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

Shade and Nepheline led through the bustling city, there weren’t any ground vehicles, but there were flying mounts resembling giant jellyfish with colorful purple, pink, yellow, and blue tentacles.

The Molluskians sat down over their big heads, looking around the city while the one that controlled the jellyfish, probably through a Familiar contract, led them to their destination.

Some though, also simply used Flying Magic such as the Wind Elemental Spell Soar, or also the Floating Bubble Water Magic Spell, mostly every person in the city seemed to be proficient at magic.

“They’re at the level of elves in terms of magic power and talent…” Shade muttered. “Does every person possess this level of Mana and Spirit Energy within them?”

“I can also detect several Spirits everywhere, it seems mostly the entire population has contracted with one Spirit at the very least,” Nepheline analyzed.

“Yeah! You know about Spirits?” Ephiatta asked. “These are mine!”

The boy spread his little and cute hands, as he showed Shade and Nepheline three Spirits he had contracted. One of them resembled a red colored octopus the size of an apple with flames on top of its head, the second was silver colored crab with red antennae, and the third was blue colored fish with translucent and vibrant colored fins and eyes.

“At your age you already contracted three Spirits?!” Nepheline wondered. “T-That’s amazing…”

“It’s impressive, but unlike Elves I suppose they have not advanced that much into Magic Technology aspects, huh?” wondered Shade. “I guess Dwarves did a lot too regarding that.”

“Elves? Dwarves? Who are those?” Ephiatta wondered, confused.

“They are… well, people that live in the outside world,” explained Nepheline.

“We are both humans though,” Shade said, as Ephiatta was surprised.

“Humans! I’ve heard that word before I think! We were once visited by them,” Ephiatta said. “One day in the past I think. I remember humans talked with the King.”

“Really?” asked Nepheline. “What did they ask for?”

“Mama said they were greedy and wanted to take away the Rainbow Shell!” Ephiatta said. “But you aren’t mean and greedy right?”

As the girl asked this question, the air around them suddenly became calmer and drier, everything became silent for just a second.

“We aren’t…” Shade nodded.

“Definitely not that kind,” Nepheline agreed.

The two responded almost as quickly as they could, this strange feeling dissipated instantly, only making them more confused.

Was it an illusion? Something inside their minds? Just stress?

Or did it originate from that boy?

And that’s without even questioning what all of this was, and why it was happening!

The boy said they came from the past using a powerful rainbow shell.

Perhaps the same shell that Aquarina had talked about that got stolen…

“Are they really from the past? I cannot believe this, there’s no way such a powerful Spell exist that could bring them to the future this way exists!” Nepheline said.

“Time Magic alone is incredibly rare, have we ever met someone that actually could use it?” Shade wondered.

“There was once a Hero of Time… But that was like ten thousand years ago or more…” Nepheline muttered.

“Hmm…” Shade remained in silence for a moment. “For now let’s play along and learn more about this place. Remember Sylphy’s Dungeon? I think she also had a world of its own inside. And then I think Aquarina informed us she even had her own village of plant people, right? So everything could be possible. Dungeons can be more than we imagine.”

“Would that explain why there’s a sky in here?” wondered Nepheline, looking into the ceiling.

There wasn’t a ceiling, it was as if the second floor had disappeared. The stairs where they came from simply reached the skies and then disappeared, it felt completely nonsensical the more they thought about it.

The blue sky, with clouds and a sun of its own, seemed more natural than anything… They had learned, however, that Sylphy’s Dungeon could do something similar, and that these things were artificial imitations made by the dungeon itself.

“Maybe… I also find it weird that they accepted us so quickly,” explained Shade. “The people do look at us weird, but nobody is making a fuss about it or calling us out for being different.”

“It means they’re used to outsiders?” Nepheline wondered. “Or perhaps…”

“Well, for now let’s not overthink things and move on, it seems Ephiatta found his home.” Shade said.

“Here we are, this is my house!” Ephiatta waved his tiny hand at them.

The two quickly walked in front of the house, glancing at its colorful beauty, completely sculpted out of a huge family of corals.

“Oh I see, it’s a pretty house,” said Nepheline. “It’s huge too! Three floors long…”

“Yep, we like to climb high!” Ephiatta said. “Wait for me here! I’ll go talk with mom and dad first!”

The boy quickly moved inside his house, calling for his parents right away. The heroes stood there, glancing around the streets.

They were colorful, with paintings made of colorful stones on the pavement, there were houses of all shapes and sizes, some resembling giant starfishes, others large corals, some even giant snail shells with sharp spikes, and so on.

“These people sure know about fashion, let me tell you that…” Nepheline nodded. “I kind of like their whole style.”

“It’s a beautiful city, yes…” Shade nodded. “The air is fresh too, which is strange, we are underground…”

The two heroes glanced at the people moving everywhere. Most people moved to their jobs; it seemed they all worked to maintain their society.

They saw some shops that sold clothes, others that sold furniture, several restaurants with the delicious smell of seafood coming from them, and more specialized manufacturing areas.

Above all, in the distance, there was a big plaza where children played around, chasing one another while giggling.

It was a very… beautiful place.

“Should we keep this place a secret?” wondered Shade. “If we end up spreading the fact this city exists to the rest of the world, there’s a risk people might try to come down here and… do bad things to these people.”

“They seem rather naive, yes,” Nepheline nodded. “But first, we need to learn what is truly going on in here. Then we should go back to the surface to tell the villagers at least. I’m sure Aquarina and her friends would like to visit this place too.”
