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

—–

After that long talk with Dad about our futures, and how we didn’t always have to obsess over what might happen and how we would react, but instead think about what we truly wanted to do with our own lives, we helped him prepare an incredible feast for everyone. Forty minutes later, when dinner was finally ready and the others were called to the table, they were greeted by a meal cooked by all three of us.

That conversation, however, left me with a lot to think about. Ever since I was born into this world, my focus had been on growing stronger, but I would be lying if I said I hadn’t also tried to enjoy life along the way. Now that I was practically an adult and undeniably powerful, many other thoughts started to surface.

When I was younger, my goal had simply been to grow up as quickly as possible and become as strong as I could. I am still getting stronger, of course, but it would be foolish to pretend I’m not already incredibly powerful. And my childhood… well, it was far from normal.

Attacked by a dragon at one year old, swarmed by giant demon flies on my birthday, kidnapped with Aquarina by a colossal skeleton, literally killed and then revived by my own power, forced to fight an entire cult of resentful demons—including a former friend—while protecting innocent demons and watching the city get invaded by True Demons and that dragon’s brother.

And after that, I moved to another continent, meet my grandparents, and then was sent to a whole other place in the outskirts of the elven kingdom where I grew up more safely for several years, and where I got to enjoy my life much better… until insectoid demons attacked us, and then we had to go and defeat a giant spider that had let an evil goddess descend into her body.

And then for vacations, we went to a giant floating continent and fought two false gods and freed a group of aliens that were forced to bleed endlessly by the gods…

And that’s without even including the time my Dungeon got attacked by the Dungeon God and had two of my friends killed because of that.

Holy crap, I really can’t catch a break, can I?

It makes sense why I would be so paranoid about wanting to grow stronger, there’s so many things that have happened to me…

And yet, I can’t just keep worrying about that alone.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I can’t make my life dedicated to the sole purpose of just wanting to kill some bastards up in the sky!

Nor about wanting to stop a war.

My dad wasn’t wrong… I have to decide what I want to do with my life too.

Dedicating it to war and battles is not…

It was never what I ever wanted.

Since my previous life I had only wanted to reunite with my family and continue our daily lives on the farm.

I just wanted to do that until I grew up, found a husband and built a family near my parent’s house, so we would continue living together.

That’s… that’s all I wanted to do.

I wanted to just live my life without worrying.

But even in this second life, I have been worrying and worrying and worrying.

Never truly living free.

I’ve been trying to grow stronger, always relying on myself at the end.

Without realizing it, I’ve been only thinking about surviving and not of living my life.

It’s a whole dilemma, huh? About what I should do with my life.

Right now I’m safe, enjoying food with my family and my friends, so aren’t I living a good life then?

Yeah…

I want to do something once I finish the academy, I don’t want to worry about wars, or fighting gods…

“Hey!”

I want to live my life with Aquarina…

And for that, I need to stop being so paranoid, and I need to stop thinking I have to solve everything myself.

I have to rely on everyone too.

And I need to stop thinking about wars, and about all the battles I think I MUST go through.

Perhaps I’m the only one thinking like this, I’ve been the only one constantly thinking about how much I need to fight.

“Sylphy…”

I have been completely forgetting that I also have to enjoy this life more…

Do yeah, dad was really great at telling me these things, but I should’ve expected that from him.

He’s an amazing father.

The best dad ever actually!

So what should I do right now?

“Sylphy? Hey Sylphy?”

Perhaps what my dad told me was good, working for the Magician Tower sounds exciting while we research magic together.

It could even help me unravel more of the secrets of Alice and the System, and also of my own Endless Mana.

“Sylphy? Hello? Is someone there?”

And then I could probably also… I don’t know, I kind of want to become a professional royal alchemist or something and open a big shop.

Maybe in the capital? Then that means that I’ll accept grandpa’s gift and get a manor with Aquarina.

Wow, that sounds really nice the more I think about it… part time Alchemist with my cute shop, and then I go to the Magician Tower to study magic and do classes from time to time.

Meanwhile Aquarina does her Adventurer work, and there’s nothing saying we can’t do most things together as our works will overlap easily.

I might even go out of my way to invite her to the Magician Tower too, perhaps being a Princess and her being my wife could help me getting her in there…

And then every year we go out for two or three months and explore the world, met new people and see new places… collect new materials.

And perhaps we beat bad guys if we find them…

“SYLPHY!”

“Eek?! W-What? What?”
