAASH!

And then let it flow across my blood and… Holy shit this is painful!

“Ouch!”
