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

Chapter 1011 A Mysterious Child

-----

We ate and celebrated a lot, so much that we ended super exhausted, and went to bed right away.

The two of us were so tired that the moment we dropped over the beds I brought in my inventory, we just fell asleep instantly.

I suppose there was no horny time this night…

…

BA THUM!

BA THUM!

Suddenly, as I slept, I found myself within my Soul Scape, still feeling quite dizzy, I could clearly hear the beating of a heart.

I set my eyes into the direction of this sound, finding the huge cocoon at the end of my Soul Scape, which has not changed ever since it begun to form several years ago.

It was beating faster and faster, something within it had finally developed a heart, looks like.

However, it felt strange… The huge cocoon wasnʼt just a new spirit being grown, it felt like something else, something much stronger.

And deeper…

Darkness slowly started to surge from within the cocoon, I noticed my Familiars were nowhere to be seen here…

FLUOSH!

The darkness engulfed me before I could make any sense of it, dragging me towards the cocoon, as I heard the whispering of a little voice as the shadows covered my body.

”Bah…”

”Huh?”

”Buh… bubih…”

”Eh?”

I kept hearing baby-like noises, as I started moving across the sea of darkness, until I finally found its origin, I was most likely inside the cocoonʼs ”dream” or maybe even its own soul scape.

And within this soul scape of endless darkness, there was a little thing, a small, baby-like silhouette, it was floating in midair, and once it noticed me, its white eyes turned deep red.

”Baah!”

It flew towards me, suddenly hugging me with its tiny arms… Just whatʼs going on?!

”W-Whatʼs going on? Who are you?”

”Guhh…”

The baby seemed disappointed I didnʼt recognize it. But I couldnʼt sense any presence or strong mind within it… it was a blank slate.

”Wait, youʼre the Spirit forming in my Soul Scape all this time?” I wondered.

”BAH!” The baby nodded; I couldnʼt tell its shape at all other than a small shadow thingy. ”Guguh… Babah?”

”I-I donʼt really understand you…” I said.

”Babah!” The baby said again.

Babah… Is it calling me mama or something? No way, right? No spirits born have called me mama before, not even Naturia.

But technically, this little one is being born from inside my soul, so it is technically my child, right? It is quite bizarre when you think about it…

”Gah!”

It began crawling around the shadows, growing eight spider-like legs.

”Oh, alright… So thatʼs what you are, a spider?”

”Guh!”

However, it suddenly changed their form again, turning slightly blue and gaining strong arms… and black horns.

”Wait, the blue demon?”

”Bah!”

Then it walked towards me, and the little baby changed shape again, turning deep red, covered on flames, and with two big horns spiraling from his forehead.

”Buho!”

”Youʼre a True Demon now?!”

But then it changed again, beginning to fly, gaining large bug-

like wings and an exoskeleton… landing on my head.

”Gugah! Heheh…!”

The baby giggled innocently as it turned back to their original, shapeless form… I guess it must still be trying to decide what it wants to be.

”If Iʼm not wrong, then you must have been born out the combination of all those Souls I got through EXP I couldnʼt properly digest?” I wondered. ”So youʼve got the Blue Demonʼs Soul Fragment, then Lilith and maybe the other two guys she came with, those True Demons Celeste and her cult had invoked back then, and then thereʼs Arachne and most likely her follower, that woman whose name I donʼt remember well anymore. I suppose they were unable to keep their minds, and only their Soul Fragments, their very power and essence remained…”

So theyʼre just technically dead I suppose, nothing to do about it. This baby is born out of their leftover Soul Essence though, which merged together attempting to finally become something.

Maybe all the other Soul Essence from True Demons Iʼve gotten had made it even slower, but now, it was finally getting somewhere.

These essences all started coming up together once my Soul Evolved into a Psyche! Is this baby also signaling my Soulʼs evolution, somehow?

”Bubuh…”

The baby then started floating in front of me and kissed my nose.

”Mooch! Mama!”

”M-Mama?!”

I felt somehow embarrassed and happy it called me like this… Although I also felt nervous, what exactly was this little child?

”Iʼm so confused about what you are… Are you feeling okay, at least? Is your creation going smoothly?” I asked them.

”Gaguh!” It nodded, it seemed to understand a bit of what I said.

”T-Then I hope youʼre okay…” I sighed. ”D-Do you need something? Why did you bring me here while I slept- Wait, do you have some sort of dream weaving ability?!”

”Buh?” It was confused. ”Bubuhh…”

”Or maybe you were… I see! Were you trying to ask me what form I wanted you to take?” I asked the baby.

”BAH!” It seemed to nod.

”I guess if I choose no form, you might be born soon but weaker… if I pick only one, it might be born in some more time, but stronger… But I think all of them identified who you are, youʼre a mix of everything, right? So why not pick all of them? Become your own thing by mixing them all up!”

”Babah…! Hmm!”

It suddenly nodded, feeling really happy. It started glowing as all the forms it had taken emerged one after another, and then, its whole body melted into an endless sea of darkness, lights resembling stars themselves started appearing amidst their body.

Then, the shape of countless spiders, then crimson eyes and demon horns, blue and red flames, and many other incomprehensible shapes…

I was slowly pulled away, until I appeared outside of the cocoon, and then, I fell back into my Soul Scape, as if waking up from whatever was that dream.

”Sylphy! Are you okay?” Aliceʼs voice echoed at my side.

”Master?” Nephi was in my soul scape too.

”I-Iʼm fine…” I sighed in relief. ”That child… will be quite strong, I think.”
