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

-----

When we got back home, we had to explain everything to my parents and stuff, and of course, Aquarina's parents and then my uncle and even Ninhursag. We spent a whole hour telling them what we went through. My parents were making all kinds of faces as we told them our journey in search for healing Saphaley's scar.

"S-So this girl…"

My mother pointed at Nephi who was eating a cake slice happily.

"She's… a god's creation?"

I nodded.

"She said she's a weapon sealed by the gods." I sighed. "I couldn't possibly leave her confined in the ruins now that I ended hatching her. She also saved my life so I owe it to her."

"I-I see…" My mother sighed. "I didn't knew that ruin held a treasure of the gods in there."

"Treasure of the gods?" I asked.

"Yeah… I guess we have never really told you about them." Said my father. "The thing we left behind in the Amazon Jungle years ago was also one, the one Ninhursag's family was entrusted to protect alongside the Amazons."

"Treasures of the Gods are special items left by them in their ruins. Cores filled with Divine Power that, if mishandled could explode and wipe out an entire piece of land, powerful accessories imbued with strong magic and curses, golems of ancient times that can wipe out entire armies in seconds, and… weapons of mass destruction. It is said that most of them are failed attempts at making them, so they left them behind like junk." My mother explained.

"Junk…" Nephi sighed, feeling slightly down. "Is Nephi junk?"

"A-Ah, of course not!" I said, cheering her up.

"However, if she said she's a weapon, then we better believe her." My father said. "Nephi… the power you used to defeat that spider, what was it?"

"The power I used?" Wondered Nephi. "I don't really know. There are words and powers imbued into my skin and my internal body. I just felt like using them and they came out. But they depleted my energy after that. I was about to faint but Sylphy healed me, giving me millions of mana to compensate for not having divine power, it worked and now I feel functional."

"Energy?" Shade asked. "So she has some sort of battery she needs to fill? I guess she's really a creation of the gods then, yet she's organic?"

"No, some parts of her look like a golem too, if you look at her shoulders." Nepheline pointed out.

"I see… I didn't realized." Shade nodded.

"You cannot produce your own energy?" My mother asked Nephi.

"No… I can't. The people that made me said… I was a failure. They said they wasted their time making me. They were angry after the big giant attacked them, and wanted to use me to wipe it out, but I was unable to, I cannot channel their strength property, I went in a rampage and only destroyed my surroundings. After that… they put me inside an egg and I was sealed." Nephi explained things very detailed.

"A giant…" My mother said.

"That's the first demon king, isn't it?" My father wondered.

"I guess she was one of the weapons they made to deal with it. Ultimately all failed if at the end they ran away." Shade said.

"No, some weapons did work though." My mother said.

"The First Hero and the First Saintess?" Nepheline asked.

"So… could they had been synthetic in nature, like Nephi here?" Ninhursag asked.

"Maybe… these heroes weren't even people to begin with. It was very strange they just showed up out of thin air in history." My mother said.

"Hmmm… Nephi, what happens if you run out of Mana?" My father asked.

"I… weaken and fall asleep." She sighed, feeling sleepy as she started resting over my shoulder. "Sylphy, I think I feel sleepy again…"

"Eh? You've ran out of Mana already?!" I asked.

"No… that's not it. I am… sleepy… Zzzzz…"

And she fell asleep normally.

"Oh, so she can also sleep normally…" My mother said.

"Uwawaahh! Why is she so close?!" Aquarina was freaking out from sheer jealously.

"Can Nephi stay with us?" I asked my parents.

The two looked at one another.

"Of course she will, she is dangerous… If we leave her go around se might end up falling in the wrong hands." My father sighed. "We'll have to take responsibility for her now."

"It is better if we have her here and we teach her to be a good person instead of letting her wonder around and end up growing corrupted after seeing how rotten this world can be." My mother sighed.

"R-Right… I wouldn't want Nephi to go down an evil path…" I sighed. "For now I'll carry her to an empty dormitory."

"Alright." My mother nodded. "Some of you accompany my daughter, carry Nephi for her."

"Yes milady."

A butler quickly tried to carry Nephi, but he couldn't.

"Nnngggh…! Hahhh…"

He was gasping for air.

"S-She's so heavy…"

"Eh?" I asked. "She is?"

I lifted her just fine.

"Let me see."

My father lifted her just fine.

"Let me see then."

My mother struggled like the butler.

"You two are just monsters, but yeah, this girl is very heavy. She's probably over five hundred kilograms… I guess the density of the metal she's made of makes her extremely heavy." My mother nodded. "Well, whatever's the case, you bring her up then."

"Alright~" My father agreed, bringing Nephi to her new room.

We left her sleeping there as I covered her in blankets. I filled her with some more Mana and then left her resting for now. I guess if she can sleep, she might be able to have dreams and all.

We spent dinner discussing everything that happened. And ultimately, everyone agreed to not talk about the new girl to anybody.

"Hm but having no protector would be strange. Also adopting her out of the blue would cause some problems if the nobles suspected us of something weird…" My mother was being overly cautious of her own domain.

"Then what do we do?" I asked worriedly.

"She'll become a maidservant." She decided. "We'll simply use your excuse to say we'll give her a job in the house as a maidservant. I'll get her a new uniform and all. It is fitting as well!"

"Eh? Is that your brilliant idea?!"
