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

189 The Mysterious Egg

—–

Somehow, I had landed inside of Aquarina’s Soul scape.

But what is a Soul scape? Well, it had been briefly explained before, but soul scape is a special space inside the soul where familiars and spirits can reside.

And your own consciousness can go there as well when you sleep, so you can train magic and talk with your spirits.

Of course, it is better to always just train in the outside world, but inside of the soul scape its always relaxing.

It often shapes itself to the elements of the familiars and what they feel comfortable with.

The places where they felt the most comfortable is often where the soul scape will shape itself.

Naturia shaped my soul scape as a forest with a vast grassland, while Ignatius made a part into a volcanic wasteland. And then, there was a Furoh which made a part into some sort of black desert with a forest filled with fog...

Aquarina only had one spirit of water, so her entire soul scape was an ocean with a small island on it.

.....

And in the island, there was a pond of water with an altar holding a mysterious egg.

I wondered if I could bring my spirits in here, but it was impossible, they didn’t reacted to me.

“I don’t know how I got here, but it seems that this egg is special... It has a very strong spiritual power of water... I can sense it... It kind of reminds me of Leviathan when he showed up...” I said.

“Leviathan?” asked Aquarina.

“Yeah...” I said.

“Hmm...” sighed Aquarina, as she stepped into the pond of ocean water, and I followed her from behind.

The water was cold in our feet, and there were algae and even fishes swimming around this little pond, it was an interesting place.

“So what do you think this egg could be then?” wondered Aquarina.

“I don’t know, but I think it is something special... Have you tried touching it? I remember that my fire spirit hatched from an egg too!” I said.

“Touching it...” said Aquarina.

She touched the egg lightly with her finger, but nothing happened.

For that second.

The second after, the egg began to glow with a bright light, flashing with a bright aquamarine aura that spread around wondrously.

FLAAAASH!

“Uwah...! What is happening now?!” asked Aquarina.

“It is reacting to you! Touch it more, hold it!” I said.

“O-Okay!” said Aquarina. She hurriedly grabbed the egg with her hands, as she suddenly infused mana into it without realizing- no, it was more as if the egg itself drained mana out of her.

The egg continued to glow brightly as it gained a new bluish glow to it, and then, it began to slowly crack!

Crack!

Crack...!

“Wow!” said Aquarina in surprise.

“It is cracking, it is about to be born!” I said.

“No way... Am I getting a new pet?” asked Aquarina in surprise.

CRASH!

Suddenly, the egg cracked into pieces, as an explosion of aquamarine light sent us all flying into the air.

BOOM!

I fell over the sand as I didn’t felt any pain, but I did felt a bit dizzy.

“Aquarina...? Where are you?” I wondered.

“I am here... Ugh, it suddenly got chilly all out of nowhere...” said Aquarina.

We quickly stood up as we began to slowly walk towards the place where everything happened, the altar was now crushed into pieces, and the pond of water was... frozen.

What we found in front of us was something completely out of the ordinary, it was... something we had never seen before at all. I wondered what it could even be, but I really couldn’t imagine what else could it be other than the being inside the egg.

Amidst an icy fog, a small and snake-like creature suddenly flew towards Aquarina and jumped over her, attacking her!

“GROAR!”

“Kyyyaaaah!”

“Aquarina!”

I rushed to her rescue as fast as possible, but when I reached her, I found Aquarina in the floor, being licked by what seemed to be something similar to a small draconic sea snake, covered by crystalline scales and having a small and cute head, licking her entire face.

“Hahaha! Stop! It tickles!”

“Graaoo~”

The little sea snake seemed friendly and cute, as it continued to lick Aquarina’s face. I wondered where this thing came from, it didn’t seem to be related with Leviathan, or at least, it is not him.

But what is this then? Is this her own spirit? Did Aquarina just created one over time?

And this ice growing everywhere... this spirit is an Ice-Attribute Spirit!

“Wow, what kind of spirit is this?” asked Aquarina.

“I don’t really know, but it should be something related with Ice...” I said.

“Ice?” wondered Aquarina.

“Did you make a pact with it?” I asked.

“Yes, it was almost instantaneous... when it happened, I saw a bit of its memories... I saw various things... Within them, there was something special that I had not seen before...” she said.

“W-What did you see?” I asked.

“I saw a lot of giant snake-shaped dragons swimming in the ocean, and they were all living in harmony in the oceans, swimming around with other smaller people... And in there, there was someone else as well...” she said.

“Oh? What else? What else?” I asked excitedly.

“A gigantic sea snake! It was so big... Was that the Leviathan you always talk about? I saw it leaving a special egg inside of me, and then leaving, as if flying into the skies, the heavens...” said Aquarina.

“T-That must be Leviathan... So he left this egg for you. This little spirit must be related to him! Maybe it is his egg? Wait, her egg... Was Leviathan a girl this entire time?!” I wondered.

“M-Maybe?” said Aquarina.

“Grao!”

The little sea snake-like dragon suddenly began floating around the air, while leaving icy fog everywhere. It had a hard time controlling his elemental power. It was going to be a bit hard to tame it.
