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

141 I Want To Learn Death Magic!

—–

My mother and my father quickly began to celebrate that a second child was coming. So, after we ate our lunch, my mother quickly decided to bake a cake to celebrate the week of life the baby had lived so far, which I told her the age of.

Meanwhile, my father went off into the nearby forest to hunt for wild beasts. He said he wanted to have a big feast with a lot of grilled meat for mom, so she can have a lot of protein for the child... and fat.

I guess my mother might truly grow fat after this. They’re really embracing the easygoing marriage life as of now... ah well. I’m pretty sure my mother can reduce her weight with magic, there are certain spells more advanced than Metabolism Enhancement, after all, which could help her consume fat in seconds.

I guess it’s more like she’s just willingly storing fat for winter... like bears.

Wait, she’s an elf. I shouldn’t use such comparisons.

“Mom, are you sure a cake will do you good?” I wondered.

“Eh? Ah... but we must celebrate!” replied my mother.

She had indeed become a bit more gluttonous now...

.....

“I guess you’re right...” I could only say in response.

I didn’t wanted to annoy her over it, so I decided to cut it off for now and help her out a bit.

We began making some whipped cream. Soon after, shemade the layers for the cake. She was making a classic vanilla cake with white whipped cream on top, with boiled fruits covered in sugary water, which we got from the storage.

“Sylphy, bring me the fruits, will you?” she asked.

“Sure!” I nodded.

I walked around the house and got into the storage room. There was a special magic in here that made non-living items keep their freshness for a while. It was something I had never seen before.

I remember that my mother even told me once that they did something similar, but with Ice Magic, freezing things in storage rooms with ice to maintain the food.

But this place uses a spell she calls “Preservation”, which is a Death attribute spell that can preserve items that decompose, such as all food. There are other spells from the Death attribute, such as Sterilization, Deodorization, Disinfect, and Detoxification, which are all very useful at preserving food and even cleaning a place.

I never thought Death Magic could be used in such many ways. One would always assume that Death Magic was all about just killing people or raising the undead, right? To think it has more uses than that.

Of course, my mother was also an amazing magician. Although her specialization was in Life, Nature, and Light for the most part, she could use almost all other elements. She said she could use up to Tier 5 Death attribute spells, and that she could even raise skeletons and stuff. Though, she didn’t do it because she wasn’t able to control them well, and well, there was no point in doing so.

She could also create summons like what she and father showed me back then, which they left protecting the place whenever we’re not her. They often take the form of angelic creatures, and varied in strength... well, those were often made with Creation Magic.

Anyways, thanks to Death Magic, we can enjoy fresh food that lasts very long, and perhaps a lot of the house being free from bugs and stuff might also be because of this.

In short, Death Magic is amazing.

I want to learn Death Magic!

My mother told me that I had an affinity for all elements due to my Elemental Magic Circle, so I could very much learn as much magic as I want, but she’s slowly trying to teach me what she’s better at first. Well, certain elements like Death and Blood were dangerous if handled by children.

Ah... now that I remember, my little sibling had a natural affinity for Death and Blood...

I hope he doesn’t start using that magic the moment he’s born, or it might cause some problems...

Well, if something happens, I’m sure my parents will be able to seal its mana or something. After all, they had showed the ability to do so before.

I browsed around the storage room and found several glass jars filled with sweet water and floating fruits cut into pieces inside it. There were Eden Apples, Spring Damascuses, Summer Watermelons, Verdant Life Kiwis, and many others.

These were all not normal fruits, obviously... these fruits were the ones we harvested in here. They were all magically enhanced and held varied effects, but most of the time they could enhance physical abilities momentarily, give greater damage using a certain element, and stuff like that.

There was a fruit named Blazing Strawberry, which has a very citric flavor. When I eat them, my Fire Magic becomes incredibly strong. Even my Ember skill becomes mighty because of it. Perhaps I should make some potions out of them? Well first, my mother has to teach me alchemy...

“Here, mommy,” I said, bringing to my mother the things she asked for.

My mother smiled warmly as she grabbed the jars and left them by the side.

“Thank you, dear. Now we just have to wait for things to bake... phew,” my mother said as she sat down over a cushion and rested.

“Are you feeling tired again?” I asked.

“Yeah, I got tired all of a sudden again... I think I know the reason why. The baby might be occasionally draining my mana... I remember you doing the same,” mother replied.

“Eh? Wouldn’t that be dangerous? Don’t elves use a lot of mana in their metabolism?” I asked.

“Yeah, but don’t worry. It’s not something I can’t handle... elven motherhood is like this. We women get tired more so often... if my sister, who’s way weaker than me, was able to have like five kids, I’m sure I will be okay, seeing how I am a Priestess and a Hero...” said my mother.

“Ah, I guess you’re right...” I said as I sat down beside her.
