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

Everyone had quite the feast after slaying literal aliens, and even included these otherworldly creatures into their diet, with no repercussions at all, it seemed. Aquarina had made the wonderful discovery that these aliens’ viscosity and gelatinous bodies made for a perfect ingredient for desserts.

So big was her discovery that she even ended up learning a new Skill from that, a Skill she didn’t actually had at all before, mostly because her cooking abilities were mostly subpar a year ago, and she never put enough love and attention to the craft like Sylphy did.

Ding!

[After having cooked many special and unique dishes, you’ve been blessed with the power of Cooking.]

[You learned the [Experimental Cooking: Lv1] Skill!]

“Wait, what? Experimental Cooking?”

Aquarina was a bit confused about that name, it wasn’t just the usual Cooking Skill this time, but something… weirder.

—–

[Experimental Cooking: Lv1]

A Skill born from someone that has done unthinkable things to create food, despite how weird, disgusting, or experimental it might be.

Passively boosts the Quality and Taste of all Cooked Meals by 30%, while cooking Experimental Meals, their Success Chance of being Delicious increase by 50%.

Makes cooking dishes you’ve already cooked before much easier, as if you had a written menu inside of your head to easily follow.

The stranger and more experimental the dishes you prepare, the more this skill will level up.

[The [Experimental Cooking: Lv1] Skill has Leveled Up!]

“Huh, it’s okay I guess.”

After that, Aquarina gave a glance to her Status.

“Okay I guess, sixty more levels to go… That won’t be happening anytime soon,” she thought, smiling. “Elemental Spirit Vessel Leveled Up… Nice.”

“Aquarina! Are you ready to go?” Silvia asked.

“We’re waiting for you,” Justicio nodded.

“Yeah!” Pyuku said. “We should finish this quickly, Aquarina. So we can go back home while the sun is still out.”

“Alright!” Aquarina nodded, running towards her friends.

As she regrouped with everyone after packing up the dishes and everything else once she easily washed them clean using her water magic, she noticed Khepri was still eating what was left of the Blue Flan.

“Won’t you get fat if you eat so much, being so tiny?” wondered Aquarina.

“Spirits don’t get fat!” said Khepri. “We simply add all the sugar to our magic power, so I’ll be super powered up after eating this- In fact, isn’t it like the basic effect?”

“Yeah! I do feel a bit stronger, like my Mana is flowing faster,” said Silvia.

“Me too, honestly…” said Justicio. “Was it the dishes we ate?”

“Most likely…” Aquarina nodded. “It should only heal things like exhaustion or help you regenerate wounds faster, but I’m surprised it even boosts Mana Regeneration…”

“It truly does, it’s like Sylphy or her mother’s meals, they always leave you powered up for the day!” said Pyuku. “Did you get a Cooking Skill, Aquarina?”

“I did! I guess you guessed it right,” nodded Aquarina with a giggle. “Alright, no more chit-chat and giggling for now though! We have to get serious, whatever is lurking at the end of the corridor, it’s not going to be friendly. Everyone, Aura Up! Silvia, you’re the one with the weakest Aura, so watch your feet, remain behind us.”

“Wait, I can get inside of Khepri though!” said Silvia. “Khepri!”

“Sure! I feel much more powered up and refreshed,” nodded Khepri.

Khepri summoned her ornament, a beautiful giantess made of silver and golden metals, with many decorations made of red jewels.

She possessed the entire ornament, merging with it and activating it, as if it were her true body, Khepri walked towards Silvia and opened up.

More than a mecha, Khepri was more like a giant mecha suit or exosuit, it wasn’t big enough for Silvia to just leisurely sit inside, every movement of her arms and legs was the movement of Khepri’s body.

FLAAASH!

Once Silvia fully “equipped” Khepri, her Soul and Magic Aura merged with it, making the mecha readjust itself around her body, and grow even larger.

Her Soul Weapon was summoned, now completely mechanical, and stronger than ever.

“Damn, you really hit the jackpot with that, Silvia,” said Justicio. “Khepri is way too strong.”

“Hey! I can’t keep this up for longer than thirty minutes though, it drains too much Mana from Silvia.” Said Khepri. “So it’s not like its invincible.”

“But it’s very strong,” said Aquarina. “And I’m guessing it’ll become even stronger as you find more ornaments, which we’re doing right now… How close is it?”

“Very close!” Silvia’s voice echoed from inside of Khepri, talking through speakers. “Actually, it should be right around that corner… I can also sense flowing water, there must be an underground spring there.”

“A spring…” Aquarina squinted her eyes, quickly encompassing her body with her draconic scale armor, leading her party.

Once all of them turned to the other side and saw what was within the spring, they froze.

Its countless eyes glared at them instantly after they appeared.

Wiggling tentacles moved everywhere, merged with orichalcum and wires.

“A-Ah… Aaah…! AAAHHHH!”

And the creature started groaning, screaming monstrously.

RUMBLE!

Before it started rushing towards them.
