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



-----

"Uncle! Where have you been?!" I asked Arafunn, I was quite angered he hadn't showed up for breakfast.

"Hahaha, sorry, I kind of got a bit too busy in the bar last night and I enjoyed a nice night with a handsome and burly man that- Ahem! I mean, I've been busy strengthening my magic!" He said while trying to swallow the words he said seconds earlier.

"Huh, you're bad at lying." My mother facepalmed.

"C-Come on Faylen, give me a break." My uncle laughed.

These last years he had been getting more cheerful and less melancholic. I don't know if I've been able to help him though, but my mother said that part of his development was all the times I've cheered him up, and of course, the words of everyone else.

But now he's been having more "busy" nights lately. It is rather surprising the amount of bisexual elven men out there. But I guess not many can resist uncle's charms, he's way too handsome. I just hope he can get a boyfriend instead of just hopping from men to men, it would probably make him happier to have a more established relationship. But it seems he can't really find anybody like the one he truly loved.

"Ahem! So anyways, everyone! How are you doing? I was… overhearing the conversation. And I want to go as well!" Arafunn said with a smile, his eyes shining brightly.

"Err, well sir Arafunn, if you truly want to go…"

"Yes, sure?"

"Of course, if you want to?"

The nobles didn't seem to mind.

"Arafunn you've been ignoring our meetings for ages now and you just show up?" My mother seemed angry. "I bet you have some other ulterior motive behind this…"

"H-Hey, you're treating me like a villain or something! I am a hero too, right?" Arafunn sighed.

"Arafunn's Wind Magic would be very useful at helping us guide ourselves across the Wild Lands, to spot dangers from afar, and to find the children quicker." Said Shade. "We would appreciate your help, friend."

"Ahh, Shade! Thank you!" Arafunn felt happy.

"Well sure, you're welcome." Father nodded.

"Allan! Thank you as well, then I'll be joining! Let's depart!" He said.

"Not yet, uncle, in a week and a half from now." I said.

"H-Huh? So late…?!" He asked in disappointment.

"Are you hiding from someone or something?" My mom wondered.

"N-No…" Arafunn said while averting her gaze from her.

"Wait… Now I remember! In three more days mom's visiting. You don't want to talk with her?" Wondered Faylen. "She's your sister-in-law, you know?"

"I-It's not because of her…" Arafunn said.

He didn't had a good relationship with the family overall, and probably wanted to avoid any sort of interaction with them, I presume…

"Once mother arrives I'll also make sure to tell her about this. I've already sent a letter to my father, let's see what his response is. In the worst-case scenario he'll say this is a test and won't even help. Mother's more soft than him though, so she'll probably, at the very least, may provide monetary help to arm our forces and pay more knights, soldiers, or mercenaries to protect the city and increase the overall security." My mother said.

"Yes, let's make sure to treat her very well!"

"We shall make the grandest party for her! We've already begun preparations, in fact!"

"Indeed, it is known that the Fairy Queen is very fond of parties and carnivals, right?"

"I suppose we'll have to invest some money into this yes." My mother nodded, giving them her approval. "Let's continue those preparations as well. We'll have to use everything at our disposal to curry her favor."

Like that, conversations ended. However, as the nobles left, a new discussion began, one revolving around the three nymph goddesses, the dungeon, and the ruins left behind. Our parents seemed interested in the gods and what they did in the past. We trusted them, so we just told them everything.

"So those dumb Nymph Goddesses were evil in the past…" My father felt perplexed. "Heh, well, they got a good punishment. They became this dumb because their true minds were sealed in an artifact of their own creation! Ironic."

"I did knew through my research that we were considered the gods servants. But… slaves? We were simply made to become their slaves and disposals…" Shade sighed. "I knew of our family's bloodline powers and their origins, but… to think it was like this."

"Well, still, that's kind of in the past, no?" Nepheline sighed, crossing her arms. "Not like we are their slaves any longer. Even after receiving their powers, we've not done as they wish and they cannot do anything to us either way."

"Nepheline, they possessed Aquarina and tried to use her as their vessel." Shade revealed this to her.

"W-What?! They… what?! Fucking bitches! They dared to use my little girl like that?!" Nepheline hugged Aquarina tightly. "Damn gods… Okay, I get it now! Let's go kill them!"

"Don't go overboard…" Shade sighed. 

"We cannot possibly let this information leak out. The church of the gods is spread all around the world, even in the Atlanta Continent, our entire Elven Kingdom is ruled also using religion and the Gods. We would all be treated as ultimate sinners if we said such things to the public."

"I knew this would happen." I sighed. "Even when there are proof of their damned attitude, we can't do a single thing."

"That's… realistically speaking." My mother smiled back at me.

"Huh?"

"We need even more proof. We need to research more. Once we can find undeniable fact of these things… I will show them to my father. My father might be a damn bastard sometimes, he might be rough, he might be harsh and cold, but one thing we have in common is that we dislike the church, and he's not someone fond of the gods either." Mother said. "This might take many years to complete, but eventually, we could bring the truth about the god's intentions, the past, and the origin of our creation to the entire world. That the gods are not our allies nor protectors, and that they only see us as a tool to fight to regain the planet they invaded, and as their disposable slaves."

Woah, mother really surprised me there. I guess I shouldn't had thought of her so low, she's really someone amazing.
